ARIECA INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: Z2
ARIECA INC. — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $125,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code Z2 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in">In this SBIR project, we will develop a passive thermal management system for microelectronics that are integrated into space suits, gloves, and other soft goods. The system will be composed of a thermally conductive rubber that is molded around the heat-producing components. In order to enable mechanical deformation, the microelectronic components will be wired together with soft and stretchable circuitry. In general, the circuit wiring can be any soft conductor that maintains low electrical resistivity when stretched. For the purposes of this project, we will use wiring composed of a non-toxic, biocompatible eutectic alloy of gallium and indium.</p><p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in"> </p>
