NASA awards Quest Phase I contract for VCSMLI
NASA has selected Quest for a Phase I contract to work on Vapor Cooled Structure MLI (VCSMLI). VCSMLI is a novel vapor cooled discrete spacer system that can intercept heat from cryogenic tank supports, such as skirts or struts, before the heat gets to the tank. VCSMLI is a lightweight, highly efficient cooling system, further improving cryogenic fluid storage capabilities needed for long duration space exploration missions.
