NASA SBIR award to Quest for novel Cellular Load Responsive MLI
Quest is pleased to receive another NASA SBIR contract - to develop our latest concept Cellular Load Responsive MLI. CLR is a high performance cryogenic insulation for use on launch vehicles. This insulation self evacuates via cryopumping when in contact with cryopropellant tanks, and does not require any external vacuum acquisition. CLR would be ideal insulation for launch vehicles, operates both in-air and in-space, replaces SOFI and by dramatically reducing propellant boiloff improves launch capabilities.
