Public award description
NEW & INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES ARE NEEDED TO SUPPORT EXPLORATION OF REMOTE & PRESENTLY INACCESSIBLE TERRAIN FEATURES ON MARS & ENABLE SURFACE & SUBSURFACE MATERIAL SAMPLING. KEY AMONG THOSE NEW TECHNOLOGIES IS THE ABILITY TO MEASURE & CONTROL FORCE & TORQUE LOADS ON ROBOTIC ARMS, TETHER PLAY-OUT & DIRECTIONAL SYSTEMS & SUBSURFACE BORING SYSTEMS. PRESENTLY AVAILABLE MULTI-AXIS SENSORS DO NOT SUPPORT ALL OF THESE MISSION REQUIREMENTS, PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO SMALL SIZE, LOW MASS & LOW-TEMPERATURE SURVIVABILITY & OPERATION. THIS INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL PRODUCE A FORCE/MOMENT FEEDBACK SENSOR THAT CAN RELIABLY OPERATE IN SPACEFLIGHT/MARS ENVIRONMENTS THAT WOULD FULLY SUPPORT THIS PLANETARY MISSION. FUTEK ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. HAS THE MARS HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE & INDUSTRY KNOW-HOW TO DESIGN & DEVELOP THE REQUIRED COMPACT, LOW MASS, 6-AXIS MULTI-COMPONENT CRYOGENIC TRANSDUCER.
