Solarcore Textile (0.8mm thick polymer aerogel-infused non-woven nomex/kevlar)

The NASA/NSSC is seeking to acquire Solarcore Textile, a 0.8mm thick polymer aerogel-infused non-woven nomex/kevlar material, for use in advanced cryogenic storage systems. The material will be used to enable long-duration storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and other cryogenic propellants for future aeronautics and space exploration missions. The vendor shall provide flexible polyimide aerogel embedded fabric meeting specific requirements, including low density, high porosity, and low thermal conductivity. The delivery timeline is 45 days, and the delivery address is NASA/Glenn Research Center. Key requirements include: • Polyimide aerogel integrated into a continuous fiber fabric architecture • Flexible blanket suitable for wrapping curved cylindrical and spherical tanks • Low density (<0.20 g/cm³ preferred) • High porosity (>90%) • Low thermal conductivity suitable for cryogenic environments • Capable of operation from cryogenic temperatures through elevated aerospace temperatures
