About this technology

Overview

NASA Kennedy Space Center seeks partners interested in the commercial application of the Feedthrough for Severe Environments and Temperatures. NASAs Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is offering companies licensing or partnering opportunities in the development of this innovative technology. KSC's new design provides a solution for the hermetically sealed feedthrough of wires, tubes, or fibers from one process side to another process side. Ether process side for a particular application can be high pressure or high vacuum. Additionally, the temperature of either process side can be either extremely cold (-452 degF) or elevated (305 degF). The design is capable of handling thermal cycling, pressure cycling, corrosive environments, and severe transient conditions with no leakage or other problems.
