| Project | Title | Period | TRL | Status | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 155365 | Passive SMA Heat-Pipe Radiators | 2024-01 → 2025-12 | — | Completed | unknown |
What Was Developed¶
Passive thermally deployed shape-memory alloy (SMA) heat-pipe radiators for high-intensity small spacecraft thermal management. Minimal TechPort record — no description, no TRL data, no contacts listed in cache.
This is one of two recently-completed radiator projects in the 2024 SST cycle (alongside U Dayton [155366]).
Assessment¶
Outcome category: unknown (too recent, sparse data)
Pattern: Latest SST cycle — insufficient data for meaningful assessment. Check back after TechPort record is updated with closeout details.
