2IPP Overview
About the Innovative Partnerships Program
• IPP is seeking to add value to NASA’s Mission Directorates and their programs and projects, through technology development and infusion to meet mission needs.
• IPP seeks leveraged funding to address these technology barriers via cost-shared, joint-development partnerships.
• IPP Seeks to transfer technology developed by NASA for commercial application and other benefits to the Nation
• IPP seeks increased participation from new sources of innovation for addressing NASA’s technology challenges.
• Facilitator– Bringing parties together, both inside and
outside the agency.– Bridging communication gaps.
• Catalyst– Acting as a pathfinder for implementing new
things – change agent.– Creating new partnerships.– Demonstrating effectiveness of new
approaches and methods.

11IPP Overview
Maxwell Technologies of San Diego, California fabricated and tested an ASCII chip with single event latch up protection technology. Innovation enables the use of commercial chip technology in space missions, providing higher performance at a lower cost. Supplying A to D converter for Mars 2003 Rovers.
Yardney Technical Products of Pawtucket, Connecticut developed lithium ion batteries with specific energy of >100Wh/kg and energy density of 240 Wh/l and long cycle life. Subsequently, they won a large Air Force/NASA contract to develop batteries for space applications. They are supplying the batteries for the 2003 Mars Rovers.
Starsys Research of Boulder, Coloradodeveloped several paraffin based heat switches that function autonomously. Heat switches control radiator for electronics package on Mars 2003 Rovers.

SBIR technology contributions to MSL/CheMin
CheMin MSL ‘09 Flight Instrument
Microwave Power Technology of Campbell, California developed a small-format carbon nanotube field emission cathode (CNTFE) X-ray tube for CheMin. While a tungsten cathode was ultimately baselined for the flight tube, the form, fit and function of the flight tube was derived from this SBIR.
Dual-cell piezoelectric sample shaker
InXitu, Inc. of Mountain View, California developed a powder handling device for X-ray Diffraction Analysis based on Piezoelectrically- induced sample motion, and a miniature X-ray tube having a grounded cathode configuration is being developed to enable a further 2-fold reduction in the size of CheMin prototype instruments.
