FFD is proud to celebrate our 10 year founding anniversary this month! We were incorporated in June, 2010.

Over the last decade, we’ve gone from a part time hobby to a full fledged NASA contractor with multiple employees and tangible space flight ambitions.

Thank you for all your support through the years. We hope the next 10 years bring us to orbit and the Lunar Surface!

We officially completed our Phase I SBIR and delivered our Lunar Space Suit Boot to NASA last week.
Here you can see the boot being pressurized in order to test the fit of the MLI (Multi-Layer Insulation) onto the pressure garment. The boot can hold an ultimate pressure of 22 psi, with its nominal operating pressure being 8.3 psi. This is nearly 3 times higher pressure than the Apollo Suit!
The MLI is made up of many layers of Mylar and spacer mesh, that are nested in between the inner liner and outer layer of the EPG (Environmental Protective Garment). The MLI is one of the main components to protecting astronauts from harsh environment found on the moon, with temperatures that fluctuate from +250°F when in direct sunlight, to -350°F when in permanent shadow.
