Abstract:Sierra Engineering Inc. (Sierra) proposes to perform the fundamental research necessary to understand the thermal decomposition kinetics of High Test Peroxide (HTP) and its interactions with common stabilizers, in order to produce a practical thermaldecomposer. The utilization of HTP as rocket… more
Abstract:Combustion instability is one of the greatest development risks for liquid propellant engines. The risks arise in development of a stable injector design from a variety of sources - limited modelling capabilities, poor scalability and the high cost ofappropriate component test facilities. Sierra… more
Abstract:Advancing and applying our recent NASA-sponsored research for deep space avionics, we propose to develop new algorithms which - provably, autonomously, and in the presence of faults i) optimize the selection of channels from the radio frequencyTransmission Hypercube, as it is termed in the OSD03-026… more
Abstract:During Phase I, EtherWare determined the feasibility of a novel, small, mobile satellite terminal incorporating spread-spectrum modem technology with an affordable, low-profile tracking antenna. The modem technology is derived from commercially developed,high volume DBS and terrestrial CDMA… more
Abstract:"The goal of the proposed Phase I effort is a feasibility study on the design and development of an innovative, fail-safe, controllable magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) smart pad for shock and vibration mitigation of Trident submarine based vertical launchweapon systems. The objective of this… more
Abstract:"Amain proposes to develop a large staring array monolithic visible light camera with extremely low power analog to digital conversion, A/D, at each pixel. The approach is based on oversample A/D techniques developed for audio applications, generally knownin the industry as delta sigma A/D. Each… more
Abstract:"ASI's plasma consultant, Igor Alexeff, PhD, has invented, tested and patented an atmospheric pressure, dc of 60 Hz AC discharge, that has been operated in air, helium, argon and nitrogen. The apparatus has in laboratory testing successfully destroyedmicroorganisms. The apparatus does not require a… more
Abstract:"Through theoretical analysis and experimental testing ASI is ascertaining the suitability of using gas plasma for a high-powered, reconfigurable antenna operating in both the S and X-bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. This design would be used todetect and track ballistic missile. We believe… more
Abstract:"The performance of any radar, antenna, or electronic system depends on its ability to project and defend itself against various forms of electromagnetic interference including frequencies in the S and X band. Our proposal is to design a plasma barrier andtunable frequency selective surfaces that… more

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
