This Phase I SBIR will lead to the development of a bandwidth tailored pump source for high purity photon pair generation. Spontaneous parametric down conversion can be used to generate high purity photon pairs at wavelengths of interest to NASA and the broader scientific community. However, these sources are highly dependent on pulsed pump laser parameters. Traditional pulsed laser sources are la ...

GTLrsquo;s breakthrough ultra-lightweight composite dewar-tank technology is game changing by providing hydrogen weight fractions in excess of 59% for small tanks, with over 70% achievable with medium scale LH2 tanks, including vacuum insulation. This capability addresses a critical need in the conversion of single-aisle aircraft from Jet-A to liquid hydrogen to eliminate carbon emissions. With GT ...

This project proposes a coprocessor companion to future radiation-hardened processors that can boost performance using commercial Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). nbsp;This project will investigate the feasibility of using dynamically reconfigurable coprocessing circuitry within a proven fault-tolerant architecture known as RadPC.nbsp; The RadPC architecture has been matured through NASA-fun ...

This Phase I SBIR will lead to the development of key photonic components for use in high performance quantum sensors and clocks. AdvR proposes to develop very high performance phase and amplitude modulators for use at visible and ultra-violet wavelengths. The proposed innovation utilizes high performance, damage resistant optical waveguides with high speed traveling wave electrodes to provide int ...

Amalgamated Vision (AV) is an engineering company designing optics for head mounted display (HMD). AVrsquo;s optical engine is intended to be an OEM component that is vendor and content agnostic. It can be integrated into the electromechanics of any HMD for a user experience that avoids the common visual and physical impairments associated with current HMD systems. Based on laser beam scanning, vi ...

Entry, descent, and landing systems with capability beyond current state-of-the-art are required for a number of missions. These missions represent an immediate need for return of orbital payloads, and include larger milestone objectives up to a manned flight to Mars which requires landing a payload many times beyond that achieved to date. In this Phase I SBIR, Storm Castle Technical Products inte ...

Quantum light sources are a critical need for NASA and the broader scientific community. The proposed program will develop ultra-high brightness, low loss, integrated quantum light sources in the IR spectral regime using waveguide-based technology.

NASArsquo;s Life Support and Habitation Systems Focus Area seek key capabilities and technology solutions that enable extended human presence in deep space and on planetary surfaces such as the moon and Mars, including Orion, ISS, Gateway, Artemis, and Human Landing Systems. One of the critical technological gaps listed includes clothing washer/dryer combinationnbsp;for use on the moon (1/6g) or M ...

This project aims to mature an innovative approach to advance the state-of-the-art in high performance space computing through the development of a fault tolerant RISC-V flight computer with coprocessor support.nbsp; This project builds on over 14nbsp;years of NASA-funded research at Montana State University (MSU) on strategies to provide fault tolerance in space computers through the implementati ...
