Distributed Intelligent Swarm Control & Utilization System (DISCUS): Further Maturation and Demonstration
SBC: SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC Topic: T4DISCUS is a generic Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) system for swarms of SmallSats. It integrates communications and relative localization with innovative Density Control Algorithms (DCA) enabling robust operation in a variety of uncertain environments. As such, it presents a key enabling technology for future Deep Space missions including space apertures at Lagrangian points, and orbiting ...

Volume Sensor for Flexible Fluid Reservoirs in Microgravity
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: T6The Advanced Space Suit carries consumable cooling water maintained at ambient pressure within a soft-walled, flexible reservoir. To ensure uninterrupted thermal control it is critical to monitor the volume of water remaining, but no known sensor is suitable for this task. Existing measurement techniques are unacceptably sensitive to the motion and varying geometry of the reservoir in microgravity ...

3D Printing Magnetic Circuit Components for Hall Effect Thrusters
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: Z10The magnetic topography in Hall effect thrusters (HETs) plays an important role in focusing the electrons and controlling the plasma discharge which in turns governs the thruster performance. The magnetic circuit components constitute more than half of the thruster mass. To produce low-mass thrusters, the design of the magnetic circuit needs to be optimized. The advanced magnetic alloy (AMA) is ...

Regeneratively Cooled Ceramic Matrix Composite Nozzle Assembly for Reduced Weight
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: T9All rocket missions benefit from having lower structural mass and higher specific impulse, both of which contribute to larger payload fractions and therefore lower mission cost. High temperature materials such as ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are an avenue to lower engine mass because of the low density and high specific strength of the material. They also have a high maximum temperature and so ...

Project Patchwork- Wirelessly Networked Structural Analysis Devices for Aircraft
SBC: Mide Technology Corporation Topic: A2Through this SBIR effort, NASA is looking for innovative technology to bolster its flight research capabilities. Particularly, NASA seeks the development of innovative measurement and data acquisition approaches. Mide through a past RIF BAA for Navair, developed a stand-alone high performance data logger for vibration/acceleration, pressure, and temperature. The device, dubbed the Slamstick X, w ...

Bi2212 Superconductors for High-Power Density Motors for Aero Propulsion
SBC: SOLID MATERIAL SOLUTIONS LLC Topic: A1Future hybrid aircraft, such as NASA’s N3-X plan, will require all-superconducting electric motors and generators in order to achieve power density in excess of 10 kW/kg. Unlike the DC rotor, the stator must operate in AC mode, for example, from 0-0.5 T at 120 Hz, making it impossible to use high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes due to their high losses in transient fields, requiring in ...

Electrochromic Laminates For Advanced Spacesuit Visors
SBC: GINER INC Topic: H4NASA's Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or EMU, is a personal mini-spacecraft that comprises the space suit assembly and life support systems. The current EMU has a manually operated extravehicular visor assembly (EVVA) that provides protection from micrometeoroids and from solar ultraviolet and infrared radiation. For the integration of EVVA with NASA’s next generation space suits helmet bubbl ...

Dehydration Resistant And Dimensionally Stable High Performance Membrane
SBC: GINER INC Topic: H1In several technologies within NASA’s In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) systems, such as fuel cell, water electrolysis and gas/water separations etc., polymeric membranes, especially proton exchange membranes (PEM), play an important role. These membranes are generally hygroscopic, subject to swelling in the presence of humidity or water. When restrained membranes undergo a hydration/dehydrati ...

Data Logger for Measuring Body Dynamics in Spaceflight Environment (MBISE)
SBC: Mide Technology Corporation Topic: H12During dynamic events such as launch, ascent abort, atmospheric reentry, descent, and landing, crewmembers will experience significant inertial and vibrational loading. To this date, data has not been collected in flight. There is particular interest in the chest, neck, and head region, which are exceptionally sensitive areas. Quantifying the loading on the crewmembers will allow refined simula ...
