Atmospheric drag is the biggest source of error and the least predictable perturbing force acting on spacecraft and space debris objects in orbit around Earth. The U.S. Air Force uses the High accuracy satellite drag model (HASDM) to predict the atmospheric drag effects. Kayhan Space in collaboration with the University of Colorado Boulder and Space Environment Technologies seeks to improve the HA ...

The overarching objective of the proposed Phase II is to increase the technology readiness level to enable technology insertion at the conclusion of the Phase II effort. During Phase II, efforts will focus on the optimization of novel adaptive materials enabling future morphing aircraft applications. Composite Technology Development Inc. (CTD) will work with Raytheon Missile Systems and The United ...

The design, fabrication and demonstration of an operational low cost hypersonic vehicle that can be augmented with high temperature composite materials for the structural components and leading edges is paramount to survivability, but presents challenges

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Becoming a mother is a significant transition in a woman's life. This transition can precipitate major changes in health behaviors, like physical activity. Once a woman has a child she is much less likely to participate in regular, moderate to vigorous physical activity compared to women without children. Thus, new mothers are at risk for future weight gain and ...

Eltron Research & Development Inc. and the Southwest Research Institute® will focus on three primary objectives during Phase II of this Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) STTR program, building upon the success realized during Phase I work. First, we will be prepared to transition High Temperature Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (HTVARTM) needed in Phase III, by optimizing and ...

Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg (MARV) viruses belong to the Filoviridae family and can cause fatal hemorrhagic fevers characterized by widespread tissue destruction after an incubation period of 4-14 days. Due to safety concerns, these viruses are designated as biosafety level 4 agents. Currently, there is no effective vaccine or therapeutic treatment for filoviral infections in humans. Africa has recen ...
