The innovation in this proposed effort is to capitalize on existing knowledge, AME equipment platforms, processes, and working devices to enhance the durability and ruggedness of AME produced products. The extreme temperature variations study and optimization will establish the material and process set to make AME products reliable. We will specifically study the material mismatch between diverse ...

In conventional practice, medical systems requirements for human spaceflight are considered towards the end of the projectrsquo;s space systems engineering phases, leaving little room for the integral medical requirement codification within spacecraft design parameters (NASA ExMC, 2021). As mission character increases in length and remoteness, the level of care and required medical capabilities in ...

nbsp;Hyper realistic digital twin environments are limited to demanding computational requirements of running accurate simulations. More so when these environments are meant to be rendered in real-time for training and XR. In order to address this problem, Buendea in collaboration with the University of Central Floridarsquo;s Institute for Simulation and Training, are proposing the development of ...

The Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation (IC2), in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Microsystems Group at the University of Florida (UF), proposes to develop a wireless instrumentation system, including both data acquisition and sensors, that reduces the high costs and complexity of deployment, use, and maintenance of traditional centralized, wired instrumentation systems, while meetin ...

The objective of this Phase 1 proposal is the Graphical-Processing-Unit (GPU) acceleration of a two-dimensional, unstructured, viscous Navier-Stokes (NS) solver for aerothermodynamic applications. The subject code employs a multi-species two-temperature chemically reacting real gas model and incorporates the exact discrete tangent and adjoint systems for the real-gas system, which has been used fo ...

Current state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods for the fabrication of thermal protection systems (TPS) for spacecraft is costly, labor-intensive, and limited to on-Earth production. To address these shortcomings, Mainstream, in collaboration with the Design, Research, and Education for Additive Manufacturing Systems (DREAMS) lab at Virginia Tech (VT), proposes to develop a large-format additive manufactu ...

Digital assistants represent a set of artificial intelligence capabilities utilizing natural language capabilities that reduce user cognitive burden through task automation and information processing. While digital assistants can be utilized to assist NASA analysts and engineers in performing many different functions (e.g., requirements verification, literature review, Qamp;A), our proposal focuse ...

The team of Design, Analysis and Research Corporation (DARcorporation) and University of Michigan (UM)nbsp; propose an open source Distributed Electric Propulsion MDAO (DEP-MDAO) Tool, in which a new framework for aircraft aeropropulsive design optimization that integrates aircraft sizing, propulsion system sizing and distribution, wing design and propeller design will be developed.nbsp;The core i ...

Phase II will utilize knowledge gained from phase I work to develop and execute a manufacturing process suitable for producing quantities of 3-D printed discrete circuits for radiation detection systems.  The goal is to support mobile radiation detection system requirements for high voltage, analog amplification, and MCA functionality to produce differential pulse height spectra in time sequence. ...

A novel diagnostic system based on the monolithic quantum cascade laser technology is proposed, enabling probing of points across the entire MIR absorption spectrum of CO for optimal temperature sensitivity across the entire 300 – 3000 K range with MHz time resolution. The proposing team has the capability to design QCL structures that provide strong output over the spectral range of interest in ...
