The Integrated Computational Environment for Airbreathing Hypersonic Flight Vehicle Modeling and Design Evaluation
SBC: Advanced Engineering Solutions Topic: T201An integrated computational environment for multidisciplinary, physics-based simulation and analyses of airbreathing hypersonic flight vehicles will be developed. These vehicles are among the most promising alternatives for the next generation of Highly Reliable Reusable Launch Systems (HRRLS). The proposed work will enable development of models with varying fidelity, incorporating the coupled dyn ...

Modified Collins Cryocooler for Cryo-Propellant Thermal Management
SBC: Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc. Topic: T402Future lunar and planetary explorations will require the storage of cryogenic propellants, particularly liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid hydrogen (LH2), in low earth orbit (LEO) for periods of time ranging from days to months, and possibly longer. LEO is a relatively warm thermal environment and without careful thermal management, significant quantities of stored liquid cryogens can be lost due to ...

Control Suite and Teleoperator Interface for Whole-Body Mobile Manipulators
SBC: digitROBOTICS, LLC Topic: T502Robots that can move about in terrestrial environments and manipulate large and small objects serve a critical role in NASA's Moon/Mars initiative. Such systems will need to serve as precursors to human missions, collaborate with humans on-site, and carry on when humans have departed. This proposal concerns a control suite and teleoperator interface for whole-body mobile manipulators (WBMMs). W ...

Optical Downconverting Nanomaterials for Enhanced Photovoltaic Efficiency
SBC: EIC LABORATORIES, INC. Topic: T301For photovoltaic cells used to power space missions, such as those based on silicon, CuInGaSe2, and III-V materials, optical-to-electrical conversion efficiency is reduced by at least 25% because the energy of solar photons in excess of the band gap of the semiconductor absorber is lost. The excess photon energy is converted to heat. In addition, the quantum efficiencies of solar cells tend to deg ...

A Reusable, Oxidizer-Cooled, Hybrid Aerospike Rocket Motor for Flight Test
SBC: ROLLING HILLS RESEARCH CORP Topic: T202The proposed innovation is to use the refrigerant capabilities of nitrous oxide (N2O) to provide the cooling required for reusable operation of an aerospike nozzle in conjunction with an N2O-HTPB hybrid rocket motor. The phase change cooling as liquid N2O is flashed into a vapor is crucial to limiting to acceptable levels the erosion of both the nozzle throat and spike, thereby enabling reusabl ...

Low Erosion Ceramic Composite Liners for Improved Performance of Ablative Rocket Thrust Chambers
SBC: Hyper-Therm High-Temperature Composites Topic: T801Advanced liquid rocket propulsion systems must achieve longer burn times without performance degradation to allow the lowest cost per kilogram access to space. Ablative thrust chambers have an extensive heritage and are the low cost approach to fabricating rocket thrust chambers. However, composite ablative chambers suffer from erosion that typically limits performance of the engine in terms of bu ...

Process-Hardened, Multi-Analyte Sensor for Characterizing Rocket Plum Constituents Under Test Environment
SBC: INNOSENSE CORPORATION Topic: T901This STTR project aims to develop a process-hardened, simple and low cost multi-analyte sensor for detecting components of rocket engine plumes. The sensor will be constructed with materials for operating continuously at 550 OK. It will also withstand temperatures as high as 2100 OK for at least five seconds. NASA roadmaps point towards new hydrocarbon fueled engines. A non-intrusive instrument s ...

Hydroxyl Tagging Velocimetry for Rocket Plumes
SBC: METROLASER, INCORPORATED Topic: T901To address the need for non-intrusive sensors for rocket plume properties, we propose a laser-based velocity diagnostic that does not require seeding, works in high or low temperature flows, and can be used over a broad range of velocities. Hydroxyl tagging velocimetry (HTV) "writes" a line of OH molecules into the flow and interrogates them after a short delay to determine the velocity. Since the ...
