Ultra-High Density Ion Propulsion From Ionic Liquids
SBC: BUSEK CO., INC. Topic: AF11BT10ABSTRACT: Busek Co. Inc. and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) propose to explore the physical limits of ionic liquid propulsion via development of new theory to explain effects of close packing emission density and to predict performance limits. The research is motivated by observations and tests demonstrating that emission from 2-dimensional porous surfaces yields order of magnitude g ...

Transition to the Next Generation High Power Phased Array Transceivers
SBC: G. A. Tyler Associates, Inc. Topic: AF12BT13ABSTRACT: Given the results obtained in the Phase I effort, we are now in a position to advance to the next generation of High Power Phased Array Transceiver Systems. The new approach proposed here is to use enough elements in the phased array to ensure that significant wavefront compensation performance can be obtained with only piston commands. A system of this nature can be developed in two ...
