GTLrsquo;s breakthrough ultra-lightweight composite dewar-tank technology is game changing by providing hydrogen weight fractions in excess of 59% for small tanks, with over 70% achievable with medium scale LH2 tanks, including vacuum insulation. This capability addresses a critical need in the conversion of single-aisle aircraft from Jet-A to liquid hydrogen to eliminate carbon emissions. With GT ...

Ultrasonic Technology Solutions (UTS) is based in Knoxville, Tennessee, and formed as a spin-off start-up from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is proposing to develop an ultra-fastnbsp;ultrasonic washing and dryer combination for space applications.NASArsquo;s Life Support and Habitation Systems Focus Area seeks key capabilities and technology solutions that enable extended human presence in ...

The firm proposes to perform studies related to size, weight, power, cost reduction, and ruggedizationnbsp;of a flight-capable, multi-parameter distributed fiber-optic sensing interrogator for testing advanced flight vehicles including those pertaining to NASArsquo;s Integrated Aviation Systems Program (IASP) Flight Demonstrations and Capabilities (FDC) project. The technology will aid understandi ...

A radiation-resistant and superhard material for dust-resistant mechanical bearing applications on the lunar surface will be tested and demonstrated under this project.nbsp; This highly incompressible ceramic material is able to be formed into intricate bearing geometries directly from powder to create dense, hard, geometrically precise, and wear-resistant bearing surfaces.nbsp; This new material ...

Amalgamated Vision (AV) is an engineering company designing optics for head mounted display (HMD). AVrsquo;s optical engine is intended to be an OEM component that is vendor and content agnostic. It can be integrated into the electromechanics of any HMD for a user experience that avoids the common visual and physical impairments associated with current HMD systems. Based on laser beam scanning, vi ...

Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of western wildfires. Threats to people and infrastructure are growing with more population living in the wildland-urban interface. Blindly throwing more resources at the problem while doing things the same way is not a cost-effective. Extending manned and unmanned aerial firefighting to 24-hour, second-shift operations will provide a major i ...

Battery health monitoring is particularly crucial for space applications since battery shutoff or complete drain can be catastrophic. The battery management system (BMS) is vital to avoid such instances. Conventional on-board BMS are currently limited to the monitoring of extrinsic parameters including voltage, current, and temperature. From these, batteryrsquo;s state of charge (SoC) and state of ...

The objective is to develop and implement an S-band communication transmitter/radio capable of operation at extreme high temperatures and pressures in hostile and corrosive environments such as those found on the surface of Venus.nbsp; This extreme environment transmitter/radio will be based on our Phase I prototype 500oC capable S-band power amplifier microwave integrated circuit (MIC) which empl ...

NASArsquo;s Life Support and Habitation Systems Focus Area seek key capabilities and technology solutions that enable extended human presence in deep space and on planetary surfaces such as the moon and Mars, including Orion, ISS, Gateway, Artemis, and Human Landing Systems. One of the critical technological gaps listed includes clothing washer/dryer combinationnbsp;for use on the moon (1/6g) or M ...
