Lindash;S/Li-O2 batteries have great potential to meet requirements of energy storage systems for Electrified Aircraft propulsion applications. However, due to the need for oxygen gas storage and supply systems, the complicit balance of plant significantly decreases both gravimetric and volumetric energy density of Li-O2 battery systems. Li-S battery with a theoretical specific energy of 2600 Wh/k ...

bluShift Aerospace is developing fully modular hybrid rocket motors, referred to as MAREVLs (Modular Adaptable Rocket Engine for Vehicle Launch). Having a modular hybrid rocket motor will allow bluShift and other organizations to rapidly develop various launch vehicles for a micro satellite (CubeSat) launch fleet. There are two innovative fundamental ideas behind bluShiftrsquo;s MAREVL: Modularity ...

Maintaining consistent information flow between abstraction layers, from sensing to cognition, to ensure consistent decision-making is difficult. We are proposing an entirely new data structure, based on hypergraphs, to solve this problem. These hypergraph data structures will be developed in a domain specific language known as NodeLab and serve as a unified knowledge representation that can accep ...

We have built our existing Freedom Platform as a cloud based SAAS system with one main goal: simplicity. Every feature we add is driving towards a vision of reducing the complexity of ground system operations and access. nbsp;We propose a technical solution that removes much of the constellation planning daily grind from the customer so they can concentrate on exploiting their data. The end result ...

NASA uses a variety of tools to conduct its FM activities. However, these tools are varied and disjoint, and require manual intervention to transfer data from the output of one tool to the input of another. This process is tedious, error-prone and scales poorly for large, complex systems. In addition, these tools are often ldquo;silorsquo;edrdquo; to the singular functionality for which they were ...

DornerWorks is seeking to enhance the capabilities and ecosystem of the open source Xen Project hypervisor, targeting full integration with the High Performance Space Computing (HPSC) platformrsquo;s High Performance Processing Subsystem (HPPS) through this project. There will be several tangible benefits stemming from this Phase I project.nbsp;This project will show the Xen Project hypervisor to ...

Storagenergy Technologies Inc. proposes a novel high energy all solid-state Li-S battery (ASSLSB). If successful, the proposed high energy battery systems will enable high power/energy storage for future science and exploration missions and offer benefits to other national needs.

The purpose of this project is to develop and demonstrate an S-band communication radio capable of operation at extreme high temperatures and pressures in hostile and corrosive environments.nbsp; This directly addresses NASArsquo;s interest in expanding the ability to explore the deep atmospheres and surfaces of the Moon, planets, asteroids, and comets through the use of long-lived (days or weeks) ...

Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) proposes to develop a Primary Fuel Cell (PFC) System that will meet NASArsquo;s lunar mission target specifications of (i) high specific power (gt;2,000 W/kg), (ii) high current density (gt;200 mA/cm2), (iii) long service life (a final operational life of gt;10,000 hrs is targeted), and (iv) operability with H2/O2, CH4/O2, and other propellants.nbsp; The PFC system ...

Deep space human exploration missions present a number of challenges. The distance from Earth makes communication less reliable and mission management more complex, and places a greater burden on human crews. Managing the complexity of the various onboard systems, processes, and resources, including health systems, payloads, etc., will present new kinds of crew challenges and stresses not experien ...
