Large Format Uncooled Focal Plane Array
SBC: BFE Acquisition Sub II, LLC Topic: E101Black Forest Engineering has identified innovative modifications in uncooled focal plane array (UFPA) architecture and processing that allows development of large format long wavelength infrared (8-14 ?m) imaging sensors to meet future NASA system requirements for a light weight, low power, and radiation tolerant imager. These modifications allow development of bolometer-based large format UFPA, w ...

Three Phase Resonant DC Power Converter for Ion Thrusters
SBC: COLORADO ELECTRONICS INC Topic: F101Our phase 1 study has revealed many significant benefits of a new class of DC-to-DC power converters with performance that cannot be matched by current flight power systems. The goal of low stored energy has been demonstrated while producing a record-breaking efficiency of 95.5%. This new converter claims this remarkable accomplishment not at just one full power point but at two distinct points. ...

Automated Computational Fluid Dynamics Design With Shape Optimization
SBC: Optimal Solutions Software, LLC Topic: A405Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used as an analysis tool to help the designer gain greater understanding of the fluid flow phenomena involved in the components being designed. The next step in the design process is to modify the design to improve the components performance, typically performed manually by the designer in a trial and error fashion. The innovations proposed herein will provide ...

Cryogenic Cooling System for Zero-Venting Storage of Supercritical Air Packs
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: F302Supercritical air at cryogenic temperature is an attractive source of breathing air because of its very high density and low pressure. However, heat leak into the cryogenic tank causes the stored air to expand and vent, thus limiting the storage life of a charged system. We propose to develop a storage system for supercritical air packs that provides cryogenic cooling that will enable long-term ...

Thermal Management of Superconducting Electromagnets in VASIMR Thrusters
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: F701The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) engine currently being developed at NASA Johnson is an attractive technology for minimizing transit time and crew harm during future space exploration missions. One of the critical challenges in developing a flight engine is thermal management of the high-temperature, superconducting electromagnets used to constrain and accelerate the pl ...

Lightweight, High-Temperature Radiator Panels
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: F309Lightweight, high-temperature radiators are needed for future, high-efficiency power conversion systems for Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP). Creare has developed flexible radiators that are extremely lightweight, stowable in small volumes, and deployable with small forces, but are limited by materials to temperatures below 350 K. These novel radiators incorporate integral micrometeorite protect ...

Rugged Low Temperature Actuators for Tunable Fabry Perot Optical Filters
SBC: PERDIX, INC. Topic: E101Why are rugged, low temperature actuator materials important? By themselves, they are useless; however, when fabricated into thin films and integrated into optical devices that require movement of optical surfaces for functionality, they extend the device operational envelope into temperature and environmental extremes not previously accessible. The actuator media also serves as a compliant adhesi ...

Mars Aqueous Processing System
SBC: PIONEER ASTRONAUTICS Topic: F201The Mars Aqueous Processing System (MAPS) is a novel technology for recovering oxygen, iron, and other constituents from lunar and Mars soils. The closed-loop process selectively extracts and then recovers constituents from soils using acids and bases. The emphasis on Mars is production of useful materials such as iron, silica, alumina, magnesia, and concrete with recovery of oxygen as a byproduct ...

Methods to Remove Coke from Endothermic Heat Exchangers
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: A203In February 2004 NASA released "The Vision for Space Exploration", which describes a strategy for exploring our solar system that builds upon the policy announced by President Bush earlier in the year. The goals of this strategy include extending human presence in the solar system culminating in the exploration of Mars. To accomplish this goal, affordable, new propulsion technologies must be dev ...

Cloud Micro-sensors for Applications on Small UAVs and Balloons
SBC: STRATTON PARK ENGINEERING CO., INC. Topic: E103One of the key areas of study of NASA's Earth Science enterprise is the role played by clouds in climate change. The duration of conventional research aircraft is limited so that long-term measurements required to validate satellite observations are not practical. Small uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs) and tethered balloons, however, are now capable of making sustained, long-term (30 hr) measu ...
