Dynamic Frequency Passive Millemeter-Wave Radiometer Based on Optical Up-Conversion
SBC: PHASE SENSITIVE INNOVATIONS INC Topic: 94Passive microwave sensors aboard satellites provide valuable information regarding weather conditions by measuring atmospheric attenuation over a broad range of frequencies from 0-200 GHz. Additional ground-based sensors are desirable to provide complementary upward looking measurements that can be used to refine existing attenuation models. Operating over such a large bandwidth, however, places ...

Enhanced Membrane System for Recovery of Water from Gas-Liquid Mixtures
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: H303Gas-Liquid separation is an acute microgravity problem. Existing devices use centrifugal motion on microporous membranes to separate the two phases. Centrifugal devices consume electricity and are prone to failure. The microporous membranes easily foul and have significant water loss. Novel membrane devices are proposed. Membranes can simultaneously disengage gases from gas-liquid dispersion and d ...

R3DO: A Plastic Recycling System For Creating 3D Printer Feedstock On-Orbit
SBC: Made In Space, Inc. Topic: H1001An automated in-space recycling system for 3D printer feedstock will provide game-changing resupply benefits including but not limited to launch mass reduction, mission reliability increases, and decreased reliance on resupply from Earth. To bring these benefits to ISS in the near term, Made In Space proposes the further development of their unique recycling system, called R3DO, for transforming ...

A Green, Safe, Dual-Pulse Solid Motor for CubeSat Orbit Changing
SBC: Digital Solid State Propulsion, Inc Topic: S302Small satellites such as CubeSats are in need of responsive propulsion, but are limited due to their size. Though single pulse, AP/HTPB fueled solid rocket motors exist in the market, greater mission flexibility is to be had from a motor with the capability of a second ignition in the same volume constraints. Digital Solid State Propulsion (DSSP) proposes research into the technology to not only t ...

Atomic Interferometry
SBC: Princeton Optronics Topic: S109Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) is a new technology which can be used for developing high performance laser components for atom-based sensors technology. The narrow linewidth of VCSEL emission combined with good polarization extinction ratio and large spacing between the longitudinal modes, which makes them relatively immune to mode hopping, and their high reliability make them un ...

Dynamic Frequency Passive Millimeter-Wave Radiometer Based on Optical Up-Conversion
SBC: PHASE SENSITIVE INNOVATIONS INC Topic: 941DIn the proposed effort, we will leverage this extensive experience and capabilities to realize a frequency agile mmW radiometer that can cover the range of DC-110 GHz and can be scaled to DC-200 GHz under Phase II. Ours is a photonic system that multiplies and up-coverts a low-frequency reference signal onto an optical carrier (laser) using EO modulation, then uses the modulation sidebands to inj ...

Advanced Long-Range Video Capabilities Using Speckle Imaging Techniques
SBC: EM PHOTONICS INC Topic: A402Flight-testing is a crucial component in NASA's mission to research and develop new aeronautical concepts because it allows for verification of simulated and wind-tunnel experiments and exposes previously unforeseen design problems. Video is an invaluable tool for flight-testing, allowing the collection of a wealth of information such as craft position, speed, health, as well as tracking diff ...

Low-Cost Multi-Junction Photovoltaic Cells
SBC: Black Hills Nanosystems Topic: H804The proposed SBIR project will provide a pathway to dramatically reduce the cost of multi-junction solar cells. The project leverages a TRL6 micropackaging process with ~100% yield for cell assembly. Cost savings are critical as space-qualified multi-junction cells render large panel applications prohibitive. The proposed project aims to develop a greatly-simplified manufacturing process that c ...

ISS Additive Manufacturing Facility for On-Demand Fabrication in Space
SBC: Made In Space, Inc. Topic: O302Made in Space has completed a preliminary design review of the Additive Manufacturing Facility. During the first half of Phase 1, the design went through conceptual development, simulation testing, cost analysis, and comparison testing of which off-the-shelf parts can be used. The deliverables for Phase I include a written report detailing evidence of demonstrated technology (TRL 5) in the laborat ...

A High Reliability Frequency Stabilized Semiconductor Laser Source
SBC: Princeton Optronics Topic: S101NASA needs high stability laser source of 1W output power for Lidar applications. Princeton Optronics has developed ultra-stable, narrow linewidth diode pumped solid state lasers using stable packaging and high performance locker. We have also developed high power Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) semiconductor laser sources. We propose to develop a high reliability master oscillator ...
