Public transit is particularly vulnerable to disruption and shocks from pandemics due to the collective nature of its mobility. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new needs to keep all facilities clean for the safety of people at all times. To prevent the spread of coronavirus through transit facilities, keeping surfaces disinfected is incredibly important. The aim of this project is to contribute ...

It is important to consider lithium-ion battery limitations particularly regarding temperature range, to ensure safe and successful mission outcomes. We have developed a gel polymer electrolyte that meets stringent requirements of high safety, stability, and non-flammabilitynbsp;for implantable medical devices and plannbsp;to further developnbsp;this electrolyte for use in cells operating in extre ...

TEAM, Inc. proposes to advance the state of the art of C-C material systems and preforming methods for use in hot structure applications.nbsp; A program with parallel Testing and Process Development tracks is planned:nbsp;Testing Program:The carbon-phenolic material system from Phase I will be replaced with C-C and C-C/SiC matrix in Phase II.nbsp; (densification sub-contractor Exothermics.)nbsp; T ...

NASA has previously developed its 3D-TPS conceptnbsp;which offers superior mass efficiency relative to legacy carbon-phenolic TPS.nbsp; Multiple 3D-TPS recipes developed to date includenbsp;a spun carbon:phenolic yarn constituent.nbsp; Future recipes may require alternate yarn constructionsnbsp;(denier, blend ratios, fiber chemistries, etc.) in order to tailor TPS properties to specific mission re ...

NASA is developing new vehicles for human space flight. Many of these spacecraft are targeted for long-term use, which offers challenges for inspection and maintenance. In orbit or on the Moon or Mars, the use of traditional NDE is prohibitive because of location and inaccessibility, and infrequent inspection can lead to conservative, high-weight designs. NASA is seeking technologies to facilitate ...

With the Artemis program, NASA is returning to manned space flight and plans to send humans to the Moon and Mars in the decades to come. New space vehicles and systems are being developed and tested, and a significant percentage of the structures in these spacecraft will be composite materials. Composites offer high stiffness- and strength-to-weight ratios, but they also exhibit complex damage mod ...

AXIS (Aerial Crossing Inspection System) is an innovative highway-rail grade crossing inspection system that uses UAVs, cloud processing and clustered-computing to perform inspections with unprecedented efficiency. AXIS is an end-to-end solution that preplans inspection flight paths, uses photogrammetry to create a 3D model of the crossing, calculates the crossing’s risk profile and generates de ...

In this Phase II work program, Mission Solutions Group will develop and deliver to USSOCOM a software prototype system for the Platform Agnostic Data Storage Infrastructure (PADSI) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. Our technical solution is designed to provide a common framework for multi-model, multi-layer data storage and import/export control as well as advanced Artificial Inte ...

NASA is developing new spacecraft for human spaceflight. These spacecraft will utilize a variety of material systems, and many of the components are targeted for reusability and long-term use. This offers many challenges, not only for design and manufacturing, but also for inspection and maintenance. For example, inspection of thermal protection systems (TPS), bondlines, or multilayered structures ...
