NDT of Fracture Toughness for Pipeline Steels
SBC: FBS INC Topic: 180PH1NDT of Fracture Toughness for Pipeline Steels3/16/2018Ultrasound-based technology to nondestructively determine fracture toughness of pipeline steels will be developed. Fracture toughness is the material parameter that, along with applied loading and flaw geometry, dictates the critical crack size, and therefore controls the flaw size that must be detected during inspections. A major challenge fac ...

Enhanced Motor Performance via Two-Phase Thermal Management
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: A1Thermal management presents a significant constraint on the achievable efficiency and power density of MW-scale electric motors for aircraft propulsion. High temperatures within the windings limit the maximum power density, reduce the lifetime of the winding insulation, and increase electrical losses lowering efficiency. Innovative thermal management strategies can significantly enhance the perfor ...

Low Mass, High Voltage Cables for Long Distance Lunar Power Distribution
SBC: ASTROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: Z1One of the greatest challenges with large scale power systems is the ability to transmit power over long distances while minimizing inefficiencies and loss. Just as it is on Earth, the most effective method of long-distance lunar power transfer will involve installation of cables for high voltage power transfer. However, unlike Earth, lunar cable installation systems will face extreme environments ...

Additive Insulative Layer for Thermal Protection System
SBC: Bally Ribbon Mills Topic: Z7The Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environmental Technology (HEEET) project started as a solution to the difficult entry temperatures and conditions. Its design is robust for the extreme environments that it needs to survive. HEEET Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) is fabricated with two different layers. The first is a dense carbon layer that is meant to be thermally ablative (forebody) and the seco ...

Continuous Autonomy Runtime Monitoring to Assure Consistent Operational Safety
SBC: NEAR EARTH AUTONOMY, INC Topic: A3Advances in aviation offer significant potential benefits in the transportation of packages and passengers by uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). These aircraft can improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase safety, and provide new capabilities in various industries. However, before uncrewed aircraft can be widely adopted, they must be shown to be safe. New advances in artificial intelligence and rob ...

Autonomous Agent Cognitive Architecture for Spacecraft Operations
SBC: VISIMO LLC Topic: H6Deep-space missions will require spacecraft to overcome unknown problems and unexpected system failures in novel regimes without the support of Earth-based communication or resources. Reliable autonomous systems are needed to assist crew with managing and executing missions, and responding to unanticipated system failures and anomalies, thereby reducing cognitive burden of the crew and time spent ...

Floatinator: A Low Gravity Simulator to Study Plume-Surface Interactions
SBC: ASTROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: Z7Astrobotic proposes the development of ldquo;Floatinator,rdquo; a one-of-its-kind tunable lunar and planetary gravity simulator for terrestrial testing of plume-surface interactions (PSI) and cratering. In its initial lunar configuration, Floatinator will consist of a hot-fire test chamber capable of being dropped at a controlled acceleration of 5/6g, thereby providing a 1/6g gravity reference fra ...

Combined High-Speed, Thermal, and Event Camera Imaging Sensor for Plume-Surface Interactions
SBC: ASTROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: Z7The Plume-Surface Interaction Combined Hot-fire Imaging Camera (PSICHIC) is a novel imaging sensor that will advance the state of plume-surface interaction (PSI) observation by combining the capabilities of a high-speed camera, a thermal camera, and an event camera into a single, compact system designed to be used in stereo. PSICHIC leverages advances in camera technology to study and measure plum ...

Additively Manufactured Ceramic Heat Pipes for Space Nuclear Reactors
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: Z2Nuclear electric propulsion systems provide a variety of benefits including increased science payload, reduced flight times and longer mission lifetimes. These advantages enable a wide range of missions such as manned missions to Mars, unmanned missions to the outer planets and deep-space. The thermal management system linking the reactor to the hot end of the power conversion system must be effic ...

Development of a CO2 Breathing Anthropomorphic Test Device
SBC: X-BIOMEDICAL INC Topic: 23NH1Tragically, 936 children have died in hot cars since 1998. Wisely, NHTSA has prioritized evaluation of sensor systems in vehicles for “the ability to detect unattended children and prevent heat stroke occurrence.”Recently, innovators have developed systems that detect children present in the vehicle by measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) in the vehicle cabin, but there is no test method to assess w ...
