Advanced Epitaxial Lift-Off Quantum Dot Photovoltaic Devices
SBC: MICROLINK DEVICES INC Topic: T301We propose to develop a high-efficiency, triple-junction, epitaxial lift-off (ELO) solar cell by incorporating quantum dots (QDs) within the current-limiting subcell. We intend to leverage existing QD epitaxy processes developed by the Rochester Institute of Technology and combine this with MicroLink's expertise in multi-junction cell growth and ELO technology. We will employ QDs to enhance ...

Infrared Microspectrometer based on MEOMS Lamellar Grating Interferometer
SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: T401Infrared spectroscopy is an invaluable detection and measurement tool intensively used in Earth Science, Solar Physics and Astrophysics experiments pursued from satellite platforms. The geometrical characteristics and sensitivity of satellite infrared spectroscopy systems is often determined or limited by their optical elements. Improvements in optical components allow one to reduce the mass and i ...

Energy Efficient LED Spectrally Matched Smart Lighting
SBC: INNOVATIVE IMAGING & RESEARCH CORP Topic: T1002Innovative Imaging and Research has teamed with the University of Southern Mississippi to develop a novel energy efficient smart light system. Smart lighting adds an occupancy sensor, photosensor, controller, and dimming unit to a light source and has been shown to save up to 50% of the energy required to power traditional lighting in existing buildings and up to 35% in new construction. Our novel ...

Advanced Flow Analysis Tools for Transient Solid Rocket Motor Simulations
SBC: Tetra Research Corporation Topic: T901The goals of reducing total cost and increasing reliability and safety of access to space continue to be top priorities for NASA. The most immediate propulsion launch challenge involves increasing lift weight from 70 to 130 metric tons by developing the heavy lift Space Launch System (SLS). Solid rocket motor analysis tools are needed to simulate ignition and propellant recession during the burn ...

Scalable Parallel Algorithms for Formal Verification of Software
SBC: ARIES DESIGN AUTOMATION, LLC Topic: A120We will develop a prototype of a GPU-based parallel Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) software package. BDDs are a data structure that satisfies some simple restrictions, resulting in a unique representation of a Boolean function regardless of its actual implementation. This property of BDDs allows the efficient solution of many problems. The proposed tool will exploit multi-core CPUs and the thousand ...

Temperature, Heat Flux and Recession Sensing for Ablative Thermal Protection Systems
SBC: INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INC Topic: X901Although significant advances have been made in ground-based testing and simulations, it is still impossible to precisely replicate the diversity of in-flight conditions experienced by ablative thermal protection systems (TPS). This leads to uncertainty in the predictions of the magnitude and rate of TPS ablation. Because in-flight monitoring is difficult, the uncertainty in actual boundary cond ...

Prototype-Technology Evaluator and Research Aircraft (PTERA) Flight Test Assessment
SBC: Area I, Inc. Topic: A402The Area-I team has developed and fabricated the unmanned Prototype-Technology Evaluation and Research Aircraft or PTERA ("ptera" being Greek for wing, or wing-like). The PTERA is an extremely versatile and high-quality, yet inexpensive flight research testbed that serves as a bridge between wind tunnel and manned flight testing by enabling the low-cost, low-risk flight-based evaluation of a wide ...

High-Volume Production of Lightweight, Multi-Junction Solar Cells Using 6-inch GaAs
SBC: MICROLINK DEVICES INC Topic: X804Very large solar arrays to power future solar electric propulsion systems will require a new generation of solar cells that are not only high efficiency, but also light weight and significantly lower cost than existing multijunction solar cells based on Ge substrates. The large volume of solar cells required for individual missions (hundreds of kilowatts to megawatts) also presents significant man ...
