Modular EP Diagnostic Instrumentation Cluster (MEDIC)
SBC: MSNW LLC Topic: AF161004ABSTRACT: The Modular EP Diagnostic Instrumentation Cluster (MEDIC) is a self-contained plasma diagnostic instrument suite uniquely suited to the task of characterizing and comparing thruster operation in ground test and on-orbit environments. Of paramount importance to the qualification of electric propulsion (EP) systems is the measurable influence of the ground testing and evaluation (T&E) faci ...

Time-Resolved Electron Beam Fluorescence
SBC: MSNW LLC Topic: AF161006ABSTRACT: An innovative diagnostic, Time-Resolved Electron Beam Fluorescence (TREBF), will be developed that possesses the measurement capabilities needed to understand test facility effects on electric propulsion (EP) systems. Even the most advanced test and evaluation vacuum chambers are incapable of replicating the pressures encountered in geostationary earth orbits. These elevated background p ...

Electric-based Combined Cycle Thruster for Multi-mode Propulsion
SBC: MSNW LLC Topic: AF162010The Electric-Based Combined Cycle (EBCC) thruster is a new approach to spacecraft propulsion that combines the high thrust of a chemical combustion system and the high Isp of an electric propulsion thruster into a single thruster. In EBCC, a chemical propellant is burned in a sub-100 N rocket within a pulsed EP system. That decomposed, hot, neutral gas is then accelerated in a 5kWclass neutral ent ...

Instrumentation for carbon-carbon structures in extreme environments
SBC: Exo-Atmospheric Technologies LLC Topic: AF171020An integrated measurement sensor for carbon-carbon (C-C) structures is needed for testing in arc jet facilities to meet testing needs for current and future hypersonic flight systems. A commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) high frequency response pressure sensor and a fabricated temperature, heat flux, and recession sensor built directly into a C-C substrate will be integrated into a test article for ...

NDI Tool for Heat Damage Detection in Composites
SBC: Veritox Topic: AF161121The incipient thermal damage (ITD) of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites cannot be detected by common nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods, such as ultrasound or visual inspection. ITD, however, can reduce matrix dominated mechanical properties of composites and, thus, requires detection and evaluation to ensure the integrity of composite structures that might be subjected to the ...

High Performance Low Integration Cost Magnetometer System
SBC: LEE, JENNA Topic: AF083218An innovative data collection and analysis approach is proposed to enable body mount magnetometers for space application. In order to achieve high accurate magnetic field measurement in space, the magnetometer has to be located in a âmagnetically cleanâ place, where the magnetic field from spacecraft is negligible. Usually, the magnetometers are placed on deployable booms, so that the field sens ...
