Studies in ground-based analogs of Isolated and Confined Environments (ICE) have identified sensory monotony and social isolation as threats to crew psychological well-being. Further, the lack of real-time communications in future missions will impact crew interactions with their support systems, i.e. family, friends, and colleagues, are critical. ANSIBLE (A Network of Social Interactions for Bi ...

NASA has identified a clear and pressing need for education of both local decision makers and the local flying and nonflying public to enable AAM operations to commence in a timely manner. The goal of this research effort is to develop a robust and cost-conscious capability to support local organizations and local decision makers with materials that support community education, engagement, and out ...

Based on the successful results of the Phase I project, Ozark IC will develop a prototype multi-chip package for high-temperature, high-density electronic systems. Ozark IC will create a 500°C RISC-V multi-chip system in package as a vehicle to illustrate the design procedures, the multi-chip package and the high-temperature components that go into creating a high-temperature electronic system.nb ...

NASA has invested significant time and money in developing high-temperature technologies for Venus surface exploration. Due to the harsh environment outside an insulated lander body (~462deg;C, 92 bar pressure, CO2 atmosphere), conventional, high-TRL components and materials will not survive, even for a short duration mission lasting only a few hours.To meet this need, Ozark IC has worked with NAS ...

It has been widely received that the recent success of artificial intelligence (AI) is built on three cornerstones: the advance of algorithms, the acquisition of big data, and the availability of high computing power. To further improve the data processing capability and efficiency, researchers, in general, explore from three orthogonal and complementary aspects: algorithm simplification and compr ...

Lightweight portable biometrics tools are needed to accurately and rapidly screen and manage the identities if individuals at the scene of an incident. Such tools are preferably not dependent on local infrastructure, which may be compromised, and should operate in both land and maritime environments. The output of this phase II project will be a prototype portable biometrics screening device.

The Stakeholder Access to Embedded System Models (SAESM) project will leverage Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Spacecraft Onboard Interface Services standard Electronic Data Sheet (SEDS) as a bridge to a vendor neutral model-based systems engineering (MBSE) analysis environment. SAESM supports generation of SEDS from existing models, e.g., models written in System Modeling La ...

FRIGATE (Failure Recovery Instruction Generation using Automata derived from Traditional Engineering models) is a Fault Management Design Tool that validates, updates, and generates failure recovery plans and translates them back into the source model format for verification.nbsp; FRIGATE uses a formal methods analysis approach that aids engineers in discovering failure recovery plans that may be ...

SIFT proposes to design and develop the Marshal system, a mixed-initiative tool for maintaining task models over the course of evolving missions. SIFT will demonstrate Marshal by developing it as a plugin for the TRACLabs PRIDE procedure authoring system. A Marshal-enabled PRIDE will learn and maintain task models so that it can improve the consistency and correctness of PRL-based procedures. Ma ...

There are a number of critical telemetry measurements to be monitored under continuous field operation, including temperature data across the reactor chamber and the nozzle, pressure data, neutron flux density and flow rate of the propellant. Real-time monitoring of this data in nuclear thermal engines would greatly improve operational safety and performance, reduce operational costs, and signific ...
