We propose a high-impact innovation for weather forecasting that integrates global ensemble weather forecasts with an AI-driven post-processing model of extreme weather indices. This innovation will provide the basis for skillful probabilistic forecasts of compound extreme weather events at extended lead times. Extreme weather/climate events of relevance to electric utilities focused on in Phase I ...

Herein, PSI propose a system-on-chip (SoC) solution for an entangled photon pair source (EPPS) based on thin-film lithium niobate on insulator (TFLNOI) photonic integrated circuits (PIC). Using integrated photonic devices such as fiber coupler, waveguide, modulator, splitter/combiner and micro-ring, the proposed EPPS can generate and process the entangled photons with high efficiency and speed. In ...

New textile and material solutions are needed to withstand the challenging environments that will be encountered during extended duration Lunar exploration missions. We propose a novel textile technology for environmental protection garment (EPG) outer layers that leverages space-proven materials together with a novel sintered powder textile surface modification process to impart superior dust res ...

To address NASArsquo;s need for advanced model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methods and tools that integrate digital engineering and science activities across the entirety of the mission and program life cycle, Orbital Transports proposes to develop AI for Systems Engineering (AISE), an innovative digital design assistant to provide semantic search and classification of systems design work pro ...

This Phase I investigation is focused on demonstration of both capacitors and inductors based on an innovative micron-scale thick high temperature stable dielectric film (Cerablakreg; UTF) deposited on suitable metal substrates to form MIM capacitors or coating on metal wire to form inductors on an insulating core material.nbsp;nbsp; Cerablakreg; UTF is a transparent ultra-thin film with excellent ...

In order to support NASArsquo;s ability to land humans and support a sustainable presence on the Moon, AMSENG has prepared a Invited Sequential Phase II Proposal for the white paper (2023-1-94-W) with aim to facilitate rapid technology maturation development and assist in its insertion and to infuse key technologies to advance the objectives of the Moon to Mars campaign.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nb ...

Hinetics performed a detailed study in Phase I to evaluate the integration of a lightweight, high efficiency 150 kW generator-drive subsystem within the SUSAN concept aircraft. Analysis on potential subsystem and system level integration strategies ensured stability and reliability were maintained across all operating conditions of the propulsion system and while maximizing the system level perfor ...

In Phase I, Meroxa proposes to demonstrate the technical feasibility of building accessible tooling and connectors (proof of concept) for NASA to move space weather data, regardless of format and location, to any destination in the format required and in real-time.

Radioisotope power systems (RPSs) including thermoelectric systems are proven technologies for long-term power generation in distant, dark, and/or dusty environments where solar power is not viable. Despite significant advancements in thermoelectric (TE) material technology, modern TE systems rely on legacy TE technologies due to shortcomings in systems-integration and reliability of improved TE m ...

The Solar Powered Rocket with Impulsive Thermal Engine (SPRITE) combines the high performance of a nuclear thermal rocket with the simplicity of solar thermal propulsion. The system operates by collecting solar power and storing energy in a high temperature phase change material. This allows the SPRITE to minimize solar collector area by gathering energy over a period of time and releasing it quic ...
