Assembly of Large Aperture Space Telescopes in Cislunar Space Using a Swarm of Autonomous Small Satellites
SBC: TEN ONE AEROSPACE LLC Topic: T10NASA and industry are expressing a growing interest in autonomous robotic in-space assembly and servicing of large aperture space telescopes in cislunar space and at Sun-Earth L2 (SEL2). The recently launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will operate at SEL2 for about 5-10 years until fuel for station keeping and attitude maneuvers is depleted. At this point JWST will essentially become inope ...

Planetary-Scale Surface Feature Detection and Mapping for Future Exploration Missions
SBC: New Rights Group, Inc. Topic: T4Accurate navigation is a crucial part of both robotic and crewed exploration of other worlds. For missions to the surfaces of Mars and the Moon, mission planners will require increasingly autonomous guidance systems that support fast, efficient, and agile surface route planning. These navigation systems will rely on access to accurate and regularly updated maps of surface landmarks. In a recent pi ...

Holomorphic Embedding for Loadflow Integration of Operational Thermal and Electric Reliable Procedural Systems
SBC: EleQuant Knowledge Innovation Data Science LLC Topic: T3This sound, low risk and exciting proposal aims at developing technology for the fundamental accurate modeling and data processing needs of future autonomous operation and system design within the paradigm of the digital twin. Truly autonomous operation of power systems (e.g. turbo-electric distributed propulsion aircrafts) cannot be scripted. An intelligent system capable of self-healing and mana ...

Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing of a deep throttling methane injector.
SBC: T.G.V. ROCKETS INC. Topic: T9Design and manufacture of a Liquid fuel injector optimized for Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing. UAM delivers aerospace parts today at 97% of bulk material property and foil laydown rates at speeds significantly better then powder or filament process. UAM has traditionally been applied to 2-D planar surfaces. We will extend UAM into complex geometries and constructs suitable for rocket engine inj ...

Low Cost Intermediate Stage for Affordable Nano/Micro Launch
SBC: T.G.V. ROCKETS INC. Topic: T101NASA is extremely interested in developing small space launch capability. Small launchers are more sensitive to dry mass growth, more so then larger vehicles. Three stage launchers tend to be much more insensitive to Dry mass growth. The challenge then becomes how to meet strict cost targets when additional parts count increases. Use of Propane derived fuel helps reduce cost by allowing common b ...

Holomorphic Embedding for Loadflow Integration of Operational Thermal and Electric Reliable Procedural Systems
SBC: EleQuant Knowledge Innovation Data Science LLC Topic: T302This sound, low risk proposal aims at developing technology for the fundamental modeling and data processing needs of future autonomous operation. It addresses problems of early anomaly and fault detection in PMAD systems, adopting a larger scope by also including the thermal system. Truly autonomous operation of large power systems (e.g. ISS) cannot be scripted. In the quest to replace expert hum ...

Low Cost Upper Stage for Affordable Nano/Micro Launch
SBC: T.G.V. ROCKETS INC. Topic: T101TGV Rockets, Inc., in partnership with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, proposes to develop a unique Low-Cost Upper Stage for Affordable Nano/Micro Launch. The stage will make use of a novel eutectic fuel blend that is thermally compatible with liquid-oxygen, unique low-cost lightweight avionics, and simple common-wall tanks. The projected production cost of the completed upper stage is a ...

Plume Diagnostics for Combustion Stability
SBC: SIERRA ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: T901Sierra Engineering Inc. and Purdue University propose to develop a non-intrusive plume instrument capable of detecting and diagnosing combustion instability. This Stability Diagnostic System (SDS) will be designed, assembled, and tested during this effort. The SDS will include a high-speed video camera and multiple photodiode detectors for observing the plume. It will also include a software pa ...

Plume Diagnostics for Combustion Stability
SBC: SIERRA ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: T901Sierra Engineering and Purdue University propose to leverage combustion stability testing, already funded and planned for the second and third quarters of next year at Purdue, by developing a non-intrusive plume instrument capable of detecting combustion instability and testing it during combustor firings. Purdue has previously created the combustor and demonstrated unstable combustion operation. ...

Affordable High Power Density Engine Designs for Personal Air Vehicles
SBC: GSE INC Topic: N/ANext generation General Aviation (GA) Sport Class air vehicles limited to 1200lbs, represent the first opportunity to overhaul the FAA certification process necessary to manufacture affordable aircraft. With propulsion representing over one-third of the direct manufacturing costs of the entire aircraft, dramatic reductions in aircraft engine costs must be achieved by design, economy of scale, and ...
