GTLrsquo;s breakthrough ultra-lightweight composite dewar-tank technology is game changing by providing hydrogen weight fractions in excess of 59% for small tanks, with over 70% achievable with medium scale LH2 tanks, including vacuum insulation. This capability addresses a critical need in the conversion of single-aisle aircraft from Jet-A to liquid hydrogen to eliminate carbon emissions. With GT ...

Ultrasonic Technology Solutions (UTS) is based in Knoxville, Tennessee, and formed as a spin-off start-up from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is proposing to develop an ultra-fastnbsp;ultrasonic washing and dryer combination for space applications.NASArsquo;s Life Support and Habitation Systems Focus Area seeks key capabilities and technology solutions that enable extended human presence in ...

A radiation-resistant and superhard material for dust-resistant mechanical bearing applications on the lunar surface will be tested and demonstrated under this project.nbsp; This highly incompressible ceramic material is able to be formed into intricate bearing geometries directly from powder to create dense, hard, geometrically precise, and wear-resistant bearing surfaces.nbsp; This new material ...

Amalgamated Vision (AV) is an engineering company designing optics for head mounted display (HMD). AVrsquo;s optical engine is intended to be an OEM component that is vendor and content agnostic. It can be integrated into the electromechanics of any HMD for a user experience that avoids the common visual and physical impairments associated with current HMD systems. Based on laser beam scanning, vi ...

NASArsquo;s Life Support and Habitation Systems Focus Area seek key capabilities and technology solutions that enable extended human presence in deep space and on planetary surfaces such as the moon and Mars, including Orion, ISS, Gateway, Artemis, and Human Landing Systems. One of the critical technological gaps listed includes clothing washer/dryer combinationnbsp;for use on the moon (1/6g) or M ...

Ground based and airborne infrared astronomy is limited by atmosphere and telescope heat. These systems require a cold helium cooling of the instruments with a dewar for cryogen storage. Given the limited lift capability of a scientific balloon, the dewar mass is of critical importance. For structural, low mass flight applications, carbon fiber is a clear winner. GTL has developed BHLtrade;, a mic ...

In this phase I effort a design for a gas generation system architecture tailored for RCS gas accumulators on lander vehicles with ultra-low mass and thermal mass BHL components will be produced and PDR for the system will be conducted. GTL will modify its existing gas generation system for demonstration and component comparison testing. GTL will study the validity and applicability to lander syst ...

The project addresses the development of predictive maintenance software for municipal transportation buses in the USA. The research stems from Preteckt’s previous success in developing and commercially deploying similar technology to over-the-road trucking fleets. Success in this project will determine the ideal target bus subsystems to develop predictive maintenance software for when looking a ...
