Under a changing technological and economic environment, there is growing interest in implementing future NASA missions as Distributed Spacecraft Missions (DSM), particularly as...

Future hybrid aircraft, such as NASA’s N3-X plan, will require all-superconducting electric motors and generators in order to achieve power density in excess of 10 kW/kg. Unlike...

Raman spectroscopy can positively identify organic molecules, biomarkers, biominerals, water, water containing minerals, and minerals that are of high interest to NASA and...

Modern aircraft systems have slowly evolved towards integrated modular computing architectures that are linked to multiple external networks. These developments have introduced...

We propose to continue our successful program for the development of breakthrough readout technology for low-temperature detectors. The next generation of larger arrays requires...

Invocon's Health Interrogation for Space Structures (HISS) system provides a significant improvement over current alternatives for monitoring pressurized space structures for...

The scientific goals of the proposed research are to develop the most comprehensive model thus far for planetesimals bombardment during the Hadean eon (ca. 3.9-4.5 Gyr ago), and...

Wideband Autonomous Cognitive Radios (WACRs) are advanced radios that have the ability to sense state of the RF spectrum and the network and self-optimize its operating mode in...

Active SOS water quality sample sites within the Upper Holston River watershed.

Pancopia proposes development of a system with the capability to remove high levels of organic carbon and nitrogen from wastewater, capable of preservation for a year, and which...

The Liquid Sorption Pump (LSP) is a new technology for acquiring CO2 from the Martian atmosphere for use in In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) systems. In the LSP, propanol is...

Upside-down Biospheres and the Remote Detectability of Life on Reducing Planets Research Scope and Motivation - The astrobiology community is currently on the verge of the first...

This work will focus on the development of a highly capable avionics subsystem and machine learning algorithms to provide early warning of potential failures of critical...

Use AMPB’s laboratory-scale rolling mill to simulate the dynamic conditions associated with metallic structure forming and fabrication methods. Use aerospace aluminum alloys and...

Due to its high elastic modulus, low density, low thermal expansion, and high thermal conductivity, silicon carbide is an ideal material for many demanding space applications....

Here we propose the "Reflight of the Stratospheric TeraHertz Observatory: STO-2". STO-2 will address a key problem in modern astrophysics, understanding the Life Cycle of the...

Generation Orbit (GO) is developing a sub-orbital system to enable rapid and inexpensive hypersonic flight regime test capabilities. To keep the cost of their launch system low,...

A key component to solving many engineering challenges of UAS integration into the National Airspace System is the ability to state the numbers of forecasted UAS by airframe and...
