DoSEN is an early-stage space technology research project with the sole objective of developing the concept and demonstrating the proof-of-principle of a space radiation...

The Precision Formation Alignment Navigation System, or pFANtASY, is an integrated guidance and navigation subsystem for the acquisition and fine alignment of a dual spacecraft...

Future large astronomical space telescopes will likely be segmented and centrally obscured. Our team will develop and demonstrate an accurate and efficient approach to measure...

Large-area (3m2), UV-sensitive focal plane arrays are needed for observation of air showers from ultra-high energy cosmic rays (JEM-EUSO) as well as for visible-wavelength...

<p> Particle acceleration in solar flares and its contribution to coronal heating are among the main&nbsp; unsolved problems in heliophysics. Accelerated electrons in...

Scientific goals and objectives A central goal of our research is achieving a deeper understanding of the unusual sulfide-based assimilatory sulfur metabolism that is found...

<p>Q-thruster technology is a mission enabling form of electric propulsion and is already being traded by NASA&#39;s Concept Architecture Team (CAT) &amp; Human...

I propose to investigate the newly discovered oscillation modes specific to Magnetically Shied (MS) Hall Effect Thrusters (HET). Although HETs are classified as a Stationary...

The antenna system on a small satellite is a critical component, as a failure of the antenna can lead to mission failure. Present antenna systems are typically wire “whip”...

The Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation (IC2) proposes to develop dual-axis shear stress sensors that are applicable in ground test facilities covering a large range of...

Ultrasonic guided waves are being used as a NDE/SHM technique to detect flaws and damage in fracture critical structures such as aerospace structures. However, due to the...

Imaging and characterize Earth-like planets requires the ability to block 1010 of the host star’s light with a 10-11 stability. For an internal coronagraph, this requires...

Gravitational waves are on the brink of discovery all across the frequency spectrum. The Advanced LIGO network will be starting science operations to cover frequencies above 10...

NASA’s earlier cooperative efforts with the Department of Defense (DOD) and industry have shown some promising alternatives for specific applications and substrates, but...

The Reaction Sphere seeks to provide an advancement over traditional reaction wheels by utilizing a new method of 3 axis attitude control and fine pointing using a lighter and...

I propose to use ultraviolet spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to study both the structure of AGN themselves as well as the intergalactic medium (IGM), which is seen as...

X-ray measurements are critical for the understanding of cycles of matter and energy in the Universe, for understanding the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and for...

Thin-ply composites are being considered by NASA for space exploration applications, where the suppression of microcracks could give rise to linerless cryogenic tanks. In this...

ALPO is an effort to develop an airborne science instrument pod utilizing an advanced integration concept that minimizes structural impacts to the host aircraft. This proof of...
