| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | IN-SITU ELECTROSPRAY CAPTURE OF ORGANIC BEARING PARTICULATES FROM COMETS AND CELESTIAL BODIES | — | $733,262 | Feb 15, 2022 | Aug 14, 2019 – Feb 15, 2022 |
| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | THIS PROPOSAL EVOLVED AS A RESULT OF A CONVERSATION WITH A NASA SCIENTIST REGARDING PLANS FOR A MISSION TO ONE OF SEVERAL ICY MOONS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM TO SEEK SIGNS OF LIFE BASED ON OBSERVED WATER PLUME EMISSIONS. IN PREPARATION FOR SUCH A MISSION, SPACECRAFT WILL HAVE TO PASS THROUGH CLOUDS OF ICE PARTICULATES, WHICH WILL POSE CHALLANGES IN ORGANIC SPECIES COLLECTION, AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO INSTRUMENTS. ACCORDINGLY, THERE IS A NEED FOR SIMULATING THE PRODUCTION OF HYPER VELOCITY ICE IN THE SIZE RANGE OF 50NM THROUGH 2 MICRONS. THE NASA AMES VERTICAL GUN RANGE WAS DESIGNED TO PROPELL SOLID PROJECTILES FOR STUDYING THE EFFECTS OF METEORITE IMPACTS ON CELESTIAL BODIES AND POTENTIAL MICRO-METEOROID DAMAGE TO SPACECRAFT. AT THE FAR END OF THE BARREL, A GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION IS USED TO COMPRESS HYDROGEN GAS TO AS MUCH AS 1 MILLION TIMES ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, FIRING A PROJECTILE PELLET AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 7,000 AND 15,000 MPH . THIS APPROACH IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ICE PARTICLES, SO WE HAVE DEVELOPED A NOVEL ICE GUN USING ELECTROSPRAYS THAT CAN ACHIEVE A HYPER VELOCITY NET RESULT WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THE SAMPLE GRAIN. | — | $749,019 | Dec 21, 2021 | Apr 19, 2018 – Dec 30, 2021 |
