Jul 25, 2018National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER80NSSC18P2185541715PARAGON SPACE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (PARAGON) PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADVANCED CONDENSATE SEPARATOR FOR MICROGRAVITY CONDITIONS (COSMIC). COSMIC IS A FULL FLOW CONDENSATE SEPARATOR DESIGNED TO SEPARATE CONDENSATE FROM AIR EFFECTIVELY AND WITH LOW POWER USE. THIS TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYS PARAGON S UNIQUE AND ROBUST, LOW POWER LIQUID SEPARATION TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS HERITAGE IN AND HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED AS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BY HONEYWELL IN THE TWO-PHASE EXTENDED EVALUATION IN MICROGRAVITY (TEEM) FLIGHT EXPERIMENT. THIS TECHNOLOGY SATISFIES NASA S NEEDS AS DESCRIBED IN SBIR TOPIC Z2.01; NASA IS INTERESTED IN ADVANCED HEAT EXCHANGERS AND COLDPLATES THAT LEVERAGE NOVEL MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES TO MINIMIZE STRUCTURAL MASS AND PROVIDE A GOOD THERMAL PERFORMANCE, CORROSION RESISTANCE, A RELIABLE 3-YEAR MINIMUM LIFE NOT CONTAMINATED BY MICROBIAL GROWTH, AND WHOSE COATING DOES NOT IMPACT THE LIFE SUPPORT WATER RECOVERY SYSTEM. COSMIC IS INTENDED TO REPLACE THE COMMON CABIN AIR ASSEMBLY (CCAA) SLURPER AND WATER SEPARATOR ORU. CURRENTLY THE ISS CCAA CHX, SLURPER, AND WATER SEPARATOR ARE INTENDED TO CONDENSE/REMOVE EXCESS MOISTURE FROM CABIN AIR. ISSUES ARISE BECAUSE SLURPER BEHAVIOR IS DEPENDENT UPON A LIQUID FILM WETTING THE CHX AND SLURPER. THIS BEHAVIOR REQUIRES A HYDROPHILIC SURFACE. THE PRESENCE OF SILOXANES ON THE ISS HAS DEGRADED THE HYDROPHILIC CCAA CHX COATING DRIVING SURFACES TO BEHAVE HYDROPHOBICALLY. COSMIC ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES BY IMPROVING THE MEANS OF SEPARATION SO THAT IT MAY OCCUR INDEPENDENTLY OF SURFACE WETTING BEHAVIOR. COSMIC INTRODUCES NO ADDITIONAL PRESSURE DROP, REQUIRES NO ADDITIONAL FLOW, PROVIDES HEAD TO THE SEPARATED VAPOR STREAM, IS POTENTIAL DROP-IN HARDWARE, HARNESSES PROVEN TECHNOLOGY IN MICROGRAVITY, AND INTRODUCES LITTLE PARASITIC POWER DRAW. COSMIC IS AN INDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGY BUT MAY BE PAIRED WITH PARAGON S SILVER-PLATED CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGE FOR MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENTS (SCHEME) TECHNOLOGY.$123K
Jul 23, 2018National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER80NSSC18P2184541715PARAGON PROPOSES DEVELOPMENT OF FLEXIBLE RADIATOR (FLEXRAD) TECHNOLOGY FOR INTEGRATION WITH INFLATABLE HABITATS. A PUMPED FLUID LOOP RADIATOR IS COMPOSED OF THE FLUID LOOP TUBING WHICH CARRIES COOLANT FOR HEAT EXCHANGE, FACESHEETS WHICH PROVIDE EXTENDED SURFACE AREA FOR RADIATIVE HEAT REJECTION, AND INLET AND OUTLET MANIFOLDS TO CONNECT INDIVIDUAL SETS OF TUBING. FOR A RADIATOR TO BE FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING METHODS MUST EFFICIENTLY SUPPORT HEAT TRANSFER VIA CONVECTION WITH THE COOLANT, CONDUCTIVE HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH THE FACESHEET, AND RADIATIVE PROPERTIES THAT ALLOW FOR HEAT REJECTION WHILE PREVENTING INSOLATED SURFACES FROM ABSORBING TO MUCH ENERGY. FLEXRAD IS A SYSTEM WHERE RIGID COMPONENTS ARE REPLACED WITH FLEXIBLE SOFT GOODS TO CREATE A RADIATOR THAT WILL FULLY INTEGRATE WITH EXISTING INFLATABLE STRUCTURES AND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE FULL RANGE OF BENEFITS AFFORDED BY FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE. FLEXRAD PROVIDES A FLEXIBLE RADIATOR SOLUTION THAT WILL BE ABLE TO BALANCE THERMAL AND STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE WHILE PROVIDING UNIQUE DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY. FLEXRAD WILL PROVIDE A NET MASS AND COST SAVINGS COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL RADIATORS BECAUSE FLEXRAD WILL LAUNCH IN A STOWED CONFIGURATION NOT SUBJECT TO LAUNCH ACCELERATIONS AND VIBRO-ACOUSTICS, REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SUPPORTING STRUCTURE NEEDED FOR LAUNCH. IN ADDITION TO EASY INTEGRATION WITH INFLATABLE HABITATS, FLEXRAD OFFERS IMPROVED OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL SYSTEM INTEGRATION (E.G., ADDING MICRO-METEOROID AND ORBITAL DEBRIS PROTECTION). FLEXRAD IS EXPECTED TO THERMAL PERFORMANCE ON PAR WITH EXISTING ALUMINUM RADIATORS, INCLUDING ACHIEVING A FIN EFFICIENCY OF 0.85 AND RADIATIVE OPTICAL PROPERTIES CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT STATE OF THE ART.$125K

Jul 17, 2018National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER80NSSC18C0191541715PARAGON SPACE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND OUR PARTNER RESEARCH INSTITUTION TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY (TTU) PROPOSE TO CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT OF A SPACECRAFT HABITAT WASTEWATER RECYCLING SYSTEM THAT INTEGRATES 1) A TTU MEMBRANE AERATED BIOLOGICAL REACTOR (MABR), 2) NAFION MEMBRANE WATER PURIFICATION (NWP) DISTILLATION TECHNOLOGY, AND 3) GAS-PHASE TRACE CONTAMINANT REMOVAL (GTCR) TO REALIZE A LOW-MASS, LOW-VOLUME, CLOSEDLOOP, SUSTAINABLE, AND ULTRA-RELIABLE WATER RECYCLING AND PURIFICATION SYSTEM. IT IS THE COUPLING OF THESE WELL DEVELOPED AND UNDERSTOOD PROCESSES THAT IS NOVEL AND OFFERS A SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE OVER STATE OF THE ART (SOA) SPACECRAFT WATER PROCESSING SYSTEMS. THE INTEGRATED WATER RECOVERY ASSEMBLY (IRA) WILL REDUCE CONSUMABLE CONSUMPTION BY REMOVING THE NEED FOR HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL PRETREAT AND MAY ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR AQUEOUSPHASE TREATMENT NOW USED TO REACH POTABLE STANDARDS. IT WILL ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE WASTE GENERATION AND INCREASE MATERIAL RECYCLING BY CONVERTING CARBON, HYDROGEN, AND NITROGEN SPECIES INTO USEFUL PRODUCTS SUCH AS H2O, N2, AND CO2. IRA WILL BE LESS COMPLEX, REQUIRE FEWER CONSUMABLES, BE MORE ROBUST, AND MORE SUSTAINABLE THAN SOA SYSTEMS. IRA SHOULD PRODUCE A CONCENTRATED AND DRIED SOLID WASTE STREAM THAT IS ALWAYS CONTAINED AND CONSISTS OF SALTS AND RESIDUAL ORGANIC MATTER. MABR AND NWP HAVE DEVELOPED AS INDEPENDENT SUBSYSTEMS FOR HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT WASTEWATER PROCESSING BUT THEIR UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES HAVE NOT BEEN OPTIMIZED TO FUNCTION TOGETHER AS AN INTEGRATED WASTEWATER RECYCLING SYSTEM. NEITHER IS INDIVIDUALLY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING POTABLE WATER, BUT COMBINED WITH MATURE GTCR TECHNOLOGY, WE PROPOSE THAT IRA REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT ADVANCEMENT OVER SOA OF THE ART SPACECRAFT WASTEWATER PROCESSING SYSTEMS. IN SUMMARY, THE INNOVATION WE PROPOSE IS TO COMBINE AND OPTIMIZE ALL THREE STAGES INTO A NOVEL INTEGRATED SYSTEM CAPABLE OF PROCESSING HABITATION WASTEWATER AND PRODUCING CLEAN WATER FOR ALL HABITAT NEEDS.$750K

CELSIUS PROVIDES NEARLY PERFECT RADIATION DOMINATED THERMAL PERFORMANCE. A 5 LAYER SYSTEM MLI/MMOD SYSTEM LIMITS HEAT LOAD TO A CRYOGEN TO<0.5 W/M ^2 AND GIVES>95% PROBABILITY OF NO PENETRATION FOR A TWO YEAR MISSION IN LOW EARTH ORBIT AND IS READILY SCALABLE TO OTHER MISSION TYPES. THE SYSTEM IS APPLICABLE TO LARGE STRUCTURES, INCLUDING CRYOGENIC TANKS. FURTHERMORE CELSIUS IS ROBUST ENOUGH TO TOLERATE THE VIBRATIONS, LOAD, DYNAMIC PRESSURES, AND HEATING OF THE LAUNCH ASCENT ENVIRONMENT ALLOWING IT TO PROTECT NEARLY ANY PORTION OF THE LAUNCH STACK UP TO AND INCLUDING SERVING AS A COMPLETE LAUNCH FAIRING. OUR PHASE II EFFORT MATURES THE CONCEPT THROUGH ANALYSIS, DESIGN, SUBSCALE TEST AND VALIDATION ACTIVITIES; INCLUDING SIMULATION OF THE HIGHEST RISK AREAS OF FREE-STREAM EXPOSER AND VIBRATION AT LAUNCH FOLLOWED BY SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT WHILE AT CRYOGENIC COLD-SOAK. THIS EFFORT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES THE TRL OF THE SYSTEM AND WE EXIT PHASE II WITH COMPLETE VALIDATION AND HAVING COMPLETED A PRELIMINARY DESIGN CYCLE IN SUPPORT OF TECHNOLOGY INSERTION ONTO THE CELSIUS HAS APPLICATION TO NASA AS AN INSULATION SOLUTION FOR THE EXPOSED HYDROGEN TANK BARREL SECTION ON THE SLS EXPLORATION UPPER STAGE (EUS). CELSIUS CAN, FOR MINIMAL MASS PROVIDE ASCENT-TO-ORBIT PROTECTION FOR THE BARREL SECTION AND EXCELLENT LONG TERM THERMAL AND MMOD PROTECTION. CELSIUS WILL GREATLY EXTEND THE EUS ON-ORBIT LIFE PROVIDING NASA IMPROVED MISSION FLEXIBILITY FOR EXPLORATION MISSIONS. CELSIUS ALSO HAS FUTURE APPLICATION FOR ORBITAL PROPELLANT DEPOTS, HABITATS, AND AS A COMPLETE LAUNCH FAIRING SOLUTION. IN THIS ROLE, CELSIUS MAY BE AN ENABLING TECHNOLOGY THAT PROVIDES A SINGLE SOLUTION TO THE GROUND-TO-ORBIT AND LONG TERM ONORBIT STORAGE OF CRYOGENIC PROPELLANTS. WITH CELSIUS THERE IS NEVER A MOMENT WHEN THE CRYOGENIC SYSTEM IS UNPROTECTED, NOR IS TRANSFER NEEDED. THE CELSIUS FAIRING AND INSULATION SYSTEM IS CARRIED DIRECTLY TO ORBIT AND REMAINS TO PROTECT THE CRYOGEN SYSTEM FROM THE DURATION OF ITS USEFUL LIFE. CELSIUS IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR GROUND APPLICATIONS FOR IMPROVED CRYOGENIC INSULATION. THIS IS A PARTICULARLY LARGE COST FOR NASA, THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE, AND COMMERCIAL LAUNCH PROVIDERS WHO MUST MAINTAIN FACILITIES AND PRODUCE OR DELIVER CRYOGENIC PROPELLANTS IN LARGE QUANTITIES IN SOME OF THE WARMEST AND MOST HUMID REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY.$143K
