About this award
Purdue University was awarded a $793,535 research grant by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center on January 1, 2022, with performance completion scheduled for June 30, 2027. The grant supports research addressing thermal management challenges for advanced space missions, particularly manned missions to Mars. As space missions increase in scope, complexity, and duration, power and heat dissipation demands intensify, necessitating innovations to reduce the size and weight of thermal management subsystems. The research involves transitioning from single-phase to two-phase thermal management technologies to achieve these objectives. Work is being conducted at Purdue University's West Lafayette, Indiana campus, and the contract was awarded through a competitive process with no set-aside designation.
This award reflects Purdue University's established capability in aerospace research and space exploration initiatives. The university has demonstrated significant expertise in this domain through previous awards, including a $4.2 million grant for evaluating early Mars environment features relevant to the origin of life and ongoing support through NASA's Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities and Science Mission Directorate programs. The research grant contributes to broader federal priorities in space exploration and the technological development required to support human missions to Mars, leveraging Purdue's extensive research infrastructure and interdisciplinary expertise in aerospace systems and advanced materials.
Description
As space missions increase in scope, size, complexity, and duration, so do both power and heat dissipation demands. This is particularly the case for future manned missions to mars. Paramount to the success of these missions is ability to reduce SIZ
