- This is a federal contract award to Purdue University, an institution of higher education and research located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center, is a $223,493.58 training grant to expand the understanding of flame structure and chemistry of composite solid rocket propellants using planar laser-induced fluorescence and infrared laser-absorption techniques. The work will focus on a basic propellant of...
- Purdue University was awarded a $291,895.67 training grant contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the combustion behavior and performance of ammonia borane-based hybrid rocket propellants. The research aims to characterize the regression rate and restart capability of these propellants, which have the potential to be high-performing and mitigate issues associated with conventional liquid fuels. The work will utilize laser diagnostic techniques to...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University for $615,971.00 to conduct research and testing on heat transfer to lander legs from rocket plumes. The research aims to expand on an existing flight payload that has been tested on suborbital flights, to increase the number of temperature sensors in order to better understand the effects of actively gimballed and throttled rocket motors on lander legs. The grant will fund multiple flight...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $579,855 grant for research to Purdue University to conduct a comprehensive propellant characterization campaign for mixed oxides of nitrogen (MON) with high concentrations of nitric oxide (NO). NASA has historically used low concentrations of NO added to nitrogen tetroxide, but higher concentrations can provide system-level benefits in lower temperature environments. This study will provide fundamental data needed to support the...
- Purdue University has been awarded a $550,000 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate rotating detonation combustion for space engines using reduced toxicity hypergolic propellants. Purdue will lead this research effort as the prime contractor, partnering with Small Business in Space LLC. The research is to be conducted in West Lafayette, Indiana over a three-year period concluding in January 2023. No set-aside designation or additional context...
- Purdue University, a leading research institution, was awarded a $212,555.88 contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a new additive manufacturing (AM) technology capable of printing heterogeneous materials with high solids loadings. This is a revolutionary advancement, as it will enable the printing of propellants previously considered unprintable, allowing for the creation of unique geometries that can improve propellant burning rates. The contract...
- Purdue University was awarded a $500,485.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct reduced gravity experiments to measure cryogenic two-phase heat transfer coefficients for future in-space transfer systems. The award, which runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025, does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor, Purdue University has a broad history of supporting U.S. government research and development across various agencies and mission...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution and land grant university. The $118,261.91 grant is for research on storable propellants, which are critical for NASA's deep space and low Earth orbit missions due to their small impulse bit, high performance, and simplicity. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor, Purdue University has a...
- This federal contract award to Purdue University, with a ceiling value of $297,000.00, aims to develop novel mixture procedures to produce stable multiphase fuel mixtures for hybrid propulsion systems. The goal is to increase the combustion efficiency, specific impulse, and regression rate of hybrid fuels to provide a more effective, affordable, and sustainable means of space exploration. The work will focus on using low-energy emulsification techniques to create kinetically stable liquid...
- This is a $226,149.59 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a prominent public research university, to conduct a knowledge gathering payload experiment focused on improving simulations of non-linear contact line motion and low-gravity propellant slosh motion. The objective is to generate data from a tailored testing geometry with some prior zero-gravity flight heritage, in order to better model and predict this common spacecraft...
