Grant For Research NNX15AG11G

This federal contract award, valued at $709,999.91, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the San Diego State University Research Foundation (SDSURF). The award, identified as NNX15AG11G, supports ongoing research under the "Residence Time Driven Flame Spread over Solid Fuels" (RTDFS) project, which investigates steady and unsteady flame propagation over solid fuels in a microgravity environment. The research aims to establish critical fuel thickness and flow velocity parameters, as well as the mechanism of flame extinguishment, through ground-based experiments and eventual space-based testing. SDSURF, a non-profit research foundation affiliated with San Diego State University, is serving as the prime contractor on this effort, which does not utilize any set-aside designations. The work builds upon previous NASA-funded studies and is expected to be completed by February 2022.
