- This federal contract award, valued at $286,184.80, is a grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to MSNW LLC, a for-profit limited liability company. The purpose of the award is to further develop a "magnetoshell" technology that can be used for aerobraking and aerocapture maneuvers during future manned missions to Mars as well as deep space planetary orbiters. The proposed technology aims to utilize a simple dipole...
- This federal contract award is for research to mature magnetoshell aerocapture (MAC) technology for orbit insertion at target bodies with significant atmospheres. The research will analytically and experimentally investigate the aerodynamic and thermal characteristics of a "plasma parachute" decelerator system. The results will be used to develop a custom MAC module within the Program to Optimize Simulated Trajectories II (POST2) software, enabling the broader entry, descent, and...
- This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to MSNW LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, for the development of an optimal shielding configuration referred to as a Magnetospheric Dipolar Torus (MDT). The MDT has the ability to deflect the majority of galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) including high-Z and high-energy (HZE) ions. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, has a potential value of $500,000.00 and a...
