Cryogenic Fluid Management for Spacecraft

Abstract:

This project, in Phase I, will develop theory and define the requirements of engineering
software and an engineering manual for some of the more challenging aspects of the
design of cryogenic fluid management systems. Particular attention will be given
to fluid and thermal management issues where the underlying scientific understanding
is in a state of rapid evolution.
This proposal is focused on immediate NASA needs for spacecraft development. Commercial
benefits will result from improved means to handle cryogens.
