John F. Kennedy Space Center's Chemochromic Hypergol Sensors

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seeks partne rs interested in the commercial application of the Chemochromic Hyper gol Sensors technology. NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is soliciti ng licensees for this innovative technology. The Chemochromic Hypergo l Sensors technology consists of chemochromic pigments incorporated i nto various matrices (e.g., tapes, sheets, injection molded parts, fi bers). When placed near strategic locations such as piping and contai ner valves, seams, and joints, these sensors provide an instantaneous , distinct color change from yellow to black indicating the presence of hypergols at the leak location. The chemochromic pigments can be incorporated into fibers used to make fabrics for personal protective equipment as well as into badge holders for use as a point leak detector. These affordable, easily replaceable sensors provide the capabil ity to visually monitor leak-prone locations and personnel working i n those areas on a continuous basis for the presence of dangerous hyp ergols.

Toxicological Assessment of ISS Air Quality: April - May 2013

A summary of the analytical results from 4 mini-grab sample (mGSCs) collected on ISS and returned aboard 33S is shown in Table 1. Due to the launch delay of the ATV4 resupply mission, monthly samples were reduced in April and May by omitting sampling of the Service Module in order to ensure contingency samplers were available if needed. Complete data tables of all measured concentrations and corresponding T-values based on 180-day SMACs are enclosed. detection limit for all target compounds, except m/p-xylenes and hexachloro-1, 3-butadiene was 0.025 mg/cu m. The detection limit for m/p-xylenes and hexachloro-1, 3-butadiene and all non-target compounds was 0.05 mg/cu m. The average recoveries of the 3 surrogate standards from the mGSCs were as follows: C-13-acetone, 116 +/- 12%; D-5-fluorobenzene, 117 +/- 7%; and D-5-chlorobenzene, 111 +/- 15%. Initial measured sample pressures were between 13.9 and 14.1 psia for all samples, indicating nominal sample collection. A summary of the analytical results from 3 pairs of passive-diffusion formaldehyde badges collected on ISS and returned aboard 33S is also provided in Table 1. In an effort to conserve samples due to the delay of the ATV4 resupply mission, FMK sampling was only conducted in the US Lab in May. Positive control recoveries (1 trip and 2 lab controls) were 79%, 87%, and 116% respectively.

The Value of Diversity in the Renewable Energy Industry and Research Community

Part of creating a successful solar industry is developing a capable workforce. It has been repeatedly shown that organizations and companies are more productive when they have diverse and inclusive cultures. The solar industry in the U.S. performs well in some aspects (non-white workforce, positive work environment) but drastically under-performs in many others. We discuss these metrics and how this impacts the renewable energy industry and the solar research community. We highlight some initial actions which are necessary to begin to remediate these deficiencies, such as demographic tracking, recruiting strategies, and mentoring. We also present the historical and ongoing efforts to improve the diversity and inclusion of the Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, particularly through the work of this year’s Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) oversight committee. This year’s D&I committee is implementing diversity tracking, a women’s lunch, a diversity lunch, childcare resources, pronouns on badges, gender-neutral restrooms, addressing accessibility issues, and publishing a diversity statement and code of conduct to the PVSC website.

Protecting scientific integrity in an age of generative AI

Revolutionary advances in AI have brought us to a transformative moment for science. AI is accelerating scientific discoveries and analyses. At the same time, its tools and processes challenge core norms and values in the conduct of science, including accountability, transparency, replicability, and human responsibility (1–3). These difficulties are particularly apparent in recent advances with generative AI. Future innovations with AI may mitigate some of these or raise new concerns and challenges.
