NASA Cryogenic Propellant Systems Technology Development and Potential Opportunities for Discussion
Members of the eCryo Team are traveling to France to meet with CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) on the benchmarking of CFM (Cryogenic Fluids Management) analytical models the week of January 26th, 2015. Mike Meyer is representing the Agency and eCryo Project and will conduct a conversation to explore future work. This slide package (28 charts and 3 movies) requires approval via a 1676. ISS data in this chart set has been copied from public websites.

Space Technology - Game Changing Development NASA Facts: Autonomous Medical Operations
The AMO (Autonomous Medical Operations) Project is working extensively to train medical models on the reliability and confidence of computer-aided interpretation of ultrasound images in various clinical settings, and of various anatomical structures. AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms recognize and classify features in the ultrasound images, and these are compared to those features that clinicians use to diagnose diseases. The acquisition of clinically validated image assessment and the use of the AI algorithms constitutes fundamental baseline for a Medical Decision Support System that will advise crew on long-duration, remote missions.

Supersonic Inlet Test for a Quiet Supersonic Transport Technology Demonstrator in the NASA Glenn 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel
NASA funded the preliminary design of a flight demonstrator aircraft with a greatly reduced sonic boom signature to enable supersonic flight over land. In 2017, two tests were performed at the NASA Glenn Research Center 8- by 6-foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel, an aerodynamic stability/control test and an inlet performance test. The inlet was unique due to the location on the vehicle, located on the top centerline near the rear of the aircraft. Test data provided a validation and performance dataset for engine integration on the demonstrator vehicle. The subject of this report is the subsonic and supersonic performance data collected for the centerline top-mounted inlet.

Space Technology Game Changing Development: NASA Affordable Vehicle Avionics (AVA)
Common Modular Avionics System for Nanolaunchers Offering Affordable Access to Space Small satellites are becoming ever more capable of performing valuable missions for both government and commercial customers. However, currently these satellites can be launched affordably only as secondary payloads. This makes it difficult for the small satellite mission to launch when needed, to the desired orbit, and with acceptable risk. What is needed is a class of low-cost launchers, so that launch costs to low-Earth orbit (LEO) are commensurate with payload costs. Several private and government-sponsored launch vehicle developers are working toward just that—the ability to affordably insert small payloads into LEO. But until now, cost of the complex avionics remained disproportionately high. AVA solves this problem. Significant contributors to the cost of launching nanosatellites to orbit are the avionics and software systems that steer and control the launch vehicles, sequence stage separation, deploy payloads, and telemeter data. The high costs of these guidance, navigation and control (GNC) avionics systems are due in part to the current practice of developing unique, single use hardware and software for each launch. High-performance, high-reliability inertial sensors components with heritage from legacy launchers also contribute to costs—but can low-cost commercial inertial sensors work just as well?
