Washington, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NASA is almost $1.5 million It serves academic, non-profit and business organizations to advance cutting-edge technologies that will play a key role in the agency's return to the Moon under Artemis and future missions to Mars.
Twenty-four projects from 21 organizations were awarded under NASA's Dual-Use Technology Development Cooperation Agreement Notification (CAN). Winners will also receive support from propulsion, space transportation and science experts at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Huntsville, Alabama.
Brandon Aguiar, a graduate student at Florida International University, developed lunar regolith simulants, graphene nanoplatelets, and base resins for use in FIU's ongoing research on improving the electrical conductivity of stacked regolith components containing graphene nanoplatelets. We are working on the preparation of slurry containing.
“The Dual-Use Technology Development Cooperation Agreement Notice will allow NASA to work with U.S. industry and academia to develop the necessary technology.” daniel o'neil, Manager of NASA Marshall's Technology Development Dual-Use CAN Program. “Products from these cooperative agreements will support closing identified technology gaps and enable the development of components and systems for NASA's Moon-to-Mars architecture.”
These innovative projects include using lunar regolith to build the moon's surface using video-guided sensors on smartphones, flying robots on the International Space Station, identifying new battery materials, and neutrino particle detection. This includes ways to improve the equipment.
