official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY To enable deep space missions, the capability to transfer and store cryogenic fuels (typically liquid hydrogen, methane, and oxygen) without significant leakage over long duration missions is critical. NASA has been actively developing zero boil-off cryocooler technology to reduce storage losses. Another source of fuel loss is from leakage atContinue reading “Low Leakage Cryogenic Disconnects for Fuel Transfer and Long-Term Storage”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY As NASA continues cutting-edge aeronautics research, the agency also is taking steps to make sure the benefits from these diverse technologies are greater than the sum of their parts. To tackle that challenge, NASA is using Model-Based Systems Analysis and Engineering (MBSAE). This type of engineering digitally simulates how multipleContinue reading “NASA Furthers Aeronautical Innovation Using Model-Based Systems”
