Deep Space X-ray Navigation and Communication (SEXTANT) TECHNOLOGY AND TEAM AT GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER
KSC-2013-2721 – SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. –Members of the student launch team load a payload into a Poly Picosatellite Orbital Dispensor, or P-Pod nanolauncher/carrier in the CubeSat lab facility at California Polytechnic Institute, or CalPoly. The payload, which includes sensors and equipment carefully packaged into 4-inch cube sections, will ride in the body of a Garvey Spacecraft Corporation's Prospector P-18D rocket during a June 15 launch on a high-altitude, suborbital flight. Known as a CubeSat, the satellite will record shock, vibrations and heat inside the rocket. It will not be released during the test flight, but the results will be used to prove or strengthen their designs before they are carried into orbit in 2014 on a much larger rocket. Also, a new launcher/carrier of a lightweight design also is being tested for use on future missions to deploy the small spacecraft. The flight also is being watched closely as a model for trying out new or off-the-shelf technologies quickly before putting them in the pipeline for use on NASA's largest launchers. Built by several different organizations, including a university, a NASA field center and a high school, the spacecraft are four-inch cubes designed to fly on their own eventually, but will remain firmly attached to the rocket during the upcoming mission.

Zusammenfassung
Preisgekrönte Erfindung Dr. David Chao (links), Dr. Negli Zhang und Dr. John Sankovic (nicht im Bild) entwickelten das preisgekrönte Multidimensionale Kontaktwinkelmessgerät (MCAMD). Diese bahnbrechende Technologie hilft Ingenieuren zu verstehen, wie sich Flüssigkeiten auf verschiedenen Oberflächen verteilen. Dieses Phänomen ist für viele Branchen von entscheidender Bedeutung, darunter Farben, Beschichtungen und Schmierstoffe. In Weltraumanwendungen ist es wichtig, die optimale Leistung von Wärmerohren und Treibstofftanks zu bestimmen. Der MCAMD kann eine 360-Grad-Ansicht des Flüssigkeitsstreuprozesses liefern, anstatt nur die Seitenansicht, die bei bereits vorhandenen Geräten zur Verfügung steht. Es kostet bis zu 15-mal weniger als aktuelle, weniger leistungsfähige kommerzielle Systeme.
