NASA has selected 18 projects valued at $11 million for Phase II funding under the Small Business Technology Transfer program. The 18 high tech firms are partnered with 15 universities, including Mississippi State University. Several projects are of interest to NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center. Combustion Research and Flow Technology of Pipersville, Pa., is teamed with the University of Florida to develop simulation software to predict potential damage to a propulsion system and test stands that can be caused by vibrations of liquid rockets. In another project, MSU is working with Keystone Synergistic Enterprises of Port Saint Lucie, Fla., on a process to solid-state weld high strength and temperature alloys used to make engine nozzel skirts. The team will produce experimental components for test and evaluation by NASA. MSU is also working with Streamline Numerics of Gainesville, Fla., on an advanced simulation framework for design and analysis of space propulsion systems.
