The Modeling and Technologies Portfolios are part of The NASA Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) Portfolio Project’s (CFMPP). The Modeling Portfolio develops, enhances, validates, and demonstrates Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Nodal tools to address capability gaps for predicting cryogenic fluid behavior in 1-G and microgravity environments for use as design tools for future NASA...
NASA is developing technologies for long duration missions utilizing cryogenic propellants. Zero boil-off storage is necessary to achieve human exploration missions to Mars. Active cooling will enable these missions. Current and future cryocooler technology development efforts will be presented for storage of Liquid Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Methane.
The NASA Cryogenic Fluid Management Portfolio Project’s (CFMPP) Demonstrations Portfolio designs, builds, and tests integrated flight and ground systems comprised of multiple CFM subsystems, enabling TRL 5 - 7 maturation for technologies for in-space applications both through activities performed by NASA and partnerships with industry. These partnerships are through Tipping Point contracts, a...
As part of the Artemis Program, NASA’s Human Landing Systems (HLS) Program is responsible for the development of spacecraft that will land the next American astronauts on the Moon and return them safely to a staging vehicle in lunar orbit. NASA has partnered with SpaceX and Blue Origin to lead the design and development of these human landing systems, and NASA is providing critical insight and...
