ONE OF THE HEALTH RISKS ASTRONAUTS FACE IS HIGH EXPOSURE TO IONIZING RADIATION FROM COSMIC RAYS AND SOLAR PARTICLE EVENTS Solicitation ID/Procurement Identifier: 80NSSC20K1173 Ultimate Completion Date: Wed Jul 31 17:00:00 GMT 2024
CSP is advantageous because it provides a reliable, efficient, and inexpensive means of energy production and storage.CSP technology employing particle receivers works by reflecting and concentrating solar rays from a series of mirrors, or heliostats, to a location in the aperture of a large tower (the "receiver"). Within the receiver, a stream of particles fall through the beam of concentrated sunlight and increase in temperature.
SCIENCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES THE MOST ENERGETIC ELECTRONS IN SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLE (SEP) EVENTS CAN EXTEND TO MORE THAN SEVERAL MEV. AT THE SUN, ELECTRON BEAMS AT THESE ENERGIES ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH HARD X-RAYS AND GYRO-SYNCHROTRON RADIATIO Solicitation ID/Procurement Identifier: 80NSSC18K1232 Ultimate Completion Date: Fri Jun 25 17:00:00 GMT 2021
This test mass builds charge due to caging release, cosmic rays, Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs). In order to control external forces on this test mass, its charge must be controlled. The purpose of the charge management device is non-contact charge removal from the test mass.As a part of its contribution to the LISA mission, NASA will support the design, development and testing of the CMD.
The Texas A&M University System, Office of Facilities Planning & Construction, is soliciting statements of qualifications from companies who have demonstrated knowledge and experience in working with Owner representatives, A/E design teams and contractors to assist in designing an audio visual (AV) system, and then procurement and installation of the AV system.See the attached Request for Qualifications for more information and instructions.
The objectives for the Solar and Solar Wind Effects research effort are to (1) provide improved solar models, including electromagnetic radiation, energetic particles, and plasma, that impact the space environment and support operational end user products and tools; and (2) develop and improve space- and ground-based solar and heliospheric instrumentation and data products necessary to drive the models research thrusts which include: improved radiation
The Lunar Environment Heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI), which will capture images of the interaction of Earth's magnetosphere with the flow of charged particles from the Sun, called the solar wind. The Reconfigurable, Radiation Tolerant Computer System (RadPC), which aims to demonstrate a radiation-tolerant computing technology. Due to the Moon's lack of atmosphere and magnetic field, radiation from the Sun will be a challenge for electronics.
