| 2328383 | FMRG: ECO: GOALI: CAS: UNDERSTANDING THE SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK FOR CONVERGENT IN-SPACE MANUFACTURING -WITH THE DEMOCRATIZATION AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF SPACE POISED TO SPRINGBOARD THE NEXT GENERATION OF SPACE TECHNOLOGIES, SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES, AND EXPLORATIONS, DISTINCT ADVANTAGES WILL BE REALIZED BY WHICHEVER NATION FIRST ESTABLISHES THESE ?FACTORIES-IN-SPACE? FOR MANUFACTURING, ASSEMBLY, REPAIR, AND RECLAMATION IN NON-TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS. RECENT ADVANCES IN THE SPACE INDUSTRY HAVE BROUGHT HUMANITY CLOSER TO EXPLORING POTENTIAL WAYS TO UTILIZE SPACE RESOURCES AND PROTECT THE EARTH?S ENVIRONMENT. WITH THE EMERGING INTERESTS AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS IN IN-SPACE MANUFACTURING (ISM), IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO CONCEPTUALIZE THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF ISM SUSTAINABILITY AND TO GUIDE ITS TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THESE PRINCIPLES TO ENSURE THAT THE PURSUIT OF PROGRESS ALIGNS WITH THE GOALS OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND LONG-TERM VIABILITY. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NATIONAL NEED TO ADVANCE SUSTAINABLE ISM TO BE A WORLD LEADER IN SUCH KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNOLOGIES, AS IS REFLECTED IN NATIONAL BUDGET PRIORITIES AND CRITICAL EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES LIST. THE LONG-TERM EARTH AND HUMANITY BENEFITS FROM ISM ARE IMMENSE, ESPECIALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALLY PRESSING CHALLENGES RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE, RESOURCE DEPLETION, ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, AND POPULATION GROWTH. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ENABLE A SUSTAINABLE SPACE INDUSTRY THAT MINIMIZES ITS IMPACT ON THE EARTH AND SPACE ENVIRONMENTS. THE PROJECT INTEGRATES RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TO PROVIDE CAREER AWARENESS AND PREPARATION IN SUPPORT OF A FUTURE DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN TECHNICAL AND SOCIETAL BEST PRACTICES FOR ISM. THE PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE DIVISION OF MATERIALS RESEARCH (DMR) IN THE DIRECTORATE FOR MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES (MPS), AND CO-FUNDED BY THE DIVISION OF TRANSLATIONAL IMPACTS (TI) IN THE DIRECTORATE FOR TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION AND PARTNERSHIPS (TIP), THE DIVISION OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION AND CENTERS (EEC) IN THE DIRECTORATE FOR ENGINEERING (ENG), AND THE ESTABLISHED PROGRAM TO STIMULATE COMPETITIVE RESEARCH (EPSCOR) IN THE OFFICE OF INTEGRATED ACTIVITIES (OIA) IN THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR (OD). THE PROPOSED WORK CONVERGES MULTI-PROCESS AND MULTI-MATERIAL INTERFACIAL MANUFACTURING, SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING, AND PARTICIPATORY SCIENCE TO SERVE AS A BENCHMARK TO RE-IMAGINE A NEW FORM OF SPACE COMMERCE THAT MANUFACTURES AT THE POINT-OF-NEED. THE TEAM WILL INVESTIGATE HOW EXISTING RESOURCES IN SPACE, SUCH AS METALLIC SPACE DEBRIS AND LUNAR REGOLITH, CAN BE USED TO MANUFACTURE PRODUCTS FOR USE IN SPACE AND REDUCE THE SUPPLY FROM EARTH. MECHANISMS BY WHICH VARIABLES AKIN TO MULTI-MATERIAL AND MULTI-PROCESS INTERFACIAL ENGINEERING INFLUENCE THE SUSTAINABILITY AND QUALITY OF ISM PRODUCTS WILL BE IDENTIFIED. THE VISION IS TO REALIZE A FLEXIBLE HYBRID ISM PLATFORM ALLOWING THE FABRICATION OF AN ARRAY OF SPECIALTY, ONE-OFF PARTS USING RESOURCES AVAILABLE IN SPACE WITH THE EARTH AND SPACE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND BENEFITS CLEARLY AND ACCURATELY ASSESSED AND ATTAINED. THIS RESEARCH INTEGRATES APPROACHES AND TOOLS, INCLUDING PARTICIPATORY MODELING, HYBRID ASYNCHRONOUS ADDITIVE AND FORMING PROCESS DESIGN AND MODELING, EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF ISM WITH SIMULATED SPACE CONDITIONS, POST-PROCESS MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION, PROSPECTIVE LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT, SCENARIO ANALYSIS, AND MULTI-OBJECTIVE DECISION-MAKING, TO PIONEER THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK FOR ISM. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD. | 2023-10-01 → 2027-09-30 | $3.0M |
| 80NSSC20M0021 | THE LEADER CENTER FOR SPACE ENVIRONMENTS IS A MODELING-LAB-DATA CENTER OF EXCELLENCE THAT WILL ANSWER THE OVERARCHING QUESTION: HOW DOES THE HIGHLY VARIABLE ENERGY AND MATTER IN THE INNER HELIOSPHERE AFFECT VOLATILE STABILITY PLASMA INTERACTIONS DUST MIGRATION AND SURFACE MICRO-STRUCTURE AT THE MOON AND HOW DOES THE DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT CHANGE WITH HUMAN PRESENCE?" AS HUMANKIND BEGINS TO COLONIZE THE MOON AND UTILIZE RESOURCES FOUND THERE WE WILL NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES BOTH FOR THE HEALTH OF THE ASTRONAUTS BUT ALSO FOR THE LONG-TERM VIABILITY OF THEIR EQUIPMENT. HAZARDS INCLUDE RADIATION SURFACE CHARGING LUNAR DUST SOLAR WIND AND METEOROIDS. HOWEVER IN ADDITION THE INVERSE PROCESS IS AN IMPORTANT UNKNOWN: THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HUMAN CONTAMINATION AND DISTURBANCE OF THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT. IN THE LEADER INTEGRATED TEAM STUDY WE PROPOSE TO TAKE OUR PREVIOUS RESEARCH ONE STEP BEYOND OUR PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DETERMINE NOT ONLY THE RESPONSE OF THE MOON TO INTERPLANETARY CONDITIONS BUT TO STUDY THE RESPONSE OF THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT TO HUMAN ACTIVITY. CONVERSELY WE WILL STUDY IN-DEPTH THE EFFECT OF THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT ON HUMANS AND THEIR EQUIPMENT. GIVEN THAT THERE ARE MANY UNKNOWNS WE HAVE BROKEN UP OUR TASKS INTO FOUR BROAD INTER-CONNECTED THEMES: (1) SPACE ENVIRONMENT-VOLATILE INTERACTIONS (2) PLASMA-SURFACE-OBJECT INTERACTIONS (3) DUST ELECTROSTATICS COHESION TRIBO-ELECTRICITY AND CHEMISTRY AND (4) RADIATION TRANSPORT IN MATERIAL. THESE THEMES IN FACT OVERLAP IN MANY AREAS. FOR EXAMPLE PLASMAS SPUTTER VOLATILE MATERIAL INTO THE EXOSPHERE. THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT INCLUDES THE SOLAR WIND PLASMA RADIATION AND DUST. GIVEN THAT THESE DRIVERS VARY OVER THE COURSE OF A LUNAR MONTH IN PARTICULAR AS THE MOON TRAVERSES THE EARTH S MAGNETOSPHERE TWO REGIONS WILL BE TARGETED: THE MOON INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE RESPECTIVELY. WE PLAN A ROBUST LABORATORY COMPONENT TO OUR STUDY. THE EFFECT OF RADIATION ON LUNAR SIMULANTS AND LUNAR SAMPLES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO DETERMINE SPACE WEATHERING EFFECTS INCLUDING HOW WATER CAN BE PRODUCED BY PROTON BOMBARDMENT. THE COHESIVE AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF LUNAR DUST WILL BE STUDIED WITH APPLICATION TO SPACESUIT MATERIALS AND INSTRUMENTS THAT WILL BE PLACED ON THE MOON. TO PERFORM THIS INTEGRATION ACROSS THEMES AND ACROSS THE TEAM LEADER WILL HOLD A SET OF FOCUSED STUDIES CALLED LEADER EXTREME ENVIRONMENT PROJECTS' (LEEP) THAT WILL EXAMINE THE ENVIRONMENT IN AN INTEGRATED WAY. THE FIRST LEEP STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE EFFECTS OF A BROAD RANGE OF LANDED MISSIONS ON THE FRAGILE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT. WE WILL STUDY THE EFFECT OF HUMAN ACTIVITY ON THE EXOSPHERE AND THE PLASMA ENVIRONMENT AND THE EFFECT OF INCREASED DUST ON HUMAN SYSTEMS. THE RADIATION TEAM WILL DETERMINE THE RADIATION ENVIRONMENT LIMITATIONS ON THE LENGTH OF TIME ASTRONAUTS CAN REMAIN ON THE LUNAR SURFACE AND AT THE LUNAR GATEWAY AND THE AMOUNT OF SHIELDING REQUIRED FOR HUMAN HABITATION UNDER DIFFERENT SOLAR WIND SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLE AND SOLAR CYCLE CONDITIONS. THE SECOND LEEP STUDY WILL EXAMINE THE EFFECT OF THE EARTH S GEOMAGNETIC TAIL ON THE VOLATILE AND PLASMA ENVIRONMENT EXOSPHERIC LOSS AND THE RADIATION ENVIRONMENT AT THE SURFACE. THESE LEEP STUDIES ARE DESIGNED TO PURPOSELY INTEGRATE THE TEAM ON A COMMON SUBJECT WITH THE SIMILAR CONDITIONS. LEADER HAS OVER 25 PUBLISHED ENVIRONMENTAL MODELS IN ITS TOOL CHEST FOR USE IN THE HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION STUDIES. IN THESE STUDIES WE WILL CONTINUE TO INTEGRATE INTERNS FROM HBCUS IN THE AREA AROUND GSFC AND CONTINUE OUR STRONG SUPPORT OF SSERVI-CENTRAL S EFFORT TO INTEGRATE ACROSS ALL TEAMS. LEADER WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS A NUMBER OF HEOMD STRATEGIC KNOWLEDGE GAPS INCLUDING THOSE ADDRESSING VOLATILE PROSPECTING AND ISRU THE REACTIVITY OF LUNAR DUST PLASMA CHARGING AND GROUNDING RADIATION SHIELDING AND RADIATION EFFECT ON HUMANS. | 2018-11-22 → 2026-03-31 | $825K |
