Aerospace Technologies
Johnson Space Center is a primary NASA center for the design, development, and testing of spacecraft and associated systems for human spaceflight. Recent aerospace research and development has included docking mechanisms, simulation and analysis software, pilot safety equipment, inflatable vessels and habitats, cryogenic transport, and more.
Featured Technologies
-
Hypoxia Detection and Warning System
Researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed an innovative oxygen warning system capable of detecting and preventing oxygen deprivation, or hypoxia, in the user.
-
Flash Infrared Thermography Software
Researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed an effective, cost-efficient, infrared (IR) flash thermography software program capable of detecting anomalies, such as voids, cracks, and delamination, in composite and metallic structures.
-
NASA Aircraft Management Information System
Researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed a modular software suite that provides comprehensive, precise, real-time aircraft operations, maintenance, and logistics support.
More Available Technologies
-
Miniature Docking System Features Magnetic Elements for Alignment and Capture
Researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed a prototype miniaturized docking system for micro- and nano-class satellites.
-
Advanced Sublimator Reduces Contamination, Increases Reliability
Innovators at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have patented an advanced sublimator that can tolerate larger amounts of contamination than conventional sublimators. Sublimators are heat rejection devices that transfer heat from space vehicles by venting water vapor into space in order to maintain temperature control of the cabin and vehicle hardware.
-
Safely Transporting High-Pressure Gas Using Cryogenic Technology
Scientists at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed an alternative method to safely transport and transfer high-pressure gas used for recharging storage cylinders.
-
Using Capillary Action to Separate Liquid, Air Mixtures
Researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed a static phase separator that uses capillary action to separate a mixture of liquid and air into the two constituent phases. The invention accommodates highly variable liquid wetting characteristics, infeed concentrations of liquid, and mass flow ratios of liquid to air.
-
Multiple Considerations for Inflatable Shell Assembly, Stowage, Deployment
Innovators at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed an improved method of manufacturing, assembling, and folding a three-dimensional shell made from fabric into a compact form.
-
Concentric Nested Toroids Provide Flexibility to Inflatable Structures
Innovators at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed a design for an inflatable structure that employs concentric nested toroids to achieve multiple limited-height assemblies.
-
Octonode Integrates Multiple Mechanisms, Panels
Innovators at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed the Octonode, a 26-faced Great Rhombicuboctahedron Archimedean solid that allows easy integration of multiple docking mechanisms, hatches, windows, and external and internal systems via the use of flat surfaces.
-
Software Analyzes Load-Bearing Layers of Hybrid Inflatable Pressure Vessels
Innovators at NASA’s Johnson Space Center have developed simulation software for predicting and analyzing loads and elongations of elements of the load-bearing layer of an inflatable structure or module.
