INNOVATION
Development of a modern neural control
system to separate oxygen and nitrogen in order to optimize the performance
of the Air Liquefaction and Enhancement System, (ALES) for a reusable
launch vehicle. This will allow the capture of oxygen during the
transitional flight into space for vehicles such as the X-33 and X-34.
The advantage of the system is that the spacecraft need not carry as
much oxygen aboard, thereby increasing the amount of payload into space

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- The neural control system has
been flight tested and performed as anticipated
|
COMMERCIALIZATION
- The sane process is being examined
for the manufacture of cryogenic gases
|
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE
APPLICATIONS
- Many neural control systems
using the concept developed in Phase II have been delivered to the
DoD for classified applications. Revenue generated is $ 1.4M
with follow-on contracts anticipated for future spacecraft
