NASA has selected 49 researchers to receive grants totaling
approximately $20 million to conduct microgravity combustion research. Forty-one of the grants are to conduct ground-based research, while the remaining eight are flight definition efforts. Eighteen of these grants are for continuation of work being funded by NASA, but most (31) represent new research efforts.
The investigators will have NASA's microgravity research
facilities such as drop-tubes, drop-towers, aircraft flying parabolic trajectories, and sounding rockets at their disposal. The flight-definition investigators will work toward experiments on a space-flight test bed. Sponsored by NASA¹s Office of Life and Microgravity Science and Applications, this research offers investigators the opportunity to take advantage of a low-gravity environment to improve understanding of fundamental physical and chemical processes associated with combustion.
NASA received 155 responses to its research announcement.
These proposals were all peer-reviewed by scientific and technical experts from academia, government and industry. In addition, those proposals selected for flight definition were reviewed in terms of engineering feasibility by a team from NASA's Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, OH.
