The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seeks partners interested in the commercial application of the Polyimide Wire Insulation Repair System technology. NASAs Kennedy Space Center is offering companies licensing for this innovative wire repair technology.
The Polyimide Wire Insulation Repair System is a kit consisting of thin film polyimide patches,
Researchers at NASA Kennedy Space Centers (KSC) Corrosion Technology Laboratory have developed a smart, environmentally friendly coating system for early detection and inhibition of corrosion and self-healing of mechanical damage without external intervention. This coating will have the inherent ability to detect the onset of corrosion in the coated substrate and respond autonomously to control it.
Our team is currently working on the development of a new concept concentric rotary engine. The technology we are developing is a novel approach of the internal combustion engines (ICEs) and, based on the CFD modeling and analysis,
