Contract DescriptionTHE ADVANCED SPACE SUIT CARRIES CONSUMABLE COOLING WATER MAINTAINED AT AMBIENT PRESSURE WITHIN A SOFT-WALLED, FLEXIBLE RESERVOIR. TO ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED THERMAL CONTROL IT IS CRITICAL TO MONITOR THE VOLUME OF WATER REMAINING, BUT NO KNOWN SENSOR IS SUITABLE FOR THIS TASK. EXISTING MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES ARE UNACCEPTABLY SENSITIVE TO THE MOTION AND VARYING GEOMETRY OF THE RESERVOIR IN MICROGRAVITY, OR TO ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE WITHIN THE SUIT ENVIRONMENT. WE HAVE DEVELOPED A SIMPLE, COMPACT, LOW POWER SENSOR THAT ACCURATELY MEASURES THE VOLUME OF FLUID IN ANY SOFT-WALLED BLADDER. OUR INNOVATIVE SENSING TECHNIQUE WILL PROVIDE AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT THAT IS INSENSITIVE TO GRAVITY, THE MOTION AND GEOMETRY OF THE RESERVOIR, THE PRESENCE OF AIR POCKETS, AND ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE. WE WILL DEVELOP A FULLY INTEGRATED SENSOR SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR USE ON THE ADVANCED SPACE SUIT AND PERFORM FUNCTIONAL VALIDATION AND SPACEFLIGHT QUALIFICATION TESTING.
