  MAKEL ENGINEERING, INC. (MEI) PROPOSES TO DEVELOP HIGH TEMPERATURE, SOLID STATE SENSORS TO MONITOR CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) AND NITROGEN (N2) IN THE VENUS ATMOSPHERE. A HARSH ENVIRONMENT CHEMICAL SENSOR ARRAY SUITABLE FOR MEASURING KEY TRACE SPECIES IN THE VENUS ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY MEI UNDER A RECENT SBIR PROGRAM. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO DEMONSTRATED CHEMICAL MICROSENSORS SUITABLE TO MEASURE THE TWO MOST ABUNDANT SPECIES (CO2 ~ 97% AND N2~ 3%) IN THE VENUS ATMOSPHERE AT HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS (CO2 AND N2 EXIST AS SUPERCRITICAL FLUIDS NEAR VENUS SURFACE). THE PROPOSED AMPEROMETRIC AND POTENTIOMETRIC SENSORS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH SILICON CARBIDE (SIC) ELECTRONICS UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR VENUS CHEMICAL SENSING INSTRUMENTS, COMPLEMENTING RECENT AND ONGOING EFFORTS TO SUPPORT VENUS ATMOSPHERIC ANALYSIS. FUTURE MISSIONS WHICH MAY DESCENT THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE AND OPERATE ON THE SURFACE OF VENUS MEASURING THE COMPOSITION OF THE ATMOSPHERE WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS NEW CAPABILITY TO ACCURATELY MEASURE SMALL VARIATIONS OF N2 AND CO2 CONCENTRATION.

• NNX16CS02C$755K

  IGF::OT::IGF MAKEL ENGINEERING, INC. PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A MINIATURIZED MULTI-SPECIES CHEMICAL MICROSENSOR INSTRUMENT SUITABLE FOR REAL-TIME, IN SITU MEASUREMENTS OF HYDROGEN, OXYGEN, WATER VAPOR AND MIXTURE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY FOR MONITORING PURGE EFFECTIVENESS IN CRYOGENIC PROPELLANT LINES. HELIUM IS A SCARCE, STRATEGIC AND NON-RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCE. NASA IS A MAJOR USER OF HELIUM AND SIGNIFICANT FUTURE COST SAVINGS IN OPERATIONS CAN BE REALIZED WITH IMPROVED MONITORING OF PURGE ACTIVITIES. WITHOUT REAL TIME MEASUREMENT OF SPECIES BEING PURGED FROM SYSTEMS, EXTENDED PURGE CYCLES AND EXCESS HELIUM IS USED TO ENSURE COMPLETELY PURGED LINES. THE PROPOSED SENSOR SYSTEM WILL INCORPORATE THE REQUIRED MICROSENSORS IN A COMPACT PROBE TO ENABLE MULTI-PARAMETER MONITORING IN A SINGLE MEASUREMENT PORT. THE SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED TO BE PERMANENTLY INSTALLED IN PURGE AND VENT LINES AT CRYOGENIC PROPELLANT STORAGE, TRANSFER, TEST STAND AND LAUNCH FACILITIES. THIS PROGRAM WILL ADAPT LOW COST AND LOW POWER CHEMICAL MICROSENSOR TECHNOLOGY WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED FOR LEAK DETECTION APPLICATIONS AND RECENTLY BEEN DEMONSTRATED IN PROOF OF CONCEPT CRYOGENIC VENT TESTS AT NASA TO DEVELOP A LOW COST, ROBUST INTEGRATED SENSOR PROBE AND ELECTRONICS WITH DATA INTERFACES SUITABLE FOR REAL TIME MONITORING AND CONTROL HELIUM PURGE SEQUENCES TO MINIMIZE OVERALL HELIUM USAGE.

  IGF::OT::IGF MAKEL ENGINEERING, INC. (MEI) WORKING WITH OZARK INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, INC (OZIC) AND UNITED SILICON CARBIDE, INC. (USCI) WILL DEVELOP A HIGH TEMPERATURE SIC ELECTRONICS TO SUPPORT CHEMICAL MICROSENSORS FOR MEASURING THE ATMOSPHERE OF VENUS AT THE SURFACE FOR EXTENDED DURATIONS (100'S OF DAYS). THE CHEMICAL SENSOR ARRAY FOR MEASURING SPECIES AT THE SURFACE OF VENUS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY MEI. THE VENUS MICROSENSOR CHEMICAL ARRAY CAN OPERATE IN A 500 C ENVIRONMENT, BUT CURRENTLY RELIES ON SILICON BASED ELECTRONICS FOR SIGNAL ACQUISITION, CONTROL, AND DATA TRANSMISSION. THESE ELECTRONICS REQUIRE COOLING FOR A VENUS MISSION. OUR PHASE I PROGRAM DEFINED APPROACHES FOR THE USE SIC ELECTRONICS TO PERFORM THE CONTROL AND SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION FUNCTIONS. A VENUS IN-SITU ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT PACKAGE (VIAMIP) WAS DEFINED BASED ON SIC ASICS. IN PHASE II, MEI AND OZIC WILL DEVELOP ASIC DESIGNS COMPATIBLE WITH THE NASA'S SIC PROCESS FLOW. IN PARALLEL, MEI AND USCI WILL UNDERTAKE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF DESIGNS ADAPTED FOR USCI?S SIC PROCESS TO ESTABLISH A COMMERCIAL SOURCE FOR SIC ASICS FOR THE VIAMIP AND TO EXPANDED THE USES OF HIGH TEMPERATURE MICROSENSORS.
