Ion Molecule Chemistry for Propulsion Applications

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

Development of advanced propulsion for both terrestrial and orbital applications requires detailed knowledge of a host of chemical processes. For example, oxidation of highly desirable energetic materials such as aluminum and boron clusters limits their applicability as rocket and jet fuel additives. Broader chemical understanding of ionic propulsion technologies, both those currently employed as well as those in development, will lead to increased efficiency and capability of orbital maneuvering. Detailed kinetics of fundamental...

Grantor Contact InformationShaun Gerald Ard, Phone: 505 853 3254Grantor Emailshaun.ard.1@spaceforce.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
