Technology Demonstration Missions
Evolvable Cryogenics (eCryo)
Project Description
eCryo leverages a multi-Center array of enhanced test facilities and new test rigs to mature cryogenic fluid management technologies that are supportive of future exploration propulsion needs and upgraded versions of the Space Launch System (SLS) - from components to entire systems, at a scale relevant to the envisioned applications. Specifically, eCryo will equip mission designers with the knowledge necessary to extend mission durations and increase mission payload capacity for space exploration systems employing cryogenic fluids.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Demonstrated eCryo technologies will equip mission designers with validated models to predict cryogenic fluid behavior for in-space missions and technologies to extend missions employing cryogenic fluids.
