TO MEET THE CHALLENGES POSED BY NASA S PLANS TO FURTHER EXPLORE OUTER SPACE A LARGE BODY OF APPLIED SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING INVESTIGATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED TO ASSURE THE DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION AND DEMONSTRATION OF THE HIGHLY RELIABLE PERFORMANCE OF MYRIAD ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND UNIT OPERATIONS. THE ADVANCES MUST OCCUR ACROSS ALL SUBJECTS WITHIN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES DISCIPLINE BUT PERHAPS MOST POINTEDLY WITHIN THE FLUID PHYSICS SUB-DISCIPLINE. FROM LIQUID FUELS TO PROPELLANTS TO CRYOGENS TO COOLANTS TO WATER PROCESSES AND MANAGEMENT TO PLANT AND ANIMAL HABITATS AND OTHERS THE MANAGEMENT OF LIQUIDS WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF CONSTANT GRAVITATIONAL SEPARATION POSES SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES TO THE DESIGNERS OF SUCH SYSTEMS. IN THIS PROPOSED WORK WE SEEK TO APPLY THE RESULTS OF RECENT LOW-G CAPILLARY FLUIDICS RESEARCH PERFORMED IN PART ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY DRYDEN DROP TOWER TO DELIVER SOLUTIONS TO NASA FOR A VARIETY OF PRESSING NEEDS. THESE INCLUDE: (1) PASSIVE BIOFLUIDS MANAGEMENT (I.E. LOW-G PETRI DISHES) (2) WATER DELIVERY AND MANAGEMENT FOR PLANTS IN SPACE (3) IDEA STREAM AND SUPPORT FOR CROWD SOURCING PLANT ROOT WATER DELIVERY METHODS IN SPACE AS PART OF THE WORK AN APPLIED ENGINEERING RESEARCH TEAM OF GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS WILL BE FORMED AT PSU TO ESTABLISH LARGE DATABASES POPULATED BY HUNDREDS OF DROP TOWER TEST RESULTS. THE PI WILL CLOSELY DIRECT THE RESEARCH PROJECTS WITH SPECIFIC ENGINEERING OUTCOMES EXPECTED THAT CAN BE USED IMMEDIATELY FOR FURTHER DEMONSTRATION AND ADVANCED SYSTEM DESIGN. OPEN AND ROUTINE CONSULTATION WITH NASA WILL CREATE A DIRECT AND TIMELY PATH FOR INCREASED APPLICATION OF THE RESULTS. INCREASED TRL FOR A NUMBER OF PRIORITIZED LOW-G FLUID PHYSICS UNIT OPERATIONS IS THE TARGET DELIVERABLE FOR THIS EFFORT. THE QUANTITATIVE RESULTS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN APPLIED AEROSPACE JOURNALS AS WELL AS BE ORGANIZED FOR POSSIBLE UPLOAD TO NASA S PHYSICAL SCIENCE INFORMATICS PUBLIC DATA ARCHIVE: HTTP://PSI.NASA.GOV.
