Industry-University Cooperative Research Center for Applied Polymers: Acoustic Microsensor for Space Applications

小行星9511516 该奖项为两个工业/大学合作研究中心之间的合作努力（“TIE”项目）提供资金。 传感器和致动器（BSAC）的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）将开发一种声学微传感器，由I/UCRC应用聚合物（卡普里）安装在空间应用的塑料和复合材料测试板上。 加州大学伯克利分校的I/UCRC传感器和致动器项目将利用其经验，开发和评价一种用于探测和监测近地轨道空间粒子撞击的先进微型声学传感器。 这些传感器将由凯斯西储大学的I/UCRC应用聚合物公司安装在塑料和复合材料面板上，用于材料飞行实验载体MFLEX上的太空飞行测试。 研究人员是国际公认的科学家，完全有资格执行这个项目。 项目经理建议凯斯西储大学与加州大学伯克利分校合作，在两年的时间里获得50，000美元的“TIE”项目。

9511516 Hiltner This award provides funding for a collaborative effort ("TIE" project) between two Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers. The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Sensors and Actuators (BSAC) will be developing an Acoustic Microsensor to be mounted on plastic and composite test panels for space applications by the I/UCRC for Applied Polymers (CAPRI). The I/UCRC for Sensors and Actuators at the University of California, Berkeley will build upon its experience to develop and evaluate an advanced micro-acoustic sensor for detecting and monitoring space particle impact in low earth orbit. The sensors will be mounted on plastic and composite panels by the I/UCRC for Applied Polymers at Case Western Reserve University for space flight tests on the materials flight experiment carrier, MFLEX. The researchers are internationally recognized scientists and are well qualified to perform this project. The Program Manager recommends Case Western Reserve University be awarded $50,000 for two years for this "TIE" project with the University of California, Berkeley.
