Development and Evaluation of an Acoustic Microsensor for Space Application at the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center

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。传感器和执行器工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC） （BSAC）将开发一种声学微传感器，由I/UCRC应用聚合物（CAPRI）安装在空间应用的塑料和复合材料测试板上。位于加州大学伯克利分校的I/UCRC传感器和执行器将在其经验的基础上开发和评估一种先进的微声传感器，用于探测和监测低地球轨道上的空间粒子撞击。这些传感器将由凯斯西储大学的I/UCRC应用聚合物研究所安装在塑料和复合材料板上，以便在材料飞行实验载体MFLEX上进行太空飞行测试。研究人员是国际公认的科学家，完全有资格执行这个项目。项目经理建议加州大学伯克利分校在与凯斯西储大学的“TIE”项目中获得为期两年的5万美元奖励。

9521232 White 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 the University of California, Berkeley be awarded $50,000 for two years for this "TIE" project with Case Western Reserve University.
