    Summary
    Physics of a new low power electrothermal radiofrequency plasma thruster. Electric propulsion is the new wave of attitude control for spacecraft. Space engines must be small, lightweight and able to run unattended for over 20 years in a very harsh environment. The physics of a new electrothermal radiofrequency plasma thruster will be investigated. Neutral gas heating will be initially quantified by optical spectroscopy combined with computer generated simulated spectra. A space ready prototype w .... Physics of a new low power electrothermal radiofrequency plasma thruster. Electric propulsion is the new wave of attitude control for spacecraft. Space engines must be small, lightweight and able to run unattended for over 20 years in a very harsh environment. The physics of a new electrothermal radiofrequency plasma thruster will be investigated. Neutral gas heating will be initially quantified by optical spectroscopy combined with computer generated simulated spectra. A space ready prototype will be designed, manufactured and developed to carry out direct measurements of thrust and gas heating in our large space simulation vacuum facility.

    Funding Amount
    $907,000.00
    Summary
    Advanced materials for space propulsion: satellites and cubesats. Poorly controlled interactions between plasmas and surfaces often mean loss of process efficiency and surface degradation over time. For Hall thrusters, a type of engine used to move satellites in space, this means increased fuel consumption and shorter useful life. Through modelling and experiment, this project will show how intelligent selection of advanced materials and plasma parameters can minimise surface wear, enable in sit .... Advanced materials for space propulsion: satellites and cubesats. Poorly controlled interactions between plasmas and surfaces often mean loss of process efficiency and surface degradation over time. For Hall thrusters, a type of engine used to move satellites in space, this means increased fuel consumption and shorter useful life. Through modelling and experiment, this project will show how intelligent selection of advanced materials and plasma parameters can minimise surface wear, enable in situ material repair to extend device lifetime, and modulate plasma properties to increase thruster efficiency for a given task. These benefits enable reliable propulsion platforms for massive communication and observation satellite networks and deep space exploration.

    Summary
    Plasma-soft tissue interactions: advancing a new era of plasma technologies. This project aims to develop the prerequisite knowledge to underpin new plasma technologies. Specifically, the project plans to provide new insight into the interaction between ionised gas plasma jets and biological soft tissue. It plans to use advanced analytical techniques and modelling simulations to investigate the physics of the plasma jet and processes occurring at the jet–tissue interface. It also plans to use (b .... Plasma-soft tissue interactions: advancing a new era of plasma technologies. This project aims to develop the prerequisite knowledge to underpin new plasma technologies. Specifically, the project plans to provide new insight into the interaction between ionised gas plasma jets and biological soft tissue. It plans to use advanced analytical techniques and modelling simulations to investigate the physics of the plasma jet and processes occurring at the jet–tissue interface. It also plans to use (bio)engineered tissue targets, chemical, biological and cellular assays to probe the transport and effects of plasma reactive species deep within tissue. This new knowledge would enable the development of new plasma sources and protocols for applications in health, medicine, biotechnology and manufacturing.

    Summary
    Nanoscale control of energy and matter for future energy-efficient technologies. Unprecedented control of energy and matter in nanoscale fabrication will be achieved using non-equilibrium self-organised plasma-solid systems. The outcomes will lead to energy-efficient, environment- and human-health-friendly production of nanomaterials for future energy, health, information, food, water, environmental and security technologies.
