Responsibilities
The selected candidate will bring their Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) expertise to NASA programs such as the Human Lander System (HLS) and Fission Surface Power (FSP) projects, which will include the following support:
HLS Insight Risk Reduction Activities, including work with Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel (COPV) operating pressure increases, thermal / fluid analyses in Gasifier Feed Tanks, and thermal / fluid analyses for Turbo-Gasifier development
Work with the NASA Technical Monitor and the HLS team which includes thermal, structures, and systems engineering team members
Analysis and updates will need performed on the conceptual design for tank internal systems
Assist with the tracking of cryogenic fluid and gas propellant inventories within the propellant tanks
The selected candidate will also provide thermal analysis support to the Fission Surface Power (FSP) Technology Development project under the Technology Demonstration Mission (TDM) program
