Present an overview of the Nanotechnology Project at NASA's Game Changing Technology Industry Day. Mature and demonstrate flight readiness of CNT reinforced composites for future NASA mission applicationsSounding rocket test in a multiexperiment payloadIntegrate into cold gas thruster system as propellant storageThe technology would provide the means for reduced COPV mass and improved damage tolerance and flight qualify CNT reinforced composites. PROBLEM/NEED BEING ADDRESSED:Reduce weight and enhance the performance and damage tolerance of aerospace structuresGAME-CHANGING SOLUTION:Improve mechanical properties of CNTs to eventually replace CFRP –lighter and strongerFirst flight-testing of a CNT reinforced composite structural component as part of an operational flight systemUNIQUENESS:CNT manufacturing methods developedFlight qualify CNT reinforced composites
