| Abstract Scope |
The NASA Science Mission Directorate funded MOVE: CAN-DO to explore what useful scientific output can come from opportunistic collaborations. In our first attempt we’re partnering with Cislunar Industries. For risk reduction for their Modular Space Foundry concept, Cislunar Industries casts engineering alloys in hardware designed to test orbital hardware on parabolic flights. The MOVE: CAN-DO project works with Cislunar Industries to complete an additional flight day to cast alloys like those previously cast in NASA physical science experiments including CETSOL and MiCAST. Using the diagnostic capabilities of the Marshall Space Flight Center and Cislunar hardware, the MOVE: CAN-DO project aims to generate an engineering dataset from samples cast in microgravity for validation of advanced Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) models. |
