4/7/94: NASA ANNOUNCES MICROGRAVITY RESEARCH GRANTS Michael Braukus Headquarters, Washington, D.C. April 7, 1994 RELEASE: 94-58 NASA has selected 39 researchers to receive 3- to 4-year grants for microgravity combustion research totaling more than $13 million. Thirty-three of the grants are for Earth ground- based research, while the remaining six are flight definition efforts. Sponsored by NASAUs Office of Life and Microgravity Science and Applications, Headquarters, Washington, D.C., this research offers investigators the opportunity to take advantage of a low-gravity Earth environment to improve understanding of fundamental physical and chemical processes associated with combustion phenomena which often are masked by normal gravity conditions. Understanding how combustion occurs in the microgravity environment of spaceflight may increase knowledge of how flames spread on Earth and may contribute to improvements in all types of fire safety and control equipment. It also may contribute to the development of more efficient and environmentally-safe world fuel resources. The investigators will have NASAUs microgravity research facilities -- drop-tubes, drop-towers, aircraft flying parabolic trajectories and sounding rockets -- at their disposal. The flight-definition investigators' work eventually may lead to flight experiments in low-Earth orbit NASA received 98 proposals in response to its microgravity research announcement. These proposals were peer- reviewed by non-NASA scientific and technical experts. In addition, those proposals selected for flight definition were reviewed for engineering feasibility by a team from NASA's Lewis Research Center, Cleveland. - end - Microgravity Combustion Grant Recipients By State: California Dr. Paul D.
