Research abstract
THIS EFFORT INVOLVES DEVELOPMENT OF FIBER-OPTIC CABLE FEEDTHROUGH AND SEALING FOR SENSOR AND MULTIPLEXED FIBER-OPTIC DATA BUS CONCEPTS IN CRYOGENIC LIQUID-PROPULSION SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTS. THIS DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES ASSESSING CURRENT SEALING MATERIAL AND TECHNIQUES TO SEE IF THEY MEET CRYOGENIC LIQUID PROPULSION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS; DEVISING A NEW METHOD TO CONSTRUCT THE HERMETIC SEAL, FIBER-OPTIC FEEDTHROUGH; AND DEVELOPING A METHOD TO INCREASE THE FIBER-OPTIC BACKSHELL'S ABILITY TO SURVIVE IN PROPULSION-SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTS.
