The Poster sessions will include MNT applications for aeronautics, unmanned space (civilian and defense), and human space exploration, and will cover the following topics:

Novel MNT-based concepts

MNT-based systems promise what aerospace applications are looking for, namely, ultra-low mass, size, and power consumption.We are soliciting revolutionary MNT concepts that are applicable to aeronautics and space missions.

  • Fault tolerant, self-organizing and assembling, and self-healing materials
  • Devices and systems
  • Evolutionary design and operations, group intelligence and functions for nano- and pico-satellites
  • Swarms; MNT-based concepts for detection of life, energy, and waste management

Micro- and nano-structured materials

There is a need for new materials to meet the challenging requirements of next-generation air- and spacecraft, such as the hypersonic space plane and RLVs. Materials that have been engineered from the "bottom up" offer exciting new possibilities for these applications.

  • Impact on launch vehicles and autonomous maintenance
  • Nanotubes, nanowires, fullerenes, quantum dots
  • Clusters, nano- and micro-particles
  • Self-assembled nanomaterials
  • Nano- and microstructured surfaces and features
  • DNA, nano-biological and soft-materials
  • Mesoscale materials, nano- and microphase composite materials

Micro-nano-devices and systems

Considerable investment and effort has already gone into MEMS/NEMS (Micro/Nano Electro Mechanical Systems) for new sensors and actuators.We would like to encourage papers covering lessons learned in the development of MEMS/NEMS for aerospace.

  • Micro-nano-electronics and control systems, computing, and communication devices
  • MEMS/NEMS based micro-instrument
  • Fuel cells and energy storage devices
  • Rocket fuel and propellants
  • Micro/nanofluidic devices and biomolecular machines
  • Micropropulsion systems
  • Self-assembly and re-organization at the system level

Challenges with MNT-based system development

Transitioning innovative technologies from the laboratory to the manufacturing floor is not without its challenges. These challenges run the gamut from technological factors, to investment related factors, to psychological factors such as perception issues.

  • Various factors influencing the transition of innovative technologies from the laboratory to the manufacturing environment
  • MNT-enabled system architecture
  • Demonstrating long-term, stable operation
  • Methodology for retiring system level risk

Reliability considerations for MNT infusion in space missions

There is no question that reliability is of paramount importance for aerospace applications, more so for space missions since it is impossible in most cases to send a human to repair the problem. MNT has demonstrated that it has the inherent reliability required for space applications.

  • Challenges with demonstrating MNT-based system reliability in a laboratory environment
  • Challenges with demonstrating MNT-based system reliability in a relevant (aerospace) environment

Governmental and private investment into MNT-based systems and application development

Investment provides the lifeblood for initiating, maturing, and implementing new MNT-based systems. Perspectives from seasoned investors and program managers are invited, describing their expectations and experience in managing MNT development.

Coordinated international collaborations

MNT development, specifically for aerospace applications, is still in its infancy. To avoid wastage of resources and “re-inventing wheels,” it is critical that we bring together complementary core competencies from across international borders. Examples of existing collaborative projects that bring together complementary core competencies from across international borders are solicited.

End-user perspectives

The “customer” has the last word in whether a promising new technology will ever be implemented.The dominant cliché is that the customer does not care what’s in the “black box” as long as it delivers the required functionality in a cost-effective and reliable manner. Lessons learned by aerospace end users of MNT- based materials, devices, and systems are solicited.
