Task Description: |
Aims:
1. To develop food product parameters to meet nutritional, acceptability, stability, and suit interface criteria.
2. To test several concepts for dispensing liquid through a feed port into a pressurized suit.
AFT will receive energy requirements and nutritional requirements from HHC (Nutritional Biochemistry Laboratory). The food parameters that enable compatibility with the in-suit feeding system will be defined by interfacing with Crew Survival Systems (CSS). |
|
Rationale for HRP Directed Research: |
This research is directed because it contains highly constrained research, which requires focused and constrained data gathering and analysis that is more appropriately obtained through a non-competitive proposal. |
