NASA has awarded a team of Wisconsin researchers $500,000 to continue working on a system for refueling spacecraft in space.
Kevin Crosby is a professor of physics, astronomy and computer science at Carthage College, and director of the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium. He’s also a visiting senior scientist at NASA. Crosby and his team of students at Carthage have been working on microgravity ullage trapping, a method for increasing in-space refueling efficiency.
Crosby told WPR’s “Wisconsin Today” that the process is needed to make trips to the moon and Mars easier.
