IGF::OT::IGF THIS SBIR WILL SUPPORT ROVER LOCOMOTION AND MANIPULATION WITH A SYSTEM OF NEWLY-DEVELOPED PENNY-SIZED 70-W BRUSHLESS SERVOMOTOR CONTROLLERS THAT ARE NETWORKED ON A BUS-TOPOLOGY (CANOPEN DS-402 PROTOCOL). EACH "P3" CONTROLLER IS SMALL ENOUGH TO BE MOUNTED IN THE TINY VOLUME NORMALLY RESERVED FOR THE ENCODER; AND, INDEED, EACH P3 CARRIES THE ENTIRE ACTIVE ELECTRONICS OF THE ENCODER FUNCTION BY MEASURING THE MAGNETIC FIELD OF A 6X2.5-MM RADIALLY-POLARIZED BUTTON MAGNET BONDED TO THE TAIL OF THE SPINNING MOTOR SHAFT. A KALMAN FILTER ENABLES THE ENCODER TO READ DOWN TO 12-BITS-ABSOLUTE AT COMMUTATED SPEEDS UP TO 14,000 RPM. THE CONTROLLER HAS THE FUNCTIONS EXPECTED OF CONVENTIONAL CONTROLLERS. HOWEVER, BASED ON THREE PATENTS OF INTERNATIONAL SCOPE AND A FOURTH PCT APPLICATION, THE PART COUNT HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED, WITH SUBSEQUENT REDUCED SIZE, FEWER SENSITIVITIES TO RADIATION, FEWER PARTS THAT OTHERWISE GENERATE QUIESCENT POWER, AND REDUCED COST. PHASE I DEMONSTRATED SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION WITH NASA-SELECTED MOTORS AND STRESS-TESTING OF P3 IN ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING TEMPERATURE EXTREMES, VIBRATION, AND VACUUM, RESULTING IN A TRL-ADVANCE FROM 3 TO 4. PHASE-II EFFORTS WILL FOCUS ON DESIGN-MODIFICATIONS RELEVANT TO SPACEQUALIFICATION, PERFORMANCE CHARACTERIZATION, AND FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING INCLUDING RADIATION TESTING. PHASE II IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A TRL OF 6. PHASE-III COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS WILL CREATE A SYSTEM OF MOTOR CONTROLLERS THAT NOT ONLY SUPPORT NASA ROVER MISSIONS WITH A TRL OF 7, BUT ALSO SUPPORT OTHER SPACE-BASED NON-TERRESTRIAL APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS SERVOMOTOR ACTUATION ON SATELLITES FOR PRECISION ANTENNAE AND LASER POINTING AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF ARTICULATED STRUCTURES.

THE GOAL OF OUR NANOSCALE TEST STRIPS, OR NANOSTRIPS, IS TO PROVIDE RAPID, LOW-COST, POWERFUL MULTIPLEXED ANALYSES IN A DIMINUTIVE FORM SO THAT WHOLE BODY HEALTH CHECKS CAN BE PERFORMED ON A SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD. THE APPROACH IS CONCEPTUALLY SIMILAR TO PH OR URINALYSIS TEST STRIPS WHICH ALLOW MULTIPLEXED MEASUREMENTS IN A LINEAR FORMAT. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TEST STRIPS AT THE NANOSCALE, SHRUNK IN SIZE OVER A BILLION-FOLD IN VOLUME, ALLOWING MULTIPLE SENSING ELEMENTS TO BE INCLUDED IN A TINY AREA. IN PHASE I, WE FABRICATED, TESTED, AND DEMONSTRATED FUNCTIONAL PARATHYROID HORMONE AND VITAMIN D NANOSTRIPS FOR BONE METABOLISM. FURTHERMORE, WE DEVELOPED THROMBIN APTAMER AND IMMUNE IGG ANTIBODY NANOSTRIPS. FOR PHASE II, WE WILL DEVELOP A BREADTH OF NANOSTRIPS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS KEY SPACE-FLIGHT MEDICAL NEEDS. THESE WILL BE FOR ASSESSMENT OF BONE METABOLISM, IMMUNE RESPONSE, CARDIAC STATUS, LIVER METABOLISM, AND LIPID PROFILES. WE PLAN TO ENHANCE OUR TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITIES BY DEVELOPING A RAPID NANOSTRIP ASSAY CAPABILITY, MIX-AND-RUN ASSAY CAPABILITY, IN-HOUSE APTAMER PRODUCTION, ADVANCED LYOPHILIZATION TECHNOLOGY, AND NANOSTRIP ACCELERATED STABILITY TESTS. THE NANOSTRIPS WILL BE READ OUT IN A TIME-OF-FLIGHT FLOW-BASED MANNER UTILIZING OUR RHEALTH SENSOR.
