T0147-P

Modal Propellant Gauging in Microgravity

PI: Kevin Crosby, Brant Carlson (Co-I), Carthage College

The Modal Propellant Gauging (MPG) experiment is designed to assess the mass gauging resolution of a novel implementation of experimental modal analysis (EMA). The central objectives of the MPG experiment are to (1) record the modal response of a model propellant tank at different fill-levels under unsettled, microgravity conditions, and (2) record the modal response of the propellant tank during simulated propellant transfer.

This work is a continuation of T0123.
