Introduction

At Extreme Space System Engineering Laboratory, we engineer systems for existence in extreme space environments.From microgravity to cryogenic conditions, our research advances technologies for launch vehicles and human space systems. 

Research

Cryogenic Systems and Thermofluid Phenomena

Cryogenic propellants, chill-down processes, thermal stratification, and heat transfer in extreme space environments.

Microgravity Thermofluid Physics

Fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, and phase-change phenomena under microgravity conditions.

Launch Vehicle Systems Engineering

Thermal, fluid, and propulsion-related systems for launch vehicles, including cryogenic feed systems and extreme operating conditions.

Human Space Systems Engineering

Engineering of space systems related to the human body, including thermal control, environmental systems, and survivability in extreme space environments.
