The Rid the Rocket Challenge invites individuals, teams, and organizations to submit solutions for innovative ways to build a new chemical detection method that can be used by astronauts following space flight. The detection of Hydrazine/MMH is a critical safety procedure in space flight.
Floor23 will execute a three-phase (Concept, Prototype, and Demonstration) challenge and prizecompetition to meet NASA’s need for new screening methods to detect Hydrazine/MMH. It’s expected that this challenge yield, qualified solutions that will be tested at the NASA White Sands facility.
CHALLENGE GOAL: This project seeks new and innovative sample methods that can detect Hydrazine/Monomethyl hydrazine (MMH) via colorimetric analysis.
