Abstract
The monitoring of chemical species is an important component of an overall health monitoring system for space vehicles. Three areas of interest are fuel leak detection, fire detection, and emission monitoring. This paper reviews the microfabricated chemical sensor technology being developed to address the needs of these very different applications. This development utilizes MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) based technology, nanomaterials, and high temperature Silicon Carbide semiconductors. Application of these sensors on, for example, the Space Shuttle is discussed.
