The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland has issued a request for information (RFI) to gather industry input on the development of a test facility dedicated to advancing hydrogen technology for aeronautic applications. This effort is part of NASA's Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Program (TACP) under the Convergent Aeronautics Solutions (CAS) project. The goal of the initiative is to assess the feasibility and industry interest in collaborating on a cryogenic hydrogen testing facility to support sustainable aviation. NASA aims to leverage its expertise to boost hydrogen as a viable energy carrier for aeronautics and other transportation sectors. The agency recognizes the importance of a dedicated facility for cryogenic hydrogen testing, which could fill existing research and technology development gaps. It is seeking responses from industry, academia, and government agencies to understand the requirements for such a facility, including testing procedures, material limitations, infrastructure needs, safety standards, and workforce training. Interested parties are required to submit their responses in PDF format, limited to 10 pages, by February 28, 2025. NASA is specifically interested in feedback on cryogenic hydrogen testing capabilities, future requirements, and operational scalability. The agency aims to establish standards for safe operations, cost-effective testing, and educational partnerships.
