<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">NASA is taking steps to begin the next era of exploration, to push the boundaries of human exploration forward to the Moon and on to Mars. As we carry heavier loads farther into space, rockets
require more thrust. Cryogenic propellants are the best option to achieve this thrust.
</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Liquid hydrogen and other cryogenic propellants must be kept at extremely cold temperatures, ranging from -243°F to -423°F. Any outside energy threatens to raise the temperature of the fuel and cause
it to evaporate, reducing the efficiency of the rocket. NASA’s Evolvable Cryogenics project (eCryo) is managed by NASA Glenn and works to combat this problem with a variety of techniques, including reflective multilayer insulation and vapor cooling channels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<i>Keep It Cool</i> that guides students through the engineering design process. They must design, test, and improve systems to maintain cold temperatures within a simulated cryogenic propellant tank. This solicitation is requesting proposals to implement the
engineering design challenge: <i>Keep It Cool</i> with students in grades 5-9.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
