Anthony Colozza Email & Phone Number

I have worked at the NASA Glenn Research Center as a support service contractor for the last 23 years on a variety of projects, with relevant experience in aerodynamics, power and propulsion systems, solar concentrators, aircraft design and heat transfer. This work mainly involves research engineering for both space based and terrestrial systems. This included analysis, design, experimentation and project management. The work has mainly focused on power and propulsion systems. Most recently the work has involved modeling the thermal and environmental conditions for various types of science spacecraft as part of the COMPASS team at NASA Glenn. Other recent work has included fuel cell thermal analysis, heat removal system design and experimentation, solar concentrator design and its application to lunar in-situ resource utilization. The design and construction of a 1 kw mobile PV power system which was utilized under NASA’s Desert RATS program. Providing the test plan and procedures for the testing of a mock-up of a thrust vector control system and the design and operation of the power system for the Deep Space Habitat operational mockup at Johnson Space Center. Additional work includes the development of solar power systems for terrestrial applications, the design of renewable fuel cell power systems, and high energy testing of flywheels. Also the design and analysis of aircraft power and propulsion systems including; high altitude aircraft, solar powered aircraft, Mars based aircraft, high altitude propeller analysis and design, fuel cell testing and development for aircraft applications and fuel cell powered aircraft analysis. I was also principle investigator on a NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Phase I and II project titled “Planetary Exploration Using Biomimetics”, principle investigator on a NIAC Phase I and II project titled “Solid State Aircraft”. Through these projects I have published more than 90 technical papers.

Listed skills include Spacecraft, Simulations, Testing, Space Systems, and 24 others.
