Ground-Breaking Technology for Cryogenic Cooling

Ground-Breaking Technology for Cryogenic Cooling

Creare has developed and demonstrated a high-efficiency, high-capacity reverse-Brayton cryocooler for zero-boil-off storage and liquefaction of hydrogen at 20 K.  Our cooler provides over ten times more refrigeration at 20K than competing coolers and is a key enabling technology for future space exploration missions.  Our paper at the 2020 International Cryocooler Conference describes this ground-breaking […]

Creare Award from NASA Flight Opportunities Program

Creare Award from NASA Flight Opportunities Program

Creare has developed an innovative device that will enable reliable and efficient transfer of cryogenic rocket propellant in microgravity. Propellant transfer is a key technology needed to support future space exploration missions. Our screened channel liquid acquisition device enables rapid transfer of cryogenic liquids across a wide range of operating conditions while preventing vapor ingestion […]

ARPA-E Funds Development of Innovative CO2 Capture Technology

ARPA-E Funds Development of Innovative CO2 Capture Technology

Creare has developed an innovative method to produce high-performance heat and mass exchangers using low-cost, additive manufacturing. The Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) has awarded Creare a contract to use this technology for direct capture of CO2 from atmospheric air. In this project we will demonstrate by test that our low-cost exchanger cores […]

Innovative Creare Drones Presented to American Geophysical Union

Innovative Creare Drones Presented to American Geophysical Union

The Centennial American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference in San Francisco attracted nearly 30,000 attendees from a broad range of earth and space sciences backgrounds. The AGU conference provides a venue for academics, government, and industry to present science research and related technology to the larger earth sciences community. Creare presented two posters at the conference […]

Fastener Measurement Tool Reduces Cost of F-35 Production

Fastener Measurement Tool Reduces Cost of F-35 Production

To achieve effective stealth performance, the outer surfaces of advanced military aircraft must be very smooth. The surface panels are attached with more than 40,000 threaded fasteners. Accurate measurement of the fastener depth profile at different stages of manufacturing is therefore critical. Existing measurement methods are unable to provide the required accuracy and speed, are […]

A Salute to Apollo 11

A Salute to Apollo 11

Creare joins the rest of America to salute the Apollo 11 astronauts, the Apollo program, and indeed the entire NASA manned space program, for their momentous achievements. Fifty years ago today (July 20), astronaut Neil Armstrong uttered those now famous words as he became the first human to set foot on the moon, “That’s one […]
