8-10 FAR Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Guest Investigator (NASA)
NASA's Office of Space Science solicits basic research proposals for participation
in the NASA program for space science observations and subsequent analysis
of the resultant data from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE).
The primary goal of the FUSE mission is the investigation of the nature
and physics of interstellar and intergalactic gas through the use of high-resolution
absorption spectroscopy of the far untraviolet emission of distant sources.
The FUSE Guest Investigator Program is intended to enhance the scientific
return from the mission and to allow a larger part of the astronomical
community to use FUSE to conduct independent investigations. NRA 98-OSS-02

8-11 Enabling Technologies for Micro Adaptive Flow Control (DOD)
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Tactical Technology
Office solicits proposals for research, development and demonstration of
Enabling Technologies for Micro Adaptive Flow Control (MAFC). MAFC is defined
as the ability to control the behavior of large scale flow fields by exploiting
natural flow response to small scale disturbances triggered by small scale
actuators. MAFC combines innovative actuator technologies with active flow
control strategies. The long term program goals are to: 1) develop and
validate enabling MAFC technologies, and 2) integrate MAFC technologies
into high pay-off, aero and hydro prototypical systems-level demonstrations.
Potential MAFC applications in four broad systems areas are of interest;
aircraft gas turbine engines, munitions, and maritime vehicles. BAA 98-19
