The projects presented this year cover a wide range of environmental technologies. Engineers are developing effective methods of cleaning without the use of chlorofluorocarbons. Halon, used for fire suppression, is another environmentally damaging compound. The technology has been developed that allows Halon to be recovered after use, limiting the chance that damage will occur. Several development efforts are underway that address the safety and disposal aspects of the hazardous fuels used in launch vehicles and satellites.
Another area of interest is the geographical information required to make environmental decisions. A development is continuing to integrate geographical databases that provide easy access to the data used for planning purposes.
