The Technology for Future NASA Missions conference was held during the period September 12-13, 1988 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC. The conference provided industry and university executives programmatic and technical information on OAST space technology efforts. The conference was jointly sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. First day proceedings were devoted to programmatic discussions of CSTI,...

The problem addressed is force on an impurity due to electric current. In order to determine the size and direction of the force, as well as its dependence on the voltage, LCAO (Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals) and the Green's Function approach were implemented. The resultant induced mean force was directed outwards in addition to a smaller component in the electron flow direction. At low bias, force is larger for larger radius, and crosses over the opposite trend when increasing the...

On October 4. 1957, a truly history-making event took place—the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite. Less than a month later it was followed by Sputnik If, its younger but much bigger brother. The launching of the first sputnik was a great triumph of man over nature. Man had surmounted the physical barriers which have kept him out of cosmic space; he had overcome the force of gravity and the resistance of the atmosphere. However, there still...

On December 6 through 9, 1988, almost 400 researchers, technologists, and managers from U.S. companies, universities, and the government participated in the OAST IN-STEP 88 Workshop. The participants reviewed the current in-space technology flight experiments, identified and prioritized the technologies that are critical for future national space programs and that require verification or validation in space, and provided constructive feedback on the future plans for the In-Space Technology...

The High Capacity Cryocooler (HCC) provides large capacity cooling at both 35 K and 85 K for space applications in which focal planes and optics require cooling. The compressor is scaled from the High Energy Cryocooler (HEC) compressor and is capable of using input powers up to 700 W. The two linear pulse tube cold heads are integrated with the compressor into an integral cryocooler. A thermal strap between the cold heads improves efficiency and can be positioned to provide cooling for a wide...

This article explores the use of scenario analysis as a methodology to rigorously analyze potential space futures, particularly with respect to space security challenges, in the context of rapid and uncertain change across several dimensions of human space activities. The successful use of scenario analysis in other (e.g. corporate and military) sectors is described and results of an initial scenario analysis workshop are presented. Scenario analysis is recommended as a promising approach to...

Since a January 2001 Space Commission report highlighted the need to develop and maintain a space cadre, DoD has made limited progress on defensewide space cadre actions. DoD has fallen behind its implementation schedule for its February 2004 space human capital strategy. DoD's strategy implementation plan identified tasks on space personnel management, education and training, and critical positions. As of June 2005, DoD had completed three of the nine tasks scheduled for completion by March...

This paper reports the results of an international measurement round robin of monolithic, triple-junction, GaInP/GaAs/Ge space solar cells. Eight laboratories representing national labs, solar cell vendors and space solar cell consumers, measured cells using in-house reference cells and compared those results to measurements made where each lab used the same set of reference cells. The results show that most of the discrepancy between laboratories is likely due to the quality of the standard...

Self-contained mechanical reed gages, capable of measuring the displacement-shock spectrum over a frequency range of 3 to 300 cps in any one direction, were used during Shots Cactus and Koa. Canisters containing the gages were normally placed with their tops flush to the ground level at predicted pressure levels from 75 to 200 psi on both shots. Additional gages were installed in earth-confined arch structures of Project 3.2. Satisfactory records were obtained for both shots. Limited...

We present our ongoing development of a compact (1.5 liters) and high-performance (10(-14) at 10(4) s) laser-pumped rubidium clock for space applications like, e.g., satellite navigation systems (GALILEO). A compact laser head was developed that includes frequency stabilization of the pump light to a reference cell. Recent clock stability results obtained with this laser head reach 2*10(-13) at 1000s, limited mainly by residual cell temperature coefficients and light shift effects. We discuss...

A method of evaluating reliability of large scale rocket engines during a Research and Development Program prior to missile flight tests is presented. Reliability estimates are obtained even though the configuration of the engine is undergoing change and the objectives of test firings vary. Each engine is apportioned into Principal Subsystems which are screened for their degree of representation of the final configuration. The intention of each test firing is determined prior to the test and...

This hook is based mainly on materials published earlier by the writer, but emphasis is placed on problems connected with artificial satellites, the launching of which has marked the first step on mans way into interplanetary space. Investigation of the Earth and the space surrounding it by means of artificial satellites is an integral part of the programme of the International Geophysical Year (July 1957-December 1958) a scientific undertaking of extraordinary scope. All nations of the world,...
