  • Nasa Grant Ngr33-011-009 Final Technical Report
    NASA GRANT NGR33-011-009 FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE USE OF A YF-12 AIRCRAFT AS A SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT PLATFORM FOR OBSERVING THE 1970 SOLAR ECLIPSE Prepared for Headquarters National Aeronautics and Space Administration Washington, D. C. 20546 Robert D. Mercer Principal Investigator September 18, 1973 The Dudley Observatory 100 Fuller Road Albany, New York 12205 Abstract This is the Final Technical Report on NASA Grant NGR33-011-009 entitled, "Feasibility Study for the Use of a YF-12 Aircraft as a Scientific Instrument Platform for Observing the 1970 Solar Eclipse". The study was successfully completed in the fall of 1968 with a presentation to the Office of Solar Physics at NASA Headquarters and with the submittal of supporting scientific and technical reports. That information indicated that a YF-12 or SR-71 type aircraft could be instrumented with several cameras and a ten-inch, f/43.2 telescope feeding spectrographic and photometric systems for measurements of the solar corona and chromosphere. Spatial resolution radially across these regions as low as twenty-five kilometers might be achievable. Total time for observations could be as long as ninety minutes with most of that time spent above ninety percent or more of the atmosphere. A recommended schedule for aircraft instrumentation and flight check-out was given at the presentation in 1968. Representatives in the office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Research and Engineer- ing, who controls operations for these aircraft, tentatively approved these plans. No official costs were made available to the Principal Investigator (PI), but such an undertaking was acknowledged to be expensive with estimated costs in the one-to-six million dollar range.

The NASM is located in Southwest Washington, DC on the National Mall. The museum lies on a ten-acre site, bound by Jefferson Drive to the north, 4th Street to the east, 7th Street to the west, and Independence Avenue to the south. Designed by Gyo Obata, of Hellmuth Obata & Kassabaum (HOK) in a modern architectural style, the NASM opened in 1976 for the United States Bicentennial celebration. The NASM is a contributing building to the National Mall Historic District. The purpose of the project is to improve the visitor experience, protect museum collections, and allow the museum to better perform the mission for which it was created: “to commemorate the national development of aviation and spaceflight, educate and inspire the nation.” In order to address specific deficiencies caused by the value engineering strategies implemented during the original building construction, the SI is proposing to replace the building exterior envelope, including wall assembly, stone cladding, curtain walls, skylights roof systems; and major building systems (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, life safety, information technology and security).
