Renovated rocket lab at Purdue is ‘national resource’

By Emil Venere - Purdue News Service

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University has completed major renovations to a one-of-a-kind propulsion facility and has begun full-scale laboratory testing in research that includes work to develop engines for NASA’s next-generation space shuttle.

Engineers working in the High Pressure Laboratory, one of six facilities at Purdue’s Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories, will per- form research sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army, other federal agencies and aerospace companies, said Stephen Heister, a professor in Purdue's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

A pulse detonation engine is fired at the Zucrow propulsion lab. “It’s the most comprehensive and most capable university propulsion facility in which to test engines at higher pressures “By the time our students begin their Purdue began rebuilding the lab two years and thrust levels,” said Heister, who has professional careers, they will already ago, when it received a $1 million, two- led efforts to refurbish the lab. have seen their designs transformed into year grant from the Indiana 21st Century experimental hardware and see how their Research and Technology Fund, estab- Rocket tests began in June. analyses compare to actual results.

5 L-R Danny Rodriguez; Jim Nolan; Jen Watson; 15TH ANNUAL RUBE Stephanie King GOLDBERG CONTEST KICKS OFF ENGINEERING WEEK

Purdue celebrates Engineering Week

In collaboration between engineering sorority Phi Sigma Rho and engineer- ing fraternity Theta Tau, a Purdue University engineering team brought the Rube Goldberg Trophy back home on Saturday April 12, 2003 in the 15th annual national Rube Goldberg competition. School of Aeronautics & Astronautics junior Jen Watson, mechanical engineering junior Jim Nolan; Greg Franzer from chemical engineering; Stephanie King a civil engineering senior; Danny Rodriguez from industrial engineering and Ashley Mordasky from civil and environmen- tal engineering; built a machine that used 34 steps to select, crush and pitch a 12-ounce aluminum can into a recycling bin. The theme was “Purdue Sports” and their machine has two levels, one decorated as a Purdue football field and the other as a Purdue basketball court. Following this win, the team, sporting Purdue University T-Shirts, then appeared on the David Letterman show on May 7, 2003, where their machine worked first time. EUGENE A. CERNAN (CAPTAIN, USN, RET.) Engineering week culminated with the Western Society of Engineers’ Chicagoland Engineering Awards Benefit on Friday February 21, 2003 in Chicago. The society presented the 90th Washington Award to Purdue alumnus and astronaut Eugene A. Cernan EE ’56. He received the award “for demonstrating human’s capacity for space flight and performance on the moon.” Cernan credited Purdue University with giving him an education that put him head and shoul- ders above much of the competition. As pilot of the June 1966 Gemini IX mission, Eugene Cernan became the second American to walk in space. He was lunar module pilot on his second mission of Apollo 10 in May 1969. This mission confirmed the operations performance and descended to within 8 miles of the lunar surface before returning to the command module. Cernan’s last flight as spacecraft commander of Apollo 17 in 1972 saw the final manned lunar landing to date. From the lunar base of operations at Taurus-Littrow, three highly successful excursions to nearby craters and the Taurus Mountains were completed. Cernan’s footprints are the last left on the lunar surface, along with a plaque that reads, “Here Man Completed His First Exploration of the Moon. December 1972 A.D.

The initiative to create a new graphic image for Purdue was led by Purdue President Martin Jischke who says the image was designed to enhance the University’s brand recognition and to reinforce the connection between the Purdue name and its worldwide reputation for excellence. “I believe that a unique and attractive image present- ed across all media will have a positive effect on all our endeavors, including recruitment of students, faculty and staff, govern–metal relations, public relations, private fund raising and sponsored program activity.” The look will be consistent and the words Purdue University is now on all printed materials, stationary, signage and on other media.

Prof. Mario A. Rotea and former graduate student Fernando D’Amato have developed a software tool that is more than 100 times faster than other programs used by engineers to improve jet engine designs. The software analyzes engine models and quickly extracts information that indicates where the design is mechanically sound.

Rotea presented his new findings in a paper entitled “New Tools of Analysis and Optimization of Mistuned Bladed Disks” in July 2002 during the 38th Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit in Indianapolis and also during the 15th World Congress on Automatic Control in Barcelona, Spain.

Engine designers use computer models to test designs before actually building an engine. The models predict how the multitude of critical engine parts will react to factors such as wear or damage and manufacturing variations. The software developed is based on an “optimization algorithm” which is a step–by step procedure for solving a mathematical problem. This algorithm calculates the worst-case vibration level of the blades due to variations in mechanical problems.

The work was funded by the National Science Foundation and by private industry. 2002-2003

Fall Space VIP Guest Colonel John H. Casper

A living piece of Purdue University astronautical history provided a glimpse to over two hundred seventy elementary students about the current status and the future of the International Space Station. Casper and his wife Mrs. Beth Casper were the VIP guests of the 7th annual Purdue Fall Space Day organized by the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics and the Purdue chapter for Students for Exploration and Development of Space. (SEDS) Student Director Gina Pieri chose this year’s Fall Space Day theme from astronaut Christa McAuliffe’s quote of December 6, 1987: “It’s everybody’s business to know about space.” Col. John H. Casper, who graduated from Purdue in 1967 with a master’s degree in astronautics, has flown aboard four space shuttle missions’ beginning in 1990. Casper has logged Col. John H. Casper over 825 hours in space. photo courtesy of NASA.

students, “I want to encourage all the young folks here if you’re thinking, ‘What do I want to do with my life?’ I would challenge you to come for the space program,” said Casper, “When I was eight years old, it was my dream.

Bryon Dispennett & Kayla Schultz welcome the students.

Purdue Fall Space Day 2003 is planned for Saturday October 25, 2003 with honored guest VIP Col. John E. Blaha.

Mrs. Beth Casper lends a hand.

(And) it’s where the future is.” Both Col. & Mrs. Casper enthusiastically took part in the activities and were very generous with their time and encouragement to the both the elementary and Purdue students. Purdue Fall Space Day was sponsored by the Indiana Space Grant Consortium; Pratt & Whitney; Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS); the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA); and the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics.
