As we address the challenges facing human deep space exploration, we advance new technologies and applications here on Earth, expand scientific knowledge and discov- ery, create new economic opportunities, and con- tinue to lead global space exploration. Our investments in technology not only support NASA’s current missions, but also enable new mis- sions and scientific pursuits. Some of these projects will lead to a sustainable in-space architecture for human space exploration, such as developing and testing cutting-edge propulsion solutions for space- craft and landers for the journey to Mars. Others are working on technologies that could support deep space habitats, which will enable humans to safely live and work in deep space and on the surface of Mars and other destinations across the solar system. Still others are developing new scientific instruments capable of providing an unprecedented glimpse into the early universe. Our work is driven by the greater purpose of scien- tific progress and discovery. While each project in this report seeks to advance new technology and challenge orthodoxies, it is important to recognize the diversity of activities supporting our mission. This report underscores the Center’s capabilities and highlights the prog- ress achieved over this past year. These scientists, researchers and innovators are why NASA will con- tinue to be a world leader in innovation, exploration, and discovery for years to come. I hope you enjoy reviewing this report. It has been an exciting year and has set the stage for even more progress in 2018. Todd A. May Director Marshall Space Flight Center iii INTRODUCTION I am pleased to present to you this copy of the Mar- shall Space Flight Center Research and Technology Report 2017. Each year, the annual Research and Technology report is published with the purpose of highlighting the most novel and innovative work being accomplished by the scientists, engineers and technologists of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. This report features over 60 technology develop- ment and scientific research efforts that collec- tively aim to enable new capabilities in spaceflight, expand the reach of human exploration, and reveal new knowledge about the universe in which we live. These efforts include a wide array of strategic developments: launch propulsion technologies that facilitate more reliable, routine, and cost effective access to space; in-space propulsion developments that provide new solutions to space transportation requirements; autonomous systems designed to increase our utilization of robotics to accomplish critical missions; life support technologies that target our ability to implement closed-loop environ- mental resource utilization; science instruments that enable terrestrial, solar, planetary and deep space observations and discovery; and manufacturing technologies that will change the way we fabricate everything from rocket engines to in situ generated fuel and consumables. I trust that you will enjoy reviewing these research and technology accomplishments of 2017. May this report serve as inspiration for further innovations into 2018 and beyond. Andrew S.

  • Planet Mars III 28 March- 2 April 2010 POSTERS: ABSTRACT BOOK
    Planet Mars III 28 March- 2 April 2010 POSTERS: ABSTRACT BOOK Recent Science Results from VMC on Mars Express Jonathan Schulster1, Hannes Griebel2, Thomas Ormston2 & Michel Denis3 1 VCS Space Engineering GmbH (Scisys), R.Bosch-Str.7, D-64293 Darmstadt, Germany 2 Vega Deutschland Gmbh & Co. KG, Europaplatz 5, D-64293 Darmstadt, Germany 3 Mars Express Spacecraft Operations Manager, OPS-OPM, ESA-ESOC, R.Bosch-Str 5, D-64293, Darmstadt, Germany. Mars Express carries a small Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC), originally to provide visual telemetry of the Beagle-2 probe deployment, successfully release on 19-December-2003. The VMC comprises a small CMOS optical camera, fitted with a Bayer pattern filter for colour imaging. The camera produces a 640x480 pixel array of 8-bit intensity samples which are recoded on ground to a standard digital image format. The camera has a basic command interface with almost all operations being performed at a hardware level, not featuring advanced features such as patchable software or full data bus integration as found on other instruments. In 2007 a test campaign was initiated to study the possibility of using VMC to produce full disc images of Mars for outreach purposes. An extensive test campaign to verify the camera’s capabilities in-flight was followed by tuning of optimal parameters for Mars imaging. Several thousand images of both full- and partial disc have been taken and made immediately publicly available via a web blog. Due to restrictive operational constraints the camera cannot be used when any other instrument is on. Most imaging opportunities are therefore restricted to a 1 hour period following each spacecraft maintenance window, shortly after orbit apocenter.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

  • Appendix a Recovery of Ejecta Material from Confirmed, Probable
    Appendix A Recovery of Ejecta Material from Confirmed, Probable, or Possible Distal Ejecta Layers A.1 Introduction In this appendix we discuss the methods that we have used to recover and study ejecta found in various types of sediment and rock. The processes used to recover ejecta material vary with the degree of lithification. We thus discuss sample processing for unconsolidated, semiconsolidated, and consolidated material separately. The type of sediment or rock is also important as, for example, carbonate sediment or rock is processed differently from siliciclastic sediment or rock. The methods used to take and process samples will also vary according to the objectives of the study and the background of the investigator. We summarize below the methods that we have found useful in our studies of distal impact ejecta layers for those who are just beginning such studies. One of the authors (BPG) was trained as a marine geologist and the other (BMS) as a hard rock geologist. Our approaches to processing and studying impact ejecta differ accordingly. The methods used to recover ejecta from unconsolidated sediments have been successfully employed by BPG for more than 40 years. A.2 Taking and Handling Samples A.2.1 Introduction The size, number, and type of samples will depend on the objective of the study and nature of the sediment/rock, but there a few guidelines that should be followed regardless of the objective or rock type. All outcrops, especially those near industrialized areas or transportation routes (e.g., highways, train tracks) need to be cleaned off (i.e., the surface layer removed) prior to sampling.

  • 2020–21 Commencement Program
    Commencement UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER MAY 6, 2021 One Hundred Forty-Fifth Year of the University NORLIN CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES The first commencement at the University of Colorado was held for six graduates on June 8, 1882, in the chapel of Old Main. It was not until 40 years later, on September 4, 1922, that the first summer commencement was held. Since the first commencement in 1882, the University of Colorado Boulder has awarded more than 350,000 degrees. The traditional Norlin Charge to the graduates was first read by President George Norlin to the June 1935 graduating class. You are now certified to the world at large as alumni of the university. She is your kindly mother and you her cherished sons and daughters. This exercise denotes not your severance from her, but your union with her. Commencement does not mean, as many wrongly think, the breaking of ties and the beginning of life apart. Rather it marks your initiation in the fullest sense into the fellowship of the university, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, as promoters of her spirit. The university is not the campus, not the buildings on campus, not the faculties, not the students of any one time—not one of these or all of them. The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence, and who carry on her spirit. Wherever you go, the university goes with you. Wherever you are at work, there is the university at work.

  • Science Concept 3: Key Planetary
    Science Concept 4: The Lunar Poles Are Special Environments That May Bear Witness to the Volatile Flux Over the Latter Part of Solar System History Science Concept 4: The lunar poles are special environments that may bear witness to the volatile flux over the latter part of solar system history Science Goals: a. Determine the compositional state (elemental, isotopic, mineralogic) and compositional distribution (lateral and depth) of the volatile component in lunar polar regions. b. Determine the source(s) for lunar polar volatiles. c. Understand the transport, retention, alteration, and loss processes that operate on volatile materials at permanently shaded lunar regions. d. Understand the physical properties of the extremely cold (and possibly volatile rich) polar regolith. e. Determine what the cold polar regolith reveals about the ancient solar environment. INTRODUCTION The presence of water and other volatiles on the Moon has important ramifications for both science and future human exploration. The specific makeup of the volatiles may shed light on planetary formation and evolution processes, which would have implications for planets orbiting our own Sun or other stars. These volatiles also undergo transportation, modification, loss, and storage processes that are not well understood but which are likely prevalent processes on many airless bodies. They may also provide a record of the solar flux over the past 2 Ga of the Sun‟s life, a period which is otherwise very hard to study. From a human exploration perspective, if a local source of water and other volatiles were accessible and present in sufficient quantities, future permanent human bases on the Moon would become much more feasible due to the possibility of in-situ resource utilization (ISRU).
