Alexander, Editor Marshall Space Flight Center • MSFC, Alabama National Aeronautics and Space Administration Marshall Space Flight Center ° MSFC, Alabama 35812 August 1996 PREFACE The effects of the natural space environment on spacecraft design, development, and operation are the topic of a series of NASA Reference Publications currently being developed by the Electromagnetics and Aerospace Environments Branch, Systems Analysis and Integration Laboratory, Marshall Space Flight Center. This primer provides an overview of seven major areas of the natural space environment including brief definitions, related programmatic issues, and effects on various spacecraft subsystems. The primary focus is to present more than 100 case histories of spacecraft failures and anomalies documented from 1974 through 1994 attributed to the natural space environment. A better understanding of the natural space environment and its effects will enable spacecraft designers and managers to more effectively minimize program risks and costs, optimize design quality, and achieve mission objectives. .o° 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS

By establishing government-industry partnerships, the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program marked a change from the traditional way NASA had worked. Inset photos, right: The COTS program supported two U.S. companies in their efforts to design and build transportation systems to carry cargo to low-Earth orbit. (Top photo—Credit: SpaceX) SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket on May 22, 2012, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. (Second photo) Three days later, the company successfully completed the mission that sent its Dragon spacecraft to the Station. (Third photo—Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls) Orbital Sciences Corp. sent its Antares rocket on its test flight on April 21, 2013, from a new launchpad on Virginia’s eastern shore. Later that year, the second Antares lifted off with Orbital’s cargo capsule, (Fourth photo) the Cygnus, that berthed with the ISS on September 29, 2013. Both companies successfully proved the capability to deliver cargo to the International Space Station by U.S. commercial companies and began a new era of spaceflight. ISS photo, center left: Benefiting from the success of the partnerships is the International Space Station, pictured as seen by the last Space Shuttle crew that visited the orbiting laboratory (July 19, 2011). More photos of the ISS are featured on the first pages of each chapter.

  • SKYLAB: a PROGRESS REPORT Abstract. the Skylab Apollo
    SKYLAB: A PROGRESS REPORT R. M. MacQUEEN High Altitude Observatory, National Center for Atmospheric Research*, Boulder, Colo., U.S.A. (Presented by G. Newkirk) Abstract. The Skylab Apollo Telescope. Mount contains six principal instruments spanning the X-ray to visible wavelength range. These experiments include an exter­ nally occulted white light coronagraph from the High Altitude Observatory which observes the outer solar corona from 1.5 to 6.0 radii from Sun center, in broadband (3500-7000 A) white light with approximately 10" spatial resolution. An X-ray spectrographic telescope of the American Science and Engineering, Inc. employs six filters and an objective grating to observe a 48' field of view in the wavelength range 3.5-6.0 A, with approximately 3" spatial resolution. A scanning ultraviolet poly- chromator, spectroheliometer of the Harvard College Observatory is capable of observing 1.2 A spectral resolution from 300-1350 A with a 7 detector array. The field of view of the instrument is determined by its operational mode and ranges from 5' x 5' to 5" x 5". An X-ray telescope from the Marshall Space Flight Center employs five metal filters to observe the 5-33 A spectral region with 2.5" spatial resolution over the 40' field of view. The Naval Research Laboratory has supplied two instruments: the first, an XUV spectroheliograph, covers wavelength regions 150-335 A and 321-625 A, with somewhat better than 5" spatial resolution and a spectral resolution of 0.13 A (for a 10" feature). The second instrument, a slit spectrograph, covers the spectral range 970-3940 A in two bands, 970-1970 and 1940-3940, and has 0.5 and 0.1 A spectral resolution respectively, with a 2" x 60" slit.

Marshall Space Flight Center tional Aeronautics and Space Administration arshall Space Flight Center, Alabama Phone: 876-1102, 876 -1959 APOLLO TELESCOPE MOUNT \ -- Fact Sheet -- The Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) is being developed to give space scientists a look at the sun's activity unencumbered by the fogging effects of the earth's atmosphere. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration plans to launch the first of its manned solar observatories, ATM-A, in 1971. The space agency is joined by the scientific community and industry in developing the highly sophisticated satellite. Five principal investigators, all experts in astronomy and solar physics, have designed five experiments for the first ATM flight. The eight instruments used in these five ATM experiments will obtain measurements of the sun in the extreme ultreme ultraviolet and X-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum which cannot penetrate the earth's atmosphere and obtain pictures of the sun's corona in the white light portion of the spectrum. Dr. George E. Mueller, NASA Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight, has said the ATM "provides a new great capability for a variety of solar and stellar scientific experiments" to be performed above the atmosphere, where the sun and stars can be clearly observed without being obscured by the earth's AAP CLUSTER -- The Apollo Telescope Mount, shown at top, is one of the principal payloads in the first Apollo Applications flights. Other main elements are the Saturn I workshop, bottom, the airlock/multiple docking adapter and Apollo spacecraft. -2 - atmosphere. The first ATM, one of the early Apollo Applications missions, is a forerunner of more advanced manned solar and stellar observatories which will provide an increased data gathering capability for astronomers.
