They of the fellowship in a professional development assignment have coordinated visits to centers and laboratories, secured at NASA Headquarters, another government agency, or in internships, and helped with presentations at workshops and the private sector. These assignments provide within fellows conferences. Fellows have also aided students as they pursued with the experience and insight to help guide future NASA NASA–related research (KC135, BallonSat, etc.) and obtained initiatives, while positioning themselves for greater leadership employment at NASA centers. The NAFP has supported responsibilities within the agency. By participating in this numerous partnerships, collaborations, research projects, and exchange of ideas and experiences, NASA employees enhance technical assistance for underrepresented groups. their own technical, research, and management skills.

  • The Messenger Spacecraft Power System Design and Early Mission Performance
    THE MESSENGER SPACECRAFT POWER SYSTEM DESIGN AND EARLY MISSION PERFORMANCE G. Dakermanji, C. Person, J. Jenkins, L. Kennedy, D. Temkin Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, 11100 Johns Hopkins Rd., Laurel, Maryland, 20723-6099, USA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) spacecraft was launched on August 3, 2004. The spacecraft will be inserted into Mercury orbit in March 2011 for one year of orbital operation. During the mission, the spacecraft distance to the Sun will vary between approximately 1 and 0.3 Astronomical Units (AU), imposing severe requirements on the spacecraft thermal and power systems design. The spacecraft is maintained behind a sunshade. The two single-axis, gimbaled solar array panels are designed to withstand the expected high temperatures. A peak power tracking system has been selected to allow operation over the widely varying solar array I-V curves. In order to reduce cost and risk while increasing the likelihood of mission success, the approach taken in the power system design, including the solar arrays, was to use conventional design, materials, and fabrication techniques. 1. MISSION DESCRIPTION a. Launch Configuration Sunshade MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging), shown in Fig. 1, is a Battery NASA Discovery Program spacecraft designed and built by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). It will orbit the planet Mercury for one Earth year of orbital operation. Most of what is known about Mercury comes from the Mariner 10 spacecraft. Using three flybys, Mariner 10 was able to map about 45% of the planet surface during a one-year period between 1974 and 1975.

  • 10 Things to Know About NASA's Glenn Research Center
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration 10 Things to Know About NASA’s Glenn Research Center 1. NASA Glenn’s economic impact in Ohio exceeds $1.4 billion per year. According to an economic impact study by Cleveland State University’s Center for Economic Development, Glenn generates over $700 million annually in economic activity and creates over 7,000 jobs. NASA Glenn also generates nearly $500 million in labor income and approximately $120 million in tax revenue per year. 2. Glenn scientists and engineers are prolific inventors. The research center holds more than 725 patents and has won over 120 R&D 100 Awards, also known as the Oscars of innovation. That’s more than any other NASA center. Glenn strives to increase private sector revenue and contribute to private sector job growth by licensing its inventions. 3. Every U.S. aircraft has NASA Glenn technology on board. NASA is with you when you fly. Today’s commercial airliners are safer, quieter and more fuel efficient because of NASA Glenn technology. Glenn advancements such as ice detection and air traffic control systems have made flying safer. Glenn jet engine combustors have resulted in more efficient aircraft engines, and Glenn developed nozzle chevrons are used to make the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and new 737 MAX quieter. 4. Glenn is transforming aviation by developing revolutionary technologies for aircraft and the national airspace system. Glenn is working to dramatically improve efficiency, reduce costs and noise, and maintain safety in crowded skies. The center leads the agency’s effort to develop hybrid electric propulsion systems for commercial passenger aircraft.

    SSC17-III-02 NASA’s Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator Elwood Agasid, Roger Hunter, Christopher Baker, John Marmie, Darin Foreman Small Spacecraft Technology Program (SSTP) NASA Ames Research Center; 650 604 0558 [email protected] Dr. John Hanson Millennium Engineering & Integration Co. NASA Ames Research Center; 408 898 0376 [email protected] Mirabel Hill Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc. Irvine, CA; 949 753 1020 [email protected] ABSTRACT NASA's Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator (PTD) is a technology development project that will test the operation of a variety of novel CubeSat subsystems in low-Earth orbit, providing significant enhancements to the performance of these small and effective spacecraft. Each Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator mission will consist of one 6-unit (6U) CubeSat weighing approximately 12 kilograms and measuring approximately 30 centimeters x 25 centimeters x 10 centimeters. Each mission will be able to fulfill its objective of demonstrating the functionality of its payload and characterize the technology within 90 days of release from the deployment system. A sequence of five PTD spacecraft are expected to be deployed at near 6 month intervals, each demonstrating a novel, key small satellite technology. The first PTD spacecraft is expected to be ready for flight by August of 2018. The PTD project, led by NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California, in collaboration with NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio and Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc. in Irvine, California as the spacecraft vendor, will benefit future missions by demonstrating the operation of new subsystem technologies on orbit. These technologies are expected to include propulsion systems that provide the capability to maneuver small science platforms and send small spacecraft to deep space; novel technologies to stabilize spacecraft, and laser communications systems that will greatly increase the amount of data that can be transmitted from the spacecraft to the ground.
