Their willingness to share information about the Smith Prairie incident and the tragic loss of their co-worker and friend, while difficult and emotional, will provide learning opportunities and an increased understanding of the event for use by the wildland fire and safety community to help prevent future similar accidents. The SAIT would also like to thank BLM Boise District and Dispatch; BLM National Interagency Fire Center Branch of Fire Operations; U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Audio/Visual Specialist Eric Hipke; USFS Wildland Firefighter Medical Qualifications Program Manager and Medical Officer Jennifer Symonds (D.O.); Missoula Technology Development Center Photographic Technologist Ian Grob; Sandy Reid of Rigging Innovations, Inc., who was an integral part of the team during the initial phases of the investigation; Elmore County Sheriff's and Coroner’s Offices; Ada County Sheriff's and Coroner’s Offices; Steve Greene from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; National Advanced Fire and Resource Institute; and Life Flight/St Luke's for their support and cooperation. This SAI was conducted in the true spirit of interagency cooperation. The USFS subject matter experts (SMEs) were an integral part of the investigation from start to finish. Other USFS smokejumper SMEs and technical specialists provided support, knowledge and expertise at different stages throughout the investigation. Smith Prairie Serious Accident Investigation Factual Report Page vi Purpose The purpose of a serious accident investigation (SAI) is accident prevention and learning—not to identify and assign blame. The objectives of the Smith Prairie SAI were to (1) present the facts about the September 27, 2013 accident that resulted in a loss of life; and (2) share the SAI team’s analysis in a way that enhances the reliability and resilience of the BLM and the smokejumper organizations across the agencies. The Smith Prairie Management Evaluation and Factual Reports are intended to provide the fire and safety community, at all levels, learning tools to prevent future accidents. Smith Prairie Serious Accident Investigation Factual Report Page vii Prologue The Smith Prairie Serious Accident Investigation is dedicated to the memory of 40-year-old Mark Urban who lost his life on September 27, 2013, while performing an extended drogue ride parachute jump for research and development purposes. Mark, along with 33 other wildland firefighters this season, paid the ultimate sacrifice during the course of wildland fire operations. May the facts detailed in this report provide other smokejumpers, wildland firefighters, managers, and others involved in wildland fire management with the information needed to reduce and manage future risks so that similar accidents are avoided and lives are saved. Smith Prairie Serious Accident Investigation Factual Report Page viii Executive Summary On September 27, 2013, Mark Urban and other jumpers from the Great Basin Smokejumpers were performing extended drogue ride parachute jumps for research and development (R&D) purposes on a remote airstrip outside of Prairie, Idaho, approximately 50 miles ESE of Boise. Mark was fatally injured when his main parachute did not deploy until 138'AGL. The R&D jumps that took place on September 27 were part of a test plan to refine operational parameters of the Vigil Automatic Activation Device (AAD) for future smokejumper use. The intent was that the testing would result in the approved use of more than one AAD for Bureau of On September 27, during an extended drogue ride for Land Management (BLM) Smokejumpers. research and development purposes, Mark Urban lost his life on this remote airstrip near Smith Prairie, Idaho, Currently, the CYPRES AAD is the only approved when his parachute began to deploy at an altitude too AAD for the BLM smokejumper reserve low to allow the main parachute to fully inflate. parachute container. Mark was the second jumper on the second plane load at Smith Prairie Airstrip that day. Mark left the door of the plane with his gear configured properly and his altimeter set to the correct altitude. Upon exit, the drogue parachute inflated fully and Mark exited in a good, tight body position and can be observed rotating to the right. At the point he leaves the camera’s view, flight data recorder analysis indicates that he slowed his rotation and then became reasonably stable relative to the other jumpers until shortly after pull altitude. At pull altitude Mark’s main parachute did not deploy. At 29 seconds he was spinning. Mark’s drogue released at 138' AGL and his main canopy achieved line stretch prior to his impact with the ground but too late to arrest his rate of descent. Mark impacted the ground and sustained fatal injuries. Following Mark’s accident, jump operations immediately terminated and emergency response was initiated. Mark’s fellow jumpers took great care to preserve and document the accident site for future investigative work by the Serious

The system is based on the simple mechanics of combining two lever arms and a 2 to 1 pulley interaction to create a 200:1 force reduction between the weight applied to the system and the force required to release it. A linear actuator retracts a release cord, triggering the three rings that hold the system together to unfurl from one another and separate the drogue parachute from the payload.

  • Preparation of Papers for AIAA Technical Conferences
    Maraia Capsule Flight Testing and Results for Entry, Descent, and Landing Ronald R. Sostaric1 and Alan L. Strahan2 NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, 77058 The Maraia concept is a modest size (150 lb., 30” diameter) capsule that has been proposed as an ISS based, mostly autonomous earth return capability to function either as an Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) technology test platform or as a small on-demand sample return vehicle. A flight test program has been completed including high altitude balloon testing of the proposed capsule shape, with the purpose of investigating aerodynamics and stability during the latter portion of the entry flight regime, along with demonstrating a potential recovery system. This paper includes description, objectives, and results from the test program. Nomenclature = Aerodynamic angle of attack = Sideslip angle CA = Axial aerodynamic force coefficient Cm = Aerodynamic moment coefficient Cm,q = Change in moment coefficient due to pitch rate CN = Normal aerodynamic force coefficient I. Introduction HE Maraia Capsule is envisioned as an entry technology testbed that could be adapted to return small payloads T (10-100’s of kg) from the International Space Station (ISS) or from beyond Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) destinations. Figure 1 shows the concept of operations. The Maraia Capsule is delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) via a visiting vehicle, such as the SpaceX Dragon or the Orbital Cygnus. It resides in the internal volume (IVA) of the spacecraft and is designed to ISS internal requirements. At the desired time, the Maraia Capsule is attached to the Space Station Integrated Kinetic Launcher for Orbital Payload Systems (SSIKLOPS)1 device.

Allamby, M.B.E.à Irvin Aerospace Inc., Santa Ana, California 92704 The Kistler Landing system consists of parachutes and airbags to land both stages of the Kistler Aerospace, K-1 Reusable Launch Vehicle. The K-1 Reusable Launch Vehicle is a commercial venture to develop the worlds first fully re-usable launch vehicle. The unmanned launcher consists of two stages, the first or Launch Assist Platform (LAP), and the second stage, or Orbital Vehicle (OV). This paper presents an update on the status of parachute testing for the Kistler program. Introduction The Kistler Landing system consists of parachutes and airbags to land both stages of the Kistler Aerospace, K-1 Reusable Launch Vehicle. The K-1 Reusable Launch Vehicle is a commercial venture to develop the worlds first fully re-usable launch vehicle. The unmanned launcher consists of two stages, the first or Launch Assist Platform (LAP), and the second stage, or Orbital Vehicle (OV). Following staging, the LAP performs a return to launch site maneuver and is then recovered for a soft earth landing using parachutes and airbags. Recovery of the nearly 45,000 lb vehicle is accomplished with a drogue and main stage, followed by an airbag attenuated impact. The drogue stage consists of two 40.0 ft conical ribbon parachutes, similar in design to the shuttle orbiter parabrake. The main stage consists of six (6), 156.0 ft. diameter ring sail parachutes. These parachutes are rigged in two clusters of three parachutes.

  • Stabilizing Mechanisms for Personnel Parachute Systems
    Stabilizing mechanisms for personnel parachute systems “…I lay on my back. The center of spinning is somewhere near my neck. My feet are going in a large circle, my head in a small one. I am spinning with frightening speed. I have do get out of this corkscrew spin, otherwise it will be bad. I am making reverse jerks, throwing out my right arm. With difficulty I get out of the spin, but I don’t see the ground…..I don’t even know in what position I am falling. Blood rings in my ears. In order to equalize the pressure I try to sing. But the song doesn’t work. Then I simply start to yell, like a town crier, the first words that come to mind….Losing orientation, I again can’t see anything. I am shaken, thrown from side to side, twisted and rolled. I am stunned and can’t figure out what I need to do in order to stop this torture…” This is an extract from a story of one the pioneers of Soviet parachuting, the well known sport jumper Nikolai Evdokimov, about the record setting jump with a 142 second delay from a height of 8100 meters made by him on July 17, 1934. The first parachutists, starting to master jumps with delayed openings, were confronted with what is now called unstable freefall. At that time they didn’t know how to control it. UNSTABLE FREEFALL In addition to jumps with an immediate opening of the parachute, when the parachute is opened immediately after exiting from the aircraft by a staticline, it is sometimes necessary to make jumps with a delayed opening.
