    CRYSTAL GROWTH & DESIGN 2001 VOL. 1, NO. 1 87-99 Review Microgravity and Macromolecular Crystallography Craig E. Kundrot,* Russell A. Judge, Marc L. Pusey, and Edward H. Snell Mail Code SD48 Biotechnology Science Group, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama 35812 Received August 24, 2000 ABSTRACT: Macromolecular crystal growth is seen as an ideal experiment to make use of the reduced acceleration environment provided by an orbiting spacecraft. The experiments are small, are simply operated, and have a high potential scientific and economic impact. In this review we examine the theoretical reasons why microgravity is a beneficial environment for crystal growth and survey the history of experiments on the Space Shuttle Orbiter, on unmanned spacecraft, and on the Mir space station. The results of microgravity crystal growth are considerable when one realizes that the comparisons are always between few microgravity-based experiments and a large number of earth-based experiments. Finally, we outline the direction for optimizing the future use of orbiting platforms. 1. Introduction molecules, including viruses, proteins, DNA, RNA, and complexes of those molecules.

  • Space Shuttle Abort Evolution Edward M
    AIAA SPACE 2011 Conference & Exposition AIAA 2011-1072113 26 - 29 Sep 2011, Long Beach, California Space Shuttle Abort Evolution Edward M. Henderson 1 and Tri X. Nguyen2 NASA, Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas 77058 Abstract This paper documents some of the evolutionary steps in developing a rigorous Space Shuttle launch abort capability. The paper addresses the abort strategy during the design and development and how it evolved during Shuttle flight operations. The Space Shuttle Program made numerous adjustments in both the flight hardware and software as the knowledge of the actual flight environment grew. When failures occurred, corrections and improvements were made to avoid a reoccurrence and to provide added capability for crew survival. Finally some lessons learned are summarized for future human launch vehicle designers to consider. Nomenclature AOA = Abort Once Around ATO = Abort to Orbit ET = External Tank FSW = Flight software ISS = International Space Station MECO = Main Engine cutoff OFT = Orbiter Flight Test Program OMS = Orbiter Maneuvering System RCS = Reaction Control System RTLS = Return to the Landing Site SOFT = Suborbital Flight Test Flight SSME = Space Shuttle Main Engine TAL = Transoceanic Abort Landing TPS = Thermal Protection System TVC = Thrust vector control WTR = Western Test Range I. Introduction he Space Shuttle was intended to be a reusable launch vehicle. However the national budget could not support T that large of an initial investment required for the design and development of a fully recoverable and reusable vehicle. Therefore a compromise design (Fig. 1.) was selected with an expendable external propellant tank that lowered development cost and corresponding increase in the operations cost.

The 22 missions made outstanding contributions to astronomy, life sciences, atmospheric physics, Earth observation and materials science under microgravity – advances that stemmed from this crucial European contribution. Spacelab essentially comprised two types of payload carrier: a pressurised manned laboratory module and unpressurised external pallets. Its flexibility allowed it to accommodate both multi- disciplinary experiments and complements devoted to a single scientific or applications theme. The Pressure Module (PM) hosted the experiments equipment, data processing and electrical power equipment, an environmental control system and crew control stations. The crew of up to six researchers relied on the Shuttle Orbiter for living quarters, communications and data transmissions. Europe was invited in 1969 to participate in the post-Apollo Spacelab was an programme, ultimately deciding at integral part of the the Ministerial Meeting of the Space Transportation European Space Conference in System.

Transportation beyond low-Earth orbit will open the frontier for a lunar outpost, where astronauts will harness in-situ resources while exploring this 4 billion-year-old archaeological site, which may hold answers to how the Earth and its satellite were formed. Ultimately, this experience will pave the way for the first human footprint on Mars. Fig. 1. NASA concept ofthe Ares I/Orion (right) and the Ares V.

  • Space Stations: Base Camps to the Stars*
    Chapter 23 Space Stations: Base Camps to the Stars* Roger D. Launius† Introduction This paper reviews the history of space stations in American culture, from an 1869 work of fiction in the Atlantic Monthly to the present realization of the International Space Station (ISS). It also discusses the history of space stations “real and imagined” as cultural icons. From winged rocket ships, to the giant ro- tating wheels of Wernher von Braun and 2001: A Space Odyssey, to the epic, controversy-wracked saga of the ISS, the paper also discusses Mir, Skylab, and the Salyuts. It will close with a projection into the future as ISS is realized—or perhaps deferred—and perhaps future generations begin work on space stations elsewhere in the Solar System. The Attraction of a Space Station From virtually the beginning of the 20th century, those interested in the human exploration of space have viewed as central to that endeavor the building of a massive Earth-orbital space station that would serve as the jumping-off point to the Moon and the planets. Always, space exploration enthusiasts believed, a * Presented at the Thirty-Eighth History Symposium of the International Academy of As- tronautics, 4–8 October 2004, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The more technically minded recognized that once humans had achieved Earth orbit about 200 miles up, the presumed location of any space sta- tion, the vast majority of the atmosphere and the gravity well had been conquered and that people were now about halfway to anywhere they might want to go.

Goodrich Alice R. Buchalter Patrick M. Miller of the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress NASA History Program Office Office of Communications NASA Headquarters Washington, DC Monographs in Aerospace History Number 49 August 2012 NASA SP-2012-4549 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Space Shuttle Annotated Bibliography PREFACE This annotated bibliography is a continuation of Toward a History of the Space Shuttle: An Annotated Bibliography, compiled by Roger D. Launius and Aaron K. Gillette, and published by NASA as Monographs in Aerospace History, Number 1 in December 1992 (available online at http://history.nasa.gov/Shuttlebib/contents.html). The Launius/Gillette volume contains those works published between the early days of the United States’ manned spaceflight program in the 1970s through 1991. The articles included in the first volume were judged to be most essential for researchers writing on the Space Shuttle’s history. The current (second) volume is intended as a follow-on to the first volume. It includes key articles, books, hearings, and U.S. government publications published on the Shuttle between 1992 and the end of the Shuttle program in 2011. The material is arranged according to theme, including: general works, precursors to the Shuttle, the decision to build the Space Shuttle, its design and development, operations, and management of the Space Shuttle program. Other topics covered include: the Challenger and Columbia accidents, as well as the use of the Space Shuttle in building and servicing the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station; science on the Space Shuttle; commercial and military uses of the Space Shuttle; and the Space Shuttle’s role in international relations, including its use in connection with the Soviet Mir space station.
