  • Historian's Corner
    Historian’s Corner Ray Ziehm (POC) ([email protected] ) We are making some minor changes to the Historian’s writings for each addition of the STAR. Ray Ziehm has volunteered to take the lead in coordinating our quarterly write ups. He will be the only one listed under the officers for Historians. The individual contributors are well appreciated and are needed every year. We have in the past missed some Historian write ups, so having a lead coordinator should eliminate that. The individual writers will continue to be identified with their writings. Those of you that would like to write an article in the STAR for an item of historical interest should contact Ray at 303-784- 1413. Thanks, Bob Snodgress Ed Bock ([email protected] ) Atlas/Centaur Sale and Transition to Martin Marietta This Atlas Program history was originally presented at the Centaur 50th Anniversary celebration in San Diego by Ed Bock. It has been expanded with input from Tony Christensen to include the Centaur for Titan Program Transition. To appreciate this sale and transition, it’s necessary to understand the environment at General Dynamics Space Systems (GDSS) Division in the early 1990’s. The Commercial Atlas Program was inaugurated with the launch of AC-69, the first Atlas I, in July 1990. Atlas II was in development, and its first launch occurred in December 1991. GDSS was in the process of evaluating a Russian rocket engine (the RD-180) for its evolved Atlas. From mid 1990 to late 1993 there were 14 Atlas/Centaur launches, including three Atlas I failures.

  • Ordnance Safety Requirements for Space Launch Vehicles
    Ordnance Safety Requirements for Space Launch Vehicles Srinath. V. Iyengar, P.E.; United Launch Alliance; Denver, Colorado, USA Keywords: Ordnance, hazard, Safety, Atlas Introduction United Launch Alliance launches Atlas V from Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg Air Force launch facilities. Space launch vehicles such as Atlas V consist of various subsystems like pneumatics, propulsion, ordnance, avionics etc. The ordnance systems play a key role with instant activations to initiate various discrete events such as lift off, stage separations, spacecraft separation and flight termination if needed for public safety. Ordnance function is therefore essential for both mission success and uniquely for public safety. Ordnance hazards are present during prelaunch operations and during flight. Prevention of inadvertent activation and assured functioning are both important for safety. A major requirement is to provide a number of inhibits to prevent inadvertent activation. The number of required minimum inhibits depends on a critical or catastrophic consequence. Adequate qualification testing, lot acceptance testing and service life testing are essential for assured functioning. Operations at the launch ranges are controlled by Range Safety regulations like EWR 127-1 and AFSPCMAN 91-710. A number of military standards such as MIL-STD-1576, MIL-DTL-23659 and MIL-HDBK-1512 provide guidance for design and testing. The Department of Transportation provides requirements for safe ground transportation of ordnance. This paper reviews many of these requirements and their compliance approach. Atlas V Space Launch Vehicle Atlas launch vehicle has evolved over many years. Starting with an Atlas A in 1955, the version today is Atlas V. Figure 1 (Reference 1) shows the evolution over the years.

  • Aircraft Designations and Popular Names
    Chapter 1 Aircraft Designations and Popular Names Background on the Evolution of Aircraft Designations Aircraft model designation history is very complex. To fully understand the designations, it is important to know the factors that played a role in developing the different missions that aircraft have been called upon to perform. Technological changes affecting aircraft capabilities have resulted in corresponding changes in the operational capabilities and techniques employed by the aircraft. Prior to WWI, the Navy tried various schemes for designating aircraft. In the early period of naval aviation a system was developed to designate an aircraft’s mission. Different aircraft class designations evolved for the various types of missions performed by naval aircraft. This became known as the Aircraft Class Designation System. Numerous changes have been made to this system since the inception of naval aviation in 1911. While reading this section, various references will be made to the Aircraft Class Designation System, Designation of Aircraft, Model Designation of Naval Aircraft, Aircraft Designation System, and Model Designation of Military Aircraft. All of these references refer to the same system involved in designating aircraft classes. This system is then used to develop the specific designations assigned to each type of aircraft operated by the Navy. The F3F-4, TBF-1, AD-3, PBY-5A, A-4, A-6E, and F/A-18C are all examples of specific types of naval aircraft designations, which were developed from the Aircraft Class Designation System. Aircraft Class Designation System Early Period of Naval Aviation up to 1920 The uncertainties during the early period of naval aviation were reflected by the problems encountered in settling on a functional system for designating naval aircraft.
