  • U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology
    U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee on Energy and Environment Hearing on Department of Energy User Facilities: Utilizing the Tools of Science to Drive Innovation through Fundamental Research June 21, 2012 Written Testimony Regarding the National User Facility Organization and the role of DOE’s user facilities in the U.S. scientific enterprise. Dr. Antonio Lanzirotti Chairman, National User Facility Organization Senior Research Associate, The University of Chicago Written Testimony Introduction Chairman Harris, Ranking Member Miller and distinguished members of the Committee, I thank you for this opportunity to testify. My name is Antonio Lanzirotti, I am a Senior Research Associate at the University of Chicago’s Center for Advanced Radiation Sources. It has also been an honor for me to serve this past year as the elected Chair of the National User Facility Organization and it is in that capacity that I am here today. Founded in 1990, our organization was established in the hopes of facilitating communication among researchers that utilize our nation’s scientific user facilities and facility administrators and stakeholders. We are a volunteer, non-profit entity and it is our hope that through these efforts we can educate our scientific peers and the American public of the availability, benefits and significance of research conducted at these facilities and provide a conduit for the scientific user community to disseminate recommendations of what we perceive are their operational needs. Diverse Scientific User Community Today the National User Facility Organization (NUFO) represents the almost 45,000 scientists who conduct research at the 46 largest federally funded user facilities in the United States.

  • Projecting 100 Years of Aerospace History Into the Future of Avionics
    31st Digital Avionics Systems Conference PR OJECTING 100 YEARS OF AEROSPACE HISTORY INTO THE FUTURE OF AVIONICS Crowne Plaza Williamsburg Williamsburg, VA 14-18 October 2012 Airplane image credit: NASA/MIT/Aurora Flight Sciences 31st Welcome to the 31st Digital Avionics Systems Conference For the 31st DASC this year in Williamsburg, Virginia, we’ll enjoy various aspects of flight in and around Virginia’s historic tidewater area while conjuring imagery of pre- ceding centuries. Aviation has seen amazing changes since 1912. What will it look like in 2112? Our strategy is to review and reflect on significant events in aerospace electronics history while building a case for how we see avionics projecting out to future generations. As in past DASC successes, we will continue to host exhibitors, highlight our confer- ence sponsors, and provide an avenue for publishing. Besides the over 200 papers in our Technical Program, we’ll have senior and acknowledged experts in our Plenary Session, Lunch Panel, Workshop, and Tutorial Program. The interactive workshop will be different in that a systems engineering model will be used and a product will be developed. We have renamed our Tutorial Program in memory of Cary R. Spitzer, the popular and long-time presenter, who passed since the last DASC. New in 2012, we’ve introduced a high school student competition “Engineering Our Aerospace Future,” which has sev- eral interesting and thought-provoking submissions. Williamsburg, the 17th Century capital of the Virginia Colony of the United States, is ideal for us this year. Historic Yorktown and Jamestown are nearby. Williamsburg not only sets a historic context of aviation but is also close to Langley Air Force Base, Naval Station Norfolk, and NASA’s Langley Research Center.

    Release No: APR-283 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Patricia Woodside Director, Public Relations (703) 396-6304 [email protected] Aurora Wins Design and Fabrication Contract for the Boeing SolarEagle Manassas, VA, January 9, 2012 ─ Aurora Flight Sciences has been awarded a contract by Boeing Defense, Space & Security to design and fabricate structural components for the revolutionary Boeing SolarEagle unmanned aircraft. Aurora will design and fabricate the ribs and skins for the 400 foot long wing and the solar collection panels. The work includes components for both a subscale test article and a flight demonstrator. “Aurora will have to push the limits of materials and the imagination to create answers to the demanding requirements of this very large yet gossamer aircraft,” said Tom Clancy, Aurora’s Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "We are delighted to have been chosen for such an important role. Boeing recognized the value that Aurora brings to the program through our combination of experience in rapid prototyping and our expertise in composite structures.” SolarEagle is being developed under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Vulture program. During testing, the SolarEagle demonstrator will fly at high altitudes above 60,000 feet for 30 days, harvesting solar energy during the day that will be stored in fuel cells and used to provide power through the night. Aircraft that can stay aloft for extended periods can function as pseudo-satellites for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and communication applications. Aurora has over twenty years of experience with gossamer aircraft. The company’s background in human powered aircraft directly translates to the current lightly-loaded, low Reynolds number solar powered airplanes.

  • National Aeronautic Association Annual Report 2010
    National Aeronautic Association Annual Report 2010 The Aero Club of the United States To All Board Members of the National Aeronautic Association We are all too aware of the pressures of business and the general de- cline in the economy over the past few years. It affects the performance of our companies, and indeed, of our own individual finances. It is thus all the more rewarding to report to you that the National Aeronautic Association has not only weathered the current storm, but improved its position in the process. As those of you who attended the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Board of the National Aeronautic Association know, our President, Jonathan Gaffney, was able to present a picture of a totally dedicated organiza- tion succeeding in its efforts in every category. The degree of success is amplified by the fact that it was obtained by a substantially reduced staff who nonetheless accomplished many more tasks. It was also char- acterized by a much greater out-reach program which has solidified relations with our associate members. This staff effort has been ably supported by the Board, and I want to both thank you and congratulate you on this. Without that support and guidance, even Jonathan and his staff would have had difficulties achieving their successes. We both solicit your further aid, and in par- ticular, your suggestions. I believe it is entirely fair to say that the 2010 Annual Board Meeting elicited more and better suggestions than any previous such event. Further, some of the suggestions were acted upon the same day as the meeting, an indication of the energy and enthusi- asm that characterized the day.
