  • Nasa Engineering & Safety Center
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA ENGINEERING & SAFETY CENTER 2008 TECHNICAL UPDATE www.nasa.gov 1 It gives me a lot of pleasure to recognize the 5th anniversary of the establishment of the NASA Engineering and Safety Center. It also offers, for me, a valuable reminder that it is important always to be open to new ideas and new approaches to solving problems. When the NESC was established, I was more than a bit pessimistic that it could work, that it could provide value for the Agency over and above that offered by our various center engineering directorates. I was wrong. The synergy that has been achieved by the NESC and its cross-agency approach to solving difficult technical problems has been truly impressive. It is, in my mind, a useful model for future endeavors and a great example that it is actually possible for us to “be NASA”, to rise above some of the parochial geographic concerns which have plagued NASA for five decades. These days, when someone tells me that the NESC is looking at a particular issue, I am reassured, because I know that if a solution can be found, this group will find it. – Dr. Michael D.

  • SPACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM HAER No. TX-116 PART V. SOLID
    SPACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM HAER No. TX-116 Page 337 PART V. SOLID ROCKET BOOSTER/REUSABLE SOLID ROCKET MOTOR Introduction The twin solid rocket boosters (SRBs), designed as the primary propulsion element of the STS, provided the Space Shuttle with 80 percent of the liftoff thrust during the first two minutes of launch. They burned more than 2,200,000 pounds of propellant and produced 36 million horsepower.1487 Each SRB booster was comprised of both motor and non-motor segments. The motor segments, referred to as the solid rocket motor (SRM), and later renamed “reusable solid rocket motor” (RSRM), contained the fuel to power the SRBs.1488 The SRMs/RSRMs were the largest and only human-rated solid-propellant rocket motors ever flown, and the first designed for recovery and reuse. The major non-motor segments included the nose cap, frustum, and forward and aft skirts. These structural components contained the electronics to guide the SRBs during liftoff, ascent, and ET/SRB separation, and housed the parachutes, which slowed the descent of the reusable boosters into the Atlantic Ocean after their jettison from the spacecraft. Historically, SRM/RSRM development followed a path separate from the non-motor SRB components. Throughout the SSP, Thiokol, of Promontory, Utah, was the sole fabricator and prime contractor for the SRM/RSRM.1489 Thiokol supplied NASA with the propellant-loaded forward motor case segment, with the igniter/safe and arm (S&A) device installed; the two propellant-loaded center motor case segments; the propellant-loaded aft motor case segment, with the nozzle installed; the case stiffener rings; and the aft exit cone assembly with the severance system installed.

  • Testing Strategies and Methodologies for the Max Launch Abort System Dawn M
    Testing Strategies and Methodologies for the Max Launch Abort System Dawn M. Schaible Daniel E. Yuchnovicz NASA Engineering and Safety Center Hampton, Virginia ABSTRACT The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) was tasked to develop an alternate, tower-less launch abort system (LAS) as risk mitigation for the Orion Project. The successful pad abort flight demonstration test in July 2009 of the “Max” launch abort system (MLAS) provided data critical to the design of future LASs, while demonstrating the Agency’s ability to rapidly design, build and fly full-scale hardware at minimal cost in a “virtual” work environment. Limited funding and an aggressive schedule presented a challenge for testing of the complex MLAS system. The successful pad abort flight demonstration test was attributed to the project’s systems engineering and integration process, which included: a concise definition of, and an adherence to, flight test objectives; a solid operational concept; well defined performance requirements, and a test program tailored to reducing the highest flight test risks. The testing ranged from wind tunnel validation of computational fluid dynamic simulations to component ground tests of the highest risk subsystems. This paper provides an overview of the testing/risk management approach and methodologies used to understand and reduce the areas of highest risk — resulting in a successful flight demonstration test. KEY WORDS: Testing, risk management, flight test, launch abort systems MLAS PROJECT OVERVIEW NASA’s next generation crewed spacecraft, named Orion, is a part of the overall Constellation Program. The baseline Orion design includes a launch abort system (LAS) with tower, derived from the Apollo design.
