Purdue University and Rolls- Royce formally kicked off their joint University Technology Center (UTC) on September 4, 2003; an alliance in which researchers will work together in research to develop propulsion technologies for future aircraft that may fly as fast as seven times the speed of sound – as fast as 5,000 miles per hour. They will also and study the behavior of jet fuels at the high temperature and pressure required for “High-Mach Propulsion” aircraft. Researchers also will focus on creating a new class of fuel injectors for jet engines. The High-Mach Propulsion UTC at Purdue is the first Rolls-Royce UTC in the United States.

K.O. Johnson’s career in aeronautics began before he came to Purdue. After graduating from high school in 1941, he learned to rivet aircraft assemblies as he worked to support the war effort. In 1943, he joined the Air Force as a second lieutenant and flew ground support air missions in Germany.

Following the war, Johnson enrolled Purdue to study structural and aerodynamic design. In 1950, he began working for General Motors, where he analyzed and designed gas turbines and rocket engines, contributing significantly to the design and development of the Minuteman rocket engine.

Johnson worked for General Electric from 1966 until his retirement in 1986. While at GE’s Large Gas Turbine Design Operation, in Cincinnati, he helped develop, introduce and patent the unducted fan engine, a breakthrough that led to reduced fuel consumption for commercial aircraft.

Heddy Kurz at the announcment He continues to perform research and development for Belcan Engineering in Cincinnati. He is an associate fellow for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, to which he had belonged for 52 years. Johnson was inducted into the General Electric Aircraft Engineering Hall of Fame in 1987 and was awarded a NASA Certificate of Recognition.

Astronaut Alumni Back on Campus

Astronaut alumni Janice Voss came back to the West Lafayette campus on September 25, 2003 for meetings, seminars and to attend to annual Outstanding Aerospace Engineers Award. As part of the President’s Council Back to Class session Voss also took part in “Biology at the Speed of Light” Voss also spoke with about 90 first – year Women-in-Engineering Seminar students about how she became an astronaut and her experiences during her five space flights. Voss recalled being a student at Purdue and wondering how to become an astronaut. Though the path is clear with hindsight, it wasn’t at the time she told the seminar. She recalled excelling at math and science at high school and she was interested in the space program.

Students receiving instructions on the satellite launch

FALL 2003 Purdue University alumnus and astronaut Col. John E. Blaha shared his excitement of space flight with over 300 enthusiastic students from grades 3-8. The 8th annual Fall Space Day took place on the West Lafayette campus on Saturday October 25, 2003. Organized by the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (Purdue SEDS) student director Jen Watson chose the theme for 2003 as “Celebrating the Centennial of Flight”

. Blaha Col. John E where each activity had a connection with 100 years of flight.

8 The elementary and middle school students had the opportunity to learn about aeronautical and astronautical engineering by taking part in hands-on activities dealing with rockets, nanorovers, and the students were able to trace the advance of flight from early biplanes to space exploration.

In addition to spending the entire day with Fall Space Day, Col. Blaha also gave two presentations, one in Prof. James Longuski’s AAE 507 Principals of Dynamics course and a public presentation in the Stewart Center where it was standing room only for his well received talk.

Blaha earned a master’s degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from Purdue in 1966. A retired Colonel and 31-year veteran of the Air Force, he logged 161 days in space on five missions from 1989 through 1997. On his final mission, he spent four months on the Russian space station MIR.

The day was sponsored by: the Indiana Space Grant Consortium; the School of Aeronautics & Astronautics; Great Lakes Chemical John Blaha helps Corp; Students for the Development and Exploration of Space and out with an activity the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The 9th annual Purdue Fall Space Day will take place on Saturday November 6, 2004 with Col. Guy S. Gardner as the guest astronaut.

Dale Alspaugh, former Purdue professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics and former Purdue-North Central chancellor, died July 1, 2004 at 72. Alspaugh was born May 25, 1932, in Dayton, Ohio, and married his wife, Marlowe Beckley, in 1955. She, along with their four children and eight grandchildren, survives Alspaugh. Alspaugh received his master’s of education degree from the University of Cincinnati and his master’s and doctoral degrees from Purdue. He served as a faculty member in the School of Aeronautics while authoring works on flight and orbit mechanics until 1981, when he joined Purdue-North Central as vice chancellor for academic services. Alspaugh was named acting chancellor in 1982 and chancellor two years later in 1984. He served in that capacity until 2000. Alspaugh oversaw unprecedented growth in the regional campus both in terms of people and physical facilities. During his tenure, enrollment increased by 50 percent as the number of full-time students doubled. Four new bachelor’s degrees along with four new associate degrees were added to the curriculum. On the recommendation of former Purdue president Steven C. Beering, Alspaugh continued to guide Purdue-North Central after the age of normal retirement age of 65.

13 X-43A - Brad Neil – Lead Engineer

On March 27, 2004, the X-43A rode on the first stage of an Orbital Sciences Corp. booster rocket and became the fastest air-breathing vehicle. It was launched by NASA Dryden’s B-52 at about 40,000 feet. The booster accelerated the Hyper-X research vehicle to the test conditions (Mach 7 or 10) at approximately 100,000 feet, where it separated from the booster and flew under its own power. Orbital Science’s Launch Vehicles Division in Chandler, Arizona builds the Hyper-X launch vehicles.

Purdue Alumnus Brad Neil, MSIDE 2000 was the operations lead engineer who gave the go to launch the X-43 for the B-52. NASA began a multi-year hypersonic flight- test program in 1996 by contracting for the fabrication of four Hypersonic Flight Experimental Vehicles that will fly up to ten times the speed of sound. The five-year Hyper-X program will demonstrate hypersonic propulsion technologies. Hypersonic speed is defined as above Mach 5, which is equivalent to about one mile-per-second, or approximately 3,600 miles per hour at sea level. Hyper-X opens up the frontier Book chronicles for airbreathing aircraft with speeds measured in miles-per-second. wings of The goal of the Hyper-X program is to flight validate key propulsion and related Purdue’s technologies for air-breathing hypersonic aircraft. The world’s fastest air-breathing aircraft, the SR-71, cruises slightly above Mach 3. The highest speed attained by Flight dreams NASA’s rocket-powered X-15 was Mach 6.7, back in 1967.

The School of Aeronautics & Astronautics is proud to announce William J. O’Neil as the recipient of Whitney Jackson, the Honorary Doctor of Engineering. O’Neil earned his bachelors degree from Purdue in 1961 and his senior in the School master’s in aeronautical and astronautical engi- of Aeronautics & neering from the University of Southern California in 1967. He began his career at Boeing Airplane Astronautics, stopped Company and moved to Lockheed Missiles and by the Village Nursery Space Company prior to joining the Jet Propulsion School in West Laboratory in 1963. Lafayette, In. to share the excitement and O’Neil’s assignments at JPL have included trajectory design and navigation for wonder of space with Surveyor, the first soft-landing lunar spacecraft. He was the navigation chief for Mariner Mars, the first United States spacecraft to orbit another planet, and 17 pre-schoolers. for Viking, the first soft-landing craft on Mars. In addition, he was the science and mission design manager for Project Galileo during its development phase throughout the 1980’s, and then became Galileo project manager shortly after its launch in 1989. That spacecraft, an orbiter and an entry probe, arrived at Jupiter in December 1995, becoming the first to penetrate an outer planet atmosphere and the first to orbit an outer planet in December 1997. It went on to perform nearly six additional years of extended Jupiter orbital science gathering before being intentionally crashed into the planet in September of 2003 to prevent any chance of Earth spores reaching Jupiter’s moon Europa, which may itself harbor microbial life.

Following Galileo’s two-year primary mission, O’Neil was appointed chief technologist and then project manager for the Mars Exploration Program at JPL. However the project was postponed and O’Neil became manager of JPL’s Systems Management Office until his retirement in 2001. He continues as chairman of the Space Exploration Committee of the International Astronautical Federation and is member of the International Academy of Astronautics.

O’Neil has been honored with NASA’s Senior Brian Ventre highest award, the Distinguished Service shows a group Medal, for his management of Project Galileo.

Survey ranks Purdue engineering among nation’s best

Purdue University’s School of Engineering graduate program is ranked eighth overall and several of its specialized programs are among the top ten in a U.S. News & World Report survey released April 2, 2004. Purdue is tied with the University of Michigan and moved up in the overall rankings from last year’s No. 9 position. Two years ago, Purdue ranked No. 12. In a separate survey, employers also ranked the Schools of Engineering 10th nationally.

“I am very pleased to see the rankings of Purdue’s engineering programs continue to rise,” said Linda P.B. Katehi, John A. Edwardson Dean of Engineering. To be so well thought of by both our peers and industry leaders is a testament to our students and faculty at Purdue.” The School of Aeronautics & Astronautics was ranked sixth overall. Purdue’s engineering program is among the largest in the United States and includes 13 schools, departments and divisions. This year, the schools enrolled almost 6,500 undergraduate students and more than 2,500 graduate students. U.S News has published graduate school rankings annually since 1987.

Study Abroad Opportunities Purdue students can choose from over 200 study abroad opportunities in more than 45 countries. Programs vary by discipline and length, from one week to one year, making study abroad accessible for all students. Program participants can take courses in their major, minor or earn general education credits. Most programs are open to all Purdue students while others are designed for specific majors or minors. Academic credit transfers back directly to Purdue allowing students to fit study abroad easily into their four-year plan. Students remain enrolled students while participating in Purdue programs and therefore are eligible for financial aid and Purdue University scholarships. The Study Abroad Office awards a limited number of scholarships to students who have been approved for study abroad. Other scholarships specifically for students studying outside the United States are also available

The School of Aeronautics & Astronautics currently has agreements with England, France and Australia and has students from Purdue in these three countries and we are also acting as hosts for our overseas students. Purdue Study Abroad will also start to offer short-term, multiple destination programs during the summer.

Missions to the Moon and Beyond

In his January 15, 2004 speech at NASA headquarters in Washington, President Bush announced renewed efforts for human space exploration. Mr. Bush said the space program would shift its focus from near-Earth orbit. The new program will divert $11 billion out of $86 billion in NASA budgets over the next five years. NASA announced that it was creating an office to develop technologies for missions to the Moon and beyond.

The agency will also retire the three remaining space shuttles after the International Space Station is completed, in 2010. After the shuttles are grounded in 2010, NASA will not have any ability to send astronauts to space until a new spacecraft, the crew exploration vehicle starts operation in 2014. That will leave NASA and the other nations participating in the International Space Station reliant on Russian rockets for transportation. The crew exploration vehicle is the craft that will carry astronauts back to the moon by 2020. A team of about 30 Purdue University students from diverse technical and engineering disciplines participated in the U.S. Department of Energy sponsored The American Solar Challenge which was a 2,300-mile, eleven day race from Chicago to Los Angeles following mostly along the historical Route 66.
