Application Process If Interested in Applying to the Academies, You Application Process If interested in applying to the Academies, you must first create a profile on the NASA SOLAR website (http://intern.nasa.gov) and then fill in the full academy application at http://www.AcademyApp.com. The deadline has been extended to: January 22, 2013 5:00 PM (EST). The Academies are intensive educational programs which emphasize group activities, teamwork, research, leadership and creativity. The curriculum balances direct contact with science and engineering R & D with an awareness of the managerial, political, financial, social and human issues faced by aerospace professionals. Included are seminars, informal discussions, evening lectures, supervised research, visits to other NASA Centers and facilities, group project/s, tours, posters/presentations, and assessment. Additionally, most weekends are filled with group activities, team building and off- site trips. One free weekend is scheduled. The Academy is not a 9-5 summer research internship program. It is a rigorous, immersive experience that will challenge you and push you outside of your comfort zones. It offers participants an intense learning experience that is either Space- or Aeronautics-based. All academy students will be immersed in a NASA environment where they will experience the agency from both inside and outside perspectives. Additionally, added interaction with NASA collaborators in industry and academia will provide unique, exciting and unforgettable summer experience designed to engage and capture students within the NASA family. Application Process AcademyApp.com is where students will apply specifically to the NASA Academies at Ames, Dryden, Glenn, Langley, and Marshall with a single application. Before beginning, please read the instructions (updated Oct. 26, 2012). Then, login or create a new user account. ProgramsThe Academies at each NASA Center will have different areas of focus: Space/Aerospace (NASA Academy), Robotics, Aeronautics, and Planetary Science, and Propulsion. The Academy opportunities are listed below: [NOTE: "Leadership" is a common attribute in the Academies, not restricted to the Space Academy] Space Academies with a broad interdisciplinary focus on Space/Aerospace coupled with science, engineering, technology and commercial ventures.

  • The Messenger Spacecraft Power System Design and Early Mission Performance
    THE MESSENGER SPACECRAFT POWER SYSTEM DESIGN AND EARLY MISSION PERFORMANCE G. Dakermanji, C. Person, J. Jenkins, L. Kennedy, D. Temkin Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, 11100 Johns Hopkins Rd., Laurel, Maryland, 20723-6099, USA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) spacecraft was launched on August 3, 2004. The spacecraft will be inserted into Mercury orbit in March 2011 for one year of orbital operation. During the mission, the spacecraft distance to the Sun will vary between approximately 1 and 0.3 Astronomical Units (AU), imposing severe requirements on the spacecraft thermal and power systems design. The spacecraft is maintained behind a sunshade. The two single-axis, gimbaled solar array panels are designed to withstand the expected high temperatures. A peak power tracking system has been selected to allow operation over the widely varying solar array I-V curves. In order to reduce cost and risk while increasing the likelihood of mission success, the approach taken in the power system design, including the solar arrays, was to use conventional design, materials, and fabrication techniques. 1. MISSION DESCRIPTION a. Launch Configuration Sunshade MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging), shown in Fig. 1, is a Battery NASA Discovery Program spacecraft designed and built by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). It will orbit the planet Mercury for one Earth year of orbital operation. Most of what is known about Mercury comes from the Mariner 10 spacecraft. Using three flybys, Mariner 10 was able to map about 45% of the planet surface during a one-year period between 1974 and 1975.

  • NASA APPEL 2013 Annual Report

Beginning with the Program and Project Management Initiative (PPMI) in 1988, which was founded in response to the Challenger disaster, NASA leadership identified a need to develop program and project management excellence in the workforce through training. Ten years later, the agency outgrew the PPMI model as its mission portfolio and workforce evolved. The renamed APPEL grew to place a greater emphasis on curriculum, certification, team performance, and knowledge sharing across NASA. Since then, the Academy’s initiatives have provided support to the agency’s technical workforce through its integrated curriculum, team support services, and knowledge sharing activities. In January 2012, a Congressionally established advisory group called the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel, recommended that NASA establish a single focal point within the agency to develop the policy and requirements necessary to integrate knowledge capture across programs, projects, and centers. In response, NASA appointed its first-ever agency-wide Chief Knowledge Officer (CKO), building upon of the wealth of knowledge sharing activities already underway across NASA, including APPEL.

  • 10 Things to Know About NASA's Glenn Research Center
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration 10 Things to Know About NASA’s Glenn Research Center 1. NASA Glenn’s economic impact in Ohio exceeds $1.4 billion per year. According to an economic impact study by Cleveland State University’s Center for Economic Development, Glenn generates over $700 million annually in economic activity and creates over 7,000 jobs. NASA Glenn also generates nearly $500 million in labor income and approximately $120 million in tax revenue per year. 2. Glenn scientists and engineers are prolific inventors. The research center holds more than 725 patents and has won over 120 R&D 100 Awards, also known as the Oscars of innovation. That’s more than any other NASA center. Glenn strives to increase private sector revenue and contribute to private sector job growth by licensing its inventions. 3. Every U.S. aircraft has NASA Glenn technology on board. NASA is with you when you fly. Today’s commercial airliners are safer, quieter and more fuel efficient because of NASA Glenn technology. Glenn advancements such as ice detection and air traffic control systems have made flying safer. Glenn jet engine combustors have resulted in more efficient aircraft engines, and Glenn developed nozzle chevrons are used to make the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and new 737 MAX quieter. 4. Glenn is transforming aviation by developing revolutionary technologies for aircraft and the national airspace system. Glenn is working to dramatically improve efficiency, reduce costs and noise, and maintain safety in crowded skies. The center leads the agency’s effort to develop hybrid electric propulsion systems for commercial passenger aircraft.
