It is my sincere hope and expectation that you will find the next few days to be a rewarding experience for you as we learn about the work being done in radar by our colleagues all over the world Bob McMillan and as we renew old friendships and Conference Chair acquaintances. In keeping with the heritage of Huntsville as a key center in the history of space exploration, the theme of this year’s meeting is Radar – Exploring the Universe. Although we haven’t yet received radar signals from outside our solar system, this year’s theme encourages us to expand our vision to include ways that radar technology can impact our society, Planet Earth, our solar system, and the universe in the 21st century through new, creative, and exciting applications. The organizing committee has planned a meeting, which will include formal high quality technical sessions, tutorials, and exhibits, as well as informal gatherings to focus on topics of interest that will expand each attendees’ knowledge and unite us in exploring new ideas of mutual interest. We continue to expand the tutorial program that has become a vital part of the conference experience in this series of meetings. This year we are offering four tutorials on Monday evening and eight on Thursday morning and afternoon. New topics this year include Radar Analysis Using MATLAB, Kalman Filters, Adaptive Beamforming, and Electromagnetic Analysis. It’s not too late to sign up for one or more of these courses. Due to generous grants from the Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation, we are once again able to provide support for students who are US citizens to attend this conference. Several students will be presenting poster papers, and I encourage all attendees to stop by the student posters area and ask questions about the excellent work they are doing so that they may be encouraged to pursue careers in radar engineering. We need their fresh ideas and insights. As in prior years, we will honor the best of our profession at our awards banquet where we will present the Fred Nathanson Memorial Radar Award to a young radar engineer and the annual IEEE Warren White Award for excellence in radar engineering. We will also recognize new IEEE Fellows and the IEEE Region 3 Employer Performance Development Award. 1 Welcome from the General Chair (concluded) We will have 20 exhibitors at this year’s conference. I encourage all attendees to visit the exhibits and discuss the outstanding products and services provided by our exhibitors, who have contributed significantly to this conference both monetarily and by showing their radar-related products. I am deeply honored to serve as General Chair for this year’s IEEE Radar Conference. I would like to acknowledge the contributions of the members of the organizing committee for their hard work, their attention to detail, and their good humor. It is my great pleasure to acknowledge with gratitude generous grants from Dynetics, Inc. and the Raytheon Company, both in Huntsville. Their interest in and concern for the success of the conference is deeply appreciated. I speak for the organizing committee and the entire Huntsville community when I say welcome to RadarCon03. We hope you have a fun, interesting, and rewarding experience. Bob McMillan 2 Welcome from the Radar Systems Panel The Huntsville Section of the IEEE, the Radar Systems Panel of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS), and the IEEE Region 3 are pleased to co-sponsor the 2003 IEEE Radar Conference as part of an extremely successful series of radar conferences.

Cannon NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama Corey Brown Aerojet-Rocketdyne, West Palm Beach, Florida 12.1 Introduction Earth to orbit launch vehicles are propelled by rocket engines and motors, both liquid and solid. This chapter will discuss liquid engines. The heart of a launch vehicle is its engine. The remainder of the vehicle (with the notable exceptions of the payload and guidance system) is an aero structure to support the propellant tanks which provide the fuel and oxidizer to feed the engine or engines. The basic principle behind a rocket engine is straightforward. The engine is a means to convert potential thermochemical energy of one or more propellants into exhaust jet kinetic energy. Fuel and oxidizer are burned in a combustion chamber where they create hot gases under high pressure. These hot gases are allowed to expand through a nozzle. The molecules of hot gas are first constricted by the throat of the nozzle (de-Laval nozzle) which forces them to accelerate; then as the nozzle flares outwards, they expand and further accelerate. It is the mass of the combustion gases times their velocity, reacting against the walls of the combustion chamber and nozzle, which produce thrust according to Newton’s third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. [1] Solid rocket motors are cheaper to manufacture and offer good values for their cost.

    PEENEMUENDE, NATIONAL SOCIALISM, and the V-2 MISSILE, 1924-1945 Michael

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ENGINEERING CONSENT: PEENEMUENDE, NATIONAL SOCIALISM, AND THE V-2 MISSILE, 1924-1945 Michael Brian Petersen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Jeffrey Herf Departmen t of History This dissertation is the story of the German scientists and engineers who developed, tested, and produced the V-2 missile, the world’s first liquid -fueled ballistic missile. It examines the social, political, and cultural roots of the prog ram in the Weimar Republic, the professional world of the Peenemünde missile base, and the results of the specialists’ decision to use concentration camp slave labor to produce the missile. Previous studies of this subject have been the domain of either of sensationalistic journalists or the unabashed admirers of the German missile pioneers. Only rarely have historians ventured into this area of inquiry, fruitfully examining the history of the German missile program from the top down while noting its admi nistrative battles and technical development. However, this work has been done at the expense of a detailed examination of the mid and lower -level employees who formed the backbone of the research and production effort. This work addresses that shortcomi ng by investigating the daily lives of these employees and the social, cultural, and political environment in which they existed. It focuses on the key questions of dedication, motivation, and criminality in the Nazi regime by asking “How did Nazi authori ties in charge of the missile program enlist the support of their employees in their effort?” “How did their work translate into political consent for the regime?” “How did these employees come to view slave labor as a viable option for completing their work?” This study is informed by traditions in European intellectual and social history while borrowing from different methods of sociology and anthropology.

  • The Rocket That Started It

    The Rocket That Started It

    The V-2 - The Rocket That Started It All Presented by John Halchak Retired Senior Fellow in the Engineering department of Rocketdyne (now named Aerojet Rocketdyne), Canoga Park, California The German A-4 rocket was renamed by the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, as “Vengeance weapon No. 2”, and became commonly known as the V-2. It was the world’s first true ballistic missile. It also was the first man-made vehicle to enter outer space. Over 3000 of these were launched at various targets in WWII, killing perhaps 9000 people. However, far more slave laborers died producing it, perhaps as many as 25,000. Although rushed into production, the V-2 essentially was a research vehicle, full of design and production flaws. Materials shortages in Germany required its designers to utilize some creative substitutions in material selections. It was a leap in technology, achieved in a very short time, yet most of its design features still are common in today’s launch vehicles. Although it was a technological achievement, the fact cannot be ignored that it was produced in support of one of history’s most evil regimes, and its mass production plant involved untold human suffering and the death of thousands. The engineers developing the V-2 had been attracted by the prospect of exploring space; they found too late that they had entered into a Faustian bargain from which they could not escape even if they had wanted to. Afterwards, the V-2 was the genesis for both the American and Russian space and missile programs, and eventually every other country’s program.
