    SSC17-X-02 Breaking (Space) Barriers for 50 Years: The Past, Present, and Future of the DoD Space Test Program Barbara Manganis Braun, Sam Myers Sims, James McLeroy The Aerospace Corporation 2155 Louisiana Blvd NE, Suite 5000, Albuquerque, NM 87110-5425; 505-846-8413 [email protected] Colonel Ben Brining USAF SMC/ADS 3548 Aberdeen Ave SE, Kirtland AFB NM 87117-5776; 505-846-8812 [email protected] ABSTRACT 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the Department of Defense Space Test Program’s (STP) first launch. STP’s predecessor, the Space Experiments Support Program (SESP), launched its first mission in June of 1967; it used a Thor Burner II to launch an Army and a Navy satellite carrying geodesy and aurora experiments. The SESP was renamed to the Space Test Program in July 1971, and has flown over 568 experiments on over 251 missions to date. Today the STP is managed under the Air Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Advanced Systems and Development Directorate (SMC/AD), and continues to provide access to space for DoD-sponsored research and development missions. It relies heavily on small satellites, small launch vehicles, and innovative approaches to space access to perform its mission. INTRODUCTION Today STP continues to provide access to space for DoD-sponsored research and development missions, Since space first became a viable theater of operations relying heavily on small satellites, small launch for the Department of Defense (DoD), space technologies have developed at a rapid rate. Yet while vehicles, and innovative approaches to space access.

We started research on rocket projectiles in 1953. Now we have become a leading comprehensive manufacturer carrying out development and manufacture of rocket projectiles in Japan, and are active in a large number of fields such as rockets for scientific observation, rockets for launching practical satellites, and defense-related systems, etc. In the space science field, we cooperate with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to develop and manufacture various types of observational rockets named K (Kappa), L (Lambda), and S (Sounding), and the M (Mu) rockets. With the M rockets, we have contributed to the launch of many scientific satellites. In 2013, efforts resulted in the successful launch of an Epsilon Rocket prototype, a next-generation solid rocket which inherited the 2 technologies of all the aforementioned rockets. In the practical satellite booster rocket field, We cooperates with the JAXA and has responsibilities in the solid propellant field including rocket boosters, upper-stage motors in development of the N, H-I, H-II, and H-IIA H-IIB rockets. We have also achieved excellent results in development of rockets for material experiments and recovery systems, as well as the development of equipment for use in a space environment or experimentation. In the defense field, we have developed and manufactured a variety of rocket systems and rocket motors for guided missiles, playing an important role in Japanese defense.

  • The Modified Fuel Turbopump of 2Nd Stage Engine for H3 Launch Vehicle
    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2017-189 7TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) The Modified Fuel Turbopump of 2nd stage engine for H3 launch vehicle Naoki Nagao*, Hideaki Nanri*, Koichi Okita*, Yohei Ishizu**, Shinnosuke Yabuki** and Shinichiro Kohno** *Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency 2-1-1 Sengen, Tsukuba-shi, Ibaraki 305-8505 **IHI Corporation 229 Tonogaya Mizuho-machi, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo 190-1297 Abstract The turbine of fuel turbopump of 2nd stage engine for H3 launch vehicle was changed from a partial admission type to a full admission type to meet the requirement of longer firing duration in a flight. The full admission type had an advantage of increasing the efficiency because of the uniform flow in circumference direction, on the other hand, had a disadvantage of decreasing the efficiency caused with the smaller height of turbine blade. The design of turbine was carefully modified and it was verified with experiments that the turbine had 10% higher performance than the previous design. 1. Introduction The next generation Japanese mainstay launch vehicle; H3 launch vehicle, has been developed since April 2014 to increase the launch capability of domestic launchers and to enhance the international competitiveness based on the “Basic Plan on Space Policy” [1]. As the result of system study on H3 launch vehicle, the second stage engine of H- IIA/B rocket, named LE-5B-2 is modified and adopted to H3 launch vehicle, because the performance of LE-5B-2 almost meets the requirement of the system and the high reliability of LE-5B series has been proved in the long-term operation.

  • CRYOTE (Cryogenic Orbital Testbed) Concept
    CRYOTE (Cryogenic Orbital Testbed) Concept Mari Gravlee* and Bernard Kutter† United Launch Alliance, Centennial, CO Mark Wollen ‡ Innovative Engineering Solutions, Murrieta, CA Noah Rhys § Yetispace, Inc., Huntsville, AL Laurie Walls ** NASA Kennedy Space Center, FL Demonstrating cryo-fluid management (CFM) technologies in space is critical for advances in long duration space missions. Current space-based cryogenic propulsion is viable for hours, not the weeks to years needed by space exploration and space science. CRYogenic Orbital TEstbed (CRYOTE) provides an affordable low-risk environment to demonstrate a broad array of critical CFM technologies that cannot be tested in Earth’s gravity. These technologies include system chilldown, transfer, handling, health management, mixing, pressure control, active cooling, and long-term storage. United Launch Alliance is partnering with Innovative Engineering Solutions, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and others to develop CRYOTE to fly as an auxiliary payload between the primary payload and the Centaur upper stage on an Atlas V rocket. Because satellites are expensive, the space industry is largely risk averse to incorporating unproven systems or conducting experiments using flight hardware that is supporting a primary mission. To minimize launch risk, the CRYOTE system will only activate after the primary payload is separated from the rocket. Flying the testbed as an auxiliary payload utilizes Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle performance excess to cost-effectively demonstrate enhanced CFM.
