It’s a value that endures in large part through the efforts of its employees. Here’s a look at some of the community volunteering activities Boeing people undertake. BOEING FRONTIERS / APRIL 2009 / VOLUME VII, ISSUE XI 3 Something from nothing Meet the Shared Services Group team whose work ensures that discarded products and 22 materials are disposed of properly. Its efforts also help Boeing get the optimum value from unneeded assets—and meet the company’s environmental goals.

Because the SRB plume is hot and erosive, a robust Tungsten Piston Calorimeter was developed to compliment measurements made by off-the- shelf sensors. Witness materials were installed and their melting and erosion response to the Mach 2 / 4000°F / 4-second duration plume was observed. The data show that the specification used for the design of the MFD thermal protection system over-predicts heat rates by a factor of 3 and under-predicts pressures by a factor of 2. These findings will be used to baseline NASA Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and develop innovative MFD designs for the Space Launch System (SLS) before this vehicle becomes operational in 2017.
