  • RISK THRESHOLDS for HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT by ROBERT PAUL
    DEFINING, CHARACTERIZING, AND ESTABLISHING “SAFE ENOUGH” RISK THRESHOLDS FOR HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT by ROBERT PAUL OCAMPO B.A., Haverford College, 2003 M.S., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences 2016 This thesis entitled: Defining, Characterizing, and Establishing “Safe Enough” Risk Thresholds for Human Space Flight written by Robert Paul Ocampo has been approved for the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences Dr. David Klaus Dr. James Nabity Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline iii Ocampo, Robert Paul (Ph.D., Aerospace Engineering Sciences) Defining, Characterizing, and Establishing “Safe Enough” Risk Thresholds for Human Space Flight Thesis directed by Professor David M. Klaus No spacecraft will ever be perfectly safe. Consequently, engineers must strive to design, develop, and operate spacecraft that are safe enough. This thesis presents a conceptual framework for defining and characterizing “safe” and distinguishing “safe enough” from “not safe enough.” Space Shuttle and Soyuz safety records are presented in the context of this framework, and compared to the safety records of various modes of transportation (automotive, rail, boating, general aviation, commercial aviation) and adventure sport activities (skydiving, mountaineering, SCUBA diving). From these comparisons, a heuristic method for predicting space flight risk is derived. This method, which is built upon the inverse correlation between risk and usage, can coarsely predict risk in the absence of detailed spacecraft data.

  • Walking the High Ground: the Manned Orbiting Laboratory And
    Walking the High Ground: The Manned Orbiting Laboratory and the Age of the Air Force Astronauts by Will Holsclaw Department of History Defense Date: April 9, 2018 Thesis Advisor: Andrew DeRoche, Department of History Thesis Committee: Matthew Gerber, Department of History Allison Anderson, Department of Aerospace Engineering 2 i Abstract This thesis is an examination of the U.S. Air Force’s cancelled – and heretofore substantially classified – Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) space program of the 1960s, situating it in the broader context of military and civilian space policy from the dawn of the Space Age in the 1950s to the aftermath of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Several hundred documents related to the MOL have recently been declassified by the National Reconnaissance Office, and these permit historians a better understanding of the origins of the program and its impact. By studying this new windfall of primary source material and linking it with more familiar and visible episodes of space history, this thesis aims to reevaluate not only the MOL program itself but the dynamic relationship between America’s purportedly bifurcated civilian and military space programs. Many actors in Cold War space policy, some well-known and some less well- known, participated in the secretive program and used it as a tool for intertwining the interests of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with the Air Force and reshaping national space policy. Their actions would lead, for a time, to an unprecedented militarization of NASA by the Department of Defense which would prove to be to the benefit of neither party.

Forskningsinstituten sysslar i huvudsak med att utveckla forskningsidéer för militär tillämpning. Konstruktionsbyråerna utvecklar och testar prototyper. Vetenskapliga produktionsassociationer kombinerar FoU- verksamhet med egen tillverkningskapacitet. Sammantaget består försvars- industrins FoU-komponent av nästan 600 organisationer. Av dessa är cirka 300 forskningsinstitut, knappt 130 konstruktionsbyråer och ungefär 170 vetenskapliga produktionsassociationer. Geografiskt är FoU-organisationerna koncentrerade till större städer. I och omkring Moskva finns nästan hälften av alla FoU-institut, medan St. Petersburg har en femtedel av instituten. Den militära FoU-strukturen kan indelas i sju huvud- sakliga branscher: flyg, rymdteknologi, skeppsbyggnad, konventionella vapen, radioelektronik och kommunikationssystem, ammunition och speciella kemikalier samt kärnteknik.

  • The Chelomei Alternative to Buran
    “LKS” The Chelomei alternative to Buran Giuseppe De Chiara 31 – 08 – 2012 All the drawings are copyright of the author Foreword In 1976 the Soviet government formally authorized the “head-designer” Valentin Glushko to proceed with the Buran project, intended as a mere Space Shuttle copy at that times in advanced development stage. The Buran project, and its massive launcher Energia (strongly supported by Glushko himself) were the targets of several critics among Russian space designers and scientists. One of them was the authored Vladimir Chelomei, a Glushko’s former alley, and also responsible of the famous OKB-52 (from which was sorted the Proton rocket, the TKS spacecraft and the Almaz and Salyut space stations). Chelomei affirmed that the Buran project was too big, heavy and expensive for the Russian possibilities of that times so he proposed, as alternative, a scaled down copy of the actual Space Shuttle, such spacecraft would be lighter and launched by one of his Proton rockets. The result of such idea was the LKS ( Легкий Космический Самолет – Light Spaceplane) project, proposed in 1979 as alternative to Buran/Energia. The LKS maintained all the main features of the original Shuttle/Buran project only scaled down, included a cargo bay with the possibility to carry a wide range of both military and civilian payloads to LEO. In 1980 Chelomei ordered the construction of a full scale mock-up that was realized by his team in only one month of full ahead work, as way to further stimulate Soviet authorities in his direction. In 1982 was officially ordered to stop Chelomei any further activity about the LKS project and was reprised to had expended more than 400.000 rubles in a program not formally authorized as the LKS was.

  • ISS Systems Engineering Case Study
    International Space Station Systems Engineering Case Study Dr. Bill Stockman InternationalJoe SpaceBoyle Station Systems EngineeringDr. John Bacon Case Study Air Force Center for Systems Engineering Approved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited The views expressed in this Case Study are those of the author(s) and do not reflect the official policy or position of NASA, the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the United States Government. FOREWORD One of the objectives of the Air Force Center for Systems Engineering (AFCSE) is to develop case studies focusing on the application of systems engineering principles within various aerospace programs. The intent of these case studies is to examine a broad spectrum of program types and a variety of learning principles using the Friedman-Sage Framework to guide overall analysis. In addition to this case, the following studies are available at the AFCSE website. ■ Global Positioning System (space system) ■ Hubble Telescope (space system) ■ Theater Battle Management Core System (complex software development) ■ F-111 Fighter (joint program with significant involvement by the Office of the Secretary of Defense) ■ C-5 Cargo Airlifter (very large, complex aircraft) ■ A-10 Warthog (ground attack) ■ Global Hawk ■ KC-135 Simulator These cases support practitioners of systems engineering and are also used in the academic instruction in systems engineering within military service academies and at both civilian and military graduate schools. Each of the case studies comprises elements of success as well as examples of systems engineering decisions that, in hindsight, were not optimal. Both types of examples are useful for learning. Plans exist for future case studies focusing on various space systems, additional aircraft programs, munitions programs, joint service programs, logistics-led programs, science and technology/laboratory efforts, and a variety of commercial systems.
