Automotive Gas Turbine Power System-Performance Analysis Code

An open cycle gas turbine numerical modelling code suitable for thermodynamic performance analysis (i.e. thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption, cycle state points, working fluid flowrates etc.) of automotive and aircraft powerplant applications has been generated at the NASA Lewis Research Center's Power Technology Division. The use this code can be made available to automotive gas turbine preliminary design efforts, either in its present version, or, assuming that resources can be obtained to incorporate empirical models for component weight and packaging volume, in later version that includes the weight-volume estimator feature. The paper contains a brief discussion of the capabilities of the presently operational version of the code, including a listing of input and output parameters and actual sample output listings.

ASF RADARSAT Processor System Performance Summary

The Alaska SAR Facility (ASF) located at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) has been in operations since 1991 serving as a key data acquisition, processing, archive and distribution center for a number of polar orbiting SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satelittes including ERS 1/2 and JERS-1.

(abstract) System Performance of the Joint Galileo/Mars Observer/Ulysses 1993 Gravitational Wave Experiment

From March 21 to April 11, 1993, the Galileo, Mars Observer, and Ulysses spacecraft were tracked almost continuously in a coincidence experiment to search for low-frequency (~millihertz) gravitational radiation. We report here a first statistical assessment of the noise characteristics of the data, with particular attention to the performance of the radio science instrumentation itself.

Mars Exploration Rover heat rejection system performance - comparison of ground and flight data

This paper will describe the various design modifications made on the MER HRS from that of Mars Pathfinder spacecraft. A description of the flight performance during the seven-month cruise of the spacecraft will be given. A comparison of the performance on the ground and the flight will be presented. Any significant deviation in the flight performance will be described.

ACCESS: Design and Sub-System Performance

Establishing improved spectrophotometric standards is important for a broad range of missions and is relevant to many astrophysical problems. ACCESS, "Absolute Color Calibration Experiment for Standard Stars", is a series of rocket-borne sub-orbital missions and ground-based experiments designed to enable improvements in the precision of the astrophysical flux scale through the transfer of absolute laboratory detector standards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to a network of stellar standards with a calibration accuracy of 1% and a spectral resolving power of 500 across the 0.35 -1.7 micrometer bandpass.

Meteorological Observations and System Performance From the NASA D3R's First 5 Years

The NASA dual-frequency, dual-polarization, Doppler radar (D3R) was conceived and developed to support ground validation (GV) operations of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The D3R operates in the same frequencies bands, Ku- and Ka-band, as GPMs dual-frequency precipitation radar enabling direct comparisons of microphysical observations of precipitation. To support the GPM GVmission, D3R substantively participated in four field campaigns in North America with diverse geographic features covering both winter and summer conditions.

SARDA HITL #6 Simulation: System Performance Analysis (Initial Results)

This presentation discusses the results of the 6th human-in-the-loop simulation of the Spot and Runway Departure Advisor (SARDA). SARDA is a research prototype decision support tool for both Air Traffic Control Tower controllers and airlines ramp controllers to assit in controlling surface traffic of a busy airport. Data was collected during the human-in-the-loop simulations of SARDA for ramp operatoins at Charlotte International Airport (Oct-Nov 2014). The performance results include taxi time, taxi delay, total delay, and runway usage.
