STS-114: Discovery Post MMT Press Conference

Bruce Buckingham of NASA Public Affairs hosted this press conference. Wayne Hill, Space Shuttle Deputy Program Manager; John Muratore, Shuttle Systems and Integration Manager; Mike Wetmore, Director for Shuttle Processing were present. Wayne started with a video from Shuttle Logistics Depot showing details of a point sensor box commonly named the black box. Work with the trouble shooting continues on a day to day basis, no definite launching date is set. John reports that they are in a mission support mode all over the country until the sensor problem is solved. Mike reports his team will complete scrub and securing tasks through the next day, restore the facility to its normal mode, and will start to a four day process of getting back to launch once trouble shooting is completed. Tanking test, thermal environment, problem identification, engine cut-off sensor problems, sensors, risk, design reviews, test and analysis, correlation of the problem with Columbia, are some of the topics covered with the News media.

Space Shuttle Status News Conference

Richard Gilbech, External Tank "Tiger Team" Lead, begins this space shuttle news conference with detailing the two major objectives of the team. The objectives include: 1) Finding the root cause of the foam loss on STS-114; and 2) Near and long term improvements for the external tank. Wayne Hale, Space Shuttle Program Manager, presents a chart to explain the external tank foam loss during STS-114. He gives a possible launch date for STS-121 after there has been a repair to the foam on the External Tank. He further discusses the changes that need to be made to the surrounding areas of the plant in New Orleans, due to Hurricane Katrina. Bill Gerstemaier, NASA Associate Administrator for Space Operations, elaborates on the testing of the external tank foam loss. The discussion ends with questions from the news media about a fix for the foam, replacement of the tiles, foam loss avoidance, the root cause of foam loss and a possible date for a new external tank to be shipped to NASA Kennedy Space Center.

Outcomes of the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference for Aeronautical Spectrum and Applications

At the conclusion of a nearly four year study cycle following the closing of the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12), the 2015 WRC in November of 2015 considered a number of agenda items and issues relevant to systems and spectrum allocations supporting communications, navigation and surveillance for the operation of civil aviation. Among a number of WRC-15 agenda items and issues, the key agenda items affecting civil aviation included: unmanned aircraft systems use of the Fixed Satellite Service for command and control communications; global flight tracking; new allocations to International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT); and protection of the Fixed Satellite Service to support safe operation of aircraft. A number of other agenda items affecting or potentially affecting civil aviation were also addressed by WRC-15. In this paper we describe the outcomes of WRC-15 for these civil aeronautical-relevant issues. We then outline the civil aviation-related agenda items and issues that will be considered at the upcoming 2019 WRC.

ASTM International Conference on Additive Manufacturing – 2022

The In-Situ Project: Correlating In-situ monitoring data and Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) methods to characterize defect populations in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) material NDE is critical to enable the safe use of additive manufactured (AM) parts in aerospace applications. However, traditional NDE methods are not fully adaptable to complex AM geometries to appropriately screen for critical defects, and L-PBF processes inherently generate defects. In-situ monitoring techniques can give information about the quality of the build process and indicate process variations that could potentially create defects. Proven, causal correlations between in-situ monitoring indications and resulting defects are needed to inform about the final quality of the part. Thus, the development of a new approach is necessary. NASA started a two-phase study that would investigate techniques for characterizing defect populations in L-PBF material, first in material with induced defects, then in a nominal L-PBF process, by correlating in-situ, NDE, and serial sectioning data. Objectives also include the evaluation of seeded defect methodologies for realistic defect creation, creating a baseline of defect populations in a Qualified Material Process (QMP), characterizing the effect of heat treatment, and correlating defect populations with tensile and fatigue properties. By comparing computed tomography images, in-situ monitoring images, and metallography images, the team has been able to draw preliminary conclusions. They include a better understanding of the limitation of the NDE tools, learning about the “healing” of the samples observed during layer building and a comparison study on different laser power variation samples. Those preliminary conclusions will help dictate the follow-up work that will be presented at the conference.
