H2O Electrolysis with Impure Water Source - Final Report

This Phase III final report summarizes the Phase I research and development work performed during the IRAD FY 2018-Cycle 1, Stage C-Phase I project March 15, 2018 through August 17, 2018 and during the Phase II continuation request which funded the research and development November 26, 2018 through September 30, 2019. A Phase III proposal was accepted to continue the technology development, but due to the unavailability of the Principal Investigators to complete the proposed PhasE III work, the Phase III project was re-scoped to complete a final report on the research and development work that was previously completed as a wrap-up of this IRAD project

RST CGI: Final Verification and Calibration of Prism and Polarizer Flight Units

As part of its technology demonstration, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) will demonstrate point source spectroscopy and polarization measurements of disks. The spectroscopy mode is a zero-deviation Amici prism and slit which is deployed to the planet position after an imaging detection. The Wollaston prism polarization optics allow for imaging two orthogonal polarization states simultaneously. The CGI spectral characterization modes, designed and built at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), have a spectral resolution of R50 in two 15% bandpass centered at 660nm and 730nm. There are duplicate Wollaston prism channels, clocked 45 degrees with respect to one another to completely characterize the instrument polarization effects and recover the Stokes parameters of the targeted disk. The Wollaston design and optical elements are a contribution by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, with final alignment and testing being done at GSFC. The spectroscopy mode is optimized to target Methane absorption features around 730nm, keeping the spectral resolution as low as possible to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and hence reduce detection time. We highlight the requirements for these modes, the ground-to-orbit calibration process, and the operations required to use a deployable slit on a CGI point source in the presence of pointing error. We also provide further detail on the optomechanical design, testing results from the final as-built flight units, verification process, and performance of the as-built flight assemblies.

CALIPSO Final Data Product Status

The CALIPSO project is preparing for the end of the mission in October 2025. In this poster we provide detailed summaries of each final data products that will be released, a concise description of the changes between each of these final products and their previous versions, and a target release schedule. A summary of all of the steps that will be carried outby the CALIPSO project during the remainder of the mission for long term data discoverability and accessibility will also be provided.

Development of Methods of Increasing Terminal Flexibility and Control Authority: Option Year 1 Final Report

The focus of the NRA contract is to develop a What-if Analysis Tool for planning Departure Management Programs (DMP) at airports. This final report summarizes the work conducted throughout the option year, with a focus on use case specification for the what-if analysis capability and the implementation of the What-if Analysis Tool and its application to traffic and weather scenarios at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).

ADVANCED VALVE TECHNOLOGY FOR SPACECRAFT ENGINES FINAL REPORT

This final report describes the work that was done to determine the state-of-the-art of valves required for space exploration vehicles and the steps that were taken to advance the technology. Interviews were held with personnel of major prime manufacturers to determine current problems and current and future requirements. Manufacturers were surveyed by mail to determine what equipment is presently being produced. An extensive search of patent office files was made to determine if any novel valve concepts not already applied to aerospace valves might exist. A literature search was conducted to provide the necessary technical information that was required for the program. Several extensive studies were made to determine the effects on materials resulting from use in space applications, and an investigation of the basic phenomena of valve seat wear was initiated. With the information developed in the surveys and studies, the significant problems associated with valves were identified and are described under "Discussion of Problems. " A novel valve concept was developed and a prototype valve was built and successfully tested. A seal compound of Teflon and stainless steel was developed which possesses superior cold flow characteristics while retaining the desirable properties of the basic Teflon material.

Goddard summer workshop program in measurement and simulation of the space environment final report, jun. 18 - sep. 18, 1963

This Final Report describes the actual studies conducted by four Summer Workshop teams. The problems they tackled were suggested by various Goddard activities. All scientific groups within GSFC were invited to submit problems which they desired to be investigated in-house by the Summer Workshop. The groups met with the principal investigator (a visiting professor) of each team in a pre-Workshop conference held in May. Priorities were assigned to the many items submitted and a study program was formulated. Among the principal factors which determined the areas selected for investigation were: the time element, the availability of professor-specialists representing particular disciplines, and the Center's ability to support the effort in providing needed facilities and work space.
