Oak Ridge Subcritical Assembly Final Design and Current Progress [Slides]

This presentation shows how ORSA design has moved from conceptual to implementable. Additionally, that the ORSA hands-on experiments will remain subcritical under normal and credible abnormal conditions it is fully assembled k eff = 0.95024 ± 0.0003 and USL = 0.9763. This presentation finds locations will have minimal security and safety basis impact. Available options can meet security criteria for ORSA material and Options will have less mass than the ANS-8.1 single parameter limit for 235 U either by segregation or functioning as its own facility. Further, Locations are feasible for a diversity of students and the implementation of ORSA will improve upon NCSP T&E’s vision to remain adaptable and responsive.

The SERTS-97 Rocket Experiment on Study Activity on the Sun: Flight 36.167-GS on 1997 November 18

This paper describes mainly the 1997 version of the Solar EUV Rocket Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS-97), a scientific experiment that operated on NASA's suborbital rocket flight 36.167-GS. Its function was to study activity on the Sun and to provide a cross calibration for the CDS instrument on the SOHO satellite. The experiment was designed, built, and tested by the Solar Physics Branch of the Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar Physics at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Other essential sections of the rocket were built under the management of the Sounding Rockets Program Office. These sections include the electronics, timers, IGN despin, the SPARCS pointing controls, the S-19 flight course correction section, the rocket motors, the telemetry, ORSA, and OGIVE.
