Thick ceramic coating development for industrial gas turbines - A program plan

A program plan on a NASA-Lewis funded program is presented, in which effectiveness of thick ceramic coatings in preventing hot corrosion and in providing thermal insulation to gas turbine engine components are to be investigated. Preliminary analysis of the benefit of the thermal insulating effect of this coating on decreasing cooling air and simplifying component design appears very encouraging. The program is in the preliminary stages of obtaining starting materials and establishing procedures. Numerous graphs, tables and photographs are included.

The Space Tug mission role and program planning.

More than half of the planned payload programs require a velocity increment beyond that nominally provided by the Space Shuttle. The reusable Space Tug system can satisfy this placement requirement and, in addition, can provide other, vital operational services for payloads in the 1980s. To realize maximum operational and economic benefits, it is desired that an orbital propulsive stage such as the Space Tug be available concurrently with Space Shuttle initial operations. Potential tug missions, significant interfaces, system characteristics, and configuration alternatives are discussed in conjunction with salient program planning factors.

Manned Orbital Transfer Vehicle (MOTV). Volume 6: Five year program plan

The five year program plan for the manned orbit transfer vehicle (MOTV) is presented. The planning, schedules, cost estimates, and supporting data (objectives, constraints, assumptions, etc.) associated with the development of the MOTV are discussed. The plan, in addition to the above material, identifies the supporting research and technology required to resolve issues critical to MOTV development.

Nuclear electric propulsion for planetary science missions: NASA technology program planning

This paper presents the status of technology program planning to develop those Nuclear Electric Propulsion technologies needed to meet the advanced propulsion system requirements for planetary science missions in the next century. The technology program planning is based upon technologies with significant development heritage: ion electric propulsion and the SP-100 space nuclear power technologies. Detailed plans are presented for the required ion electric propulsion technology development and demonstration. Closer coordination between space nuclear power and space electric propulsion technology programs is a necessity as technology plans are being further refined in light of NEP concept definition and possible early NEP flight activities.

NASA Year 2000 (Y2K) Program Plan

NASA initiated the Year 2000 (Y2K) program in August 1996 to address the challenges imposed on Agency software, hardware, and firmware systems by the new millennium. The Agency program is centrally managed by the NASA Chief Information Officer, with decentralized execution of program requirements at each of the nine NASA Centers, Headquarters and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The purpose of this Program Plan is to establish Program objectives and performance goals; identify Program requirements; describe the management structure; and detail Program resources, schedules, and controls. Project plans are established for each NASA Center, Headquarters, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
