- 8 cm sample mirror; 0.5 m test mirror with 20 m radius
- Characterize composites (polymer and carbon matrix) using hollow isotropic carbon fiber to define structural and optical potential

- bilbro_shaded.ppt

## Overview

- Phase I SBIR program demonstrated feasibility of producing hollow isotropic carbon fibers

- bilbro_shaded.ppt

## Overview (cont’d)

- Fiber produced with strengths up to 4.2 GPa (6.1E5 psi)
- Carbon-carbon composites produced with hollow isotropic fiber compared favorably with standard commercial anisotropic carbon fiber as follows:

- bilbro_shaded.ppt

## Overview (cont’d)

- Hollow fiber composite not yet optimized, nearly same strength as state-of-the-art composite yet 46% lighter
- Isotropic fiber causes less distortion in optical component with temperature change vs. commercial anisotropic graphite fiber composites
- Even higher strengths may be possible with hollow anisotropic fibers, but isotropic fibers provide such good thermal behavior that major development effort will be on isotropic fibers.

- bilbro_shaded.ppt

## Future

- Two-year Phase II SBIR program started at end of January 2001
- Investigating processing variations to reliably produce hollow carbon fiber in quantity
- Mirrors will be produced using the lightweight hollow carbon fibers
- MSFC preparing to run same tests on 0.5 m hollow-fiber mirror as those run on 0.5 m AMSD mirrors

## Oversight Throughout the Supply Chain: Is It Adequate?

## Major Discussion Points

**The FAA shared the results of the audit that the OIG (Office of Inspector General) performed to evaluate the FAA oversight of manufacturers and suppliers.**
**Findings:**
**The FAA risk-based oversight system was not adequate.**
**The FAA did not ensure that manufacturers regularly audited their suppliers.**
**The FAA did not conduct enough supplier audits.**

## Major Discussion Points

**Recommendations from OIG to FAA:**
**FAA to require manufacturers to conduct on-site audits for initial approval of suppliers and periodic audits afterwards.**
**Develop a risk-assessment process that emphasizes those suppliers of flight-critical parts.**
**Reduce the subjectivity of inspectors and require them to evaluate the results of prior audits when performing risk-assessments.**
**The number audits should be correlated with the number of suppliers used by the prime manufacturer.**
**Provide training for inspectors on auditing systems and on processes for documenting the results of reviews.**

## Major Discussion Points

**Comments from industry members of the Panel:**
**Industry uses multiple tools to achieve the highest level of safety**
**Industry believes they have supplier control processes that comply with the regulations and continually improve them.**
**They feel that supplier control processes are more than just “audits”. This includes:**
**On-site Production Approval Holder (PAH) personnel.**
**PAH training and qualification of supplier personnel.**
**PAH quality initiatives flowed to suppliers.**
**Risk-based supplier reviews.**
**Industry supplier control processes have been in place before the OIG audit**

## Major Discussion Points

**FAA & Industry believe adequate oversight exists as demonstrated by compliant supplier control processes that are continually improved.**
**Nevertheless, industry members of the Panel agree with all the recommendations made by the OIG except for the need to require more supplier audits to be performed by the manufacturer.**

## Reaction from the Floor

**The oversight needs to take into account the different categories of parts and their impact on safety (criticality).**
**Some complaints were made regarding limitations imposed on suppliers located in countries not covered by a Bilateral Agreement.**
**A representative of the Department of Transportation (who lead the audit of the FAA) explained the systemic problems discovered during the audit.**

## Outcomes/Additional Ideas

**FAA will address the recommendations identified by the OIG.**
**Industry will support FAA actions as required**

## Coupon Evaluation for GSFC Flight PWBs

*presented by*
**Diane Kolos**
**Materials Engineering Branch**
**NASA Goddard Space Flight Center**
- November 14, 2007

## Introduction

- Coupon as an Indicator of Board Quality
- A coupon is representative sample of the printed circuit board (PCB) designed for destructive analysis.  It is produced on the same manufacturing panel with the PCB and has experienced all of the production processes with the board it represents.
- The coupon is our best tool for determining the acceptability of flight PCBs.
- Failure rate as a function of coupon analysis:
- 26% in 1992              11-15% today
- These rejections are _after_ vendor coupon screening

## Significant Trigger Events	

- Instrument failure at launch site
- On-orbit failure of device
- 1992 - $4 million replacement of 148 boards on one S/C
- Alert against major independent coupon laboratory

## Coupon Testing Basics

- Cross-sectioning technique
- GSFC uses 5 grinding steps and 3 polishing slurries to prepare coupons
- Sample preparation is critical to identification of defects
- Trace to barrel joints are copper and easily smeared
- Thermal Stress Testing
- 		550F for 10 seconds

## GSFC Policies for PCB Procurement	

- Require coupon evaluation for every flight board
- Includes double sided product
- Applicable Specifications
- Rigid boards  6012B  _Class 3/__**A**_
- Uses Performance Specification Sheet for Space & Military Avionics
- Flex boards  6013B
- Must be done at GSFC or a GSFC-approved lab

## Christina Crue and the Maryland Emergency Management Agency Present...

- Exercise Officers
-  10 Rules to Live By

## There Is No Such Thing As Failure – It’s Just A Learning Opportunity 

**Notes:**
Take a deep breath.  
I learned only 1⁄2 of what I know about exercises from trainings or books.  Most I learned from making mistakes and learning from them.

## Rule 10

- Learn How to Win Friends and Influence People

**Notes:**
You are going to be asking a lot from outside agencies and local/federal/state partners.  Make friends so that you can get what you want and get folks to pull through for you.
Dale Carnegie wasn’t wrong
Do favors

## Rule 9

- Know your neighbors

**Notes:**
Regional Exercises – more realistic – can be money savors

## Rule 8

- Nothing is New

**Notes:**
Don’t reinvent the wheel – more than likely someone here has already created it.

## Rule 7

- If It Is New, Share It

**Notes:**
LLIS

## Rule 6

- None of Us Know It All

**Notes:**
Ask for help
Pull in SMEs

## Rule 5

- Bigger Isn’t Better and More Doesn’t Mean Much

**Notes:**
Watch out for scope creep – bigger exercises don’t mean better exercises.  Sometime the true purpose and objectives can be lost.

## Rule 4

- When Working On An Exercise Team Remember the 5 R’s
**Rules**
**Roles**
**Responsibilities**
**Relationships**
**Results**

## Rule 3

- Start With AARs

**Notes:**
Dust them off – more than likely issues identified in old AARs still remain.  Start a spreadsheet and track gaps for corrective action program.

## Rule 2

- It’s More Than Likely Your Exercise Participants Know More About Existing Gaps Than Your Evaluators

**Notes:**
Hotwashing is sooo important.  Don’t forget it.  Make participants feel comfortable sharing what they think the gaps are.  No one likes to be evaluated so make the hotwash easy going.  Give participants several opportunities to provide feedback – verbal and written 

## Rule 1

- You Are Not Alone!

**Notes:**
Introduce yourself to the person next to you.

## Tips to Enhance the HSEEP Cycle

- Link exercises to set strategies
- Prove that you do through Investment Justifications
- Follow through on Improvement Plans
- Work with leadership to use AARs and IPs to improve and prioritize goals and strategies

**Notes:**
Get buy in
Capabilities based planning
Tips for a good IJ
 - Make it specific
 - Make it measurable
 - Show what you did, and where you want to go
 - Partner with other states when possible
 - show a good management structure (i.e. ETIC)
Make sure folks know you are serious about enhancing the statewide system

## TEITAC July 6 DraftMapping against IBM products

- Shannon Rapuano
- IBM Human Ability and Accessibility Center

## Goal: Map products against new structure

- Mapped sample of IBM products against new structure
- Mail/calendaring application, authoring tools, sample applications
- Mainframe operating system with remote access features
- Application for Web portal services and tools to develop content
- Server and kiosk hardware
- The new structure worked well with a few exceptions:
- Conflicts with General Technical and Software provisions
- Applicable provisions skipped due to decision filter
- “All” provisions could not be applied to general products

## Simplification: General Technical Provisions

- 1.2F: All information provided in visual form must also be available in audio & where appropriate, tactile form.
- Applied to all software / Web products
- Requires all the visual information also in audio format – self voicing applications?
- Conflicts with Software provisions for “If visual output...”
- 1.2H: “All information in text must be minimum of 3/16 inch high or where display size not part of product, 14 pt type.”
- Applied to all software products
- Requires all text must be 3/16 in high or 14 pt type
- Conflicts with Software provisions for user display preferences

## If/Then: Some applicable provisions were skipped

- “If software runs on platform with AT support”
- Products on multiple platforms that may have minimal AT support.
- Does product “run on platform with AT support”?  No.
- Focus indicator provision is skipped.
- Visible focus indicator applies even if there is no AT support.
- Recommendation: Move focus provision to “If keyboard...” condition
- Software with audio alerts
- Provisions for “If visual output...”, but not for “If audio output...”
- Audio provision in the General Technical may be overlooked
- Recommendation: Add “If audio output ....” to Software

## Convergence: “All” provisions may not apply

- Hardware -  “If audio output...”
- Most audio provisions only apply to Telecomm (e.g. Magnetic coupling, Interference w/ hearing device, Volume - gain)
- Difficulty applying to non-telecomm products
- Recommendation: “All hardware with audio output” and “Additional provisions for telecomm products with audio output”.

## Summary

- In general, new structure:
- Simplifies requirements
- Identifies applicable requirements using decision tree format
- Supports convergence of technologies
- Mapping real products against the structure validated that the approach is good, but needs refinement
- Work with sub-committees to address and close issues

## Objective - Develop a test method that is:

- Representative of Actual Conditions

- Repeatable and Consistent

- Obtainable by All Labs in _All_ Parts of the World

## Test Method Co-Developed With NPRM

- ...Test Method Perfection

- ...Release NPRM

- Delay Implementation Process

## Discrepancies in Calibration and Requirements

- Cold-Side Heat Flux: 1.5 or 2.0 Btu/ft2 sec?

- Air Inlet Velocity: 2000, 2100, or 2200 ft/min??

- Burner Heat Flux: 13.5 +/-0.5, 15.2 +/- 0.8, or 16.0 +/- 0.8???

*Requirements have changed as more is learned about the equipment*

*Chance for industry to participate in the development of the requirements*

## Objective of Testing, Research, & Round Robin:

-  Establish Similar Calibration Procedure

-  Produce Similar Exposure From Burner

-  Achieve Similar Test Results

## Factors That Can Influence Calibration

-  Air Intake Velocity

-  Air Intake Temperature

-  Fuel Flowrate

-  Fuel Temperature

-  Instrumentation (type/size of thermocouple, calorimeter type)

-  Other Adjustments (position of igniters, static disc, tabs)

-  Fuel Type (Jet A, Diesel, Fuel Oil)

-  Environmental Conditions (relative humidity, barometric pressure)

## Latest Calibration Procedure

- Temperature: (1850 +/- 100oF)

- Adjust Fuel Flowrate to 6.0 +/- 0.2 gal/hr

- Adjust Burner Intake Air Velocity to 2100 +/- 100 ft/min

- Heat Flux: (16.0 +/- 0.8 Btu/ft2 sec)

- After 2-minute warm-up, swing burner into position,
- allow 1 minute stabilization,
- take reading for 30 seconds (once per second) and average,
- swing burner away from flame

- After 2-minute warm-up, swing burner into position,
- allow 1 minute stabilization,
- take reading for 30 seconds (once per second) and average,
- swing burner away from flame

## Air Velocity/Airflow Measurement

- Reasons for measuring airflow at intake location:

- Allows for continuous monitoring

- Prevents removal/disruption of tabs

- Eliminates need to remove burner cone

- Intake velocity = Outlet velocity

## Overview of Mission Status

- Launch on February 10, 1998
- CPU resets fixed in Rev. E software: November, 1999
- GPS system failure
- Utilize operational Doppler and 	precision laser orbits
- Time tagging via ground-segment hardware: June, 1999

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## CPU Resets & Data availability

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## Precision Timing Issues

- Time-tag stability & uniformity
- Spacing between records ~ 0.98 s
- Ultra-Stable-Oscillator clock drift
- Changes in clock frequency alter range travel-time counts
- Timing biases between Range & Orbit
- msec level timing biases yield cm level errors at twice-per-rev

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

## Geosat Timing Stability

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## Example of non-uniform spacing

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## Summary of Timing Stability

- GFO time-tagging is noisy at the 10 μsec level, compared to 1 μsec for Geosat (implies height error at the 0.1 mm level)
- GFO exhibits 10 Hz frame “slips”, but this only occurs in ~ 0.1% of the data
- The uneven spacing of GFO’s records does NOT imply an error in time-tagging

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## USO Height Correction - Geosat

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## Summary of Clock Drift

- GFO’s Doppler beacon oscillator is drifting at a rate 10x worse than Geosat
- The USO height correction is large, but is implicitly corrected during SDR production
- The estimation of the USO height correction can suffer from large bookkeeping errors

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## Timing Biases - Laser Orbits

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## Height Variability - with orbit error

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## Height Variability - no orbit error

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## Summary of Timing Biases

- Before installation of the time-tagging unit timing biases were on the order of seconds
- Timing biases of 1± 1 msec are seen after time-tagging unit installed - acceptable
- Removal of one and two cycle-per-rev orbit error yields expected sea level variability

- GFO Operational Evaluation Workshop

- USNO - July 20, 2000

## NGDR Issues

- Byte-alignment problem in last 5 data fields
- Currently no slot allocated for model wet troposphere correction
- Cases of flagged sigma-H with “good” SSH
- 10 Hz heights not analyzed sufficiently yet
- Need to determine optimal SSB correction

## Finite Element Analysis of

-  Membrane Test Panels
- FEMCI Workshop 2003
- Eric Poole (MSFC/ED22)

## Background

- The Microwave Lightcraft proposal uses 0.25 mm thick SiC/SiC as the primary structure.
- Estimates of structural properties are stiffness of 840 GPa (10x better specific stiffness than titanium) and strength of 2.1 GPa (3x better specific strength than titanium).
- Test facility available for pressure testing large (~60 cm) diaphragm specimens at MSFC.
- Funding was obtained for testing 0.25 mm SiC/SiC panels.

## Test Set-Up

## Finite Element Analysis

- Analysis needed prior to testing to determine dimensions of ring fixture and expected pressure.
- Problem is axisymmetric with large deflections and contact.
- Solved with ABAQUS 6.2.1 using panel (not membrane) elements.
- Analytical loads must be applied to the model carefully, or the solution becomes unstable.

## Load Cases for Original Design

- Existing ring fixture has 12o angle at bonded surface.  Model loaded as follows.

| Case | Load | Radial BC | Damping |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|   Set | 0.1 MPa | Fixed | On |
|   Move | 2 mm | Free | Off |
|   Bolt | 20 kN | Free | Off |
|   Press | 0.5 MPa | Fixed | Off |

## Animation for Original Design

## Results of Original Design

- Final results of the original ring fixture show unacceptable stress at the boundary.

| Applied Pressure (atm) | Center Stress (GPa) | Center Deflection (cm) | Edge Stress (GPa) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 5 | 2.5 | 1.6 | 3.5 |

## Load Cases for Flat Design

- New design is flat with larger (15 cm radius) corner curvature.  Model loaded as follows.

| Case | Load | Radial BC | Damping |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Set | 0.1 MPa | Fixed | On |
|  Bolt | 20 kN | Free | On |
|  Undamped | 20 kN | Free | Off |
|  Press | 1.2 MPa | Fixed | Off |

## Animation for Flat Design

## Results of Flat Design

- Results of the original ring fixture show acceptable stress at the boundary.

| Applied Pressure (atm) | Center Stress (GPa) | Center Deflection (cm) | Edge Stress (GPa) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 0.9 | 1.0 | 1.4 |
| 5 | 2.6 | 1.6 | 2.5 |
| 11 | 4.3 | 2.2 | 3.7 |

## Concluding Remarks

- Stability of the model is sensitive to these parameters:
- Damping
- Contact Property
- Characteristic Element Size
- Future Work:
- Compare Results with 3-D analysis
- Compare Results with test data

## ns2 Architecture

- Discrete-event C++ simulation engine
- scheduling, timers, packets
- Based on ns1 (S. McCanne and V. Jacobson)
- Split Otcl/C++ object “library”
- protocol agents, links, nodes, classifiers, routing, error generators, traces, queuing, math support (random variables, integrals, etc)
- separate visualization tool (“Nam”)
- used on many UNIXes, tested on Windows

## Supported Components

- Protocols:
- tcp (2modes + variants), udp, ip, rtp/rtcp, SRM, 802.3 MAC, 802.11 MAC
- Routing
- global topology map, classifiers
- static unicast, dynamic unicast (distance-vector), multicast
- Queueing and packet scheduling
- FIFO/drop-tail, RED, CBQ, WRR, DRR, SFQ
- Topology: nodes, links  Failures: link errors/failures
**Emulation: plug simulator into live network**

## New Emulation Facility(note: still under active development)

- Generic which “tap” live networks
- inject received packets into simulation
- emit packets on to live network
- associated with a “network object”
- Network Objects
- Raw IP and UDP/IP network object
- send/receive raw IP packets or UDP/IP

## CHPS is more than the sum of the parts
Individual research is recognized as more valuable because of a closer link to operations
Researchers can concentrate on their specific studies and use CHPS infrastructure, data access, and other science algorithm services
Operational information and predictions benefit from being able to use new science sooner

## PGF Raw Data Organization

- Project =	Series of Libraries that define a genome
- Library =	Series of Plates
- Plate  = 	384 Clones
- Clone=		    2 Lanes
- 1 Lane =     	~1MB each distributed into 4 files:
- 	1 FASTA file =	    	    1KB
- 	1 scf file =		  50KB
- 	1 abd file=		250KB
- 	1 rsd/ab1file =      	650KB
- In May-03, PGF ran 2.5 million successful lanes
- 	               **= 2.5TB/month; 10 million files**
-         (0.75TB/month (9 TB/year) non-trace files)

**This does not include any assembly, database or metadata!**

## Community Access to PGF Data

- Access to these data is in demand by scientific fields that were not anticipated by the Human Genome Project
- Microbiologists
- Environmental Scientists & BioGeologists
- Evolutionary Scientists
- GtL projects
- Not everyone will want the same kind of files.

**The computational sophistication of the user**
** ****community is uneven, at best.**

## Data Organization Requirements

-      -- schema definition development
-      -- the database system to support the metadata
-      -- query interfaces to query the metadata
-      -- possible rapid prototyping using the object based tools
**2.  Data entry tools for the metadata**
-      -- procedure to enforce metadata entry
-      -- checks on the correctness of the metadata entered

**Data Organization Requirements**

- None of this was ‘contemplated’ in the Human Project
- but is essential for JGI and GTL data management
