Since July 1, 1960, when the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center was organized, the reporting

of scientific and engineering information has been considered a prime responsibility of the Center, Our

credo has been that "research and development work is valuable, but only if its results can be communicated

and nnade understandable to others."

The N number shown for the reports listed is assigned by the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Facility, Baltimore, Maryland, indicating that the material is unclassified and unlimited and is

available for public use. These publications can be purchased from the National Technical Information

Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. The N number should be cited when ordering.

by Robert E, Smith and George S. West.

N83.18816

This document provides guideluies on space

and planetary environment criteria for use in

space vehicle development. Information is incorporated in the disciplinary areas of atmospheric

and ionospheric properties, radiation, geonnagnetic field, astrodynamic constants, and meteor-

' oids for the Earth's atmosphere above 90 kin,

interplanetary space, and the atmosphere and

surfaces (when available) of the Moon and the

planets (other than ]earth) of this solar system,

Chapters on the Sun, Terrestrial Space, the Moon,

Mercury, Venus, and Mars constitute Volume 1

(NASA TM-82478). Volume 2 (NASA TM82501) contains chapters on Jupiter, Saturn,

Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Comets, Asteroids, and

Interplanetary Dust.

These documents (Volumes 1 and 2) are

recommended as tools for use in the development

of space vehicles. However, an environment

- " specialist should be consulted In critical design

the closed loop, feedback, tracking system.

The result of this development is a vastly

improved weld seam tracking control system

capable of a tracking accuracy of X0,2 mm, or

better, As configured, the system is applicable to

square butt, V groove, and lap joint weldments.

Several innovations have been incorporated which

include using algorithms to minimize the effects

of stray light reflection, light level changes,

erroneous signals, momentary loss of signal, and

error causing scratches on the workpiece.

A significant advantage of the system is its

wide degree of flexibility. Being microprocessor

controlled, the software can be readily changed,

or modified, to optimize the system's performance for a given set of welding conditions.

Investigation of Surface Tension Phenomena

Using the KC-135 Aircraft. W. S. Alter.

Space Science Laboratory.

The KC-135 aircraft provides a short-duration, mcrogravity environment which is useful

for performing certain types of experiments. In

particular, small-scale, free-format investigations

which would otherwise be neglected can be conveniently pursued on the KC-135. Three handheld experiments were performed during the

1982 May and July flights. The purpose of these

experiments was to verify their concepts in order

to justify more extensive investigation. These

experiments are described, and plans for further

research, based on preliminary results, are

discussed.

Eddy Cv,rrent X-Y Scanner System. George

W. Kurtz, Materials and Processes Laboratory. N83-22571

The Nondestructive Evaluation Branch of

the Materials and Processes Laboratory became

aware of a need for a miniature, portable X-Y

scanner capable of performing eddy current or

other non-destructive testing scanning operations

such as ultrasonic, or small areas of flat plate,

This report covers the technical description and

operational theory of the X-Y scanner system

designee' and built to fulfill this need. The scannner

has been given limited testing and performs

according to its design intent, which is to scan

flat plate areas of approximately 412 cm 2 (64

in.2) during each complete cycle of scanning.

The Purdue Regional Objective Analysis of

the Mesoscale (PROAM) is a Barnes-type scheme

for the analysis of surface meteorological data,

Modifications are introduced to increase its flex!-

. bility and to permit greater ease of usage. A

multiple iteration technique has been implemented for greater accuracy. PROAM is then

subjected to a series of experiments to evaluate

its performance and monitor the computation

time under a variety of analysis conditions. The

tests include use of a known analytic temperature

distribution to quantify error bounds for the

scheme. Similar experiments were conducted

using actual atmospheric data, Results indicate

Center (MSFC). The purpost^ of the workshop

was to identify specific cooperative scientific

study topics within the discipline of Ionosphere

Magnetosphere Coupling processes and to develop

methods and procedures to accomplish this

cooperative research using SCAN facilities,

Cooperative scientific research was initiated in

the areas of polar cusp composition, O + polar

Pseudo-Random Number Generator for the.

Sigma V Computer, Stanley N. Carroll.

Systems Dynamics Laboratory, N83 ­23084

A technique is presented for developing a

pseudo-random number, generator bas,, d on the

linear congruentlal form. The two numbers used

for the generator are a prime number and a

corresponding primitive root, where the prime is

the largest prime number that can be accurately

represented on a particular computer. The primitive root is selected by applying Marsaglia's lattice

test. The technique presented has bean applied to

write a new random number program for the

Sigma V computer. The new program, named

S:RANDOMI, is judged to be superior to the

older program named S;RANDOM. For applications requiring several independent random

number generators, a table is included showing

several acceptable primitive roots. The technique

and programs described in the report can be

Attitude Control and Drag Compensation

Propulsion System for the uravity Probe-B

Spacecraft. D. H. Blount, Structures and

Propulsion Laboratory. N83-22315

An on-board propulsion system for attitude

control and drag compensation is presented which

uses helium boilofY° gas from an experiment package dewar as propellant. This boiloff gas would

normally be vented non-propulsively. Use of a

small allowable temperature range in the dewar

is exploited to store helium and accommodate

incompatibilities in dewar heat leak and thruster

demand flow over periods of more than one orbit.

A relatively detailed thermodynamics analysis of

the two-phase helium dewar and simulation of

pressure loss through the helium 'distribution

system is included.

N83-23336
NASA TECHNICAL MEMORANDA

The purpose of this document Is to Identify

and briefly examine the control problems of the

proposed Gravity Probe-B spacecraft, Suggestions

are made for control thruster geometry,

dynamics, and maximum output value, Maximum

total thrust is also a consideration since all

thrusters expel ,gaseous helium produced from a

common liquid supply, Control philosophyand

preliminary designs are presented for both the

attitude an(] drag free control systems, A radial

separation of the spacecraft center of mass and

the center of the proof mass cavity produces cross

coupling between the attitude and drag free systems. The low available thrust implies that this

separation, throughout the mission, must be kept

witlihi very close tolerance, For this reason an

on-board mass balance control system may be

necessary,

Simulation was performed only to the

extent necessary to show the control concepts to

be feasible,

Liquid Helium Management for Gravity

Probe-B. Charles Schafer. Space Science

Laboratory, N83-24830

The Gravity Probe-B (GP-B) experiment

will be degraded if accelerations at a proof mass

become larger than 10- 10 g. This makes necessary

the management of the configuration and

dynamical behavior of the large amount of liquid

helluin present in the (W-B spacecraft dowar,

Three approaches to the sotution of this problem

are discussed. It is concluded that the most pro

mising technique involves the use of baffles into

which the liquid helium can be forced during a

relatively high spacecraft rotation period, and in

which the liquid liellum will be held by capillary

forces during the operational period when the

rotation rate is much tower, Some likely baffle

configurations are suggested.

results include very low levels of molecular rnass

accumulation rates, absence of molecular films on

optical samples, out-gassing species above 50 amu

undetectable, general low levels of on-orbit particulates, and decay rates for early mission and

water dump particidates. Results of exposure of

Laboratory,

Based on 1349 Ha flares with X-ray counterP, its occurring near solar maximum, an invcstigation into the relationship between pairs of

parameters, including rise time, decay time, Ha

importance, and X-ray class, has been accomplislicd, As past experience has shown, it is found

that, on average, long Ha rise-time flares tend to

have long I-Ia decay time (on average about 2,9

times longer thin the associated rise time), are

more likely associated with areal class > class 1 

and relative brightness class bright, and are more

likely associated with X-ray events of X-ray class 

C5. Also, it is noted that during 1980 2800-

MHz radio flux (denoted F2800) appeared to

crudely track the south latitudinal regions for the

first 10 months of the year and thereafter the

north latitudinal regions, at least through December 1980, the Solar Maximum Year, which met

certain selection criteria. No effort has been made

A filamentary composite spherical pressure

vessel is modeled as a pseudo-isotropic (or transversely isotropic) composite shell, with the effects

of the liner and fill tubes omitted. Equations of

elasticity, macro,mechanical and micromechanical

formulations, and laminate properties are derived

for the application of an internally pressured

spherical composite vessel. Viscoelastic properties

for the composite matrix are used to characterize

time-dependent behavior. Using the maximum

strain theory of failure, burst pressure and critical

strain equations are formulated, solved in, the

Laplace domain with an associated elastic solution, and inverted back Into the time domain

using the method of collocation, Viscoelastic

properties of HBFR 55 resin are experimentally

determined and a Kevlar/HBFR-55 system is

evaluated with a FORTRAN program, The computed reduction in burst pressure with respect to

A Stability Analysis of AVE-IV Severe

Weather Soundings. Dale L, Wina;on, Space

Science Laboratory, N83-14824

An investigation was made to determine

whether the stability and vertical structure of an

average severe storm sounding, consisting of both

thermodynamic and wind vertical profiles, could

be distinguished from an average lag sounding

' taken 3 to 6 hours prior to severe weather occurrence, The term "average" is defined here to indii

sate the arithetic mean of a parameter, as a m

function of altitude, determined from a large

number of available observations taken either

close to severe weather occurrence, or else more

than 3 hours before it occurs. The investigative

computations were also done to help determine

if a scve)^e storm forecast scheme or index could

possibly be used or developed.

The study presents these mean vertical pro.

files of thermodynamic and wind parameters as

a function of severity of the weather, determined

from manually digitized radar (MDR) categories

observed during the National Aeronautics and

Space Administration (NASA) Atmospheric Var-

!ability Experiment IV (AVE-IV) which took

place on April 2425, 1975. Profile differences

and stability index differences are presented along

with the development of the Johnson Lag Index

(JLI) which is determined entirely upon environmental vertical parameter differences between

- conditions 3 hours prior to severe weather, and

severe weather itself.

All of the stability indices tested were then

used on a separate and independent data sample

(AVE-SESAME-1) consisting of individual soundings taken during April 10-11, 1979. The AVESESAME-I data profiles are presented along with

stability index computations for each. All of the

stability indices tested appeared to do a reasonable job in indicating both the severe weather as

well as the nonsevere weather environment. As a

pre-severe weather lag (3 to 6 hours) index, only

the JLI appears to show promise as a potential

forecast index. More testing of this 'index, however, is needed.

An efficient algorithm for generating random number pairs from a bivariate normal distribution was developed. Any desired value of the

two means, two standard deviations, and correlation coefficient can be selected. Theoretically

the technique is exact and in practice its accuracy

is limited only by the quality of the uniform

distribution random number generator, inaccu- 

racies in computer function evaluation, and

arithmetic. A FORTRAN routine was written

to check the algorithm and good accuracy was

obtained. Some small errors in the correlation

shoald be fast enough for use with flight simulators. The model will permit any pilot to simulate

will simulate a wind field with three-component

gusts, and gust variation over the body of an aircraft so that all aerodynamic loads and moments

can be calculated. The time and space variation

of mean winds and turbulent intensities associated with a particular atmospheric phenomenon
