FOREWORD 

In accordance with the NASA Space Act of 1958 the MSFC has provided for the widest practicable 

and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof. 

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 

made 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, 5 285 

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

Signal-to-Noise Ratio for the Wide Field/ 

Planetary Camera of the Space Telescope. 

D. E. Zissa. Information and Electronic 

Systems Laboratory. N84-35 235 

Signal-to-noise ratios for the Wide Field 

Camera and Planetary Camera of the Space Telescope have been calculated as a function of integration time. Models of the optical systems and 

CCD detector arrays were used with a 27th visual 

magnitude point source and a 25th visual magnitude per arc-second2 extended source. A 23rd 

visual magnitude per arc-second2 background was 

assumed. The models predicted signal-to-noise 

ratios of 10 within 4 hours for the point source 

centered on a single pixel. Signal-to-noise ratios 

approaching 10 are estimated for approximately 

0.25 x 0.25 arc-second areas within the extended 

source after 10 hours integration.

N85-10087 

The final results of the Drop Tube Solidification of NiAlj are presented. Problems associated with the utilization of a “dripper” furnace 

in the drop tube are discussed and the modification of experimental procedures required to 

achieve results are described. Sample microstructures of drop tube samples are compared with 

other samples. The dendrite arm spacings of drop 

tube samples are correlated with the rapid cooling 

rates.

Optical Analysis of the Star-Tracker Telescope for Gravity Probe. D. E. Zissa. Information and Electronic Systems Laboratory. 

N85-10888 

A ray-trace modeling of the star-tracker 

telescope for Gravity Probe has been used to predict the character of the output signal and its 

sensitivity to fabrication errors. In particular, 

the impact of the optical subsystem on the 

requirement of 1 milliarc-second signal linearity 

over a 50 milliarc-second range has been 

examined. Photomultiplier and solid state detector options were considered. Recommendations 

are made.

A star-tracker telescope, constructed entirely 

of fused silica elements optically contacted 

together, has been proposed to provide submilliarc-second pointing accuracy for Gravity Probe. 
NASA TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 

First this report provides a bibliography on 

optical contacting; the bonding of very flat, 

highly polished surfaces without the use of adhesives. Then results are presented from preliminary experiments on the strength of optical contacts including a tensile strength test in liquid 

helium. The report emphasizes the need for 

further study to verify an optical contacting 

method for the Gravity Probe star-tracker telescope.

Mars Exploration, Venus Swingby and 

Conjunction Class Mission Modes, Time 

Period 2000 to 2045. Archie C. Young, 

John A. Mulqueen, and James E. Skinner. 

Program Development Office. N85-1196 1 

Trajectory and mission requirement data is 

presented for Earth-Mars opposition class and 

conjunction class round trip stopover mission 

opportunities available during the time period 

year 2000 to year 2045. The opposition class 

mission employs the gravitational field of Venus 

to accelerate the space vehicle on either the outbound or inbound leg. The gravitational field of 

Venus was used to reduce the propulsion requirement associated with the opposition class mission. Representative space vehicle systems are 

sized to compare the initial mass required in low 

Earth orbit of one mission opportunity with 

another mission opportunity. The interplanetary 

space vehicle is made up of the spacecraft and the 

space vehicle acceleration system. The space 

vehicle acceleration system consists of three propulsion stages. The first propulsion stage performs 

the Earth escape maneuver, the second stage 

brakes the spacecraft and Earth braking stage 

into the Mars elliptical orbit and effects the 

escape maneuver from the Mars elliptical orbit. 

The third propulsion stage brakes the mission 

module into an elliptical orbit at Earth return. 

The interplanetary space vehicle was assumed to 

be assembled in and depart from the Space 

Station circular orbit.

Global Matrix of Thermospheric Density 

Values for Selected Solar/Geomagnetic Conditions and Spacecraft Orbital Altitudes. 

Dale L. Johnson. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. N85-13409 

Presented are selected thermospheric/exospheric global mean and extreme density values 

computed between 130 and 1100 km altitude. 

These values were generated from the MSFC/J70 

reference orbital atmospheric model using different input conditions of solar flux and geomagnetic index, ranging from low to peak. Typical 

magnitudes of day-night density changes are presented, as an example, for use in space vehicle 

orbital analyses.

An Electrochemical Study of Hydrogen 

Uptake and Elimination by Bare and GoldPlated Waspaloy. Merlin D. Danford, Gordon 

E. DeKamus, Jr., and James R. Lowery. 

Materials and Processes Laboratory. 

N85-11222 

Two electrochemical methods for the determination of hydrogen concentrations in metals 

are discussed and evaluated. The take-up of 

hydrogen at a pressure of 5,000 psi by Waspaloy 

metal was determined experimentally at 24°C. 

It was found that the metal becomes saturated 

with hydrogen after an exposure time of about 1 

hr. For samples charged with hydrogen at high 

pressure, most of the hydrogen is contained in 

the interstitial solid solution of the metal. For 

electrolytically charged samples, most of the 

hydrogen is contained as surface and subsurface 

hydrides. Hydrogen elimination rates were 

2 
determined for these two cases, with the rate for 

electrolytically charged samples being greater by 

over a factor of two. Theoretical effects of high 

temperature and pressure on hydrogen take-up 

and elimination by bare and gold plated Waspaloy metal was considered. The breakthrough 

point for hydrogen at 5,000 psi, determined 

experimentally, lies between a gold thickness of 

0.0127 mm (0.0005 in.) and 0.0254 mm (0.001 

in.) at 24’C. 

Electropolishing was found to greatly reduce 

the uptake of hydrogen at high pressure by Waspaloy metal at 24’C. Possible implications of the 

results obtained in this study, as they apply to the 

turbine disk of the Space Shuttle Main Engine, 

are discussed.

An Evaluation of Grease Type Ball Bearing 

Lubricants Operating in Various Environments (Final Status Report No. 8). E. L. 

McMurtrey. Materials and Processes Laboratory. N85-11239 

Because many future spacecraft or space 

stations will require mechanisms to operate for 

long periods of time in environments which are 

adverse to most bearing lubricants, a series of 

tests has been completed to evaluate 38 greasetype lubricants in R-4 size bearings in five different environments for a 1-year period. Four repetitions of each test were made to provide statistical 

samples. These tests were also used to select four 

lubricants for 5-year tests in selected environments with five repetitions of each test for statistical samples. In this completed program, 172 

test sets have been completed. The three 5-year 

tests in (1) continuous operation and (2) starttemperatures, and (3) continuous vacuum operation at 93.3”C have been completed. In both the 

1-year and 5-year tests, the best results in all 

environments have been obtained with a high 

viscosity index perfluoroalkylpolyether (PFPE) 

grease.

The Variable Polarity Plasma Arc Welding 

Process: Its Application to the Space Shuttle 

External Tank - Second Interim Report. 

A. C. Nunes, Jr., E. 0. Bayless, Jr., and W. 

A. Wilson. Materials and Processes Laboratory N85-14115 

This report describes progress in the implementation of the Variable Polarity Plasma Arc 

Welding (VPPAW) process at the External Tank 

(ET) assembly facility. Design allowable data has 

been developed for thicknesses up to 1.00 in. 

More than 24,000 in. of welding on liquid oxygen 

and liquid hydrogen cylinders has been made 

without an internal defect.

Improving the Spacelab Mass Memory Unit 

Tape Layout with a Simulation Model. 

Steven R. Noneman. Systems Analysis and 

Integration Laboratory. N85-14571 

A tape drive called the Mass Memory Unit 

(MMU) stores software used by Spacelab computers. MMU tape motion must be minimized 

during typical flight operations to avoid a loss of 

scientific data. A projection of the tape motion is 

needed for evaluation of candidate tape layouts. 

A computer simulation of the scheduled and 

unscheduled MMU tape accesses is developed for 

this purpose. This simulation permits evaluations 

of candidate tape layouts by tracking and summarizing tape movements. The factors that affect 

tape travel are investigated and a heuristic is 

developed to find a “good” tape layout. An 

improved tape layout for Spacelab I is selected 

after the evaluation of fourteen candidates. The 

simulation model will provide the ability to 

determine MMU layouts that substantially 

decrease the tape travel on future Spacelab 

flights.

Monodisperse Latex Reactor (MLR) - A 

Materials Processing Space Shuttle MidDeck Payload. Dale M. Kornfell. Space 

Science Laboratory. N85-2 1 187 

The Monodisperse Latex Reactor experiment has flown five times on the space shuttle, 

with three more flights currently planned. The 

objective of this project is to manufacture, in 

the microgravity environment of space, large 

particle-size monodisperse polystyrene latexes in 

particle sizes larger and more uniform than can 

be manufactured on Earth. Historically it has 

been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to 

manufacture in quantity very high quality monodisperse latexes on Earth in particle sizes much 

above several micrometers in diameter due to 

buoyancy and sedimentation problems during the 

polymerization reaction. However the MLR project has succeeded in manufacturing in microgravity monodisperse latex particles as large as 

30 micrometers in diameter with a standard 

deviation of 1.4 percent. It is expected that 

100 micrometer particles will have been produced 

by the completion of the three remaining flights. - 

These tiny, highly uniform latex microspheres have become the “FIRST SPACE PRODUCT,” that is, the first material ever to be 

commercially marketed that was manufactured 

in space. The U.S. National Bureau of Standards 

has certified the first batch of “space latex,” 

which was transferred to NBS by NASA in July 

1984, and they will begin marketing this material 

in mid-1985 as the U.S. national 10-micrometer 

Standard Reference Material.

A Numerical Method for Interface Problems 

in Elastodynamics. David S. McGhee. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. N85-17391 

This study deals with the numerical implementation of a formulation for a class of interface problems in elastodynamics. This formulation combines the use of the finite element and 

boundary integral methods to represent the 

interior and the exterior regions, respectively. In 

particular, the response of a semicylindrical alluvial valley in a homogeneous halfspace to incident 

antiplane SH waves is considered to determine 

the accuracy and convergence of the numerical 

procedure. Numerical results are obtained for 

several combinations of the incidence angle, 

frequency of excitation and relative stiffness 

between the inclusion and the surrounding halfspace. The results tend to confirm the theoretical 

estimates, that the convergence is of the order 

h2 for the piecewise linear elements used. It is 

also observed that the accuracy decreases as the 

frequency of excitation increases or as the relative 

stiffness of the inclusion decreases.

Ground Test Experiment for Large Space 

Structures. Danny K. Tollison and Henry 

B. Waites. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. 

N8S-19013 

In recent years, anew body of control theory 

has been developed for the design of control systems for Large Space Structures (LSS). The problems of testing this theory on LSS hardware are 

aggravated by the expense and risk of actual “in 

orbit” tests. Ground tests on large space structures can provide a proving ground for candidate 

control systems, but such tests require a unique 

facility for their execution. The current development of such a facility at the NASA Marshall 

Space Flight Center (MSFC) is the subject of 

this report.

This report describes the Large Space Structure Ground Test Facility under development at 

the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. It presents the status of the tests 

being performed and the present and proposed 

utilization of that facility by DOD. The Ground 

Test Facility was established initially to test 

experimentally the control system to be used on 

the Solar Array Flight Experiment. Further, the 

structural dynamics of the selected test article 

were to be investigated, including the fidelity of 

the associated mathematical model. It became 

apparent that many of the LSS objectives of 

NASA were similar to those of DARPA and the 

US Air Force. In particular, all three agencies 

are interested in a Government test facility that 

can accommodate large structures emulating 

actual space systems. The facility must permit the 

investigation of structural dynamics phenomena 

and be able to evaluate candidate attitude control 

and vibration suppression techniques.

Test and Evaluation of the 2.4-m Photorefractor Ocular Screening System. John R. 

Richardson. Technology Utilization Office. 

N85-26 1 15 

This report presents a test and evaluation of 

an improved 2.4-m photorefractor ocular screening system, jointly developed by Medical Sciences 

Corporation and the Marshall Space Flight 

Center. 

The photorefractor system works on the 

principal of obtaining a colored photograph of 

both human eyes; and, by analysis of the retinal 

reflex images, certain ocular defects can be 

detected such as refractive error, strabismus, and 

lens obstructions. 

The 2.4-m photorefractor system uses a 

35-mm camera with a telephoto lens and an electronic flash attachment. Retinal reflex images 

obtained from the new 2.4-m system are significantly improved over earlier systems in image 

quality. Other features were also improved, 

notably portability and reduction in mass. 

A total of 706 school age children were 

photorefracted, 2 1 1 learning disabled and 495 

middle school students. The total students 

having abnormal reflexes were 156 or 22 percent, and 133 or 85 percent of the abnormal had 

refractive error indicated. Ophthalmological 

examination was performed on 60 of these 

students and refractive error was verified in 57 

or 95 percent of those examined. 

The new 2.4-m system has a NASA patent 

pending and is authorized by the FDA. It provides a reliable means of rapidly screening the 

eyes of children and young adults for vision

problems. It is especially useful for infants and 

other non-communicative children who cannot 

be screened by the more conventional methods 

such as the familiar “E” chart.

Space Shuttle Booster Thrust Imbalance 

Analysis. William R. Bailey and Douglas 

L. Blackwell. Systems Analysis and Integration Laboratory. N85-21241 

This report presents an analysis of the 

Shuttle SRM thrust imbalance during the steadystate and tailoff portions of the boost phase of 

flight. The study includes results from flights 

STS-1 through STS-13. A statistical analysis of 

the observed thrust imbalance data is presented. 

A 3a thrust imbalance history versus time has 

been generated from the observed data and is 

compared to the vehicle design requirements. 

The effect on Shuttle thrust imbalance from the 

use of replacement SRM segments is predicted. 

Comparisons of observ4 thrust imbalances with 

respect to predicted imbalanccs are presented for 

the two Space Shuttle flights which used replacement aft segments (STS-9 and STS-13).

Determination of the Gaseous Hydrogen 

Ductile-Brittle Transition in Copper-Nickel 

Alloys. R. A. Parr, M. H. Johnston, J. H. 

Davis, and T. K. Oh. Materials and Processes 

Laboratory. 

A series of copper-nickel alloys were fabricated, notched tensile specimens machined, for 

each alloy and the specimens tested in 34.5 MPa 

hydrogen and in air. A notched tensile ratio was 

determined for each alloy and the hydrogen 

environment embrittlement (HEE) determined 

for the alloys of 47.7 weight percent nickel to 

73.5 weight percent nickel. 

Stacking fault probability and stracking 

fault energies were determined for each alloy 

using the X-ray diffraction line shift and line 

profiles technique. 

Hydrogen environment embrittlement was 

determined to be influenced by stacking fault 

energies; however, the correlation is believed to 

be indirect and only partially responsible for the 

HEE behavior of these alloys.

information on the description of the LSS ground 

verification experiment, the project management 

scheme, the design, development, fabrication 

and checkout of the subsystems, the systems 

engineering and integration, the hardware subsystems, the software, and a summary which 

includes future LSS ground test plans. Upon 

completion of these items, NASA/MSFC will 

have an LSS ground test facility which will provide sufficient data on dynamics and control 

verification of LSS so that LSS flight system 

operations can be reasonably ensured.

N85-2 1248 

NASA Marshall Space Flight Center has 

developed a facility in which closed loop control 

of Large Space Structures (LSS) can be demonstrated and verified. The main objective of the 

facility is to verify LSS control system techniques 

so that on-orbit performance can be ensured. 

The facility consists of an LSS test article which 

is connected to a payload mounting system that 

provides control torque commands. It is attached 

to a base excitation system which will simulate 

disturbances most likely to occur for Orbiter and 

DOD payloads. A control computer will contain 

the calibration software, the reference system, 

the alignment procedures, the telemetry software, 

and the control algorithms. The total system will 

be suspended in such a fashion that the LSS test 

article has the characteristics common to all LSS.

space scientist. SPAN provides low-rate communication capability with co-investigators and 

colleagues, and access to space science data bases 

and computational facilities. The SPAN utilizes 

up-to-date hardware and software for computerto-computer communications allowing binary file 

transfer and remote log-on capability to over 

25 nationwide space science computer systems. 

SPAN is not discipline or mission dependent with 

participation from scientists in such fields as 

magnetospheric, ionospheric, planetary, and solar 

physics. 

This document provides basic information 

on the network and its use. It is anticipated that 

SPAN will grow rapidly over the next few years, 

not only from the standpoint of more network 

nodes, but as scientists become more proficient 

in the use of telescience, more capability will be 

needed to satisfy the demands.

Span Graphics Display Utilities Handbook 

(First Edition). Dennis L. Gallagher, James 

L. Green, and Robert Newman. Space 

Science Laboratory. N85-27567 

The Space Physics Analysis Network (SPAN) 

is a computer network connecting scientific 

institutions throughout the United States. This 

network provides an avenue for timely, correlative research between investigators, in a multidisciplinary approach to space physics studies. 

An objective in the development of SPAN is to 

make available direct and simplified procedures 

that scientists can use, without specialized training, to exchange information over the network. 

Information exchanges include raw and processes 

data, analysis programs, correspondence, documents, and graphic images. This handbook details 

procedures that can be used to exchange graphic 

images over SPAN. 

The intent is to periodically update this 

handbook to reflect the constantly changing 

7

I facilities available on SPAN. The utilities 

described within reflect an earnest attempt to 

provide useful descriptions of working utilities 

that can be used to transfer graphic images 

across the network. Whether graphic images are 

representative of satellite observations or theore tical modeling and whether graphics images are 

of device dependent or independent type, the 

SPAN graphics display utilities handbook will be 

the users guide to graphic image exchange.

Preliminary Study of Inphase Gusts and 

Moment Force Wind Loads Over the First 

150 Meters at KSC, Florida. John W. Kaufman. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. 

N85-23273 

Initial results have been completed on a 

mathematical/statistical analysis of inphase gusts 

and wind velocity moment forces over the first 

150 m at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. 

The wind velocity profile data used in the analysis 

were acquired at the kbC 150 m Ground Wind 

Tower. The result-, show that planetary boundary 

layer (PBL) winds can sustain near-peak speeds 

for periods up to 60 sec and longer. This is 

proven from calculating the auto-correlation 

functions of moment forces for several IO-min 

cases of wind profile data. Although this analysis 

is preliminary, the results prove that lower 

atmospheric planetary boundary layer winds 

do have a periodic variation for long periods of 

time. This flow characteristic is valuable as aerospace vehicle engineering and design criteria 

where wind loading must be determined. Such 

information is also important to the aviation 

and surface transportation engineers.

BIG MAC: A Bolometer Array for MidInfrared Astronomy, Center Director's Discretionary Fund Final Report. c. M. Telesco, 

R. Decher, and C. Baugher. Space Science 

Laboratory. N85-23463 

This report describes the infrared array 

developed in the Space Science Laboratory at 

Marshall Space Flight Center with Center Director's Discretionary Funds. The array, referred to 

as Big Mac (for Marshall Array Camera), was 

designed for ground-based astronomical observations in the wavelength range 5 to 35 pm. It 

contains 20 discrete gallium-doped germanium 

bolometer detectors at a temperature of 1.4K. 

Each bolometer is irradiated by a square field 

mirror constituting a single pixel of the array. 

The mirrors are arranged contiguously in four 

columns and five rows, thus defining the array 

configuration. Big Mac utilizes cold re-imaging 

optics and an up-looking dewar. The total Big 

Mac system also contains a telescope interface 

tube for mounting the dewar and a computer 

for data acquisition and processing. Initial astronomical observations at a major infrared observatory indicate that Big Mac performance is 

excellent, having achieved the design specifications and making this instrument an outstanding 

tool for astrophysics.

The development of silicon carbide-silicon

polycarbosilazane precursors that was carried 

out in this laboratory is reviewed. Precursor 

resin, which was prepared by heating tris(Nmethylamino)-methylsilane or tris(N-methylamino)phenylsilane to about 520"C, was drawn 

into fibers from the melt and then made unmeltable by humidity conditioning at 100°C and 

95 percent relative humidity. The humiditytreated

NASA TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 

precursor fibers were pyrolyzed to ceramic fibers 

with good mechanical properties and electrical 

resistivity. For example, SiC-Si3 N4 fibers derived 

from tris(n-methy1amino)methylisilane had a tensile rupture modulus of 29 x lo6 psi and electrical resistivity of 6.9 x lo8 a-cm which is 

lo’* times greater than that obtained for 

graphite fibers.

This is a closed form solution for the longitudinal oscillation of the Solar Array Flight

deployment. The frequency response shows that 

the blanket frequency increases shortly before 

full deployment. That fact causes a coupling 

between the mast and the blanket frequency but, 

because of the relatively high speed of deployment, a buildup of resonance is unlikely.

N85-30983 

An Extended Range X-Ray Telescope 

(ERXRT) of high sensitivity and spatial resolution capable of functioning over a broad region 

of the X-ray/XUV portion of the spectrum has 

been designed and analyzed. This system has been 

configured around the glancing-incidence Wolter 

Type I X-ray mirror system which was flown on 

the Skylab Apollo Telescope Mount as ATM 

Experiment S-056. Enhanced sensitivity over a 

vastly broader spectral range can be realized by 

the utilization of a thinned, back-illuminatedy 

buried-channel Charge Coupled Device (CCD) 

as the X-ray/XUV detector rather than photographic film. However, to maintain the high 

spatial resolution inherent in the X-ray optics 

when a CCD of 30 micron pixel size is used, it is 

necessary to increase the telescope plate scale. 

This can be accomplished by use of a glancingincidence X-ray microscope to enlarge and 

re-focus the primary image onto the focal surface 

of the CCD. 

In the ERXRT program, several glancingincidence hy perboloid/ellipsoid X-ray microscope 

optical elements were designed and analyzed. 

An 8X microscope of 2-m focal length was 

selected as the optimum configuration to couple 

the S-056 X-ray mirrors to a 30-micron pixel 

RCA CCD X-ray/XUV detector. Detailed ray 

trace analysis studies have shown that this system 

has theoretical performance which should permit 

sub-arc second images to be achieved over the 

entire field of view of the detector. This research 

has shown that the ERXRT concept is theoretically feasible and that this system may be of 

great value for future high-resolution X-ray 

telescope/X-ray spectroscopy instruments. It has 

also provided valuable insights into other hybrid 

X-ray optical systems, such as are now being 

developed in the WolterlLSM X-ray telescope 

program, which is also a Center Director’s Discretionary Fund program.

Space Shuttle Molecular Scattering and 

Wake Vacuum Measurements. R. J. Naumann, G. R. Carignan, and E. R. Miller. 

Space Science Laboratory. N85-29978 

The wake environment of the space shuttle 

is analyzed to determine whether it is feasible to 

perform ultra-high vacuum experiments in or 

near the payload bay with the shuttle oriented 

such that the payload bay faces the anti-velocity 

direction. Several mechanisms were considered 

by which molecules could approach the payload 

bay from this direction and their relative contributions to the wake environment are estimated. 

These mechanisms include ambient atmospheric 

molecules that have velocities in excess of the 

orbital velocity which can overtake the shuttle, 

ambient atmospheric molecuies that are backscattered by collisions with the shuttle-induced 

atmosphere, and self-scattering from the induced 

atmosphere. 

These estimates are compared with the measurements made with the collimated mass spectrometer which was part of the Induced Environment Contamination Monitor flown on several 

of the early shuttle flights. Although the 

collimated mass spectrometer was not designed 

for this purpose and the instrument background 

for the species for which the collimator is effective is above the expected levels, upper limits 

can be established for these species in the wake 

environment which are consistent with the 

analysis. There was considerably more helium 

and argon observed in the wake direction that 

was predicted, however. Possible origins of these 

gases are discussed.

Docking Simulation Analysis of Range 

Data Requirements for the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle. James D. Micheal and 

Frank L. Vinz. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. N85-3 1 143 

This report describes the approach and 

results of an initial study to assess the controllability of the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV) 

for terminal closure and docking. The vehicle 

characteristics used in this study are those of the 

Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) baseline 

OMV which were published with the Request 

for Proposals for preliminary design of this 

vehicle. This simulation was conducted at MSFC 

using the Target Motion Simulator. The study 

focused on the OMV manual mode capability to 

accommodate both stabilized and tumbling target 

engagements with varying complements of range 

and range rate data displayed to the OMVoperator. Four trained test subjects performed over 

400 simulated orbital dockings during this study. 

A firm requirement for radar during the terminal 

closure and dock phase of the OMV mission was 

not established by these simulations. Fifteen 

pound thrusters recommended in the MSFC 

baseline design were found to be advantageous 

for initial rate matching maneuvers with unstabilized targets; however, lower thrust levels were 

desirable for making the final docking maneuvers.

A study was initiated to investigate the 

practicality of increasing rotor critical speeds by 

changes in manufacturing method. The technique 

would be to build a pump with an all-laser-welded 

shaft and case; such unit to be opened by laser 

cutting and rebuilt by rewelding the same surface. 

Use of a split casing, common in industry, would 

permit assembly of the rotor outside the case. 

A team was formed to perform the study; however, the work of the team was severely restricted 

by conflict with higher priority tasks. No manpower was available to evaluate alternate configurations. Thus, much of the synergetic effects 

of cohesive design modification was lost.

An Evaluation and Comparison of Vertical 

Profile Data from the VISSR Atmospheric 

Sounder (VAS). Gary J. Jedlovec. Systems 

Dynamics Laboratory. N85-1635 1 

A statistical evaluation is used to compare 

vertical profiles of temperature and moisture 

derived from VAS with three different algorithms 

to that of corresponding rawinsonde measurements for a clear-cold environment. To account 

for time and space discrepancies between the 

data sets, rawinsonde data were adjusted to be 

representative of the satellite sounding times. 

Both rawinsonde and satellite sounding data were 

objectively analyzed onto a mesoscale grid. These 

grid point values were compared at 50 mb pressure increments from the surface up to 100 mb. 

The data were analyzed for horizontal and 

vertical structure, representativeness of derived 

parameters, and significant departure (improvement) from the apriori (first guess) information. 

Results indicate some rather strong temperature and moisture biases exist in the satellite 

soundings. Temperature biases of 1" to 4°C and 

dewpoint biases of 2" to 6°C generally occur in 

layers where strong inversions are present and 

vary with time as these atmospheric features 

evolve. The biases also change as a function 

retrieval scheme suggesting limitations and 

restrictions on the applications of the various 

techniques. Standard temperature deviations 

range from 1" to 2°C for each retrieval scheme 

with maximum values around 800 to 400 mb. 

Derived parameters (precipitable water and 

thickness) suffer from similar biases, though to a 

somewhat lesser extent. Gradients of basic and 

derived parameters are generally weaker but have 

good horizontal structure where magnitudes of 

the parameters are relatively strong. Integrated 

thermal (temperature) and moisture (precipitable 

water) parameters show mixed results. Although 

biases are small in the precipitable water values 

from the regression scheme, horizontal structure 

is poor. 

An analysis of apriori and first guess 

information show similar biases when compared 

to the ground truth measurements. This information, however, seems to provide the majority of 

the vertical structural information present in the 

VAS retrievals.

A global cloud cover data set, derived from

applications. This data set contains a single 

parameter - total sky cover -- separated in time 

13 
NASA TECHNICAL PAPERS 

by 3 or 6 hr intervals and in space by approximately 50 n.mi. Cloud cover amount is recorded 

for each grid point (of a square grid) by a single 

alphanumeric character representing each 5 

percent increment of sky cover. 

The data are arranged in both quarterly and 

monthly formats. A quarterly format computer 

tape usually contains 3 months of data for one 

hemisphere while each monthly format tape 

contains up to 5 years of 1 month for one 

hemisphere. 

I Although there are gaps in the data, notably 

all of 1976 for the Northern Hemisphere, the data 

base currently provides daily, 3-hr observed total 

sky cover for the Northern Hemisphere (NH) 

from 1972 through 1977 less 1976. For the 

Southern Hemisphere (SH), there are data at 6-hr 

intervals for 1976 through 1978 and at 3-hr intervals for 1979 and 1980. More years of data are 

being added in both hemispheres.

To validate the data bas^, the percent frequency of G.3 and >0.8 cloud cover was compared with ground observed cloud amounts at 

several locations with generally good agreement. 

Mean or other desired cloud amounts can 

be calculated for any time period and any size 

area from a single grid point to a hemisphere. 

The data base is especially useful in evaluating the consequence of cloud cover on Earth 

viewing space missions. The temporal and spatial 

frequency of the data allow simulations that 

closely approximate any projected viewing 

mission. The greatest attribute is that no adjustments are required to account for cloud contin uity.

Three-Dimensional Baroclinic Instability of a 

Hadley Cell for Small Richardson Number.

I I 

I 

Science Laboratory. N85-20605 

A three-dimensional, linear stability analysis 

of a baroclinic flow for Richardson number, E, 

of order unity is presented. The model considered 

is a thin horizontal, rotating fluid layer which 

is subjected to horizontal and vertical temperature gradients. The basic state is a Hadley cell 

which is a solution of the complete set of governing, nonlinear equations and contains both 

Ekman and thermal boundary layers adjacent to 

the rigid boundaries; it is given in a closed form. 

The stability analysis is also based on the complete set of equations; and perturbations possessing zonal, meridional, and vertical structures were 

considered. Numerical methods were developed 

for the stability problem which results in a stiff, 

eighth-order, ordinary differential eigenvalue 

problem. The objectives of this work were to 

extend the previous work on three-dimensional 

baroclinic instability for small Ri to a more 

realistic model involving the Prandtl number, 

u, and the Ekman number, E, and to finite growth 

rates and a wider range of the zonal wavenumber. 

The study covers ranges of 0 < Ri < 1.1, 0.2 

< u < 5.0, and E = 1 O-3. For the cases computed, 

it was found for u 5 1 that conventional baroclinic instability dominates for Ri > 0.8 and 

symmetric baroclinic instability dominates for 

Ri < 0.8. However, for u = 1 in the range 0.3 

< Ri < 0.8, conventional baroclinic instability 

always dominates. Further, it was found for 

u 5 1 that when symmetric instability dominates, the mode of maximum growth rate is not 

purely symmetric but has weak zonal structure. 

This means that the wave fronts are inclined at 

a small angle to the basic state flow. For these 

weak zonal modes it was also found that the 

critical Richardson number is increased by a small 

amount above its value for pure symmetric 

instability. Because these modes differ so slightly 

from the pure symmetric modes, it is unlikely 

that they represent a new mode of instability.

The corrosion behavior for 22 19-T87 aluminum coated with various primers, including those

System, has been investigated using electrochemical techniques. Corrosion potential-time, polarization resistance-time, electrical resistance-time, and 

corrosion rate-time measurements were all investigated. It was found that electrical resistancetime and corrosion rate-time measurement were 

most useful for studying the corrosion behavior 

of painted aluminum. Electrical resistance-time 

de terminations give useful information concerning the porosity of paint films, while corrosion 

rate-time curves give important information concerning overall corrosion rates and corrosion 

mechanisms. In general, the corrosion rate-time 

curves all exhibited at least one peak during the 

30 day test period, which was attributed, according to the proposed mechanisms, to the onset 

of the hydrogen evolution reaction and the 

beginning of destruction of the protective properties of the paint film.

Adding Computationally Efficient Realism 

to Monte Carlo Turbulence Simulation. 

C. Warren Campbell. Systems Dynamics 

Laboratory. N85-28708 

Frequently in aerospace vehicle flight simulation, random turbulence is generated using the 

assumption that the craft is small compared to 

the length scales of turbulence. The turbulence is 

presumed to vary only along the flight path of the 

vehicle but not across the vehicle span. The addition of the realism of three-dimensionality is a 

worthy goal, but any such attempt will not gain 

acceptance in the simulator community unless 

it is computationally efficient. A concept for 

adding three-dimensional realism with a minimum 

of computational complexity is presented. The 

concept involves the use of close rational approximations to irrational spectra and cross-spectra so 

* 

that systems of stable, explicit difference equations can be used to generate the turbulence.

A Critical Evaluation of Various Turbulence 

Models As Applied to Internal Fluid Flows. 

M. Nallasamy. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. N85-25757 

The report presents a brief account of 

various turbulent models employed in the computation of turbulent flows, and evaluates the application of these models to internal flows by examining the predictions of various turbulence models 

in selected important flow configurations. The 

main conclusions of this analysis are. (a) The k-e 

model is used in a majority of all the two-dimensional flow calculations reported in the literature. 

(b) Modified forms of the k-e model improve the 

performance for flows with streamline curvature 

and heat transfer. (c) For flows with swirl, the 

k-E model performs rather poorly; the algebraic 

stress model performs better in this case. (d) For 

flows with regions of secondary flow (noncircular 

duct flows), the algebraic stress model performs 

fairly well for fully developed flow. For developing flow, the algebraic stress model performance 

is not good; a Reynolds stress model should be 

used. 

Two important factors in the numerical 

solution of the model equations, namely false 

diffusion and inlet boundary conditions, are 

discussed. The existence of countergradient 

transport and its implications in turbulence 

modeling are mentioned. Two examples of recirculating flow predictions obtained using 

PHOENICS code are discussed. Other approaches 

to turbulent flow computations, such as the 

vortex method, large eddy simulation (modeling 

of subgrid scale Reynolds stresses), and direct 

simulation, are briefly discussed. Finally, some 

recommendations for improving the model performance are made. The need for detailed experimental data in flows with strong curvature is 

emphasized.

Formulation/Cure Technology for UltraHigh Molecular Weight Silphenylene-Siloxane Polymers. N. H. Hundley and W. J.

NASA TECHNICAL PAPERS 

Patterson. Materials and Processes Laboratory. N85-26990 

Molecular weights above one million were 

achieved for methylvinylsilphenylene-siloxane terpolymers using a two-stage polymerization technique which was successfully scaled up to 200 

grams. The resulting polymer was vulcanized by 

two different formulations and compared to an 

identically formulated commercial methylvinyl 

silicone on the basis of ultimate strength, Young’s 

modulus, percent elongation at failure, and tear 

strength. 

Relative thermal/oxidative stabilities of the 

elastomers were assessed by gradient and isothermal thermogravime tric analyses performed in 

both air and nitrogen. The experimental 

elastomer exhibited enhanced thermal/oxidative 

stability and possessed equivalent or superior 

mechanical properties. 

The effects of variations in prepolymer 

molecular weight on mechanical properties was 

also investigated.

Fluid Surface Behavior in Low Gravity, 

Center Discretionary Fund No. 83-21, 

Final Report. Fred Leslie, Roger F. Gans, 

and Charles Schafer. Systems Dynamics 

Laboratory. N85-28260 

Measurements of rotating equilibrium 

bubble shapes in the low-gravity environment of a 

free-falling aircraft are presented. Emphasis is 

placed on bubbles which intersect the container 

boundaries. These data are compared with theore tical profiles derived from Laplace’s formula 

and are in good agreement with the measurements. Two types of instability are explored. 

The first occurs when the baffle spacing is too 

large for the bubble to intersect both the top and 

bottom boundaries. The second occurs when the 

hydrostatic pressure beneath a displaced free 

surface does not compensate for pressure change 

due to capillary forces. The interface shape 

depends on the contact angle, the radius of intersection with container, and the parameter F, 

which is a measure of the relative importance of 

centrifugal force to surface tension. For isolated 

bubbles, F has a maximum value of 1 /2. A further 

increase in F causes the bubble to break contact 

with the axis of rotation. For large values of F, 

the bubble becomes more cylindrical and the 

capillary rise occurs over a thinner layer so that 

the small radius of curvature can generate enough 

pressure drop to balance the increased hydrostatic contribution.

Convergence of Newton’s Method for a 

Single Real Equation. C. Warren Campbell. 

Systems Dynamics Laboratory. N85-28656 

Newton’s method for finding the zeroes of a 

single real function is investigated in some detail. 

Convergence is generally checked using the Contraction Mapping Theorem which yields sufficient, 

but not necessary, conditions for convergence of 

the general single point iteration method. The 

resulting convergence intervals are frequently 

considerably smaller than actual convergence 

zones. For a specific single point iteration 

method, such as Newton’s method, better 

estimates of regions of convergence should be 

possible. A technique is described which, under 

certain conditions (frequently satisfied by well 

behaved functions), gives much larger zones 

where convergence is guaranteed.

Recovery of Pyroshock Data from Distorted 

Acceleration Records. James Lee Smith. 

Systems Dynamics Laboratory. N85-3 1 141 

TP-2494 

In the past, distorted pyrotechnic shock 

time history data has been discarded completely 

or “cleaned up” by questionable means. Too 

often the “clean up” procedures introduced as 

much error into the data as previously existed. 

The purpose of this paper is to outline techniques 

for data recovery so that true signals are obtained 

and so that these recovery procedures will be 

completely reproducible by any scientist in any 

lab. Most ordnance shock data is distorted by 

baseline shifts or accelerometer resonances. The 

methodology of recovering true signals from these 

two types of distortion is discussed.

Procedure for Estimating Orbital Debris 

16 
NASA TECHNICAL PAPERS 

Risks. James L. Crafts and James P. Lindberg. Systems Analysis and integration 

Laboratory. 

This report presents a procedure for estimating the potential orbital debris risk to the world’s 

populace from payloads or spent stages left in 

orbit on future missions. This approach provides 

a consistent, but simple, procedure to assess the 

risk due to random reentry with an adequate 

accuracy level for making programmatic decisions 

on planned low Earth orbit missions.

Problems Experienced and Envisioned for 

Dynamical Physical Systems. Robert S. 

Ryan. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. 

The use of high performance systems, which 

is the trend of future space systems, naturally 

leads to lower margins and a higher sensitivity to 

parameter variations and, therefore, more problems of dynamical physical systems. To circumvent dynamic problems of these systems, appropriate design, verification analysis, and tests must 

be planned and conducted. The basic design goal 

is to define the problem before it occurs. The 

primary approach for meeting this goal is a good 

understanding and reviewing of the problems 

experienced in the past in terms of the system 

under design. 

This paper reviews many of the dynamic 

problems experienced in space systems design and 

operation, categorizes them as to causes, and 

envisions future program implications, developing 

recommendations for analysis and test 

approaches.

Potential Spin-offs of the Carbon Dioxide 

Observational Platform System (CO-OPS) 

for Remote Sensing Opportunities. J. 

Briscoe Stephens. System Dynamics Laboratory. 

Alternate remote sensing techniques that 

could utilize the slight losses of energy from the 

microwave beam which powers the NASA/MSFC 

Carbon Dioxide Observational Platform System 

(CO-OPS) to achieve the objectives of the U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) Carbon Dioxide 

Research Program’s regional observational data 

requirements, ODRs, are addressed heuristically. 

The opportunity for regional remote sensing 

of the carbon dioxide and water vapor constituents in the atmosphere are discussed as a potential spin-off of the CO-OPS. The CO-OPS is 

envisioned as a high altitude (-25 km) observational platform system powered by microwave 

energy for regional observational use by the DOE 

in their Carbon Dioxide Research Program.

Space Station Rotational Equations of 

Motion. Mario H. Rheinfurth and Stanley 

N. Carroll. Systems Dynamics Laboratory. 

Dynamic equations of motion are developed 

which describe the rotational motion for a large 

space structure having rotating appendages. The 

presence of the appendages produce torque 

coupling terms which are dependent on the 

inertia properties of the appendages and the rotational rates for both the space structure and the 

appendages. These equations were formulated to 

incorporate into the Space Station Attitude Control and Stabilization Test Bed to accurately 

describe the influence rotating solar arrays and 

thermal radiators have on the dynamic behavior 

of the Space Station.
