The NASA STI Program Office...in Profile

Since its founding, NASA has been dedicated to

the advancement of aeronautics and space

science. The NASA Scientific and Technical 

Information (STI) Program Office plays a key

part in helping NASA maintain this important

role.

The NASA STI Program Office is operated by 

Langley Research Center, the lead center for 

NASA’s scientific and technical information. The 

NASA STI Program Office provides access to 

the NASA STI Database, the largest collection of 

aeronautical and space science STI in the world. 

The Program Office is also NASA’s institutional 

mechanism for disseminating the results of its 

research and development activities. These results 

are published by NASA in the NASA STI Report 

Series, which includes the following report types:

• TECHNICAL PUBLICATION. Reports of 

completed research or a major significant 

phase of research that present the results of 

NASA programs and include extensive data 

or theoretical analysis. Includes compilations 

of significant scientific and technical data 

and information deemed to be of continuing 

reference value. NASA’s counterpart of peerreviewed formal professional papers but has less 

stringent limitations on manuscript length and 

extent of graphic presentations.

• TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM. Scientific 

and technical findings that are preliminary or of 

specialized interest, e.g., quick release reports, 

working papers, and bibliographies that contain 

minimal annotation. Does not contain extensive 

analysis.

• CONTRACTOR REPORT. Scientific and 

technical findings by NASA-sponsored 

contractors and grantees.

• CONFERENCE PUBLICATION. Collected 

papers from scientific and technical conferences, 

symposia, seminars, or other meetings sponsored 

or cosponsored by NASA.

• SPECIAL PUBLICATION. Scientific, technical, 

or historical information from NASA programs, 

projects, and mission, often concerned with 

subjects having substantial public interest.

• TECHNICAL TRANSLATION. 

English-language translations of foreign 

scientific and technical material pertinent to 

NASA’s mission.

Specialized services that complement the STI 

Program Office’s diverse offerings include creating 

custom thesauri, building customized databases, 

organizing and publishing research results...even 

providing videos.

FOREWORD

In accordance with the NASA Space Act of 1958, the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has provided 

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

Since July 1, 1960, when MSFC 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.”

Thermal and Chemical Characterization of Compos­ite 

Materials (MSFC Center Director’s Discretionary Fund 

Final Report, Project No. ED36–18). D.C. Stanley and 

T.L. Huff. Materials, Processes, and Manufacturing 

Department, Engineering Directorate. 

The purpose of this research effort was to (1) provide 

a concise and well-defined property profile of current and 

developing composite materials using thermal and chemical 

characterization techniques and (2) optimize analytical testing 

requirements of materials. This effort applied a diverse array 

of methodologies to ascertain composite material properties.

Spray Bar Zero-Gravity Vent System for OnOrbit Liquid Hydrogen Storage. L.J. Hastings,* 

R.H. Flachbart, J.J. Martin, A. Hedayat, M. Fazah, 

T. Lak,** H. Nguyen,** and J.W. Bailey***. Vehicle and 

Systems Development Department, Space Trans­portation 

Directorate, *Alpha Technology, Inc., **The Boeing 

Company, and ***Sverdrup Technol­ogy, Inc.

During zero-gravity orbital cryogenic propulsion operations, a thermodynamic vent system (TVS) concept is expected 

to maintain tank pressure control without propellant resettling. 

In this case, a longitudinal spray bar mixer system, coupled 

with a Joule-Thompson (J-T) valve and heat exchanger, was 

evaluated in a series of TVS tests using the 18-m3 multipurpose hydrogen test bed. Tests performed at fill levels of 90, 50, 

and 25 percent, coupled with heat tank leaks of about 20 and 

50 W, successfully demonstrated tank pressure control within 

a 7-kPa band. Based on limited testing, the presence of helium 

con­strained the energy exchange between the gaseous and 

liquid hydrogen (LH2) during the mixing cycles. A tran­sient 

analytical model, formulated to characterize TVS performance, 

was used to correlate the test data. During self-pressurization cycles following tank lockup, the model predicted faster 

pressure rise rates than were meas­ured; however, once the 

system entered the cyclic self-pressurization/mixing/venting 

operational mode, the modeled and measured data were quite 

similar. During a special test at the 25-percent fill level, the J-T 

valve was allowed to remain open and successfully reduced the 

bulk LH2 saturation pressure from 133 to 70 kPa in 188 min.

Overview of Nonnuclear Testing of the Safe, Afford­able 

30-kW Fission Engine, Including End-to-End Demonstrator Testing. M.K. Van Dyke, J.J. Martin, and M.G. 

Houts. Propulsion Research Center, Space Transportation 

Directorate. 

Successful development of space fission systems will 

require an extensive program of affordable and realistic test-

ing. In addition to tests related to design/development of the 

fission system, realistic testing of the actual flight unit must 

also be performed. At the power levels under consideration 

(3–300 kW electric power), almost all tech­nical issues are 

thermal or stress related and will not be strongly affected by 

the radiation environment. These issues can be resolved more 

thoroughly, less expensively, and in a more timely fashion 

with nonnuclear testing, provided it is prototypic of the system 

in question. This approach was used for the safe, affordable 

fission engine test article development program and accomplished via cooperative efforts with Department of Energy labs, 

industry, universities, and other NASA Centers. This Technical 

Memorandum covers the analysis, testing, and data reduction of a 30-kW simulated reactor as well as an end-to-end 

NASA TECHNICAL MEMORANDA
Often, a single method or technique will provide useful, but 

nonetheless incomplete, information on material composition 

and/or behavior. To more completely understand and predict 

material properties, a broad-based analytical approach is 

required. By developing a database of information comprised of 

both thermal and chemical properties, material behavior under 

varying conditions may be better understood. This is even more 

important in the aerospace community, where new composite 

materials and those in the development stage have little reference data. For example, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy spectral databases available for identification of vapor 

phase spectra, such as those generated during experiments, 

generally refer to well-defined chemical compounds. Because 

this method renders a unique thermal decomposition spectral 

pattern, even larger, more diverse databases, such as those found 

in solid and liquid phase FTIR spectroscopy libraries, cannot 

be used. By combining this and other available methodologies, 

a database specifically for new materials and materials being 

developed at Marshall Space Flight Center can be generated. In 

addition, characterizing materials using this approach will be 

extremely useful in the verification of materials and identification of anomalies in NASA-wide investigations.

Design Development Analyses in Support of a Heat PipeBrayton Cycle Heat Exchanger. B.E. Steeve and R.J. 

Kapernick*. Structures, Mechanics, and Thermal Department, Engineering Directorate, and Los Alamos National 

Laboratory. 

A heat pipe-cooled reactor coupled to a Brayton cycle 

is currently under consideration for nuclear electric propulsion or as a planetary surface power source. In this system, 

power is transferred from the heat pipes to the Brayton gas 

via a heat exchanger attached to the heat pipes. This Technical 

Memorandum (TM) discusses the fluid, thermal, and structural 

analyses that were performed in support of the design of the 

heat exchanger to be tested in the Safe, Affordable Fission 

Engine experimental program at Marshall Space Flight Center. 

A companion paper, “Mechanical Design and Fabrication of 

a SAFE–100 Heat Exchanger for use in NASA’s Advanced 

Propulsion Thermal-Hydraulic Simulator,” presents the fabrication issues and prototyping studies that, together with these 

analyses, led to the development of this heat exchanger. An 

important consideration throughout the design development 

of the heat exchanger was its capability to be used for higher 

power and temperature applications. This TM also discusses 

this aspect of the design and presents designs for specific 

applications under consideration.

Evaluation of Training Samples Manually Welded With 

the Universal Handtool in a Space Simulation Chamber. 

C.K. Russell, T.W. Malone, and S.N. Cato. Materials, 

Processes, and Manufacturing Department, Engineering 

Directorate. 

The international space welding experiment was 

designed to evaluate the universal handtool (UHT) functions as a welding, brazing, coating, and cutting tool for 

in-space operations. The UHT is an electron beam weld-

ing system developed by the Paton Welding Institute 

(PWI), Kiev, Ukraine, and operated at 8 kV with up to 

1 kW of power. In preparation for conducting the space welding 

experiment, cosmonauts were trained to properly operate the 

UHT and correctly process samples.

This Technical Memorandum presents the results of the 

destructive and nondestructive evaluation of the training 

samples made in Russia in 1998. It was con­cluded that acceptable welds can be made with the UHT despite the constraints 

imposed by a space suit. The lap joint fillet weld configuration 

was more suitable than the butt joint configuration for 

operators with limited welding experience. The tube braze 

joint configuration designed by the PWI was easily brazed in 

a repeatable manner.

STARSAT: A Project To Evaluate Ground Tracking of 

Small Objects in Space (MSFC Center Director’s Discretionary Fund Final Report, Project No. 00–11). J.W. 

Campbell, M.R. Carruth, and T.M. Freestone. Materials, 

Processes, and Manufacturing Department, Engineering 

Directorate. 

A laser space calibration experiment is considered using 

the 12-J, 15-Hz high-performance CO2 ladar sur­veillance 

sensor (HI-CLASS) system on the 3.67-m aperture advanced 

electro-optics system (AEOS). The objectives are to provide 

accurate range and signature measurements of orbiting calibration spheres, demonstrate high-resolution tracking capability of 

small objects, and precision drag determination for low-Earth 

orbit (LEO). Ancillary benefits include calibrating radar and 

optical sites, completing satellite conjunction analyses, support-

ing orbital perturbation analyses, and comparing radar and 

optical signatures. A global positioning system (GPS), laser 

beacon instrumented microsatellite about 25 cm in diameter 

will be deployed from a Space Shuttle Hitch­hiker canister or 

other suitable launch means. Orbiting in LEO, the microsatellite will pass over AEOS on the aver­age of two times per 

24-hr period. An onboard orbit propagator will activate the GPS 

unit and a visible laser beacon at the appropriate times. The 

HI-CLASS AEOS will detect the microsatellite as it rises above 

the horizon, using Space Command-generated acquisition 

vectors. GPS data will be transmitted to the ground providing 

independent on-orbit, submeter accuracy location infor­mation 

for the microsatellite.

Analytical Modeling and Test Correlation of Variable 

Density Multilayer Insulation for Cryogenic Storage. 

L.J. Hastings,* A Hedayat, and T.M. Brown. Vehicle and 

Systems Development Department, Space Trans­portation 

Directorate and *Alpha Technology, Inc. 

A unique foam/multilayer insulation (MLI) combination concept for orbital cryogenic storage was experimentally evaluated using a large-scale hydrogen tank. 

The foam substrate insulates for ground-hold periods 

and enables a gaseous nitrogen purge as opposed to 

helium. The MLI, designed for an on-orbit storage period for 

45 days, includes several unique features including a vari­able 

layer density and larger but fewer perforations for vent-

ing during ascent to orbit. Test results with liquid hydrogen 

indicated that the MLI weight or tank heat leak is reduced by 

about half in comparison with standard MLI. The focus of 

this effort is on analytical modeling of the vari­able density 

MLI (VD-MLI) on-orbit perform­ance. The foam/VD-MLI 

model is considered to have five segments. The first segment 

represents the optional foam layer. The second, third, and 

fourth segments represent three different MLI layer densities. 

The last segment is an environmental boundary or shroud that 

surrounds the last MLI layer. Two approaches are considered: 

a variable density MLI modeled layer by layer and a semiempirical model or “modified Lockheed equation.” Results from 

the two models were very comparable and were within 

5–8 percent of the measured data at the 300 K boundary 

condition.

Solid Rocket Booster Hydraulic Pump Port Cap Joint 

Load Testing. W.R. Gamwell and N.C. Murphy. Materials, 

Processes, and Manufacturing Department, Engineering 

Directorate. 

The solid rocket booster uses hydraulic pumps fabri­cated 

from cast C355 aluminum alloy, with 17–4 PH stainless steel 

pump port caps. Corrosion-resistant steel, MS51830 CA204L 

self-locking screw thread inserts are installed into C355 pump 

housings, with A286 stainless steel fasteners installed into the 

insert to secure the pump port cap to the housing. In the past, 

pump port cap fasten­ers were installed to a torque of 33 Nm 

(300 in-lb). How­ever, the structural analyses used a significantly 

higher nut factor than indicated during tests conducted by Boe-

ing Space Systems. When the torque values were reassessed 

using Boeing’s nut factor, the fastener preload had a fac­tor of 

safety of <1, with potential for overloading the joint. This paper 

describes how behavior was determined for a preloaded joint 

with a steel bolt threaded into steel inserts in aluminum parts. 

Finite element models were compared with test results. For all 

initial bolt preloads, bolt loads increased as external applied 

loads increased. For higher initial bolt preloads, less load was 

transferred into the bolt, due to external applied loading. Lower 

torque limits were established for pump port cap fasteners 

and additional limits were placed on insert axial deforma­tion 

under operating conditions after seating the insert with an 

initial preload.

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satel­lite 

(GOES) Product Generation System (GPGS) is intro­duced and 

described. GPGS is a set of computer programs developed and 

maintained at the Global Hydrology and Climate Center and is 

designed to generate meteorologi­cal data products using vis-

ible and infrared measurements from the GOES-East Imager 

and Sounder instruments. The products that are produced by 

GPGS are skin tem­perature, total precipitable water, cloud top 

pressure, cloud albedo, surface albedo, and surface insolation. 

A robust cloud mask is also generated. The retrieval methodology for each product is described to include algo­rithm 

descriptions and required inputs and outputs for the programs. 

Validation is supplied where applicable.

During fiscal year 2002, a team of engineers from TD30/

Advanced Concepts and TD40/Propulsion Research Center 

embarked on a study of potential crewed missions to the outer 

solar system. This study was con­ducted under the auspices 

of the Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts activity 

administered by Langley Research Center (LaRC). The Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) team interacted heavily with 

teams from other Centers, including Glenn Research Center, 

LaRC, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Johnson Space Center. 

The MSFC team generated five concept missions for this project. The concept missions use a variety of technolo­gies, includ-

ing magnetized target fusion (MTF), magne­toplasmadynamic 

thrusters, solid core reactors, and molten salt reactors in various 

combinations. This Tech­nical Publication (TP) reviews these 

five concepts and the methods used to generate them. The 

analytical methods used are described for all significant disciplines and sub­systems. The propulsion and power technologies 

selected for each vehicle are reviewed in detail. The MSFC team 

also expended considerable effort refining the MTF con­cept 

for use with this mission. The results from this effort are also 

contained within this TP. Finally, the lessons learned from this 

activity are summarized in the conclu­sions section.

Gauging the Nearness and Size of Cycle Maximum. Robert 

M. Wilson and David H. Hathaway. Space Science Department, Science Directorate. 

A simple method for monitoring the nearness and size of 

conventional cycle maximum for an ongoing sun­spot cycle is 

examined. The method uses the observed maximum daily value 

and the maximum monthly mean value of international sunspot 

number and the maximum value of the 2-mo moving average 

of monthly mean sun­spot number to effect the estimation. For 

cycle 23, a maximum daily value of 246, a maximum monthly 

mean of 170.1, and a maximum 2-mo moving average of 148.9 

were each observed in July 2000. Taken together, these values 

strongly suggest that conventional maximum amplitude for 

cycle 23 would be ≈124.5, occurring near July 2002 ±5 mo, 

very close to the now well-established conventional maximum 

amplitude and occurrence date for cycle 23—120.8 in April 

2000.

Nucleation Behavior of Oxygen-Acetylene Torch-Produced 

Diamond Films. F.E. Roberts. Materials, Processes, and 

Manufacturing Department, Engi­neering Directorate.

A mechanism is presented for the nucleation of dia­mond in 

the combustion flame environment. A series of six experiments 

and two associated simulations provide results from which 

the mechanism was derived. A sub­stantial portion of the prior 

literature was reviewed and the data and conclusions from the 

previous experimenters were found to support the proposed 

mechanism. The nucleation mechanism builds on the work of 

previous researchers but presents an approach to nucleation in 

a detail and direction not fully presented heretofore. This work 

identifies the gas phase as the controlling environ­ment for the 

initial formulation steps leading to nuclea­tion. The development mechanism explains some of the difficulty which has 

been found in producing single crys­tal epitaxial films.

An experiment which modified the initial gas phase precursor using methane and carbon monoxide is pre­sented. Addition 

of methane into the precursor gases was found to be responsible 

for pillaring of the films. Atomoic force microscopy surface 

roughness data provided a rea­sonable look at suppression of 

nucleation by carbon mon­oxide. Surface finish data was taken 

on crystals which were open to the nucleation environment 

and generally parallel to the substrate surface. These surfaces 

were measured as an independent measure of the instantaneous 

nucleation environment. A gas flow and substrate experi­ment 

changed the conditions on the surface of the sample by increasing the gas flow rate while remaining on a con­sistent point of 

the atomic constituent diagram, and by changing the carbide 

potential of the substrate. Two tip modification experiments 

looked at the behavior of gas phase nucleation by modifying 

the shape and behavior of the flame plasma in which the diamond nucleation is sus­pected to occur. Diamond nucleation and 

growth was additionally examined using a high-velocity oxygen 

fuel gun and C3H6 as the fuel gas phase precursor with addi­tion 

of carbon monoxide gas or addition of liquid toluene.

Several recent near-miss encounters with asteroids and 

comets have focused attention on the threat of a cata­strophic 

impact with the Earth. This Technical Publication reviews the 

historical impact record and current under­standing of the number and location of near-Earth objects (NEOs) to address their 

impact probability. Various ongoing projects intended to survey 

and catalog the NEO population are also reviewed. Details are

given of a Mar­shall Space Flight Center-led study intended to 

develop and assess various candidate systems for protection of 

the Earth against NEOs. Details of analytical tools, trajectory 

tools, and a tool that was created to model both the unde­flected 

inbound path of an NEO as well as the modified, postdeflection path are given. A representative selection of these possible 

options was modeled and evaluated. It is hoped that this study 

will raise the level of attention about this very real threat and 

also demonstrate that successful defense is both possible and 

practicable, provided appro­priate steps are taken.

Plasma Sail Concept Fundamentals. G.V. Khazanov, 

P. Delamere,* K. Kabin,** and T.J. Linde***. Space 

Science Department, Science Directorate, *University of 

Colorado, **University of Alberta, and ***The University 

of Chicago. 

The mini-magnetospheric plasma propulsion (M2P2) dvice, 

originally proposed by Winglee et al., predicts that a 15-km 

standoff distance (or 20-km cross-sectional dimension) of the 

magnetic bubble will provide for suffi­cient momentum transfer 

from the solar wind to acceler­ate a spacecraft to unprecedented 

speeds of 50–80 km/s after an acceleration period of ≈3 mo. Such 

velocities will enable travel out of the solar system in a period of 

≈7 yr—almost an order of magnitude improvement over 

present chemical-based propulsion systems. However, for the 

parameters of the simulation of Winglee et al., a fluid model 

for the interaction of M2P2 with the solar wind is not valid. It 

is assumed in the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid model, 

normally applied to planetary mag­netospheres, that the characteristic scale size is much greater than the Larmor radius 

and ion skin depth of the solar wind. In the case of M2P2, the 

size of the magnetic bubble is actually less than or comparable 

to the scale of these characteristic parameters. Therefore, a 

kinetic approach, which addresses the small-scale physical 

mechanisms, must be used. A two-component approach to 

determining a preliminary estimate of the momentum transfer 

to the plasma sail has been adopted. The first component is a 

self-consistent MHD simulation of the small-scale expansion 

phase of the magnetic bubble. The fluid treatment is valid to 

roughly 5 km from the source and the steady-state MHD solution at the 5 km boundary was then used as initial conditions 

for the hybrid simula­tion. The hybrid simulations showed that 

the forces delivered to the innermost regions of the plasma sail 

are considerably (≈10 times) smaller than the MHD counterpart, 

are dominated by the magnetic field pressure gradient, and are 

directed primarily in the transverse direction.

Performance Theory of Diagonal Conducting Wall 

Magnetohydrodynamic Accelerators. R.J. Litchford. 

Advanced Space Transportation Program, Space Transportation Directorate. 

The theoretical performance of diagonal conducting 

wall crossed-field accelerators is examined on the basis of an 

infinite segmentation assumption using a cross-plane averaged 

generalized Ohm’s law for a partially ionized gas, including 

ion slip. The desired accelerator perform­ance relationships are 

derived from the cross-plane aver­aged Ohm’s law by imposing 

appropriate configuration and loading constraints. A currentdependent effective voltage drop model is also incorporated 

to account for cold-wall boundary layer effects, including 

gasdynamic variations, discharge constriction, and electrode 

falls. Definition of dimensionless electric fields and current 

densities leads to the construction of graphical perform­ance 

diagrams, which further illuminate the rudimentary behavior 

of crossed-field accelerator operation.

Application of the Maximum Amplitude-Early Rise Correlation to Cycle 23. Robert M. Wilson and David H. 

Hathaway. Space Science Department, Science 

Directorate. 

On the basis of the maximum amplitude-early rise correlation, cycle 23 could have been predicted to be about the size of 

the mean cycle as early as 12 mo fol­lowing cycle minimum. 

Indeed, estimates for the size of cycle 23 throughout its rise 

consistently suggested a maximum amplitude that would not 

differ appreciably from the mean cycle, contrary to predictions 

based on precursor information. Because cycle 23’s average 

slope during the rising portion of the solar cycle measured 2.4, 

computed as the difference between the conventional maximum 

(120.8) and minimum (8) amplitudes divided by the ascent 

duration in months (47), statistically speak­ing, it should be a 

cycle of shorter period. Hence, con­ventional sunspot minimum 

for cycle 24 should occur before December 2006, probably 

near July 2006 (±4 mo). However, if cycle 23 proves to be 

a statistical outlier, then conventional sunspot minimum for 

cycle 24 would be delayed until after July 2007, probably near 

December 2007 (±4 mo). In anticipation of cycle 24, a chart 

and table are provided for easy monitoring of the nearness and 

size of its maximum amplitude once onset has occurred (with 

respect to the mean cycle and using the updated maximum 

amplitude-early rise relationship).

Toxic Gas Exposure Risks Associated With Potential 

Shuttle Catastrophic Failures. B. Jeffrey Anderson and 

Rebecca C. McCaleb. Engineering Systems Department, 

Engineering Directorate. 

From early in the Shuttle program, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has modeled hydrogen chloride (HCl) release by burning solid propel­lant in the solid rocket 

boosters. In 1998, the United States Air Force 45th Space Wing 

NASA TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS
instituted more strin­gent launch commit criteria (LCC) for the 

Titan and Delta vehicles and proposed that the same LCC be 

applied to the Shuttle to enhance safety of onsite visitors and 

offsite public. Two types of health and safety standards were 

applicable: (1) Expected casualties and risk and (2) air quality 

emergency response.

This study addresses the issues using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-recommended model, CALPUFF. 

Results were compared to those produced by the USAF model, 

REEDM, developed for projecting air quality from nominal 

launches. Model performance was also evaluated against results 

of a Kennedy Space Center-sponsored study at the Los Alamos 

National Laboratory (LANL) using a computer-intensive, wildfire model.

CALPUFF and the LANL model are capable of multipuff modeling of multiple sources. REEDM is a singlesource, single-puff model. This study revealed significant 

deficiencies in REEDM when applied to the catastroph-

ic failure problem. CALPUFF results indicate that, if 

a Shuttle abort were to occur over land, serious levels 

of HCl exposure could occur out to distances of at least 

10 km, sufficient range to include major onsite visitor view­ing 

areas. A preliminary survey of mitigation alternatives indicates cost-effective measures could be implemented that are 

sufficiently protective. Recent safety initiatives in response 

to the Columbia Accident Investigation Board report are not 

reflected here.

(SEE) Program, NAVSEA Crane, and the *Naval Research 

Laboratory. 

This effort is a detailed analysis of existing microelectronics and photonics test bed satellite data from one experiment, the bipolar test board, looking to improve our understanding of the enhanced low dose rate sensitiv­ity (ELDRS) 

phenomenon. Over the past several years, extensive total 

dose irradiations of bipolar devices have demonstrated that 

many of these devices exhibited ELDRS. In sensitive bipolar 

transistors, ELDRS produced enhanced degradation of base 

current, resulting in enhanced gain degradation at dose rates 

<0.1 rd(Si)/s compared to similar transistors irradiated at dose rates 

>1 rd(Si)/s. This Technical Publication provides updated information about the test devices, the in-flight experi­ment, and both 

flight-and ground-based observations. Flight data are presented 

for the past 5 yr of the mission. These data are compared to 

ground-based data taken on devices from the same date code 

lots. Information about temperature fluctuations, power shutdowns, and other variables encountered during the space flight 

are documented.

an excellent forum for reviewing, evaluating, and updating 

pertinent strategic planning, identifying advanced concepts 

and high-risk/high-leverage research and technology requirements, develop­ing strategies and roadmaps, and establishing 

approaches, methodologies, modeling, and tools for facilitat-

ing the commercial development of space and supporting 

diverse exploration and scientific missions. Also, the workshop 

adressed important topic areas including revolutionary space 

systems requiring investments in innovative advanced technologies; achieving transformational space operations through the 

insertion of new technologies; revolutionary science in space 

through advanced systems and new technologies enabling 

experiments to go anytime to any location; and, innovative and

Group. 

NASA is constantly searching for new ideas and approaches yielding opportunities for assuring maximum returns on 

space infrastructure investments. Perhaps the idea of transformational innovation in developing space systems is long overdue. However, the concept of utiliz­ing modular space system 

designs combined with step­ping-stone development processes 

has merit and promises to return several times the original 

investment since each new space system or component is not 

treated as a unique and/or discrete design and development 

challenge. New space systems can be planned and designed 

so that each builds on the technology of previous systems and 

pro­vides capabilities to support future advanced systems. Subsystems can be designed to use common modular components 

and achieve economies of scale, production, and operation. 

Standards, interoperability, and “plug and play” capabilities, 

when implemented vigorously and consistently, will result in 

systems that can be upgraded effectively with new technologies. This workshop explored many building-block approaches 

via way of example across a broad spectrum of technology 

discipline areas for potentially transforming space systems and 

inspiring future innovation. Details describing the work­shop 

structure, process, and results are contained in this Conference 

Publication.

Characterization of Magnetospheric Spacecraft Charg-

ing Environments Using the LANL Magneto­spheric 

Plasma Analyzer Data Set. V.A. Davis, M.J. Mandell, and 

M.F. Thomsen. NASA’s Space Envi­ronments and 

Effects (SEE) Program, Science Appli­cations International 

Corporation. 

An improved specification of the plasma environ­ment has 

been developed for use in modeling spacecraft charging. It was 

developed by statistically analyzing a large part of the LANL 

Magnetospheric Plasma Analyzer (MPA) data set for ion and 

electron spectral signature correlation with spacecraft charging, 

including anisot­ropies. The objective is to identify a relatively 

simple characterization of the full particle distribution that yield 

an accurate prediction of the observed charging under a wide 

variety of conditions.

Analysis of CRRES PHA Data for Low-Energy-Deposition 

Events. P.J. McNulty. NASA’s Space Environments and 

Effects (SEE) Program, Clemson University. 

This effort analyzed the low-energy deposition Pulse 

Height Analyzer (PHA) data from the Combined Release and 

Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES). The high-energy deposition data had been previously analyzed and shown to be in 

agreement with spallation reactions pre­dicted by the Clemson 

University Proton Interactions in Devices (CUPID) simulation 

model and existing envi­ronmental and orbit positioning models 

(AP-8 with USAF B-L coordinates). The scope of this project 

was to develop and improve the CUPID model by increasing 

its range to lower incident particle energies, and to expand the 

modeling to include contributions from elastic inter­actions. 

Before making changes, it was necessary to iden­tify experimental data suitable for benchmarking the codes; then, the models 

to the CRRES PHA data could be applied. It was also planned 

to test the model against available low-energy proton or neutron 

SEU data obtained with mono-energetic beams.

Mining CRRES IDM Pulse Data and CRRES Environmental Data to Improve Spacecraft Charg­ing/Discharg-

ing Models and Guidelines. A.R. Frederickson and D.H. 

Brautigam*. NASA’s Space Environments and Effects 

(SEE) Program, *Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory. 

One can truly predict the charging and pulsing in space over 

a year’s time using only the physics that worked for periods of 

an hour and less in prior publica­tions. All portions of the task 

were achieved, including the optional portion of determining 

a value for conductiv­ity that best fit the data. 

Fortran statements were developed that are required for 

the NUMIT runs to work with this kind of data from space. In 

addition to developing the Fortran for NUMIT, simple correlations between the IDM pulsing history and the space radiation 

were observed because we now have a better characterization 

of the space radiation. 

The study showed that: (1) the new methods for measurement of charge storage and conduction in insula­tors provide 

the correct values to use for prediction of charging and puls-

ing in space; (2) the methods in NUMIT that worked well for 

time durations less than hours now work well for durations of 

months; (3) an average spec­trum such as AE8 is probably not 

a good guide for pre­dicting pulsing in space—one must take 

time dependence into account in order to understand insulator 

pulsing; and (4) the old method for predicting pulse rates in 

space that was based on the CRRES data could be improved 

to include dependencies on material parameters.

The NASA STI Program Office...in Profile

Since its founding, NASA has been dedicated to

the advancement of aeronautics and space

science. The NASA Scientific and Technical 

Information (STI) Program Office plays a key

part in helping NASA maintain this important

role.

The NASA STI Program Office is operated by 

Langley Research Center, the lead center for 

NASA’s scientific and technical information. The 

NASA STI Program Office provides access to 

the NASA STI Database, the largest collection of 

aeronautical and space science STI in the world. 

The Program Office is also NASA’s institutional 

mechanism for disseminating the results of its 

research and development activities. These results 

are published by NASA in the NASA STI Report 

Series, which includes the following report types:

• TECHNICAL PUBLICATION. Reports of 

completed research or a major significant 

phase of research that present the results of 

NASA programs and include extensive data 

or theoretical analysis. Includes compilations 

of significant scientific and technical data 

and information deemed to be of continuing 

reference value. NASA’s counterpart of peerreviewed formal professional papers but has less 

stringent limitations on manuscript length and 

extent of graphic presentations.

• TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM. Scientific 

and technical findings that are preliminary or of 

specialized interest, e.g., quick release reports, 

working papers, and bibliographies that contain 

minimal annotation. Does not contain extensive 

analysis.

• CONTRACTOR REPORT. Scientific and 

technical findings by NASA-sponsored 

contractors and grantees.

• CONFERENCE PUBLICATION. Collected 

papers from scientific and technical conferences, 

symposia, seminars, or other meetings sponsored 

or cosponsored by NASA.

• SPECIAL PUBLICATION. Scientific, technical, 

or historical information from NASA programs, 

projects, and mission, often concerned with 

subjects having substantial public interest.

• TECHNICAL TRANSLATION. 

English-language translations of foreign 

scientific and technical material pertinent to 

NASA’s mission.

Specialized services that complement the STI 

Program Office’s diverse offerings include creating 

custom thesauri, building customized databases, 

organizing and publishing research results...even 

providing videos.
