In a year in which presidential campaign topics have included space, talk of re-evaluating NASA’s space vision abounds. NASA says it is on track to retire the shuttle fleet by 2010 and move on with higher aspirations.
If you think engineering design today is focused only on high-volume, short-cycle, penny-critical products, you’re wrong. NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander, launched from Cape Canaveral Aug. 4, carries a platform of seven analytical lab instruments that represent the culmination of years of extraordinarily detailed thinking, planning, evaluation, redesign and production, all to exacting standards, for …
Feb. 20 (Bloomberg) — The space shuttle Atlantis landed at a Florida airstrip today, capping a 13-day mission that included delivery of the Columbus science lab, Europe’s biggest contribution to the space station.
Q: Has NASA directed civil servants and/or contractor personnel to look at Orion CEV designs that would be limited flying a crew of 4 to the ISS? A: No.
An east Texas company is being called upon to contribute to the space program.
Vibrations in the booster might shake the top of the rocket so violently that any astronauts aboard would suffer severe, perhaps fatal, injuries. That sounds alarming, but NASA officials insist it’s just a step in designing and engineering — identifying problems and solving them.
Preliminary calculations by NASA last summer suggested that the rocket it had on the drawing board to replace the space shuttle possessed a design flaw: vibrations in the booster might shake the top of the rocket so violently that any astronauts riding aboard would suffer severe, perhaps fatal, injuries.
