    NESTA: NASA Engineering Shuttle Telemetry Agent (2005)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The Spaceport Processing Systems Branch at NASA Kennedy Space Center has developed and deployed an agent based tool to monitor the Space Shuttle's ground processing telemetry stream. The application, the NASA Engineering Shuttle Telemetry Agent, increases situational awareness for system and hardware engineers during ground processing of the Shuttle's subsystems. The agent provides autonomous monitoring of the telemetry stream and automatically alerts system engineers when predefined criteria have been met. Efficiency and safety are improved through increased automation. Sandia National Labs' Java Expert System Shell is employed as the rule engine. The shell's predicate logic lends itself well to capturing the heuristics and specifying the engineering rules of this spaceport domain. The declarative paradigm of the rule-based agent yields a highly modular and scalable design spanning multiple subsystems of the Shuttle. Several hundred monitoring rules have been written thus far with corresponding notifications sent to Shuttle engineers. This paper discusses the rule-based telemetry agent used for Space Shuttle ground processing and explains the problem domain, development of the agent software, benefits of AT technology, and deployment and sustaining engineering of the product.

    Space Shuttle Orbiter Reaction Jet Driver (RJD): Independent Technical Assessment/Inspection (ITA/I) Report, Version 1.0 (2005)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-11
    Description: The Space Shuttle Program (SSP) has a zero-fault-tolerant design related to an inadvertent firing of the primary reaction control jets on the Orbiter during mated operations with the International Space Station (ISS). Failure modes identified by the program as a wire-to-wire "smart" short or a Darlington transistor short resulting in a failed-on primary thruster during mated operations with ISS can drive forces that exceed the structural capabilities of the docked Shuttle/ISS structure. The assessment team delivered 17 observations, 6 findings and 15 recommendations to the Space Shuttle Program.

    Fire, Explosion, Compatibility and Safety Hazards of Hydrogen Peroxide (2005)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: High-test hydrogen peroxide (HP) is an energetic liquid with widespread use in a variety of industrial and aerospace applications. In recent years, there has been increased interest in its use as a "green" or environmentally benign propellant in spacecraft and defense propulsion and power systems. HP, however, can be a significant hazard if not properly handled. In addition, hydrogen peroxide is unstable when exposed to trace contaminants, which may catalyze decomposition and result in violent thermal runaway. Many advanced and newly developed alloys, polymers, composites and other construction materials (such as those used in tankage and piping systems) have not been tested for compatibility with hydrogen peroxide. The reliability of extrapolating from short-term compatibility test results to long-term compatibility has not yet been fully assessed. Therefore, the users and designers of HP systems must be aware of these hazards and unknowns and take the appropriate precautions.

    The Role of Toxicity Testing in NASA's Future Missions (2005)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-18
    Description: NASA has deemed it necessary to perform the Toxicity Test (offgassing of toxic products) on all non-metallic materials proposed for use in habitable environments onboard the Shuttle and International Space Station flS,!J. This requirement stems from the desire to maintain a healthy, breathable atmosphere for the astronauts. As Shuttle missions have lengthened and with the habitation of the International Space Station, the need for understanding and controlling the contaminants in breathable atmospheres has increased. The increased duration of humans in space present two concerns to the astronauts with regard to their breathing air: 1. Breathing the on-board air. 2. Improved cleaning/filtering of existing air. Trends using existing toxicity data for materials and an understanding of the air cleaning/filtering capabilities in relation to Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentrations (SMAC) of offgassed components are explored. Recommendations are made for materials selection practices that should be followed to ensure a safe and healthy breathing environment for astronauts aboard these long term projects. The importance and relevance of Toxicity testing and materials selection in conjunction with the new NASA missions of creating a human presence on the Moon and traveling to Mars are described.
