    Description: Properly tuned Helmholtz resonator damping devices are an effective method for eliminating high frequency combustion instability in rocket engine thrust chambers. A program was implemented with the objective of extending Helmholtz resonator theory to thrust chamber conditions to establish a standard design procedure. By using systematic cold-flow testing and hot firings, empirical design equations were formulated. An effort is currently underway to extend the design theory to other types of acoustical damping devices such as quarter-wave tubes and slots.

    Status of reusable surface insulation thermal protection system technology programs (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: The development of three low-density rigidized insulation materials for the shuttle TPS application is reported. These materials consist of one high purity silica system and two systems based on mullite, an aluminum silicate. Both systems consist of fibers joined together with appropriate binders to obtain a rigidized insulation composite. Both material systems require the application of a glassy coating to provide a wear resistant, high emittance surface and to prevent the absorption of water by the fiber matrix. The technology program has addressed the development of water impervious coatings, methods of assembling the materials in design concepts while minimizing the thermal stress in the insulation, achieving compatibility between the RSI material and the structural system, and test evaluations to demonstrate the feasibility of the surface insulation concept.

    Dynamic analysis for shuttle design verification (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Two approaches that are used for determining the modes and frequencies of space shuttle structures are discussed. The first method, direct numerical analysis, involves finite element mathematical modeling of the space shuttle structure in order to use computer programs for dynamic structural analysis. The second method utilizes modal-coupling techniques of experimental verification made by vibrating only spacecraft components and by deducing modes and frequencies of the complete vehicle from results obtained in the component tests.

    Surface studies on Surveyor 3 tubing sections (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Sections C and E of the unpainted, polished aluminum tubing from the strut of the radar altimeter and Doppler velocity sensor were examined in a transmission electron microscope for micrometeorite damage and ion bombardment. Both sections were contaminated and eroded on one side; it is suggested that these conditions were caused by sandblasting by lunar dust and retrorocket plume contamination during Surveyor 3 landing. Microcraters of different configurations were found on the bright sides of the tubes. Several degrees of violence were involved in the formation of the craters, and the particle size could be responsible for some differences. All micropits found were on the bright areas and data indicate 0.2 hypervelocity impact/sq cm and 2/sq cm for other types of craters. The greatest degree of damage resulted from particle impact and was limited to a maximum depth of 2 microns.

    Development of a silicone ablator for high-heat-flux and high-shear-rate condition (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: A silicone material was developed which gives suitable ablative protection in the high heat flux, high shear environments encountered in severe reentry applications, such as nose cones for ballistic vehicles and protection of leading edges or other critical areas of a vehicle. In addition, the ease of handling, low application cost, and room temperature cure make such a silicon material suitable nozzles for the large rockets necessary for vehicle launching. The development of this product is traced from the selection of suitable polymers through the choice of fillers and the finalization of filler loadings.

    Aerodynamic studies of delta-wing shuttle orbiters. Part 2: Hypersonics (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: An early version of an external hydrogen-oxygen tank orbiter was used as a baseline vehicle to experimentally evaluate: (1) nose shape and canopy effects on longitudinal, lateral, and directional stability and trim, and (2) yaw due to aerodynamic roll control at hypersonic speeds. Nose alterations were examined since that part of the vehicle may be subject to modifications because of internal packaging requirements, alleviation of potential high heating areas, and/or possible improvements in aerodynamic stability and control. There was also some concern about the effect of the rather high profile canopy on the aerodynamics; therefore its removal was examined. In addition, roll-yaw coupling was investigated because of its impact on the RCS fuel requirements for entry maneuvers.

    Impact of subsonic aerodynamic considerations on a space shuttle booster configuration (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Considerations of cruise-back efficiency and subsonic flying qualities are shown to have resulted in a configuration with an aft high wing of moderate aspect ratio and with vertical tails located at the wing tips. The need to protect the air breathing engines during ascent and reentry and the desire for a low trim penalty longitudinal control surface led to consideration of a jet-flap canard. The advantages of this application of STOL technology to a space system are examined and the results of both wind tunnel tests and flight simulations are discussed. Since the use of the jet-flap canard concept offers the potential for a minimum weight vehicle, a proposed technology development program is outlined in order that the full benefit of this concept may be realized.

    Nozzle exhaust plume backscatter experiment using the JPL Molsink facility (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Qualitative tests were made by injecting water through a rocket nozzle wall, and the droplet trajectories were observed photographically. These tests were conducted for nozzles in which boundary layer flow is significant. The tests indicated that both gases and particulate matter will be found in the region outside of the plume boundaries, and can be calculated using current analytical techniques. A test program is being conducted to measure the distribution of exhaust gases from small nozzles using an electron beam/photomultiplier system and a matrix of quartz crystal microbalances. Calibration tests, using simulated hydrazine exhaust product gas mixtures, were also conducted. The test program and results of the pumping calibration tests with hydrazine (simulated hydrazine exhaust products) are reported.

    On the possibility of Earth reentry simulation of shallow angle Jupiter entry (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Possible Earth reentry simulation of shallow-angle (3 to 30 deg) Jupiter entry was investigated in terms of four parameters of the bow shock layer ahead of a blunt vehicle: peak (equilibrium) temperature, peak pressure, peak inward radiative flux, and time-integrated radiative flux. It is shown that simulation ranging from fair to good can be achieved. Reentry is easiest (lowest Earth reentry speed) at steep Earth reentry, in the Earth entry speed range of 15 to 22 km/sec, for both the Jupiter nominal and cool atmospheres. Increased Earth speed is required, generally, for increasing Jupiter entry angle, and for increasing temperature, radiative flux, time-integrated flux and pressure, in that order.

    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Pyrolized carbon-carbon has one unique advantage over other materials that makes its application to the space shuttle thermal protection system very attractive. This unique characteristic is the increase in material strength and modulus with increase in temperature up to about 2500 K (4040 F). Offsetting this unique advantage are disadvantages which include brittleness, high cost, and the tendency of the material to react with oxygen, particularly at high temperatures. The development of an oxidation inhibitor for the material and the definition of fabrication processes for selected full-scale components are considered.

An evaluation of several heat pipe designs showed that the behavior of heat pipes at room temperature does not necessarily correlate with the classic equations used to predict their performance. They are sensitive to such parameters as temperature, fluid inventory, orientation, and noncondensable gases.

    Aerodynamic studies of delta-wing shuttle orbiters. Part 1: Low speed (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Numerous wind tunnel tests conducted on the evolving delta-wing orbiters have generated a fairly large aerodynamic data base over the entire entry operation range of these vehicles. A limited assessment is made of some of the aerodynamics of the current HO type orbiters, and several specific problem areas selected from the broad data base are discussed. These include, from a subsonic viewpoint, discussions of trim drag effect; effects of the installation of main rocket engine nozzles, OMS and RCS packages, Reynolds number effects, lateral-directional stability characteristics, and landing characteristics.

    Materials for foam type insulation (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: An internal foam fabrication is one of the concepts being considered for cryogenic insulation on the hydrogen tanks of the shuttle vehicle. The three-dimensional polyurethane used on the S-4 B tanks failed to meet the higher temperature requirements of the shuttle vehicle, however, and other foams under consideration include polyisocyanurates, polyphenylene oxides, polyimides, and polybenzimidazoles. Improved adhesive systems for attaching the foams to the interior tank wall are under study.

    Wing optimization for space shuttle orbiter vehicles (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: The results were presented of a parametric study performed to determine the optimum wing geometry for a proposed space shuttle orbiter. The results of the study establish the minimum weight wing for a series of wing-fuselage combinations subject to constraints on aerodynamic heating, wing trailing edge sweep, and wing over-hang. The study consists of a generalized design evaluation which has the flexibility of arbitrarily varying those wing parameters which influence the vehicle system design and its performance. The study is structured to allow inputs of aerodynamic, weight, aerothermal, structural and material data in a general form so that the influence of these parameters on the design optimization process can be isolated and identified. This procedure displays the sensitivity of the system design of variations in wing geometry. The parameters of interest are varied in a prescribed fashion on a selected fuselage and the effect on the total vehicle weight is determined. The primary variables investigated are: wing loading, aspect ratio, leading edge sweep, thickness ratio, and taper ratio.

    Status of Langley studies of aerodynamics and interference effects of tandem launch vehicles (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Some of the aerodynamic and interference effects measured from wind-tunnel tests of three fully reusable space shuttle configurations at transonic and low-supersonic speeds are presented, and the status is given of an assessment of the analytical approach to date. The three configurations tested were a low-fineness-ratio booster combined in tandem with a delta-wing orbiter, designated the "low-fineness-ratio configuration,' and a phase B shuttle configuration consisting of the delta-wing orbiter and high-fineness-ratio booster, designated the "stage-arrangement configuration,' arranged in tandem and in parallel. The force measurements obtained at a Mach number of 1.5 for the low-fineness-ratio configuration were representative of the transonic and low-supersonic speed ranges where the interference effects are predominant and were used for comparison with values calculated at the same Mach number. This comparison is the basis for a preliminary assessment of the initial application of the analytical approach.

    A review of the Grumman orbiter wind tunnel heat transfer tests (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Tests were conducted in the NASA Langley continuous flow, variable density and Mach 20 helium tunnels. The orbiter was tested alone and with various side and tandem mounted tanks. Test conditions spanned a Reynolds number range which resulted in both laminar and turbulent flows. Experimental studies also examined the heat transfer problems associated with integration of the auxiliary propulsion system into the orbiter. Tests in the hypersonic shock tunnel investigated heating to cavities and heating from single and multiple hydrogen-oxygen plumes while tests, run as part of the configuration evaluation, examined the heating to wing pods.

    Flammability control in the oxygen environment of the Apollo guidance and navigation equipment (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: The Apollo guidance and navigation (G&N) equipment test program, the redesign philosophy, and the actual equipment modifications that were used to limit burn rates in an environment of 100 percent oxygen at pressures of 6.2 and 16 psia are described. The major approach was a serious basic review of the real function of the nonmetallic materials of concern. The result of this review was that the materials could be replaced, eliminated, or covered by nonflammable metallic materials. Although several low-flammability nonmetallic materials were investigated, the direct approach of cover, eliminate, or replace generally proved to be quicker and more effective.
