This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Profile Measuring Device (PMD) was developed at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center following the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger. It is a rotating gauge used to measure the absolute diameters of mating features of redesigned Solid Rocket Motor field joints. Diameter tolerance of these features are typically + or - 0.005 inches and it is required that the PMD absolute measurement uncertainty be within this tolerance. In this analysis, the absolute accuracy of these measurements were found to be + or - 0.00375 inches, worst case, with a potential accuracy of + or - 0.0021 inches achievable by improved temperature control.

This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interim final report summarizes the activities and major accomplishments under NASA/MSFC Contract NAS8-39235 for the initial two year contractual effort beginning October 1, 1991, and ending September 30, 1993. It is not intended as an exhaustive treatment or review of any particular technical issue which was addressed during this two-year period, but does provide an overview of the many induced environment studies and test support activities undertaken by REMTECH and its subcontractors during this two-year period. The initial scope of work has been pursued vigorously through this two-year period by separating the effort into five functional areas. The five functional areas are ascent plume radiation, ascent plume convection, ascent aerodynamic heating, launch stand environments, and reentry heating. A work breakdown structure (WBS) for each functional area was devised to permit nearly autonomous activities within each functional responsibility while maintaining commonality in reporting procedures and cost accounting. The contract was modified 11 times to provide incremental funding and to expand the scope of work. Additional work breakdown structure was incorporated to meet the expanded scope. A contract chronology is provided in Section 2. The initial scope of work, expanded scope, and corresponding WBS designation are described in Section 3. A summary review of major accomplishments is also provided in Section 4 to show the breadth of activities and extent of reporting. Reports, meetings, test activities, and other accomplishments within each functional area are also summarized by WBS heading in the appendices. Unspecified Center...

This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Solid Rocket Motor Witness Test was undertaken to examine the potential for using thermal infrared imagery as a tool for monitoring static tests of solid rocket motors. The project consisted of several parts: data acquisition, data analysis, and interpretation. For data acquisition, thermal infrared data were obtained of the DM-9 test of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Motor on December 23, 1987, at Thiokol, Inc. test facility near Brigham City, Utah. The data analysis portion consisted of processing the video tapes of the test to produce values of temperature at representative test points on the rocket motor surface as the motor cooled down following the test. Interpretation included formulation of a numerical model and evaluation of some of the conditions of the motor which could be extracted from the data. These parameters included estimates of the insulation remaining following the tests and the thickness of the charred layer of insulation at the end of the test. Also visible was a temperature signature of the star grain pattern in the forward motor segment. Welch, Christopher S. Unspecified Center NAS1-18347; RTOP 505-63-01-17...

This book was released on 1971 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of an overall program to investigate the vibrational environment of small solid-propellant rockets, a captive test firing of a Nike rocket with a boilerplate payload was conducted in a unique test stand which, while restraining the total vehicle displacement, allowed substantial freedom for the test vehicle to vibrate. Measurements were obtained of the vibratory accelerations, pressures in the rocket case, rocket-case strains, and total vehicle displacement and data are presented. A discussion of the analytical procedures used to interpret random phenomena is presented.
