Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A little-known yet critical part of NASA history Life in Space explores the many aspects and outcomes of NASA’s research in life sciences, a little-understood endeavor that has often been overlooked in histories of the space agency. Maura Mackowski details NASA’s work in this field from spectacular promises made during the Reagan era to the major new directions set by George W. Bush’s Vision for Space Exploration in the early twenty-first century. At the first flight of NASA’s space shuttle in 1981, hopes ran high for the shuttle program to achieve its potential of regularly transporting humans, cargo, and scientific experiments between Earth and the International Space Station. Mackowski describes different programs, projects, and policies initiated across NASA centers and headquarters in the following decades to advance research into human safety and habitation, plant and animal biology, and commercial biomaterials. Mackowski illuminates these ventures in fascinating detail by drawing on rare archival sources, oral histories, interviews, and site visits. While highlighting significant achievements and innovations such as space radiation research and the Neurolab Spacelab Mission, Mackowski reveals frustrations—lost opportunities, stagnation, and dead ends—stemming from frequent changes in presidential administrations and policies. For today’s dreams of lunar outposts or long-term spaceflight to become reality, Mackowski argues, a robust program in space life sciences is essential, and the history in this book offers lessons to help prevent leaving more expectations unfulfilled.

Book An Inviscid Computational Study of the Space Shuttle Orbiter and Several Damaged Configurations

Download or read book An Inviscid Computational Study of the Space Shuttle Orbiter and Several Damaged Configurations written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inviscid aerodynamic characteristics of the Space Shuttle Orbiter were computed in support of the Columbia Accident Investigation. The unstructured grid software FELISA was used and computations were done using freestream conditions corresponding to those in the NASA Langley 20-Inch Mach 6 CF4 tunnel test section. The angle of attack was held constant at 40 degrees. The baseline (undamaged) configuration and a large number of damaged configurations of the Orbiter were studied. Most of the computations were done on a half model. However, one set of computations was done using the full-model to study the effect of sideslip. The differences in the aerodynamic coefficients for the damaged and the baseline configurations were computed. Simultaneously with the computation reported here, tests were being done on a scale model of the Orbiter in the 20-Inch Mach 6 CF4 tunnel to measure the deltas . The present computations complemented the CF4 tunnel test, and provided aerodynamic coefficients of the Orbiter as well as its components. Further, they also provided details of the flow field.Prabhu, Ramadas K. and Merski, N.
