Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a history of the development of the Space Transportation System (STS) to date between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the executive agency acting for the Department of Defense, the United States Air Force. The STS consists of the NASA-developed space shuttle orbiter, the USAF-developed upper stage, the communications networks and launch base complexes of both agencies, and the satellite payloads developed by many user agencies to be placed in space. The program development is traced chronologically in terms of key joint-agency agreements, management interfaces, and compromises made as implementation of early proposals was accomplished. A proposal is made to develop a joint-agency STS operation authority responsive to national command/policy channels. (Author).

Download or read book DOD NASA Support Operations Management Interface written by Thomas E. Timothy and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the manner in which support operations have been provided from DOD resources to the NASA for manned space flight endeavors. Of particular interest was the investigation of the new Space Shuttle program. The approach used was to examine the historical documents of manned space flight through the recently concluded Apollo Soyuz mission. This investigation developed the extremely successful way in which support operations have been managed by the DOD. Additional research was carried into the Space Shuttle documentation for an insight into how this same type support might be supplied for that mission. This study points out how a well defined, operationally tested management interface is being allowed to deteriorate and perhaps be discarded for a program that appears to need it desperately.

Download or read book DOD Participation in the Shuttle Program a Management Analysis written by James P. Baker and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the potential impact of DOD participation in the Space Shuttle Program upon future military space operations. Five key issues affecting DOD future Shuttle operations are: (1) Inadequate management interface between DOD/NASA; (2) DOD/USAF political considerations in the Shuttle support; (3) Inadequate USAF funding during early states of the program; (4) Inadequate integrated logistics support; and (5) Mission applications and payload integration problems. Each of these areas is discussed in detail in the report. The author concludes that lack of DOD commitment to the Shuttle Program, in which DOD is a major user, may cause DOD to be severely limited in its potential application of the system in the next decade.
Download or read book Preparing for the High Frontier written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-12-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) retires the Space Shuttle and shifts involvement in International Space Station (ISS) operations, changes in the role and requirements of NASA's Astronaut Corps will take place. At the request of NASA, the National Research Council (NRC) addressed three main questions about these changes: what should be the role and size of Johnson Space Center's (JSC) Flight Crew Operations Directorate (FCOD); what will be the requirements of astronaut training facilities; and is the Astronaut Corps' fleet of training aircraft a cost-effective means of preparing astronauts for NASA's spaceflight program? This report presents an assessment of several issues driven by these questions. This report does not address explicitly the future of human spaceflight.

Download or read book Management of DOD Space Payload Integration in the Space Shuttle Era written by Henry W Steinkamp (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the current management of DOD launch vehicle/spacecraft integration and then shows how the characteristics of the Space Shuttle will require changes to this baseline. The study has been based on a review of NASA and DOD literature, interviews with knowledgeable USAF officials and the author's experience in expendable launch vehicle planning and in Shuttle payload integration development. The results of the investigation provided supporting rationale for establishing a centralized DOD payload/Space Shuttle integration management structure. An important question was whether centralized management would motivate more economical utilization of the Shuttle. In comparison to management decentralized to satellite System Program Offices of Industrial Fund Techniques, it was concluded that centralization would be more effective and efficient. (Author).

Download or read book Military Space Operations Shuttle and Satellite Computer Systems Do Not Meet Performance Objectives written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military space operations currently depend on numerous computer and communication systems to maintain satellites in their proper orbits and control the space shuttle. Since 1980 the Department of Defense has been developing a facility, the Consolidated Space Operations Center, that is intended to command and control military space shuttle and satellite operations. In order to reduce reliance on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Defense in 1979 began developing a control facility for its military shuttle flights. In 1980 Defense decided to also perform satellite control at the same facility. Since 1987, after the shuttle portion was cancelled, the Center's development has focused on satellite control. The Air Force's satellite control network currently tracks about 55 satellites, which provide critical communication, navigation, surveillance, and weather services. Since 1981, Defense has spent about $1.4 billion to develop a new Consolidated Space Operations Center near Colorado Springs, Colorado, including its computer and communication capabilities, and to upgrade the capabilities of the existing satellite control facility located at Sunnyvale, California.
Download or read book Standard Spacecraft Procurement Analysis written by Elwyn D. Harris and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines organizational and procurement issues surrounding NASA-DOD cooperation for a specific case study--DOD use of NASA standard spacecraft. Space shuttle operation, as the U.S. standard launch vehicle for both NASA and DOD payloads, refocuses attention on NASA-DOD cooperation. Use of standard spacecraft designs offers reduced operational costs, but intensifies the difficulty of determining agency needs and responsibilities while retaining mission responsiveness. A modified system-impact-assessment approach compares total costs of alternative procurement options and applies both sensitivity and a fortiori analyses to manage uncertainty. Principal conclusions are: use of a new standard spacecraft design, rather than any original NASA or DOD designs, provides the basis for minimizing the cost of the Air Force Test Program; factors essential to NASA-DOD cooperation are a common subset of missions, a common organization responsibility, and an extensive period of time to develop the organizational mechanics; and the successful NASA-DOD cooperation model is not easily transferred to other situations.
Download or read book Implications of Joint NASA DOD Participation in Space Shuttle Operations written by GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON DC NATIONAL SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIV. and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Space shuttle's emergence as the single launch system for all U.S. Spacecraft, civilian and military, has required increased NASA participation in military space operations. Separate civilian and military space programs have been the topic of substantial debate within NASA, DOD, and the Congress in recent years. The debate has focused on the economies of a joint NASA/DOD space program and the effect that joining the civilian and military space programs will have on the missions of each agency. Advocates of increased cooperation between NASA and DOD argue that this arrangement is economical and efficient. Opponents object to mixing different agency missions and objectives. This report discusses issues related to joint NASA/DOD space activities and makes recommendations to address these issues. (Author).
Download or read book Department of Defense Space Shuttle On Board Software Requirements written by D. B. Urfrig and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents a baseline set of DOD Space Shuttle On-Board Software Requirements prepared under the direction of the Space and Missile Systems Organization (AFSC). These requirements are concerned with the DOD operational use of the space shuttle and pertain to that portion of the software which resides in the orbiter's on-board general purpose computers (five IBM AP-101's) and their two associated mass memories. Emphasis is placed on the payload management and payload handling functions because these functional areas are of particular importance to DOD as an operational user of the space shuttle. Other functions addressed are guidance, navigation, flight control, systems management, displays and controls, flight computer operating system, system interfaces, and mission planning. (Author).
