Survey of Technologies Relevant to Defense From Near-Earth Objects
ISBN: 9781503337985 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nearly 300 million yrs ago a comet with a diameter of approx.10 km struck the Earth near Chicxulub in present-day Mexico. The impact created a crater nearly 300 km in diameter and drove very large quantities of dust and debris into the atmosphere. The dust prevented much of the Sun's radiation from reaching the Earth's surface and the resulting Ice Age caused the extinction of approx. 50 percent of the existing animal species-including, most famously, the dinosaurs. Approximately 50,000 yrs ago a stony-iron asteroid with a diameter of approx. 150 m struck the Earth in what is now...

NASA Risk Management Handbook
ISBN: 9781502975652 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In some form, risk management (RM) has always been an integral part of virtually every challenging human endeavor. A formal and, at that time, qualitative RM process known as Continuous Risk Management (CRM) was introduced to NASA in the latter half of the 1990s. More rigorous quantitative RM processes including Risk-Informed Decision Making (RIDM) and an enhanced version of CRM have only recently been developed for implementation as an integral part of systems engineering at NASA. While there will probably always be vigorous debate over the details of what comprises the best approach to...

Airplane Upset Training Evaluation Report
ISBN: 9781505569087 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 578 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the last decades, loss of control in flight was the largest category of commercial jet fatal accidents worldwide. Precipitating factors in these accidents have included equipment failures and system anomalies, weather phenomena, inappropriate use of flight controls or systems, inappropriate control responses by crew, or some combination of these factors. In many of these accidents flight crews could have recovered from the initial upset attitude by promptly applying appropriate control inputs. However, recovery from upset attitudes is challenging, even for highly experienced airline...

COMPASS Final Report: Radioisotope Electric Propulsion (REP) Centaur Orbiter New Frontiers Mission
ISBN: 9781503248984 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Radioisotope Electric Propulsion (REP) has been shown in past studies to enable missions to outer planetary bodies including the orbiting of Centaur asteroids. Key to the feasibility for REP missions are long life, low power electric propulsion (EP) devices, low mass Radioisotope Power System (RPS) and light spacecraft (S/C) components. In order to determine the key parameters for EP devices to perform these REP missions a design study was completed to design an REP S/C to orbit a Centaur in a New Frontiers (NF) cost cap. The design shows that an orbiter using several long lived (approx. 200...
