|
0800
- 1000 hrs
|
Palm A
|
|
The future of space exploration was reinvigorated in January when President Bush outlined his new space initiative of going back to the moon and beyond. Defining how to effectively and affordably meet the goal of going beyond low-Earth orbit has become a hot topic. Join some of the experts from the US and Europe as they offer their views of the future of human space exploration to our moon and our neighbor Mars. Flight International Editor Graham Warwick will moderate this session.
Panelists:
Pete Aldridge, Aldridge Report on the Future of Space Exploration (invited)
Gary Martin, NASA, Chief Architect for Space Exploration
Marco Caporicci, ESA, Head of Human Transportation and Re-entry Division
Charlie Precourt, NASA, Deputy Program Manager, International Space Station

Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) Panel Session
|
0800
- 1200 hrs
|
Palm B
|
|
This panel session will provide an overview of the Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) Program and its uses for aeronautics and space transportation applications. The NPSS vision is to develop an advanced engineering analysis system that enables high-fidelity, multi-disciplinary, full propulsion system simulations to be performed early in the design process. Managers & engineers from the NASA Glenn Research Center, industry and academia will describe NPSS and specific contributions & applications to air breathing & rocket engines. NPSS will be placed in the context of propulsion systems modeling and future hopes & plans will be outlined. |

Humans Beyond Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) - Propulsion Needs and Capabilities
|
1000
- 1200 hrs
|
Palm A
|
|
The ability to reach beyond low-Earth orbit hinges on the right propulsion to reach Low Earth Orbit and to propel us beyond. Some of the world’s leading government and industry experts in this area will be on hand to discuss the needs and capabilities for future propulsion to meet this far-reaching goal. Aviation Week & Space Technology Senior Editor Craig Covault will facilitate the discussion and lead a question and answer portion.

hrs

|
|
In order to maintain the strong role of the academic community in far-reaching technology programs, NASA has implemented, and DoD is co-funding, a number of University Research Engineering and Technology Institutes (URETIs). The goal of these institutes is to strengthen the government's ties to the academic community through long-term sustained investment in areas of innovative and long-range technology critical to the nation's future. At the same time the URETIs are expanding the nation's talent base for research and development. One of the two general URETI areas is Aeronautic and Aerospace Propulsion. Within this area are institutes conducting research in Third Generation Reusable Launch Vehicles and Aeropropulsion and Power. The Aeropropulsion and Power topic covers within-atmosphere propulsion applications of cruise vehicles up to Mach 6 whereas the Third Generation Reusable Launch Vehicle topic covers access-to-space applications of accelerator vehicles reaching Mach 4 and higher. This session will highlight key research accomplishments in these URETI topic areas. |

Hear the Apollo Propulsion development stories from the people that actually worked the numerous propulsion systems that put men on the moon and returned them safely to earth. Each propulsion expert will provide an overview of the development of the propulsion system he worked on. Following these presentations will be an open question and answer session. Don't miss this unique opportunity to listen to and talk with some of the Apollo program propulsion experts.
F-1 Booster Engine - Robert Biggs, Rocketdyne
J-2 Saturn V Second and Third Stage Engine - Paul Coffman, Rocketdyne
Attitude Control Engines - Carl Stechman, Marquardt (Aerojet Redmond Operations)
SE-7 (S-IVB Stage APS Ullage Control) & SE-8 (Apollo Command Module RCS) Engines - Tim Harmon, Rocketdyne
AJ10-137 Apollo Service Module Engine - Clay Boyce, Aerojet (retired)
Lunar Descent Engine - Jerry Elverum, TRW (retired)
Lunar Ascent Engine - Tim Harmon, Rocketdyne
Each presenter had direct participation and responsibility with engine development and implementation and will share some of the learning experiences of the program. Following the individual presentations all participants will provide a forum for audience questions. No formal written papers will be presented, however, copies of the visual materials will be available post conference from the AIAA Liquid Propulsion Technical Committee. |
