NASA-LLIS-1715
Abstract: Abstract:
Formal documentation of requirements, resolutions, and decisions was once a standard NASA practice. However, the increased use of informal documentation such as viewgraphs and e-mail may be ...Subject(s) : Additional Categories. , Additional Categories.Configuration Management , Additional Categories.Flight Equipment , Additional Categories.Hardware , Additional Categories.Payloads , Additional Categories.Spacecraft , Engineering Design (Phase C/D). , Engineering Design (Phase C/D).Spacecraft and Spacecraft Instruments , Missions and Systems Requirements Definition. , Missions and Systems Requirements Definition.Configuration control and data management , Program Management. , Program Management.Configuration and data management , Safety and Mission Assurance. , Safety and Mission Assurance.Review systems and boards , -
NASA-LLIS-1485
Abstract: Abstract:
NASA elected at the end of MER Phase A to build a second Mars Exploration Rover at an estimated cost of $243 million. In addition to potentially doubling science return from Mars and mitigating ...Subject(s) : Flight Equipment , flight spares , Hardware , integration and test , Policy & Planning , Program and Project Management , Risk Management/Assessment , schedule constraints , schedule margin , Spacecraft , system testbed , Test & Verification , Test Article , test bed , -
NASA-LLIS-0759
Abstract: Practice:
Critical design features that reduce joint rotation, improve seal features, provide close tolerances, provide for leak checks, and provide venting are used to improve the reliability of ... -
NASA-LLIS-1859
Abstract: Abstract:
NASA subject experts can speed negotiating contract specifications because they know what is and is not the state-of-the-art. They can avoid including requirements that would delay delivery ...Subject(s) : Systems Engineering and Analysis. , Systems Engineering and Analysis.Level II/III requirements definition , -
NACA-TR-648
Abstract: Equations and design charts are given for predicting the downwash angles and the wake characteristics for power-off conditions behind plain and flapped wings of the types used in modern design practice. The downwash charts ...Subject(s) : AERODYNAMIC , ANALYSIS , ANGLES , ASPECT , CHARTS , DESIGN , DISTRIBUTION , DOWNWASH , DRAG , ELLIPTICITY , FLAPS , FORCES , GEOMETRY , LIFT , LOAD , PREDICTION , PRESSURE , RATIO , SPAN , SWEPT , TECHNIQUES , WAKES , WING , WINGS , -
NACA-CB-L5C01
Abstract: A method is given for calculating the stick-fixed neutral point of an airplane with propeller windmilling, flaps neutral, and landing gear retracted. This method differs from those formerly used principally in the procedure ... -

NASA-HDBK-5010
Abstract: PURPOSE
Fracture control is implemented to significantly reduce the risk of a catastrophic failure for a prescribed service period due to propagation of undetected pre-existing crack-like defects (flaws). (NOTE: If ... -
NASA-LLIS-0289
Abstract: Abstract:
Although shuttle astronauts observed Magellan solar panel deployment, a microswitch failed to provide a "panels-latched" indication. Ensure that telemetry transducers measure the desired ...Subject(s) : Flight Equipment , Safety & Mission Assurance , Spacecraft , -
NASA-LLIS-1325
Abstract: Description of Driving Event:
