Optical Fiber Assemblies for Space Flight from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Photonics Group
The Photonics Group at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in the Electrical Engineering Division of the Advanced Engineering and Technologies Directorate has been involved in the design, development, characterization, qualification, manufacturing, integration and anomaly analysis of optical fiber subsystems for over a decade. The group supports a variety of instrumentation across NASA and outside...
متن کاملAlignment of Aspheric Optical Surfaces at Goddard Space Flight Center
Aspheric optical surfaces are becoming common in optical design. Fabrication efforts have improved, costs have reduced, and aspheres allow a designer to control more degrees of freedom using fewer surfaces. However, testing and alignment of aspheric surfaces is considerably more difficult than that of spherical surfaces. Testing requires expensive null lenses, and alignment requires numerous da...
متن کاملReliability of Optical Fiber Modulators for Space Flight Environments
Optical fiber modulators are of great interest to space flight projects for communications and LIDAR applications. Due to the harsh environments and long duration for most missions, space flight applications have a unique set of demands for photonics parts. This study focuses on the reliability of commercially available optical fiber modulators for space flight environments. General failures mo...
متن کاملTechnology validation of optical fiber cables for space flight environments
Periodically, commercially available (commercial off the shelf, COTS) optical fiber cable assemblies are characterized for space flight usage under the NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging Program (NEPP). The purpose of this is to provide a family of optical fiber cable options to a variety of different harsh environments typical to space flight missions. The optical fiber cables under test are ...
متن کاملMagnesium and Space Flight
Magnesium is an essential nutrient for muscle, cardiovascular, and bone health on Earth, and during space flight. We sought to evaluate magnesium status in 43 astronauts (34 male, 9 female; 47 ± 5 years old, mean ± SD) before, during, and after 4-6-month space missions. We also studied individuals participating in a ground analog of space flight (head-down-tilt bed rest; n = 27 (17 male, 10 fem...
