New aerospace medicine program takes off.

Nonlinear Dynamic Modeling and Hysteresis Analysis of Aerospace Hydro - dynamical Control Valves

A new procedure for deriving nonlinear mathematical modeling for a specific class of aerospace hydro - mechanical control valves is presented. The effects of friction on the dynamic behavior of these types of valves along with the experimental verifictions are also given. The modeling approach is based on the combination of the following three tasks: decomposition of the valve into simple speci...

Selection and maintenance program for astronauts for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

O V E R the past ten years, ,through the stimulation of the U. S. Air Force Research and Development Command,]" the Lovelace Foundation has developed a program of special examination and evaluation procedures for determination of the state of the physical, mental, and social well-being of preselected and highly experienced test pilots. Far more than the absence of disease has been determined. T...

Adaptable and Autonomic Management System for Dependable Aerospace Computing

1-As NASA and other agencies continue to undertake ever challenging remote sensing missions, the ability of satellites and space probes to diagnose and autonomously recover from faults will be paramount. In addition, a more pronounced use of radiation-susceptible components in order to reduce cost makes the challenge of ensuring system dependability even more difficult. To meet these and other ...
