Consolidated laser-induced fluorescence diagnostic systems for the NASA Ames arc jet facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spectroscopic diagnostic technique of two photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) of atomic species for non-intrusive arc jet flow property measurement was first implemented at NASA Ames in the mid-1990s. In 2013-2014, NASA combined the agency’s large-scale arc jet test capabilities at NASA Ames. Concurrent with that effort, the agency also sponsored a project to establish two comprehensive LIF diagnostic systems for the Aerodynamic Heating Facility (AHF) and Interaction Heating Facility (IHF) arc jets. The scope of the project enabled further engineering development of the existing IHF LIF system as well as the complete reconstruction of the AHF LIF system. The updated LIF systems are identical in design and capability. They represent the culmination of over 20 years of development experience in transitioning a specialized laboratory research tool into a measurement system for large-scale, high-demand test facilities. This paper will document the latest improvements of the LIF system design and demonstrations of the redeveloped AHF and IHF LIF systems.

Many mission operations systems and tools have been developed over the past decades as NASA has operated the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Space Shuttle, and International Space Station. Usually there is little cross-fertilization between the unmanned mission operations systems and those used for manned spaceflight. NASA Ames Research Center has been developing and applying its advanced intellig...
