Florida's State Marine Research Moves Into The Space Age, Edwin A. Joyce

Space Congress® Proceedings

Florida's State Marine Research Laboratory, a part of the Florida Department of Natural Resources headed by Mr. Randolph Hodges, was founded in 1955 to do basic natural history biology on marine species of commercial and sports importance and to delve into the value and worth of the estuarine environment. The entire staff was composed of one technician, one biologist and a Director of Research, Mr. R. M. Ingle, who founded the Lab. The entire budget, excluding salaries, was $15,000 and the base of operations was a small building on the old Maritime Base at Bayboro Harbor in St. Petersburg, Florida. …

Military Space Communications, George A. Harter

Space Congress® Proceedings

A worldwide network of military communication satellites is now being deployed to function both as a long-haul strategic trunking system and as a system capable of supporting contingency operations. Another network is under development to handle voice and teletype messages between users with small mobile terminals. Other more specialized satellite systems are well along in the planning stage. This paper describes the evolving deployment and utilization of satellite-based systems and anticipates the trend in future operational capability.

Artificial Reefs And Coastal Fishery Resources, Richard B. Stone

Space Congress® Proceedings

Fishes congregate around coral reefs, rock outcrops and other areas with irregular, hard bottom. These areas provide shelter, food, orientation, and spawning grounds for fishes and are vital to the existance of encrusting organisms. However, much of the continental shelf area off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States is relatively barren.

Studies by National Marine Fisheries Service biologists from the Atlantic Estuarine Fisheries Center, Beaufort, North Carolina, on reefs off New Jersey, South Carolina and Florida have demonstrated that artificial reefs effectively provide additional food and cover for fishes . Artificial reefs have a great potential as …

The Modular Space Lab -Results Of A European Phase A Study, H. Tolle, A. Tegtmeier, W. Wienss

Space Congress® Proceedings

The paper deals with the results of a study on a Sortie Lab/Pallet system as possible outfit for the Space Shuttle. The work has been performed by a European team under the Prime Contractorship of ERNO, Bremen, for the European Space Research Organisation (ESRO). After a short introduction on the overall situation, the paper discusses the study basis, the concept selection and some details of the selected design. Finally advantages and disadvantages of the concept are summarized and some remarks on the current situation made.

Bio-Medical Electrical Disconnects, Walter E. Parsons

Space Congress® Proceedings

Since the earliest periods of recorded history, the goodness that is man has led him to dream of, and to seek solutions for restoring life and usefulness to debilitated and paralyzed muscles. Recent technological advances in the development of bio-compatible substances, low cost, high reliability disconnects, neuroelectric stimulation devices, and neurosurgical techniques have brought this age-old dream within the grasp of contemporary researchers.

Improvements in medical care during the last two decades have resulted in the survival of an ever-increasing group of patients with severe neuro-muscular disabilities who otherwise would have succumbed to their diseases or injuries. This has created …

Flat Conductor Cable Systems: Originally Developed For Space Flight, Useful For Commercial Applications, Wilhelm Angele

Space Congress® Proceedings

Flat Conductor Cable (FCC) technology has now reached a level of development where it is being considered for, and used in, numerous interconnection projects. First developed for aerospace use, FCC is becoming a major contender for commercial wiring tasks as well. This presentation is designed to show why and how FCC has been able to make the transition from the aerospace to the commercial field.

The Skylab Student Project, Henry B. Floyd

Space Congress® Proceedings

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Teachers' Association (NSTA) undertook in 1971 a cooperative effort which brought high school students of the Nation into the mainstream of Skylab research through the Skylab Student Project. This paper presents the background, objectives and scope of the project, experiment selection procedures, as well as experiment descriptions and status. The paper includes observations on student caliber and inclinations and implications of some developments for the benefit of future researchers.

Management Systems For Operational Processing Of Launch Vehicles, Anthony G. Mackey

Space Congress® Proceedings

This paper summarizes the status of management information systems with emphasis on applications to planning and management of airline maintenance and refurbishment operations. Past approaches to management of launch operations are reviewed and analyzed for their applicability to the Space Shuttle era. Factors affecting the selection of a management information system for the Shuttle will be analyzed and discussed.

An Optimum Organizational Structure For A Large Earth-Orbiting Multidisciplinary Space Base, James M. Ragusa

Space Congress® Proceedings

The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify an optimum hypothetical organizational structure for a large earth-orbiting multidisciplinary research and applications (R&A) Space Base manned by a mixed crew of technologists. Since such a facility does not presently exist, in. situ empirical testing was not possible. Study activity was, therefore, concerned with the identification of a desired organizational structural model rather than the empirical testing of it. The essential finding of this research was that a four-level project type "total matrix" model will optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of Space Base technologists.

Airborne Computer Technology, W. T. Chow

Space Congress® Proceedings

It discusses the changes that are taking place in the areas of hardware, software and computer organization; and suggests a number of approaches towards a broadened usage of airborne computer to take advantage of its increasing capability and decreasing cost.

A Concept For Space Shuttle Payload Ground Operations, Gene Mccoy

Space Congress® Proceedings

A Space Transportation System that involves the reusable Space Shuttle offers mankind's next great frontier. The country and the NASA must approach this potential opportunity with an open mind for new ideas and concepts in operations management, business principles, and sensitivity to cost.

Our long term future in this new frontier will depend as much on our success in these areas as on our technological successes.

This paper attempts to provide, for people with a working understanding of current ground operations, some examples of these evolving concepts.

The Space Shuttle Main Engine And Its Maintenance Features, V. J. Wheelock

Space Congress® Proceedings

The Space Shuttle Main Engine* (SSME) is a reusable, high-performance rocket engine being developed to satisfy the performance, life, reliability, and operational requirements of the Space Shuttle Qrbi- ter.

Lightening Protection Of Launch Facilities At Kennedy Space Center, F. A. Fisher

Space Congress® Proceedings

The location of the Apollo Launch Complex in a region of high lightning incidence necessitated that protective measures be incorporated in the design of the complex and its associated control facilities to prevent damage or interference with launch operations. Hazards to personnel, fuel and electrical or electronics systems were of particular concern. General Electric's High Voltage Laboratory, under contract to NASA, designed protective measures which were incorporated in the complex. These included control of lightning attachment points on the complex and provision of safe conduction paths to ground, control of lightning- induced voltages in umbilical systems by application of shielding …

Skylab Checkout Operations, Kenneth P. Timmons

Space Congress® Proceedings

The Skylab Program at Kennedy Space Center presented many opportunities for interesting and profound test and checkout experience. It also offered a compilation of challenges and promises for the Center and for the contractors responsible for the various modules making up Skylab. It is very probable that the various contractors had common experiences during the module and combined systems tests, but this paper will discuss those experiences from the viewpoint of the Multiple Docking Adapter contractor. The experience will consider personnel, procedures, and hardware.
