This paper presented a method for collecting and graphically correlating subjective ratings and objective flight test data. The method enables flight-simulation engineers to enhance the simulator characterization of rotor craft flight in order to achieve maximum transferability of simulator experience.
Flight Dynamics/Space Transportation System Three-Dimensional Monitor System (3-D Mon) is real-time graphical mission-monitoring software tool. Main objective to compute and display realistic three-dimensional solid model image of Space Shuttle, remote-manipulator system, payload, and surroundings from real-time Space Shuttle telemetry data. Ability to support spacecraft other than Space Shuttle also incorporated. Display shows almost any desired perspective. Written in C programming language.
Apparatus developed that generates high-flux pulses of oxygen atoms to bombard specimens in experiments on aging and degradation of materials in low Earth-orbit environment. Preliminary studies of specimens irradiated with atomic oxygen provided spectral evidence of erosion, in addition to measurable mass loss. Intense atomic oxygen pulses also useful in studies of microfabrication techniques.
