The Proposed NASA Pyroshock Test Criteria Standard - Part I

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has traditionally left the task of specifying design and test criteria to each of the several NASA Centers. Faced with the wide variety fo resulting criteria used for resolving similar or identical problems, the NASA Office of Chief Engineer initiated a program to develop consistent NASA-wide standards if the various NASA Centers could agree to a set of common requirements.

Handbook for Dynamic Data Acquisition and Analysis - IES Recommended Practices 012.1

The original motivation for this Handbook came from personnel of The Aerospace Corporation (TAC), who are technical advisors to the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. Over the preceding two decades, TAC has observed a seemingly endless series of errors and anomalies in the acquisition and analysis of structural dynamic and aeroacoustic data.

Summary of Cassini Acoustic Criteria Development Using Titan IV Flight Data

The Cassini spacecraft is being developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for theNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to orbit and explore the planet Saturn, itsrings and satellites. Cassini will be launched on a Titan IV and boosted out of earth orbit by aCentaur. This paper discusses the development of Cassini acoustic criteria using Titan IV flight data. The Titan IV flight acoustic measurements and the different flight data processing techniquesemployed by Martin Marietta and The Aerospace Corporation are described in Reference 1, as wellasthe methods employed by JPL for identifying and correcting for instrumentation system transients.
