The advanced technology laboratory

The Advanced Technology Laboratory (ATL) utilizes the Space Shuttle and the European Spacelab and is intended for advanced space technology. The evolution of the ATL concept is outlined along with its current status. Spacelab payload point design studies are reviewed as related to objective; physical layout; mission analysis; pointing accuracy; attitude management and fuel consumption; controls, displays, and data management; and thermal control. These studies aim at increasing the knowledge of the best techniques for integration and operation of payloads in the Spacelab and the Shuttle. ATL presents a dynamic new research potential, capable of accomodating 8 to 15 experiments per mission.

A methodology for boost-glide transport technology planning

A systematic procedure is presented by which the relative economic value of technology factors affecting design, configuration, and operation of boost-glide transport can be evaluated. Use of the methodology results in identification of first-order economic gains potentially achievable by projected advances in each of the definable, hypersonic technologies. Starting with a baseline vehicle, the formulas, procedures and forms which are integral parts of this methodology are developed. A demonstration of the methodology is presented for one specific boost-glide system.

A methodology for hypersonic transport technology planning

A systematic procedure by which the relative economic value of technology factors affecting design, configuration, and operation of a hypersonic cruise transport can be evaluated is discussed. Use of the methodology results in identification of first-order economic gains potentially achievable by projected advances in each of the definable, hypersonic technologies. Starting with a baseline vehicle, the formulas, procedures and forms which are integral parts of this methodology are developed. A demonstration of the methodology is presented for one specific hypersonic vehicle system.
