Lateral directional stability and control characteristics of lightweight M2-F1 lifting body at low speeds
Lightweight external insulation system for liquid hydrogen stages of Saturn V vehicle
Solar cell submodules with bus bars that leave tabs along one end of the submodule and wires with raised portions along the other end are assembled by interlocking the tabs and wires of adjacent submodules. This structural design is lightweight and reliable and requires no metallic substructure.
Inflatable, lightweight cell provides a separate, secondary environment for a spacesuited man in case of spacesuit damage or malfunction. The cell has a pressure-sealing zipper and is equipped to maintain a livable atmosphere.
Lightweight flexible, metal braid reinforced hose assembly is used in high and low pressure oxygen, helium, and hydrogen systems. These hose assemblies have been successfully used on the Saturn-2 stage to provide joints of sufficient flexibility to absorb movement resulting from temperature variations.
Forming of optical lightweight solar concentrator on glass master - spray technique for resin substrate layers
Ceramic foam as lightweight thermal insulation for rigid heat shields in launch vehicles
Supersonic aerodynamic heating tests on external lightweight insulation system for liquid hydrogen tanks of boost vehicles
High performance, lightweight electrodes for hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells
Lightweight rigid photovoltaic solar panel
Lightweight external panel insulation systems for thermal protection of cryogenic launch vehicle propellant tanks
Stability and control characteristics at supersonic speeds of lightweight reentry glider with diamond-wing planform
Lightweight self-evacuating prefabricated multilayer insulation system for cryogenic space propulsion stages
Fabrication of lightweight turbine components for M-1 engine oxidizer turbopump using electron beam welding for attaching sheet metal blades to discs and shrouds
Lightweight flight prototype mercury ion engine system development and testing
Lightweight inflatable shadow shields for cryogenic space vehicles and performance in conjunction with superinsulation
Lightweight power-conditioning system for ion engines using energy-storage transformers for conversion, nondissipative regulation and protection
Large compound curved surfaces for collecting and concentrating radiation are fabricated by the use of several common machining and forming processes. Lightweight sectors are assembled into large reflectors. With this concept of fabrication, integrally stiffened reflective sectors up to 25 square feet in area have been produced.
