Addendum report to atmospheric science facility pallet-only mode space transportation system payload feasibility study, volume 3, revision A

The feasibility of accomplishing selected atmospheric science mission using a pallet-only mode was studied. Certain unresolved issues were identified. The first issue was that of assuring that the on-board computer facility was adequate to process scientific data, control subsystems such as instrument pointing, provide mission operational program capability, and accomplish display and control. The second issue evolved from an investigation of the availability of existing substitute instruments that could be used instead of the prime instrumentation where the development tests and schedules are incompatible with the realistic budgets and shuttle vehicle schedules. Some effort was expended on identifying candidate substitute instruments, and the performance, cost, and development schedule trade-offs found during that effort were significant enough to warrant a follow-on investigation. This addendum documents the results of that follow-on effort, as it applies to the Atmospheric Sciences Facility.

Space Shuttle payload bay acoustics prediction study. Volume 3A: Addendum to computer users' manual

Since the publication of the Computer User's Manual for Payload Acoustics Environment for Shuttle (PACES), the analytical model was validated by means of measured data from the first three shuttle lift-offs. During the validation process, new information became available and five changes were made to the input data and the computer program. Three changes affect the user. They are: a revision to the recommended exterior sound pressure levels, a revision to the recommended payload bay acoustic absorption coefficients, and a revision to the vertical station datum for the payload bay. The two other changes do not involve the user. The changes are associated with the output of confidence limits for the predicted space-average sound pressure levels in the payload bay, and a modification to the analytical representation of the payload bay door. The changes are discussed briefly in this Addendum to the Computer User's Manual.

Lubricant jet flow phenomena in spur and helical gears with modified center distances and/or addendums for out-of-mesh conditions

Out-of-mesh jet lubrication of gears was examined. The pinion impingement cycle was described briefly. An analysis was developed for the lubricant jet flow in the out-of-mesh condition. The analysis provides for the inclusion of modified center distances and modified addendums. Equations were generated for the limit values of variables necessary to remove the severe limitations to facilitate computer analysis. A computer program was designed using these limit formulas to prevent negative impingement (missing) on the pinion.

Communication Platform Payload Definition (CPPD) study. Volume 3: Addendum

This is Volume 3 (Addendum) of the Ford Aerospace & Communications Corporation Final Report for the Communication Platform Payload Definition (CPPD) Study Program conducted for NASA Lewis Research Center under contract No. NAS3-24235. This report presents the results of the study effort leading to five potential platform payloads to service CONUS and WARC Region 2 traffic demand as projected to the year 2008. The report addresses establishing the data bases, developing service aggregation scenarios, selecting and developing 5 payload concepts, performing detailed definition of the 5 payloads, costing them, identifying critical technology, and finally comparing the payloads with each other and also with non-aggregated equivalent services.

Design and fabrication of the NASA decoupler pylon for the F-16 aircraft, addendum 1

The results of the final analyses which were conducted using a revised structural simulation of the Decoupler Pylon are reported in this addendum. The simulation incorporates the previously published results of ground tests performed on the flight Decoupler Pylons mounted in a test fixture at General Dynamic's Fort Worth facility. The analyses show that the Decoupler Pylon will suppress wing-store flutter for the GBU-8 flight test stores configuration on an F-16 airplane. The feasibility of carrying a B-61 on the pylons is also investigated with the conclusion that the pylons would need to be modified in order to demonstrate flutter suppression. The results of a ground vibration test performed on the 1/4 scale F-16 flutter model and a wind tunnel test with this model and a model Decoupler Pylon are given.

Revolutionary opportunities for materials and structures study, addendum

This report is an addendum to the Revolutionary Opportunities for Materials and Structures Study (ROMS), modifying the original by the addition of two tasks. The primary purpose of these tasks was to conduct additional aircraft/engine sizing and mission analysis to obtain contributory aircraft performance data such as fuel burns and direct operating costs for both the subsonic and supersonic engines.

NASA satellite communications application research, phase 2 addendum. Efficient high power, solid state amplifier for EHF communications

This document is an addendum to the NASA Satellite Communications Application Research (SCAR) Phase 2 Final Report, 'Efficient High Power, Solid State Amplifier for EHF Communications.' This report describes the work performed from 1 August 1993 to 11 March 1994, under contract number NASW-4513. During this reporting period an array of transistor amplifiers was repaired by replacing all MMIC amplifier chips. The amplifier array was then tested using three different feedhorn configurations. Descriptions, procedures, and results of this testing are presented in this report, and conclusions are drawn based on the test results obtained.

Addendum to Gamma-Ray Astrophysics: New Insight Into the Universe Second Edition (RP1386 - October 1997)

We have been encouraged by the positive reactions that we have received to the second edition of the publication Gamma-Ray Astrophysics, New Insight into the Universe, and therefore, wish to make a few additions. In this addendum there are three small parts: A. Comments on New Findings since October 1997, B. Figures, and C. Corrections. In part B, some of the figures that were in the book have been reproduced here in larger form so that they are easier to read. In part C, the corrections that have come to our attention since the original publication are included.

Addendum to Air Quality: Decision Support Tools, Partner Plans, Working Groups, Committees

In the original report dated February 11, 2005, the utility of NASA Earth science data in the air quality activities of other agencies and organizations was assessed by reviewing strategic and mission plans and by conducting personal interviews with agency experts to identify and investigate agencies with the potential for partnership with NASA. The overarching agency strategic plans were reviewed and commonalities such as the desire for partnerships and technology development were noted. This addendum to the original report contains such information about the Tennessee Valley Authority and will be inserted as Section 2.6 of "Air Quality: Decision Support Tools, Partner Plans, Working Groups, Committees."

Addendum to "Impressed Sources and Fields in the Volume-Integral-Equation Formulation of Electromagnetic Scattering by a Finite Object: A Tutorial"

Our recent tutorial referred to in the title has summarized a general theoretical formalism of electromagnetic scattering by an arbitrary finite object in the presence of arbitrarily distributed impressed currents. This addendum builds on the tutorial to provide a streamlined discussion of specific far-field limits and the corresponding reciprocity relations by introducing appropriate far-field operators and linear maps and deriving the reciprocity relations through the pseudo adjoint of these maps. We thereby extend the compact operator calculus used previously to consider the fields and sources near or inside the scattering object.
