Scheduling Improvements Following the Phase 1 Field Evaluation of the ATD-2 Integrated Arrival, Departure, and Surface Concept

NASA is conducting the Airspace Technology Demonstration-2 to evaluate an Integrated Arrival, Departure, and Surface (IADS) traffic management system that extends traffic sequencing for the entire life-cycle of a flight from departure gate to arrival gate within multi-airport, metroplex environments. After development and testing in human-in-the-loop simulations, the IADS system was deployed to Charlotte Douglas International Airport for a three-year field evaluation. From the initial IADS concept development through the end of the Phase 1 field evaluation many lessons were learned with regards to the IADS scheduler. In this paper we describe how data from the Phase 1 field evaluation helped identify scheduler improvements and guided the implementation of refinements. The improvements in the IADS scheduler described in this paper are incorporated into the IADS Phase 2 scheduler enabling strategic Surface Metering Programs and will be evaluated during the field evaluation.

Improving Operational Acceptability of Dynamic Weather Routes (DWR) Through Analysis of Commonly Used Routings

The Dynamic Weather Routes (DWR) tool is a ground-based trajectory automation system that continuously and automatically analyzes active in-flight aircraft in en route airspace to find simple modifications to flight plan routes that can save significant flying time, while avoiding weather and considering traffic conflicts, airspace sector congestion, special use airspace, and FAA routing restrictions. Trials of the DWR system have shown that significant delay savings are possible. However, some DWR advised routes are also rejected by dispatchers or modified before being accepted. Similarly, of those sent by dispatchers to flight crews as proposed route change requests, many are not accepted by air traffic control, or are modified before implementation as Center route amendments. Such actions suggest that the operational acceptability of DWR advised route corrections could be improved, which may reduce workload and increase delay savings. This paper analyzes the historical usage of different flight routings, varying from simple waypoint pairs to lengthy strings of waypoints incorporating jet routes, in order to improve DWR route acceptability. An approach is developed that can be incorporated into DWR, advising routings with high historical usage and savings potential similar to that of the nominal DWR advisory. It is hypothesized that modifying a nominal DWR routing to one that is commonly used, and nearby, will result in more actual savings since common routings are generally familiar and operationally acceptable to air traffic control. The approach allows routing segments with high historical usage to be concatenated to form routes that meet all DWR constraints. The relevance of a routes historical usage to its acceptance by dispatchers and air traffic control is quantified by analyzing historical DWR data. Results indicate that while historical usage may be less of a concern to flight dispatchers accepting or rejecting DWR advised route corrections, it may be important to air traffic control acceptance of DWR routes.

Improvements to On-Orbit Sleeping Accommodations

United States On-Orbit Segment (USOS) crew members aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are each furnished with a Crew Quarters that serves as their personal private space for the duration of their expedition. Within these quarters, crew members use sleeping bags to provide a comfortable environment that is conducive to sleeping in microgravity. Microgravity presents unique challenges to obtaining good sleep. Sleep position preferences which are influenced by gravity are disturbed when the feeling is absent while other environmental factors prevent the familiar feeling of lying in bed. NASA developed a new US Sleeping Bag for USOS crew members launching aboard United States Crewed Vehicles (USCVs), using this opportunity to improve upon the current sleeping bag design based on lessons learned from years of living and working in space. The US Sleeping Bag design was based on the current sleeping bag's design with enhancements to key features based on feedback from crew members and sleep study experts at the Johnson Space Center and the Ames Research Center. Key areas of improvement include facilitating thermal comfort in the warm Crew Quarters environment, ease of maintenance when replacing the inner lining, allowing for maximum versatility for adjustment to crew preference, and adding features for additional functionality such as accommodations for a pillow. Two US Sleeping Bags have flown aboard the ISS to date, utilized by veteran crew members who have experience with the existing sleeping bags and have provided feedback and comparisons for assessment. Enabling good sleep is essential for crew member health and productivity, especially in longer duration expeditions. This paper will detail the challenges with sleeping in microgravity and the enhancements made in development of the US Sleeping Bag to provide a better on-orbit sleep environment.

Low-Loss Microstrip Transmission Line Fabricated with Improved Liftoff Process

The µ-Spec integrated spectrometer operating at ~500 GHz, employs thin film superconducting Nb microstrip transmission lines deposited directly on a thin (450 nm) single-crystal silicon dielectric. This single-crystal silicon layer is chosen as the dielectric layer due to its low intrinsic loss, with the goal of achieving both high- efficiency and precise phase control in a compact spectrometer architecture. To avoid roughening or etching through the thin single-crystal silicon dielectric a liftoff technique was developed for patterning these microstrip transmission lines and ground plane structures. This two- layer liftoff process was designed for use with sputter deposition and resulted in a US patent. Although this original technique provided precise control of linewidth, results of initial prototype spectrometer devices and separate diagnostic co-planer waveguide resonator devices showed that unexpected loss was being introduced due to the lift-off process. This extra loss was believed to be due to the “tails” (thin tapered regions) at the edge of the metal traces resulting from the sputtering process, as well as an amorphous oxide layer at the Nb-Si interface. We have since demonstrated an improved lift-off technique, which provides a clean metal-Si interface and removes the loss-inducing tails by a two-step selective etching method. This results in a decrease in microwave loss by more than an order of magnitude when measured in co-planar waveguide microwave resonator structures. We present these microwave test results and also SEM and TEM images of the microstrip interfaces and edge profiles before and after application of the improved process.

Improved Earth Oblateness Rate Reveals Increased Ice Sheet Losses and Mass-Driven Sea Level Rise

Satellite laser ranging (SLR) observations are routinely applied toward the estimation of dynamic oblateness, C(sub 20), which is the largest globally integrated component of Earth's time-variable gravity field. Since 2002, GRACE and GRACE Follow-On have revolutionized the recovery of higher spatial resolution features of global time-variable gravity, with SLR continuing to provide the most reliable estimates of C (sub 20).We quantify the effect of various SLR processing strategies on estimating C(sub 20) and demonstrate better signal recovery with the inclusion of GRACE-derived low-degree gravity information in the forward model. This improved SLR product modifies the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheet mass trends by -15.4 and -3.5 Gt/year, respectively, as compared to CSR TN11, and improves global mean sea level budget closure by modifying sea level rise by +0.08 mm/year. We recommend that this new C(sub 20) product be applied to RL06 GRACE data products for enhanced accuracy and scientific interpretation.

The Value of Near Real-Time Earth Observations for Improved Flood Disaster Response

Information is a critical resource in disaster response scenarios. Data regarding the geographic extent, severity, and socioeconomic impacts of a disaster event can help guide emergency responders and relief operations, particularly when delivered within hours of data acquisition. Information from remote observations provides a valuable tool for assessing conditions "on the ground" more quickly and efficiently. Here, we evaluate the social value of a near real-time flood impact system using a disaster response case study, and quantify the Value of Information (VOI) of satellite-based observations for rapid response using a hypothetical flooding disaster in Bangkok, Thailand. MODIS imagery from NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) system is used to produce operational estimates of inundation depths and economic damages.These rapid Earth observations are coupled with a decision-analytical model to inform decisions on emergency vehicle routing. Emergency response times from vehicles routed using flood damage data are compared with baseline routes without the benefit of advance information on road conditions. Our results illustrate how the application of near real-time Earth observations can improve the response time and reduce potential encounters with flood hazards when compared with baseline routing strategies. Results indicate a potential significant economic benefit (i.e.,millions of dollars) from applying near real-time Earth observations for improved flood disaster response and management.

Helium Balloon Valve Improvement

The NASA Balloon Program Office (BPO), located at Wallops Flight Facility asked the Mechanical Systems Branch (Code 548) to improve the design of their balloon valve. BPO uses two main types of balloons, Zero Pressure Balloon (ZPB) and Super Pressure Balloon (SPB), which both use the valve. It is used for termination of the ZPB, and inflation and termination of the SPB. During launch campaigns the valve showed signs of helium leakage which lead the BPO to ask for an improvement. As part of a Professional Readiness Engineering Program (PREP), research and review of the current valve was conducted and a new design was prepared. The current custom designed valve consists of a "pie" plate that is actuated up and down via a gear rack that is driven by a globe motor. When closed the knife edge of the pie plate bites into a silicone gasket to seal the structure. Unfortunately, the gasket material permanently deforms after being compressed and the plate itself bends under the force induced by the motor, introducing two possible helium leak paths. The new custom designed valve utilizes o-rings instead of one gasket to reduce the possibility of leakage from permanent deformation. One o-ring seals the valve structure to its mating surface and a spring energized o-ring is used in a piston design to seal the valve once it's closed. The design also utilizes different materials to increase stiffness and strength so that it is less likely to bend under the force from the motor. Currently the new valve has finished the design and analysis phases and is proceeding towards manufacturing and testing.

Transitioning the NASA SLR Network to Event Timing Mode for Reduced Systematics, Improved Stability and Data Precision

NASA's legacy Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) network produces about one-third of the global SLR data to support spacegeodesy. This network of globally distributed stations has been using Time Interval Units (TIU) for range measurements for thelast 25 + years. To improve the reliability of the SLR network and satisfy the need for stable millimeter precision data, a phasedreplacement of the TIUs in the network with picosecond-precise Event Timer Modules was initiated in 2015. This schemeallowed the time of flight and laser transmit epoch measurement to one picosecond resolution. For a network with globalscientific impact, transitioning to a new data generation metrological scheme requires significant data scrutiny and long-termscience data validation. Any long-term testing/measurement has the potential to interrupt the station's daily operational dataflow to the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) as the station under test will have to put its test data into quarantine.We have demonstrated a very effective way to test and implement the new device without removing the old hardware andwithout the need for the orbit analysis. This operationally noninvasive scheme performed concurrent test measurements enablinguninterrupted operational data flow to the users, while allowing simultaneous test data capture for short- and long-termsystematics and stability analysis. Extensive analysis of the test data was performed by the NASA SLR engineering team andthe ILRS Analysis Standing Committee, to uncover biases and any dependencies on the satellite ranges (for nonlinear scaleissues). Multi-ETM comparison was also performed at two of the SLR stations through the interchange of hardware to establishthe inter-device range biases and stability. Such benchmarked hardware was subsequently sent to the remaining stationsto allow traceability and normalize the network performance. The range bias intercomparison performed using the multiyearSLR data analysis agreed well with the engineering changes, thus validating the approach to flush out station-specific rangingsystematics affecting precise orbit determination. Such an improvement and rebalancing of the current network will allowan orderly transition of the current NASA SLR network operating at a maximum rate of 10 Hz to the NASA next generationSpace Geodesy Satellite Laser Ranging (SGSLR) network operating at 2 kHz (McGarry et al. in J Geod, 2018. https ://doi.org/10.1007/s0019 0-018-1191-6; Merkowitz et al. in J Geod, 2018. https ://doi.org/10.1007/s0019 0-018-1204-5).

Star Tracker Accuracy Improvement and Optimization for Attitude Measurement in Three-Axis

High precision attitude measurement systems obviate the need for the beacon from the receiver making it possible for the spacecraft to beam a laser communications signal to a ground station without the ground station advertising its location. The research presented targets new detection and estimation methods to improve the accuracy in locating stars on a focal plane detector, and an understanding of the effects of changes in the optics design parameters and aberration, including defocus, on the navigation solution itself. This understanding can lead to an optimization of the attitude solution with respect to those optics realm parameter changes. The methodology discussed includes the development of a model of a current star tracker system. Using this model, multiple algorithms are implemented, including a multi-hypothesis method (MHT), to detect and estimate the position of the stars on the focal plane detector. It will be shown that using the MHT for detection and estimation, a greater accuracy can be found for each star estimation from more traditional detection and estimation algorithms. The approach then uses the model to develop statistics of the star tracker and the attitude estimation outputs to understand the accuracy, or variance, of the system's attitude solution. This solution is repeated for a range of defocus aberration, and a lower limit to the variance of the attitude solution is shown. A Cramer Rao lower bound solution is derived for the star tracker system and the results are compared to the Monte Carlo analysis from the model and shown to correlate very well. The approach uses a star image not as a Gaussian spot on the focal plane as done in previous work, and use of an image that includes the effects of aberrations of the optic system, and the effects of under-sampling and noise from the focal plane detector as well. Analysis includes exploring a star tracker's accuracy improvement through the combination of focus error and under-sampling effects alone, possibly contradicting conventional wisdom and approaches.

Assimilating All-Sky Microwave Radiance Data to Improve NASA GEOS Forecasts and Analysis

The NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) has been pursuing efforts to utilize all-sky (clear+cloudy+precipitating) MW radiance data and has developed a system to assimilate all-sky GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) radiance data in the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) during the last PMM funding period. The system provides additional constraints on the analysis process near the storm regions and adjusts the geophysical parameters such as precipitation, cloud, moisture, surface pressure, and wind by combining information from GMI radiance measurements and model forecasts in an optimal manner. The system proved that assimilating the GMI all-sky radiance data improve the GEOS atmospheric analyses and forecasts. This all-sky data framework has been included in the GEOS Forward Processing (FP) system since July 11, 2018 and assimilates all-sky GMI data in real-time for GEOS global analysis and forecast production at the GMAO. We are currently extending this all-sky GMI radiance data assimilation system to assimilate more all-sky MW radiance data from other sensors such as the Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS), the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS), the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS), Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2), and the Sounder for Atmospheric Profiling of Humidity in the Intertropics by Radiometery (SAPHIR) onboard the GPM constellation spacecrafts. Preliminary results from this extended all-sky system show increased benefit from cloud- and precipitation-affected MW radiances with much larger spatial and temporal coverages compared to the all-sky system assimilating GMI alone and improved GEOS forecast skills especially for lower tropospheric humidity fields.

Aerodynamic Characterization and Improved Testing Methods for the Space Launch System Liftoff and Transition Environment

Low-speed wind tunnel testing for the liftoff and transition environment of the Space Launch System (SLS) was recently completed in the NASA Langley Research Center 14- by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel using 1.75%-scale models of three SLS vehicle configurations. During the liftoff testing, the primary objective was to evaluate the aerodynamic forces and moments on the SLS launch vehicles, as the vehicle, launch tower, and mobile launch platform were subjected to ground winds from all directions at varying heights for the vehicle off the launch pad. Additionally, aerodynamic forces and moments were acquired for all three SLS vehicles during the transition phase from liftoff to ascent that covered a wide range of angles of attack and angles of side slip. Details of the experimental setup including improved testing methods and a stiffer sting-balance system based on lessons learned from previous test entries are presented. Also, a new force measurement technique was applied during the test where two subminiature six-component load cells were installed in each Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) to acquire forces and moments for each SRB separately from the full vehicle forces and moments measured by the main strain gauge balance. Finally, sample results from the experiment are presented including improved overall data coverage, evaluation of the new SRB data, and smoke flow visualization photos.

Improvements in Ionic Liquid Technology for Carbon Dioxide Removal Applications

Carbon dioxide removal from cabin air continues to be of vital importance for future space missions. Current and proposed approaches have employed solid sorbents, hollow fiber membrane separators, and direct liquid sorbent contactors. Recent developments in ionic liquids have potential to improve performance in all three of these technologies. Efficient encapsulation of ionic liquids by polymeric shell can enable their use in a solid sorbent-like configuration without significant integration intervention to the current space technology. Poly(ionic liquid)-ionic liquid membranes have the potential to cross over the Robeson selectivity-permeability upper bound, and thereby outperform traditional membranes used in hollow fibers. Advances in ionic liquid chemistry enables performance improvements in liquid sorbent contactors owing to the tunable gravimetric CO2 capacity, reaction enthalpy and liquid viscosity. This paper will describe recent work in each of these areas.

Improving Rain/No-Rain Detection Skill by Merging Precipitation Estimates from Different Sources

Rain/no-rain detection error is a key source of uncertainty in regional and global precipitation products that propagates into offline hydrological and land surface modeling simulations. Such detection error is difficult to evaluate and/or filter without access to high-quality reference precipitation datasets. For cases where such access is not available, this study proposes a novel approach for improved rain/no-rain detection. Based on categorical triple collocation (CTC) and a probabilistic framework, a weighted merging algorithm (CTC-M) is developed to combine noisy, but independent, precipitation products into an optimal binary rain/no-rain time series. Compared with commonly used approaches that directly apply the best parent product for rain/no-rain detection, the superiority of CTC-M is demonstrated analytically and numerically using spatially dense precipitation measurements over Europe. Our analysis also suggests that CTC-M is tolerant to a range of cross-correlated rain/no-rain detection errors and detection biases of the parent products. As a result, CTC-M will benefit global precipitation estimation by improving the representation of precipitation occurrence in gauge-based and multisource merged precipitation products.

BioNutrients-2: Improvements to the BioNutrients-1 Nutrient Production System

The BioNutrients (BN) project aims to develop an on-demand nutrient production system capable of rapid and safe delivery of multiple nutrients in a single-use production pack for long-duration missions. The general concept of this system will be to develop an edible engineered microorganism capable of surviving during long-term storage, revival and growth of that microorganism for product production, and delivery of precise quantities of nutrients for human consumption. BN-1 is a five-year flight project currently on the International Space Station (ISS). It is testing the long-term storage of various microorganisms for the biomanufacturing of space relevant compounds and to validate the performance of the first generation (Gen-1) of production packs. The BN-2 project is a continuation of the BN-1 flight project and intends to expand the projects overall scope by introducing novel products, broadening the range of microbial food sources, and improving previously designed hardware from the BN-1 project. We are in the process of optimizing our platform biomanufacturing technology for in situ production of yogurt and kefir on the ISS. BN-2 will test the efficacy of this technology for future delivery of probiotic organisms which can be engineered to produce additional nutritional supplements (consumption by the crew is not planned in this project). Furthermore, to improve the feasibility of this technology for mission use we have transitioned from a hard-shell pack to a Gen-2, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) bag. The single-use FEP bioreactor will facilitate growth of known organisms and ensure a contaminant free environment, while reducing mass and volume. These bioreactors will be employed for production of additional space relevant products in the BN-2 project. On-orbit testing of Gen-2 production packs will be necessary for future iterations, in order to optimize bag design and product production for eventual flight use by the crew.

Improved Prediction of Losses with Large Eddy Simulation in a Low-Pressure Turbine

There is a need to improve predictions of losses resulting from large eddy simulations (LES) of low-pressure turbines (LPT) in gas turbines. This may be done by assessing the accuracy of predictions against validation data and understanding the source of any inaccuracies. LES is a promising approach for capturing the laminar/turbulent transition process in a LPT. In previous studies, the authors utilized LES to model the flow field over a Variable Speed Power Turbine (VSPT) blade and successfully captured characteristic features of separation/reattachment and transition on the suction side at both the cruise (positive incidence) and take-off conditions (negative incidence) and as well, simulated the effect of freestream turbulence (FST) on those phenomena. The predicted pressure loading profiles agreed well with the experimental data for both a high and a low FST case at a Reynolds number of Reex=220,000. In this paper, we present wake profiles resulting from computations for a range of FST values. Although the predicted wake profiles for the lowest FST case (Tu=0.5%) matched the experimental data, at higher FST (Tu=10-15%,) the wake was wider than the experimentally measured wake and for both cases were displaced laterally when compared to the experimental measurements. In our investigation of the causes of the said discrepancies we have identified important effects which could strongly influence the predicted wake profile. Predicted losses were improved by assuring the validity of the flow solution. This was done by utilizing spectral analysis to scrutinize the dynamic behavior of the wake and determine solution accuracy resulting from low mesh density and low accuracy of convective modeling.

Improving Automated Strategies for Univariate Quantifier Elimination

This report discusses improved support for univariate quantifier elimination in the Prototype Verification System (PVS). Previously, PVS had three strategies for quantifier elimination—hutch, tarski, and sturm. Of these, only hutch is able to decide queries in any input format—sturm only works on queries regarding a single polynomial on an interval and tarski resolves queries in the universal existential fragment. This paper describes an extended version of tarski. The extension is accomplished by formally verifying a disjunctive normal form transformation in PVS and using tarski on each conjunctive clause. Additionally, a preprocessing step is added to the decision procedure underlying tarski. This preprocessing is designed to exploit properties of polynomial structure to quickly resolve queries that have certain formats. The preprocessing produces dramatic speedup when it succeeds in resolving a query, and seems to introduce negligible overhead when it does not resolve a query. Finally, testing reveals some ways to improve the hutch and tarski strategies.

Identifying Chemical and Optical Smoke Signatures in Suborbital Observations to Improve Model Projections

Biomass Burning (BB) fires are expected to occur more frequently in the future due to climate change, the build‐up of fuels due to fire suppression, and the expansion of the wildland‐urban interface [Schoennagel et al., 2017; Shivdenko & Schepaschenko, 2013; Stevens et al., 2014; Turner et al., 2019; Yue et al., 2015; Tilman et al., 2001]. Accurate knowledge of the abundance, distribution, and optical properties of absorbing aerosols such as BB smoke is essential to understanding regional and global aerosol radiative effects [Boucher et al., 2013]. It is recognized that differing fuel types (e.g., rice straw, ponderosa pine), combustion modes (i.e., flaming, smoldering or both) and temperature/ moisture content produce smoke with differing optical characteristics (e.g., aerosol light scattering and absorption) and component mixing ratios [e.g., BC, OC and inorganic species such as sulfate, potassium, chloride; Streets et al. 2003; Reid et al., 2005a, b; Janhäll et al., 2010; Sayer et al., 2014]. However, climate models often ascribe a fixed set of emission factors [i.e., amount of particulate for a given species released in the atmosphere per unit dry fuel burned; Darmenov and Dasilva, 2013] and optical properties [Hess et al., 1998] to all BB aerosol plumes, inherently limiting accurate representation of the global and regional heterogeneity of BB. The overarching goal of the proposed work is to improve the microphysical and optical representation of different types of Biomass Burning in Chemistry Transport Models. Our strategy is to capitalize on multiple airborne campaigns (e.g., ARCTAS, SEAC4RS, ORACLES, FIREX-AQ), which sampled different types of BB plumes at different aging stages. Models, when improved and combined with satellite, airborne, and ground observations will help address many aerosol science objectives from the NASA Decadal survey [National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2018].
