Prototype and Metrics for Data Processing Chain Components of IPM

This presentation lays out the evolution of the Intelligent Payload Module (IPM) vision given that the HyspIRI mission has been delayed. It shows that there has been a focus on airborne vehcile and unmanned aerial systems to further develop the IPM functionality. This of course does not preclude use of the IPM for space missions but provides alternate paths to continue the concept of improved onboard processing for low latency users of science data products.

Virtex-5 CN Package Daisy Chain Evaluation Test Report

The board-level temperature cycling reliability of Xilinx Virtex-5 (V5) CN package was investigated. V5s were temperature cycled under two conditions, 0 to +100 C (0/100) and -55 to +100 C (-55/100). During the 0/100 test, no part out of 8 parts failed up to 6586 cycles. During the -55/100 test, one part out of 8 parts failed at 1236 cycle, and there were no additional failures up to 1705 cycles. The failure mode of the part that failed at 1236 cycles indicated that most likely the failure was not a solder fatigue failure, and therefore no obvious solder fatigue failure was observed throughout the tests.

Space Cold Chain: From Ground to the International Space Station and Back

Johnson Space Center uses a specialized Cold Box (Space Cooler) to keep items cool for delivery to and from the International Space Station. The Space Cooler is constructed out of several vacuum panels with aerogel cores. These panels are designed and constructed into a box shape for cold stowage purposes. The Space Cooler is optionally packed with cold bricks (phase-change material) as shown in the figure. This Space Cooler needs to perform without active refrigeration (passive only).

The GeoGLOWS Project: Essential Water Variables and Observations – Expected Value Chain, Products, Examples

Essential Water Variables (EWV) were developed over the last decade to ensure that key datasets were made available for closing the global water budget, and addressing the many international actions that require water data. Satellite, surface, and numerical model data all have a role in providing EWVs, and it is a key point that these data must be merged and then fed into decision support applications to answer all the needs of the panoply of user communities. The more specialized the applications become, the higher the demand for development and maintenance resources. Some examples of applications include the NASA Goddard Giovanni, which provides on-line data access and simple analysis; the Global Flood Monitor, which focuses on precipitation-driven flooding; the NASA Landslide Hazard Assessment for Situational Awareness, which similarly treats landslides; and the Global Streamflow Forecasting Project, which provides multiple decision support interfaces, as well as a general toolkit for building new interfaces.
