Computer programming for control of complex data processing operations involved in analysis and interpretation of large volumes of sensor data from scientific satellites
Computer programs find the direct view factor from one surface segment to another using the Monte carlo technique, and the radioactive-transfer coefficients between surface segments. An advantage of the programs is the great generality of problems treatable and rapidity of solution from problem conception to receipt of results.
Computer program, SPAN-C, measures the dry heat thermal sterilization process applied to a planetary capsule and calculates the time required for heat application, steady state conditions, and cooling. The program is based on the logarithmic survival of micro-organisms. Temperature profiles must be input on cards.
Computer program, SPAN, measures the dry heat thermal sterilization process applied to a planetary capsule and calculates the time required for heat application, steady state conditions, and cooling. The program is based on the logarithmic survival of micro-organisms. Temperature profiles must be input on tape.
Computer program LABCON controls the budget system in a component test laboratory whose workload is made up from many individual budget allocations. A common denominator is applied to an incoming job, to which all effort is charged and accounted for.
Computer program solves transient or steady-state heat flow problems through the concept of lumped parameters expressed as the electrical analog of the heat transfer problem using finite differences techniques.
Computer program for studying point-to-point nonintegrated heliocentric conic section trajectories
Computer program for parametric analysis of systems of nonlinear functions
Computer programs for determining neutron lifetime, effective delayed neutron fraction, and reactivity contributions
Computer program based on Monte Carlo method for calculating transport of electrons and photons through matter
Computer program calculates trajectories of orbiting spacecraft and lander vehicles simultaneously. Using data from both vehicles, program calculates communications geometry which consists of orbiting spacecraft cone/clock angle, lander cone/clock angle, range, range rate and acceleration, and fade, reflective, and system margins.
Computer program, 2DSCAT, solves integral equation for currents induced by electric or magnetic plane wave incident upon one or more conducting cylinders. Subroutine, FIELD, assumes that an incident wave is perpendicular to the cylindrical surface. Restrictions on this program are given.
Computer program solves integral equation for currents induced by electric or magnetic plane wave incident upon one or more conducting cylinders with a midplane of symmetry. Program utilizes symmetry of the geometry. Restrictions on the program are given.
Computer program provides capability for analyzing accelerometer data obtained from impulsive testing of large antennas, and of determining from that data pertinent characteristics /amplitude, frequency, damping/ of the structural modes excited by the impulse.
Computer program, RAVFAC, calculates diffuse radiation view factors, using contour integrals. Technique is combined with finite difference /double summation/ technique to compose total program package.
Computer program generates and verifies operational launch vehicle targeting presettings for lunar free-return missions and lunar landing missions. Program is applicable in astronomy and nuclear physics, and in areas where improved targeting techniques are valuable.
Computer program calculates spacecraft battery energy at specific times dictated by input sequence of recharge, discharge, and no activity phases. Recharge phases are assumed during times not specified, unless batteries are fully charged. Warnings are printed when energy falls below specified level. Program assumes two identical batteries.
