Demo Title:Model-Based Engineering for Rapid Concept Development (Comet)
Demo Instructor: Malcolm Panthaki (Comet Solutions, Inc.)
Demo Description: 
The long desired goal of simulation-driven design has been to enable engineering analysts to focus on achieving the product's functional requirements early on in the product concept development phase. By putting simulation users in control of the "engineering geometry" starting at the conceptual design stage, reusing CAE best practices, and automating highly manual and repetitive design simulation tasks, performance simulation results can finally truly drive critical new product development decisions.
The Comet Performance Engineering Workspace is an environment that enables such early stage integrated, multi-fidelity, multi-disciplinary modeling and design/simulation process automation. One of the many multi-disciplinary conceptual engineering applications of the Comet Workspace is for the integrated Structural, Thermal, Optical Performance (STOP) analysis of complex, multi-disciplinary space systems containing Electro-Optical (EO) sensors such as those which are designed and developed by and for NASA and the Department of Defense. The CometTM software is able to integrate performance simulation data and processes from a wide range of commercial 3-D CAD and analysis software programs including Thermal Desktop, MSC Nastran, MATLAB, Excel, CODE V and SigFit which are used to simulate the optics performance (image quality, LOS/Jitter) of both passive and actively controlled EO sensor system designs deployed in space-borne applications.
Comet Solutions is also working with the Air Force Research Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM to extend the use of the Comet commercial software by creating a custom adaptor for the WaveTrainTM wave optics software used by DOD/AFRL laser weapons engineers to enable them to perform integrated systems analysis of laser-based optics systems deployed on air-borne platforms.
The presentation will review several industry use cases relevant to NASA, DOD and aerospace/defense industry organizations highlighting typical applications of the Comet workspace.

This short course introduces students to the concept of the thermal radiation form factor, the grey body factor and the radiation conductor, and discusses and demonstrates a variety of techniques to calculate these parameters critical to spacecraft thermal analysis. Taught by Steve Rickman.

Steve Rickman joined the NASA Engineering and Safety Center in January 2009 as the NASA Technical Fellow for Passive Thermal.  In this capacity, he leads a cross-agency Technical Discipline Team, leveraging expertise from within and outside of the agency to solve high risk technical problems and foster a community of practice for the passive thermal control and thermal protection disciplines.

He began his NASA career in 1981 serving as a cooperative education student at, both, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Johnson Space Center.  Upon completion of his Bachelors degree, he continued his service as a thermal engineer in JSC’s Thermal Branch.  Prior to coming to NESC, Mr. Rickman served as Chief of JSC’s Thermal Design Branch. 

Steve’s primary interest has been in the area of passive thermal control of orbiting spacecraft.  He's served on numerous design teams including the TransHab inflatable module project as lead environments engineer and lead thermal analyst.  As the NASA technical manager, he led the development of the Thermal Synthesizer System (TSS) analysis tool suite.  He was the thermal design engineer for the Inter-Mars Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter, the ISS Extravehicular Charged Particle Directional Spectrometer and the Mars Odyssey 2001 Martian Radiation Environment Experiment.  Steve also developed concurrent engineering techniques for representing thermal protection systems in spacecraft thermo-mechanical stress models.  He co-developed a general purpose on-orbit thermal environments tool which was used extensively during the STS 35 ASTRO-1 mission.   He served as the NASA lead for the Flight-Day-Two Object Radar Team and worked with the U.S. Air Force on this facet of the investigation.  In 2006, he led the Tile Overlay Repair Development Team, focused on developing a repair for Space Shuttle tile damage.

Mr. Rickman has authored or co-authored 14 technical papers and conference presentations including public testimony given to the Columbia Accident Investigation Board and a textbook chapter on natural and induced thermal environments.  He holds a U.S. patent as a co-inventor of an innovative space station concept.  Steve has received numerous mentoring, Group Achievement, Tech Brief and Space Act Awards and has been honored with the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal.   In autumn 2011, he was named as an Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Rice University.

Steve received a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Cincinnati and earned his M.S. in Physical Science from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. 

 

Aerothermodynamic and Thermal Protection System Aspects of Entry System Design

This course will present an overview of the theory behind aerothermodynamic calculations as they pertain to entry vehicle design.  Engineering methods to calculate the aerodynamic heating for an entry trajectory will also be described.  This course will also present an overview of thermal protection systems for entry system design.  The course will provide a high level summary of the theory behind thermal response calculations and will describe the different types of thermal protection system materials available.  Thermal protection system testing methods and facilities will also be described.  This course is designed for engineers and scientists interested in gaining a working knowledge of the aerodynamic heating and thermal protection system aspects of planetary entry, descent and landing system design. Examples drawn from experience in recent NASA programs will be used to illustrate the physical principles described.
Taught by Michael Wright and John Dec.

Michael Wright has worked at NASA Ames Research Center for fourteen years, specializing in Entry, Descent and Landing technologies, aerothermodynamics, and thermal protection systems.
