NASA Problems and Solutions By Don A. Nelson Contact: nasaproblems@yahoo.com September 2010 Executive Summary Government Accountability Office reports NASA remains a "high risk" investment of taxpayer dollars because it cannot complete major projects on time or on budget. http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d06817r.pdf Decades of failed NASA projects Office of the NASA Inspector General NASA management proposed replacements for the space shuttle are more costly to operate and provide no significant improvement in crew safety . There is no viable plan for replacement of the space shuttle ( see Bolden $20 Bet and reply). Don A. Nelson Nelson Aerospace Consulting Retired NASA Aerospace Engineer Bolden $20 Bet March 5, 2010 NASA Headquarters Office of the Administrator Attn: Gen. Charles F. Bolden Jr. Charlie, History will record that NASA management ignored requests to evaluate the commercial space shuttle as the lunar heavy lift vehicle before proceeding with their disastrous Ares Orion launch system. The hand writing is already on the wall that the Chinese space program will have a reusable space transportation system and therefore must have a space shuttle. Will history record that it was on your watch that this nation conceded human space exploration to

Superhero-Style Spacesuits Could Provide Vital Compression For Astronauts By Laurie J.

Described in a new paper, prototype tests of the Gravity Loading Countermeasure Skinsuit, being developed by a research team at MIT’s Man-Vehicle Laboratory, show that the suit simulates the effects of gravity on the human body, which could solve one of the biggest obstacles to future human space travel.

The cable volume and mass Equations Tables: Graphs: Data: Earth Mars Moon INTRODUCTION Be serious and don't be surprised at the following question: Have you ever seen the rope hanging from the space? Or, better to say the rope which end disappears in the azure of the sky? Yes, you answer, but only in the cartoon about Aladdin. In reality - never! If you saw in reality, or if you saw somebody climbing up that rope, you wouldn't believe your own eyes. Your common sense tells you that the rope should be hooked up on something. However, believe me, I'll exactly prove in this article: the rope that hangs from the sky is absolutely possible and that without any conjuring tricks. I must be more precise and it is better to say like this: the rope is fastened on the surface of the Earth, consequently on the ground, and it falls into the sky. To achieve that, we must have very, very long rope. With regard to the development of new materials, the matter becomes practicable in the near future.

You have your shirt, pants, sweater, perhaps long underwear, jacket, gloves, hat or hood, scarf and boots. You put on quite a bit of clothing to protect you from the cold. Now, imagine what you would have to put on to protect you from outer space! Space suits must provide all of the comfort and support that the Earth or a spacecraft does, addressing issues like atmosphere, water and protection from radiation. When you visit the International Space Station , or onto a world with little or no atmosphere, such as the moon or Mars , and you were not wearing a space suit, the following things would happen: In this article, we will examine the problems of walking in outer space and how space suits are made to cope with them.

35. Buran Soviet Space Shuttle -launched By The Energia Launcher This site describes the Russian Buran space plane. http://www.aerospaceguide.net/buran/index.html

Buran Soviet Space Shuttle The Russian Shuttle Buran ("Snowstorm" in Russian) was authorized in 1976 in response to the United States Space Shuttle program. Building of the shuttles began in 1980, with the first full-scale Aero-Buran rolling out in 1984. It was launched by Energia LV Test Flights The first suborbital test flight of a scale model of Buran took place in July 1983. There were five additional flights of the scale model in following years. Aerodynamic tests of the full-scale Buran analogue began in 1984. This aero-Buran was worn out after 24 test flights and would not fly again. The last of these aerodynamic test flights was in April 1988. Orbital Launch The first and only orbital launch of the shuttle Buran was at 3:00 GMT on November 15, 1988. The flight was unmanned, as the life support system had not been checked out and the CRT displays had no software installed. The vehicle was launched on the powerful Energiya booster into an 247 by 256 km orbit at 51.6 degrees inclination. The Buran orbited the Earth twice before firing its thrusters for reentry. The flight ended at 6:25 GMT when the vehicle touched down at Tyuratum. The Buran 1 mission was limited to 2 orbits due to computer memory limitations. Aftermath Although the first orbital flight of Buran was unmanned, it demonstrated much promise. The autopilot that landed the shuttle was able to overcome a 34 mph crosswind to land within 5 feet of the runway center line. Also, of the 38,000 heat shield tiles that covered Buran, only 5 were missing.
