Book excerpt: This unique and historic document is the Space Shuttle's Main Propulsion System (MPS) Operations User's Guide. The official NASA astronaut training manuals comprised a major part of the formal flight crew training process, and were used by flight controllers as well. These internal NASA manuals were produced by the Mission Operations Directorate (Space Flight Training Division branch) at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The manuals and workbooks are extremely detailed and comprehensive, and are designed for self-study. A full listing of all acronyms and abbreviations used in the text is included. They provide a superb way to learn about Shuttle systems, hardware, and operational procedures. Special emphasis on crew interaction with the displays, controls, and hardware is included. This MPS OPS User's Guide is a unique document because it is written for users of the MPS system. This guide consolidates all technical documentation required to fully prepare a crewmember to operate the MPS system, under nominal conditions, from pre-launch to landing. The target audiences for this user's guide are: 1. Astronauts, 2. Space Flight Training Division Instructors (who train the astronauts), 3. Flight Controllers (who desire a crew member perspective of the system). This User's Guide is divided into three sections: 1. MPS Subsystems 2. Crew Tasks 3. Nominal FDF procedures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Astrid's first space mission goes disastrously wrong, she realizes she needs a bit more training than she thought! Astrid is training to go to space! But as she builds her shuttle, cooks astronaut food, and practices floating in zero gravity, Dad tells Astrid that the ship's construction is too dangerous, she's too little to cook alone, and she's not allowed to flood the bathroom. That night, when Astrid dreams she's an astronaut, the challenges she encounters are overwhelming. Astrid realizes she isn't as ready as she thought. Back on Earth, Astrid turns to her loving and supportive Dad, who helps Astrid continue her astronaut training.

Download or read book Inside the International Space Station (ISS) written by World Spaceflight News and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about the International Space Station (ISS) from the textbooks used by the astronauts! These astronaut and flight controller training manuals, produced by the Mission Operations Directorate (Space Flight Training Division branch) at NASA's Johnson Space Center, represent a major part of the formal flight crew training process. The manuals and workbooks are extremely detailed and comprehensive, and are designed for self-study. A full listing of all acronyms and abbreviations used in the text is included. They provide a superb way to learn about Station systems, hardware, and operational procedures. Special emphasis on crew interaction with the displays, controls, and hardware is included. This training manual covers the ISS electrical power system (EPS). The International Space Station (ISS) requires electrical power for all ISS functions: command and control, communications, lighting, life support, etc. Both the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and U.S. On-orbit Segment (USOS) have the capability and responsibility for providing on-orbit power sources for their own segments, as well as power sharing, as required, to support assembly and ISS operations for all International Partners. The ROS and USOS Electrical Power Systems (EPSs) are responsible for providing a safeguarded source of uninterrupted electrical power for ISS. To accomplish this, the EPS must generate and store power, convert and distribute power to users, protect both the system and users from electrical hazards, and provide the means for controlling and monitoring system performance. These functions are performed by several pieces of interrelated ISS hardware/software, which are each discussed in detail in Section 2. However, to provide the proper context for the detailed discussion, it is helpful to take a "big picture" look at the EPS system, its responsibilities, architecture, and components. The USOS EPS is designed to be a distributed power system; i.e., power is produced in localized areas and then distributed to various modules. This functional design is similar to the process used by municipal electric utilities to provide electrical power to users. High voltage power or "primary power" is generated in a centralized power plant and distributed throughout the area via transmission lines. Before power is delivered to users, the voltage is stepped down by a transformer to the user-required regulated voltage level. "Secondary power" (power transmitted at the user-required voltage level) is distributed to nearby locations and is further divided and routed by distribution boxes to provide electricity to many individual users. An analogous process is used on ISS. USOS EPS design incorporates modules (called Photovoltaic Modules) that are dedicated to generating and storing power. These modules or "power plants" provide two sources of primary power (160 V dc) called power channels. During both insolation and eclipse, each power channel provides a continuous supply of power for distribution throughout ISS. Primary power is then converted to secondary power (124 V dc) in proximity to its intended users. From the converters, secondary power is distributed along a variety of paths to individual ISS power users. This two-level power system allows EPS to compensate for factors such as line losses, hardware degradation, and solar array aging within the primary power system while providing consistent secondary voltage for ISS users. Per this distributed design, primary power is used when transmission over significant distances is required and secondary power is for distribution locally. The distributed design of the USOS EPS architecture provides for the incremental buildup of the power system during ISS assembly. The PVMs are independent power plants that add to the primary power production capability. The Secondary Power System, on the other hand, is a local power network that is integrated into the trusses, modules, and racks of the ISS.
Book Synopsis Prepare for Launch by : Erik Seedhouse
Download or read book Prepare for Launch written by Erik Seedhouse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's astronauts require many different abilities. They must not only be expert in performing flight simulations but must also be proficient in such dissimilar subjects as photography, thermodynamics, electrical repairs, flight procedures, oceanography, public affairs, and geology. In Prepare for Launch, the author introduces the technologies and myriad activities that constitute or affect astronaut training, such as the part-task trainers, emergency procedures, the fixed-based and motion-based simulators, virtual environment training, and the demands of training in the Weightless Environment Training Facility. With plans to return to the Moon and future missions to Mars, the current selection criteria and training are very different from those used for short duration mission Space Shuttle crews. Dr. Erik Seedhouse in this book focuses on how astronaut candidates are taught to cope with different needs and environments (for example, hibernation, artificial gravity, and bioethics issues) and also includes brief discussions of the astronaut application and selection process.

Download or read book America's Space Shuttle written by World Spaceflight News and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and historic document provides extraordinary detail about the Space Shuttle's Return to Launch Site (RTLS) abort procedure. The official NASA astronaut training manuals comprised a major part of the formal flight crew training process, and were used by flight controllers as well. These internal NASA manuals were produced by the Mission Operations Directorate (Space Flight Training Division branch) at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The manuals and workbooks are extremely detailed and comprehensive, and are designed for self-study. A full listing of all acronyms and abbreviations used in the text is included. They provide a superb way to learn about Shuttle systems, hardware, and operational procedures. Special emphasis on crew interaction with the displays, controls, and hardware is included. If an engine fails during the first 4 minutes of ascent, the shuttle cannot achieve orbit. For the first 3 minutes or so of ascent, it cannot even reach a TAL. The only runway near enough to be reached is one near the launch site. In order to reach this runway, the shuttle must literally reverse course and fly back the way it came. The turn to reverse course is called powered pitcharound (PPA), and the timing of PPA is critically important. Since the orbiter is powerless once the main engines are shut down, these engines must be shut down when the orbiter has enough speed and altitude to glide to the runway. Also, in order to safely separate the orbiter from the ET, the ET should have no more than 2 percent propellant remaining. More propellant might slosh around and cause the tank to lurch and collide with the orbiter. Therefore, the shuttle must turn back toward the launch site at the exact instant that will allow it to arrive at MECO with the right amounts of speed, altitude, and propellant. If the RTLS is declared before the time of PPA, the shuttle has to perform what is called fuel wasting. This means pointing the shuttle more vertical (called lofting) to minimize loss of altitude while still flying away from the launch site and runway. This continues until the shuttle must execute PPA and turn back toward the launch site. From this point on, the shuttle thrusts back toward the runway until it reaches MECO conditions. These conditions are specified as 2 percent propellant remaining with the right speed, direction, and altitude to glide to a landing.
