Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Launch and On-Orbit Operations of Boeing's GPS Satellites documents the design of the Boeing GPS Block I satellites and the author's work as Boeing's GPS Space and Ground Segment Manager when he developed and used predictive algorithms to identify premature aging in normal appearing engineering measurement telemetry from electrical and electro-mechanical equipment on Boeing/U.S. Air Force GPS satellites winning Boeing $4.5B in future GPS satellite contracts that was contractually documented in GPS monthly and quarterly orbital test reports as CDRLs. The author includes the results of the use of PHM analysis on the NASA/Orbital/Berkeley Extreme Ultra-Violet Explorer Low earth orbiting space science satellite, a sister ship to the NASA/Lockheed Hubble Space Telescope. Now called prognostics and health management or PHM, predictive algorithms in PHM were developed by the author and used on the Boeing/U.S. Air Force's GPS Block I space-based navigation satellites to nullify the lack of GPS satellite telemetry from each of the on-orbit GPS satellites. PHM was first used by the author in 1979 to predict on-board GPS satellite atomic frequency standard failures for replacement prior to system wide, multi-service testing on the initial GPS constellation of 12 Block I MEO satellites that were operating in a 12,000 mile altitude, inclined 63 degrees, in a circular Earth orbit for achieving the maximum navigation payload system performance that would justify funding the GPS program by the Department of Defense over two existing fully funded U.S. Navy satellite-based navigation systems. The 12 Boeing Block 1 GPS satellite constellation was used to win program funding by the author from the Department of Defense resulting in two follow-on contracts for a total of $4.5B for 28 additional Block II GPS satellites and 12 Block IIA and 12 Block IIF satellites with improvements over the Block I satellites based on the results from the author's routine prognostic analysis he completed to keep GPS satellite equipment and navigation payload performance and reliability as high as possible. With the Air Force's GPS program funded by the Department of Defense in 1981, the two existing, Navy satellite-based navigation and timing programs called TIMATION and TRANSIT were retired and the ownership of the Air Force's GPS program was turned over to the U.S. government for funding and operations after GPS was provided for public use for free by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 following the intentional shoot down of a commercial Korean airlines passenger jet over the Soviet Union by a Soviet Union fighter pilot. an Addendum has been added to illustrate the author's use of Fourier analysis to create virtual telemetry behavior for GPS satellite subsystem equipment telemetry that was not available due to the restrictions placed on each Boeing GPS satellite telemetry availability by senior Air Force officers at AFSMC (SAMSO) in Los Angeles CA. and Lockheed Missiles and Space Company management and AFSCF contracted satellite operations personnel in Sunnyvale CA., who wanted the GPS test and evaluation program to fail.

This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to the Launch and On-Orbit Operations of Boeing's GPS Satellites briefly describes the achievements in the development and use of the technology known today as predictive analytics and prognostics and health management (PHM) by the author who was Boeing's GPS Space and Ground Systems Manager on the U.S. Air Force Global Positioning System Block 1 constellation of medium earth orbiting satellites and NASA's low earth orbiting Extreme Ultra Violet Explorer class satellite. PHM is used for predicting with 100% certainty future satellite equipment failures. On the Block 1 GPS satellites, the predictions were used to maximize the satellite payload performance at its highest during critical multi-service system testing used to determine if the GPS program should receive funding by the department of defense. On the NASA extreme ultra-violet explorer class satellite or EUVE. The results from predictions by the author were used to reduce mission operations work load to engineers on-call, allowing the EUVE payload mission control center funding be used to extend the visiting scientist program and extending the scientific mission for the EUVE satellite by 8 years. The author included 2 reports consolidating the multi-year independent validation of the results from the prognostic analysis completed by the author on the NASA EUVE low earth orbiting space science satellite using proprietary pattern recognition software by reliability analysis engineers employed at Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center located in Sunnyvale C and the co-published technical paper published at the International Telemetry Conference in 1996 and 1997 and the 1997 AIAA Small Satellite Conference held in Ogden Utah.

Book excerpt: An Introduction to Predicting Failures on Highly Reliable Aerospace Equipment documents the author's research and work as the Boeing GPS Space and Ground Segment Manager developing and using predictive algorithms that are today, part of the prognostics and health management (PHM) technology, the author used to identify premature aging in normal appearing GPS satellite subsystem electrical and mechanical equipment's analog and digital telemetry on the 12 U.S. Air Force/Boeing GPS Block I satellites that led to the funding of the GPS program by the DoD and awards of two contracts to Boeing for 40 more improved GPS satellites, with improvements based on the results from the author's routine prognostic analysis on, on-orbit GPS satellites as well as satellites at the factory, and the results of the author's prognostics analysis of the NASA/Fairchild/U.C. Berkeley, Space Science Laboratory's Extreme Ultra-Violet Explorer (EUVE) class, low earth orbiting space science satellite, one of many sister ships to the NASA Hubble Space Telescope. Now called prognostics and health management or PHM technology, the predictive algorithms developed and used by the author on the 12 Boeing GPS satellites as the Boeing GPS Space and Ground Segment Manager were a follow-on to the Naval Research Laboratory''s two failed navigation technology satellite (NTS) that were the proof of concept satellites for the Air Force's GPS program. PHM and the prognostic analysis was first used by the author to predict on-board Boeing's GPS Block I satellite's cesium and rubidium atomic frequency standard failures for replacement prior to and during critical, system-wide, multi-service test and evaluation program that used the initial 12 GPS Block I (a.k.a. Phase I) constellation of MEO satellites launched by the author into a 12,000 mile altitude, 63 degree inclination circular Earth orbit. The author completed the routine prognostic analysis on all Block I GPS satellites for achieving the maximum satellite and system performance by switching out the navigation payload units that were predicted to fail with certainty using the author's predictive algorithms. As the Boeing GPS Space and Ground Segment Manager, the author was responsible for Boeing's Block I GPS satellite design and redesign, launch, early orbit operations and final 3-axis stabilized on-orbit operations during the Phase I of 3 phases of the GPS program. The routine, prognostic analysis completed by the author were documented in monthly and quarterly orbital test reports as CDRL's submitted to the GPS Program Office located at AFSMC in Los Angeles, CA. The 12 Boeing Block 1 GPS satellite constellation was used by the author to win funding for the GPS program from the Pentagon based on the extremely high system performance as a result of completing routine prognostic analysis on each on-orbit GPS satellite. Using predictive algorithms, the author completed routine prognostic analysis on each on-orbit satellites. Boeing was awarded two follow-on contracts for 40 additional improved Boeing GPS Block II and IIA satellites with the improvements identified as a result of the routine prognostic analysis by the author, who discovered many improvements in equipment and subsystem functional configuration and equipment performance using predictive algorithms. With the GPS program funded by the DoD, the two existing and well-established Navy, satellite-based navigation and timing programs called TIMATION and TRANSIT were retired. The Introduction to Predicting Failures on Highly Reliable Aerospace Equipment documents the author's many years of work in developing and using PHM technology on both the Boeing GPS satellites and the NASA/Fairchild/U.C. Berkeley EUVE low earth orbiting space science satellite. The NASA EUVE used one of 10 Fairchild's multi mission satellite Bus' purchased by NASA hoping to lower the cost of an expected group of future space science missions.

Book excerpt: Briefly describes the author's initial experience developing and using predictive analytics to identify failure precursors in normal appearing engineering measurement data from electrical and electro-mechanical equipment on U.S. Air Force/Boeing GPS satellites and U.C. Berleley SSL/NASA's Extreme Ultra-Violet Explorer (EUVE) class satellite, a sister ship to the NASA Hubble space telescope. Now called prognostics and health management or PHM. The predictive algorithms were first developed by the author on the GPS program now considered PHM technology and were developed by the author and used on the initial 12 U.S. Air Force's GPS Block I space-based navigation program the followon to the navigation technology satellites (NTS)program funded by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) . PHM was first used by the author to predict on-board GPS Block I satellite atomic frequency standard failures for replacement during system-wide, multi-service system test and evaluation on the initial GPS Block I (Phase I) constellation of MEO satellites that were operating in a 12,000 mile, circular Earth orbit for achieving the maximum system performance during multi-military service system-wide testing.

Book excerpt: The Space Flight History of PHM Technology describes the 30 years the author incorporated PHM technology he developed for GPS satellites as the Boeing GPS Space and Ground Segment Manager on contract to the U.S. Air Force to win funding for the GPS program by the department of Defense. The results of his routine prognostic analysis were used to improve the design of the future 52 GPS Block !!, !!A and !!F satellites. Also included are the results of the author's work to use PHM technology in the design and test of U.S. civil, military and NASA spacecraft, missiles and launch vehicles and international civil and government and satellites and launch vehicles. Also included is the independent validation of PHM technology by Lockheed martin reliability analysis engineers at the Advanced Development Dept. in Sunnyvale Ca. Lockheed Martin enginers used their proprietary software used for pattern recognition of torpedo wakes from submarine launched torpedoes to identify the presence of premature aging in NASA's Extreme Ultra Violet Explorer class subsystem equipment telemetry and the satellite's telescope detector's analog telemetry. The $700M EUVE satellite was a collaboration between NASA and U.C. Berkeley's Space Science Laboratory. The NASA EUVE satellite was a low earth orbiting, space science satellite, one of many sister-ships to the NASA Hubble orbiting telescope. The results of the author's prognostic analysis was used to close the mission control center and call engineers only when an equipment failure was predicted, the budget saved by closing the EUVE payload mission control center was used to extend the EUVE satellite's space science mission from 1995 to 2002, when the EUVE satellite re-entered the earth's atmosphere and landed in Egypt's desert. Also included is the first technical paper published about PHM technology in 1996 by the author and Lockheed Martin's Space Systems Engineers in the Advance Development Dept. engineer's independent validation of the author's prognostic analysis using his proprietary predictive algorithms to process the NASA EUVE satellite's subsystem equipment's telemetry that illustrated the premature aging allowing the author to predict which EUVE satellite's equipment were going to fail and each unit's remaining usable life was going to be with certainty prior to each equipment failure. Included is the results of the prognostic analysis regarding the author's predicted satellite subsystem and payload equipment remaining usable life that were 100% accurate, there were no false positives and no false negatives using the author's proprietary, predictive algorithms in completing his prognostic analysis.

This book was released on 2017-02-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the GPS Won Funding by the Department of Defense is the story of the leader of the Rockwell International's (now Boeing) engineering teams and subcontractors that overpowered the overwhelming factions in the Air Force and their prime contractor, Lockheed Missiles and Space Company that "pulled the trigger time after time", working to destroy GPS and how the author created a new technology that allowed each of Boeing's GPS Block I satellite's atomic clocks to operate at their peak performance during every U.S. and international organization's multi-service system wide testing including NATO's. The author tells how he caused Boeing's GPS satellite's performance to exceed all expectations and thus the GPS system to do the same using prognostics and health monitoring technology the author developed and used routinely on every on-orbit Boeing GPS Block I satellite that allowed each Boeing GPS satellite to perform beyond expectations when they shouldn't have and won the GPS program funding by the Department of Defense in 1982. The PHM technology was developed in paraelle by the nuclear power industry as well as the aircraft industry and is used today in every nuclear power plant and in the design of all future military and commercial aircraft including the existing Lockheed Martin/Air Force F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and Boeing's 787 Dreamliner commercial aircraft. This is the story of how and why GPS was able to succeed over two existing satellite-based navigation systems owned and operated by the U.S. Navy's nuclear submarine program with equipment designed to fail prematurely in space making GPS program's chances of winning funding next to impossible. Unknown to the author that what he developed was impossible to do, he used the equipment status information he received and converted the common measurements of voltage, current and temperature into a measurement of remaining usable life. It wasn't until his management informed him that what he had been doing successfully with GPS program management's full knowledge for 4 years that won GPS funding by the Department of Defense was impossible and to stop doing it. That is when the author realized that he had to leave the GPS program and Rockwell International and begin a 26 year research program to identify the origin of the behavior he had discovered in the equipment engineering data and its relationship to the length of time the equipment was going to function normally.

Book excerpt: If you want to know where you are, you need a good clock. The surprising connection between time and placeais explored inaTime and Navigation- The Untold Story of Getting from Here to There, the companion book to the National Air and Space Museum exhibition of the same name. Today we use smartphones and GPS, but navigating has not always been so easy. The oldest "clock" is Earth itself, and the oldest means of keeping time came from observing changes in the sky. Early mariners like the Vikings accomplished amazing feats of navigation without using clocks at all. Pioneering seafarers in the Age of Exploration used dead reckoning and celestial navigation; later innovations such as sextants and marine chronometers honed these techniques by measuring latitude and longitude. When explorers turned their sights to the skies, they built on what had been learned at sea. For example, Charles Lindbergh used a bubble sextant on his record-breaking flights. World War II led to the development of new flight technologies, notably radio navigation, since celestial navigation was not suited for all-weather military operations. These forms of navigation were extended and enhanced when explorers began guiding spacecraft into space and across the solar system. Astronauts combined celestial navigation technology with radio transmissions. The development of the atomic clock revolutionized space flight because it could measure billionths of a second, thereby allowing mission teams to navigate more accurately. Scientists and engineers applied these technologies to navigation on earth to develop space-based time and navigation services such as GPS that is used every day by people from all walks of life. While the history of navigation is one of constant change and innovation, it is also one of remarkable continuity. Time and Navigation tells the story of navigation to help us understand where we have been and how we got there so that we can understand where we are going.

Berkeley Extreme Ultra-Violet Explorer satellite, a sister ship to the NASA Hubble space telescope. Now called prognostics and health management or PHM, predictive algorithms in PHM were developed by the author and used on the U.S. Air Force's GPS Block I space-based navigation program. PHM was first used by the author starting in 1979 to predict on-board GPS satellite atomic frequency standard failures for replacement on the initial GPS constellation of MEO satellites that were operating in a 12,000 mile altitude, inclined 63 degrees, circular Earth orbit for achieving the maximum navigation system performance during multi-military service system-wide testing that would justify funding by the DoD. The 12 Boeing Block 1 GPS satellite constellation was used to win program funding by the author from the Department of Defense resulting in two follow-on contracts for Boeing for 28 additional Block II GPS satellites and 12 Block IIA satellites with improvements based on the results from the author's routine prognostic analysis he completed to improve GPS satellite equipment and payload performance and reliability. With the Air Force's GPS program funded by the DoD, the two existing, Navy satellite-based navigation and timing programs called TIMATION and TRANSIT were retired.

Book excerpt: “A lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched overview of the aerospace giant’s first century.” —Aviation Week Over the course of a century, the Boeing Company grew from a small outfit operating out of a converted boathouse—producing a single pontoon plane made from canvas and wood—into the world’s largest aerospace company. The thrilling story of the celebrated organization is filled with ambition, ingenuity, and a passion to exceed expectations. In this extensively illustrated book, Pulitzer Prize–nominated author Russ Banham recounts the tale of a company and an industry like no other—one that has put men on the moon, defended the free world, and changed the way we live. “Higher ably commemorates Boeing’s enduring achievement, gliding nimbly through its triumphs of design, engineering and manufacture and, not least, its memorable contributions to wars won.” —The Wall Street Journal
