What would we see if there wasn’t Imagery?

NASA/SSP Engineering Groups: FIT Team, ET, SSME, SRB, ORB, Launch Accessories, MEQ, PYRO Systems, etc.
Specifically, who do we support?

Space Shuttle Main Engines
The Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSME) were built and test-fired at Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The three SSME’s start T-6.6 seconds before Launch, one at a time just milliseconds apart prior to lift-off. Since 1981, upgrades to the original main engine design have more than tripled estimates of their safety.
The Main Propulsion Test Article (MPTA) at Stennis Space Center, fired a three-engine cluster attached to an
external tank and an Orbiter section to validate main propulsion performance
(1978-1981)

From an Analysis standpoint, the need for Imagery data easily extends beyond a “typical” Launch Day!
![Page 17: Lockwood.scott](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555bb168d8b42a0d0f8b4853/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Even before a Launch may take place, Imagery
Analysis is heavily relied upon even during acts of
“Mother Nature”
(STS-117’s Hail damaged External Tank – Mar. 2007)
![Page 18: Lockwood.scott](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555bb168d8b42a0d0f8b4853/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Through the Ascent phase of any given STS Mission (ex. taken shortly
after jettison of STS-112’s
External Tank)
![Page 19: Lockwood.scott](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555bb168d8b42a0d0f8b4853/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Analyzing the performance of multiple Systems in Flight

Through the Landing phase of each Space Shuttle Mission
![Page 21: Lockwood.scott](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555bb168d8b42a0d0f8b4853/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
-- When a Project Manager must choose to come out of his/her comfort zone --
However, this is built upon many “hard decisions” that had to first be made
![Page 22: Lockwood.scott](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555bb168d8b42a0d0f8b4853/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Case in point: Capturing (Still) Images• - Polaroid Cameras• - 35mm (still) Cameras• - 21mp Digital Cameras
Ex. Screening Films:• - Reviewing each Film’s frame by hand• - 16mm table top Projectors• - 35mm & 70mm Studio Projectors• - Ultra HD 4K Projection system
-- Technological advancements can provide relatively easy direction in the decision making process --
![Page 23: Lockwood.scott](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555bb168d8b42a0d0f8b4853/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Case in Point: Midway through last year, a decision was passed down after the Launch of STS-124, all Launch Films would will be scanned on a
telecine (“digitized”) and delivered to Kennedy Space Center as QuBit files. As mandated, Prints/“Films” would also be provided, but for the last time.
What did this mean?
As of the following Mission (STS-125’s Hubble Mission), there will be… NO MORE FILMS PROVIDED!
-- But what if Specific Requirements are changing faster than your workplace or facility can support while currently
handling Mission Critical tasks? Change has to happen, something needs to be done! --
![Page 24: Lockwood.scott](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555bb168d8b42a0d0f8b4853/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Present Viewing Capabilities:
• View High Definition Videos w/ Christie (1K) DLP Projector• View “digitized” 16mm Films w/ same Christie (1K) DLP projector• View 35mm Films with Kinoton (motion) Projector
Note:For the previous 2 mission, we had experimented w/ “digitized”16mm Films (telecine files)for Imagery Analysis purposes even though our existing Christie DLP projector is only 1024x1024 (1K).Note: must maintain the Kinoton projector for archival film viewing
![Page 25: Lockwood.scott](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555bb168d8b42a0d0f8b4853/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Challenge / Solution:
•Objects/IFA’s cannot be observed/resolved on the Kennedy’s Christie (1K) DLP Projection System with the capability we currently have with the Kinoton 35mm Film projector. The existing Christie DLP requires clipping and/or down conversion in order to display digitized images.
•Due to new requirements, it is imperative to upgrade the Digital Projection system to support Ascent/Landing Imagery Analysis starting w/ STS-125 (now STS-126).
•Must be compatible with existing analysis lab upgrades.
•Searched out & found New 4K (4096 x 2160) Ultra High Definition D-ILA projector that meets these requirements and provides additional capability that can be utilized as digital technology expands.

• Research the Situation inside-out • Have ALL Financial aspects disclosed early on!• Plan for Redundancies, let me say that again… “Plan for
Redundancies!!”• Develop a “means-to-the-madness” plan with all personnel
that will be called upon to support --From: budgeting/procurement personnel, to Senior Management, to prospective contract venders, to Transportation staff, to Facility Representatives, etc.
• Don’t be afraid to call a “Time-out” if you see a disconnect coming about.

– Each Shuttle has 2.5 million parts, 230 miles of wire, 1500 circuit breakers and switches, and 27,000 insulated tiles and thermal blankets
– Liftoff weight is 4.5 million pounds, a total of 6.9 million pounds thrust consumes 3.5 million pounds of propellant in 8.5 minutes, and the landing weight can be up to 240,000 pounds
– Solid rocket motors burn 10 tons of fuel per second (Aluminum powder and ammonium perchlorate) to produce 2.9 million pounds of thrust each
– Main engines produce 23 times the power of Hoover Dam, consume 1000 gal/second (the equivalent of a swimming pool every 25 seconds); temperatures range from 6000 degrees F to minus 423 degrees F
– External Tank holds 143,000 gal LO2 & 385,000 gal LH2 (1.6 million lbs). A soft drink can, scaled up to the same size, would have a skin thicker than the ET (0.5 vs. 0.080 inches)
– 113 Shuttle flights have spent over 2.5 years in orbit, 15 passenger years– A Shuttle flight costs ~$500M; a minute of crew time costs ~$5000
