Previous Significant Accomplishments - Industry

AUSEPThe Air Forces Advanced/Affordable Upper Stage Engine program (AUSEP) is an initiative to develop an affordable upper stage engine concept that will be a replacement for the RL10 engine. The AUSEP engine has the requirement for 30,000 lb of thrust with the performance of the RL10B-2 that can be packaged in the envelope of an RL10A-4 to support USAF evolved expend- able launch vehicle (EELV) missions using existing Atlas and Delta launch vehicles.

Aerojet achievements:- Developed the major subsystems requirements associated verification requirements & documents.- Developed power balance for 30K-lb operation and for an additional throttleable 5K lbf thrust.- Developed DDT&E cost and schedule estimate.- Developed a flight engine production and delivery schedule.- Delivered a final flight engine architectural layout with a nozzle profile that aligned with AUSEP requirements.

Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (PWR) achievements:- Developed power balance models for several candidate upper stage engine architectures.- Developed a high-fidelity utility function balancing the main trade factors based upon customer inputs.- Developed recurring & nonrecurring cost estimates for three candidate RL-10 replacement engine cycle

configurations.- Completed validation plan and established program schedules for potential development.- Provided a technical report focused on three engine configuration concepts to replace the RL-10.

Exquadrum achievements:- Performed functional decomposition of AUSEP system requirements and trade space definition document.- Conducted turbomachinery trades and analyses.- Developed an integrated an aerospike engine configuration into a Centaur upper stage (geometric fit).- Developed recurring & nonrecurring cost estimates for the candidate RL-10 replacement engine.- Provided a technical report focused on the aerospike engine configuration concept to replace the RL-10.

4/22/2015


AUSEP (contd) Moog accomplishments:

- Completed the design, development, fabrication, and test of a high-pressure cryogenic LOX control valve. - Conducted an assessment of the Inconel 718 DMLS AM valve, including measuring seal friction and leakage,

measuring flow rates, and oxygen compatibility.- Provided a Technical Report regarding the development and test findings.

Northrup Grumman Aerospace System (NGAS) achievements:- Performed functional decomposition of AUSEP system requirements and trade space definition document- Completed turbomachinery trades and analyses.- Deliveredf recurring and nonrecurring cost and schedule estimates for the design, development, test, and

evaluation.- Finalize and deliver the recurring and nonrecurring cost and schedule estimates for the design, development, test,

and evaluation of the advanced upper stage engine.- Produced a final Technical Report focused on NGAS closed expander Engine Conceptual Design.

United Launch Alliance achievements:- Developed and fabricated an internal combustion engine (ICE), cryogenic compressor, and a five heat exchanger

complement. - Incorporated flight-worthy Krytox lubricants and coolants into the IVF ICE configuration. - Upgraded the IVF test facility to enable high-flow testing with cryogenic hydrogen and oxygen. - Developed and fabricated a first generation IVF controller. - Currently testing the Generation 1.5 integrated IVF system at Innovative Engineering Services (IES); tests include

operation with liquid and gaseous hydrogen and oxygen. - Current Gen 1.5 IVF system is used to demonstrate the IVFs system-level function.

4/22/2015


ABEDRR Task Northrup Grumman Aerospace System (NGAS) Advanced Booster achievements include the following:

- Successfully built out-of-autoclave test panels, fuel and oxidizer unitized tank halves.- Designed and fabricated test fixture.- Fabricated and outfitted the test stand with fixtures, including the substitute fuel (diesel) supply

tank.- Assessed and identified hazards associated with CTS testing.- Completed the mating of the out-of-autoclave unitized composite tank halves and installation of

ADG Task Award Process

Academia Period of Performance: 1 year base, one 1 year option Contract Vehicle: Grant Anticipated Solicitation Announcement: CY15 Anticipated ATP: CY16

Teaming is possible on these activities. Over the last few years ATK and the University of Utah collaborated on an activity and MIT- Aerospace Corporation on another.

In-House Period of Performance: 1 year base, 1 year option Contract Vehicle: N/A Anticipated Call for Proposals: FY15 Anticipated ATP: FY16

Teaming on these would involve an SAA with the performing organization.

Another potential way to augment both the in-house and academic tasks is through the Cooperative Agreements.

5 projects building on the Loci family of codes for liquid propulsion Super and sub sonic film cooling, reduce conservatism in design of nozzle extensions by increasing

fidelity of nozzle flow environments Modeling heat transfer of chilldown lines both in-space on for ground systems Improving physics based modeling data for combustion instability Next Generation Simulation Infrastructure for Large Scale Multicore Architectures

Inducer designed and fabricated at MIT, tested in the Aerospace Corporations water flow test facility. Results from the test will provide a baseline for validation of the body force methodology

Specialized testing capability at Auburn University provides additional characterization of ultracapacitor components

12 contracted activities with academic institutions 11 grants 1 contract 1 cooperative agreement

Over 60 students involved 15 BS 20 MS, 11 with degrees conferred relating directly to SLS funded project 26 PhD, 16 with degrees conferred relating directly to SLS funded project

10 Post-Doctoral consultants

The value of the academic activities goes beyond the deliverables from the projects. The number of students and professors participating in and benefitting from these grants provides an opportunity to influence not only the curriculum at major universities, but to infuse individuals into the workplace who are familiar with the needs and challenges of the SLS program.
