Orbital Sciences to Fulfill NASA Contract Following Explosion

Posted on by

Orbital Sciences (ORB) announced Wednesday its plan to fulfill its contract to NASA following the launch failure of its Antares rocket last month.

Orbital will buy rockets from an unnamed source, according to Reuters, to deliver Orbitals Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station by the end of 2015. Thanks to the Cygnus spacecrafts ability to carry heavier loads, Orbital said it will likely need to launch only one or two non-Antares rockets to satisfy its NASA commitments.

The company promised the launches would be conducted at no additional cost to NASA. Orbital said it is also planning to introduce an Antares propulsion system upgrade ahead of schedule in 2016.

Orbital is taking decisive action to fulfill our commitments to NASA in support of safe and productive operations of the Space Station. While last weeks Antares failure was very disappointing to all of us, the company is already implementing a contingency plan to overcome this setback. We intend to move forward safely but also expeditiously to put our CRS cargo program back on track and to accelerate the introduction of our upgraded Antares rocket, Orbital Chairman and CEO David W. Thompson said.

Given that the Antares upgrade was already in the works, Thompson said he expected no significant adverse financial effects in 2016 or later. In the short term, the financial impact of the Antares explosion will depend on the launch options Orbital selects. However, Thompson said the effects are not anticipated to be material on an annual basis in 2015.

Shares of Orbital Sciences were down over 1.5% Wednesday afternoon. Year-to-date, the stock is up over 6%.

As for the Antares launch failure, Orbital said preliminary analysis points to probable failure in the turbopump in one of the rockets two Aerojet Rocketdyne AJ26 engines. The company said use of these engines for the Antares rockets will likely be discontinued.

NASA snaps photos of the eye of Super Typhoon Nuri

Posted on by

On Nov. 1, NASA's Aqua satellite captured an image (left) of Super Typhoon Nuri. Two days later, on Nov. 3, the storm had developed an eye (right). NASA Goddard MODIS Rapid Response Team

Between Nov. 1 and Nov. 3, NASA's Aqua satellite snapped photos from space as the tropical cyclone Nuri turned into a Super Typhoon and developed an eye near Okinawa, Japan.

When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite took a picture of Super Typhoon Nuri on Nov. 1 at 12:30 a.m. EDT (shown above on the left), the storm had not yet developed an eye. But when the instrument passed over Nuri again on Nov. 3 at 12:20 a.m. EDT, the eye of the storm could clearly be seen (shown above on the right).

Later Monday morning, Nuri's maximum sustained winds reached 178.4 mph, which turned it into a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale -- a 1-5 rating system based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed. It has since been downgraded to a Category 4.

The typhoon was centered about 591.5 miles southeast of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, traveling northeast. The storm is currently expected to pass west of Iwo Jima on Nov. 5.

The storm was one of the most powerful tropical cyclones of 2014. It is forecasted to stay southeast of the Japanese mainland, but could send high waves to the small islands due south of Tokyo on Thursday.

NASA Installs Giant Composite Material Research Robot

It looks like something out of a Transformers movie a huge robotic arm that moves and spins to pick up massive heads filled with spools of carbon fibers, then moves in preprogrammed patterns to deposit those fibers onto a 40-foot long bed. But instead of transforming from machine to Autobot, it can transform epoxy and fibers into aerospace structures and parts.

NASAs Langley Research Center is in the process of setting up this advanced composite research capability that engineers are calling ISAAC for Integrated Structural Assembly of Advanced Composites. Just to get ISAAC to the Hampton, Virginia facility was a challenge financially and physically.

We have worked for two years to obtain this precise robotic technology. But we proposed the idea more than six years ago, said structural mechanics engineer Chauncey Wu. It will really make a difference in our ability to understand composite materials and processes for use in aviation and space vehicles.

Funding was one stumbling block. But Wu and his ISAAC project teammates Brian Stewart and Robert Martin were able to convince NASA Langley to provide about $1.4 million, the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate to kick in $1.1 million, and the Space Technology Mission Directorate and NASA Langleys Space Technology and Exploration Directorate contribute a combined $200,000 to the multi-million dollar system cost.

The other challenge was the actual physical move of the ISAAC system. The system is only one of three in the world manufactured by Electroimpact, Inc., headquartered in Mukilteo, Washington. The other two are used for bulk manufacturing of composites, not for research as NASA intends.

Two 53-foot long covered flatbed trucks made the trek all the way across country to bring the robot to NASA Langley in Hampton, Virginia. The trucks arrived at the crack of dawn, before most employees, because they were so large. Waiting for them was ISAACs new home a big empty space in NASA Langleys Advanced Manufacturing and Flight Test Articles Development Laboratory.

The robot is known for its precision work, but the choreography to place it inside the building had to be just as exact.

NASA Langley Tech Transfer: Power Technology for High-altitude Airships

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY POWER TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGH-ALTITUDE AIRSHIPS: LAR-17213 Synopsis - Oct 15, 2014 General Information Solicitation Number: TT01091 Posted Date: Oct 15, 2014 FedBizOpps Posted Date: Oct 15, 2014 Recovery and Reinvestment Act Action: No Original Response Date: Sep 29, 2015 Current Response Date: Sep 29, 2015 Classification Code: 99 -- Miscellaneous NAICS Code: 927110 Set-Aside Code: Contracting Office Address NASA/Langley Research Center, Mail Stop 12, Industry Assistance Office, Hampton, VA 23681-0001 Description NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Scientists at NASA Langley Research Center have developed a unique concept for providing electrical power to high-altitude airships (HAA). These airships are intended to remain aloft at high altitudes for extended periods of time for various potential scientific, commercial, and defense uses. Powering HAA presents a challenge due to the extended periods between possible refueling and the weight restrictions of these lighter-than-air airships. The advanced thermoelectric materials developed by NASA offer distinct weight and performance advantages over conventional photovoltaic systems, and convert the energy from solar radiation in the form of heat directly into electricity. The NASA approach combines the high-performance thermal energy harvesting capabilities of advanced thermoelectric materials with a novel elliptical airship cross-section to maximize solar gain. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to LaRC-PatentLicensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. Please also provide the nature of your interest in the technology along with a brief background of your company. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/ . These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development OSACB for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, OSACB will follow the required formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
