 A total loss of power event is far less problematic
then a loss of control event.

Even if you are 1,000 miles off shore,  you can arrange a decent
ditch into the water  and radio for Emergency assistance on the way down.

I don't think i'd want to float for 12 hours waiting for pick up but
it will happen sometime.

to someone else i hope.

Loss of control events  are usually so sudden, that little can be
done to mitigate the situation,  like the two DC-10's that lost their
tail section hydraulics to a cargo hatch failure,  or
the 747 that lost it's left side controls  to a lightning strike.
(it was an Iran Air jet in the 70's).

pat

PS  a rocket losing power on descent phase, may still be able to
arrange some sort of reasonable water ditch.

Not exactly a refereed source, but when the movie "2001: A Space Odyessy"
came out in 1968, there was a handout given to each theatre-goer explaining
that the scene in which the commander goes from the pod into "Discovery"
without a helmet has not Hollywood trash and had, in fact, been researched
rather carefully.  They said that a human could, in fact, live in a vacuum
for several minutes, although with rapidly declining health.  The skin would
hold the body under sufficient pressure to keep them from boiling.  There would,
however, be many blood vessels burst.

I don't know if any real scientific research has been done on the subject, but
given the contingencies planned on shuttle missions, I would not doubt it.

Newsgroups: sci.space,sci.astro,alt.sci.planetary

Forwarded from Neal Ausman, Galileo Mission Director

                                  GALILEO
                       MISSION DIRECTOR STATUS REPORT
                                POST-LAUNCH
                         July 30 - August 5, 1993


SPACECRAFT

1.  On August 2, delta Differenced One-Way Range (DOR) passes were scheduled
over DSS-14/63 (Goldstone/Madrid 70 meter antenna) and DSS-14/43 (Goldstone/
Canberra 70 meter antennas).  The delta DOR activity was not performed due to
loss of DSN (Deep Space Network) station coverage which was reassigned to the
Mars Observer Project in support of a spacecraft safing anomaly.

2.  On August 2 and 5, Memory Readouts were performed for the Solid State
Imaging (SSI) camera.  The MRO on August 2 was not received due to loss of DSN
station coverage which was reassigned to the Mars Observer Project as discussed
above.  The MRO on August 5 indicated the camera was operating normally.

3.  On August 2, cruise science Memory Readouts (MROs) were performed for the
Dust Detector (DDS), Magnetometer (MAG), and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer
(EUV) instruments.  The data was not received on the ground due to loss of
DSN station coverage which was reassigned to the Mars Observer Project as
discussed above.

4.  On August 3, a NO-OP command was sent to reset the command loss timer to
264 hours, its planned value for this mission phase.  This command was
originally scheduled on August 2 and was changed when DSN station coverage was
reassigned to the Mars Observer Project as discussed above.

5.  On August 3, an Ultra-Stable Oscillator (USO) test was performed to verify
the health status of the USO and to collect gravitational red shift experiment
data; long term trend analysis is continuing.

6.  On August 4, a 40 bps telemetry performance test was conducted.  The ground
station transmitters were stepped through a range of power outputs to determine
the effects on the received downlink telemetry signal.  Analysis of the data is
in progress.

7.  On August 5, Delayed Action Commands (DACs) were sent to transition to
cruise mode after optical navigation No. 3 on August 11, turn the gyros off and
transition to the all-spin mode.  The commands were received without incident.

8.  On August 5, the spacecraft transitioned to dual-spin mode, gyros were
turned on and the wobble identification activity is in progress at the writing
of this report.  The spacecraft is expected to be in the dual-spin mode for
approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to perform the wobble identification
activities.

9.  The AC/DC bus imbalance measurements have not exhibited significant change
(greater than 25 DN) throughout this period.  The AC measurement reads 18 DN
(4.1 volts).  The DC measurement reads 156 DN (18.4 volts).  These
measurements are consistent with the model developed by the AC/DC special
anomaly team.

10. The Spacecraft status as of August 5, 1993, is as follows:

       a)  System Power Margin -  38 watts
       b)  Spin Configuration - Dual-Spin
       c)  Spin Rate/Sensor - 3.15rpm/Star Scanner
       d)  Spacecraft Attitude is approximately 20 degrees
           off-sun (lagging) and 3 degrees off-earth (lagging)
       e)  Downlink telemetry rate/antenna- 40bps(coded)/LGA-1
       f)  General Thermal Control - all temperatures within
           acceptable range
       g)  RPM Tank Pressures - all within acceptable range
       h)  Orbiter Science- Instruments powered on are the PWS,
           EUV, UVS, EPD, MAG, SSI,  HIC, and DDS
       i)  Probe/RRH - powered off, temperatures within
           acceptable range
       j)  CMD Loss Timer Setting - 264 hours
           Time To Initiation - 260 hours


UPLINK GENERATION/COMMAND REVIEW AND APPROVAL:

1.  The EJ-3 (Earth-Jupiter #3) Final Sequence and Command Generation package
was approved by the Project on August 5, 1993.  This sequence covers spacecraft
activities from August 27 to September 27, 1993 and includes the IDA closest
approach on August 28 and the initial return of science data.

GDS (Ground Data Systems):

1.  The Galileo Readiness Review for MGDS Version 18.1 was conducted on
August 5.  The major Galileo support function provided by MGDS Version 18.1 is
the uplink command capability replacing the current MCCC Command System.  The
Project concluded that MGDS Version 18.1 was ready to start parallel operations
during which the AMMOS/MGDS Command System will be used for flight support as
much as possible, but the MCCC Command Systems will still be available.  At
the end of parallel operations (planned for October 93), assuming no
significant MGDS problems are discovered, the MCCC Command System support will
be decommitted.


TRAJECTORY

     As of noon Thursday, August 5, 1993, the Galileo Spacecraft trajectory
status is as follows:

    Distance from Earth         476,406,000 km (3.19 AU)
    Distance from Sun           416,183,200 km (2.78 AU)
    Heliocentric Speed          67,800 km per hour
    Distance from Jupiter       412,282,300 km
    Round Trip Light Time       53 minutes, 4 seconds

SPECIAL TOPIC

1.  As of August 5, 1993, a total of 71950 real-time commands have been
transmitted to Galileo since Launch.  Of these, 65548 were initiated in the
sequence design process and 6402 initiated in the real-time command process.
In the past week, 5 real time commands were transmitted; one was initiated in
the sequence design process and 4 initiated in the real-time command process.
Major command activities included commands to reset the command loss timer,
and transition to the all-spin mode.

It's been going on for a couple of days (at least) by now.

It should peak +-3hrs on either side of 0100 UTC on 12 Aug.

It will slowly tail off for a few days after that, but the
night of 11/12 August should be the most interesting.

A few days ago I asked for info on the RH32 processor.  I couldn't

Since all 4 people who responded asked me why I was looking for info
on that project, I'll clarify it here.  It's for my personal research
on fault-tolerant processors, and it has nothing to do with my job

MAGELLAN AEROBRAKING PRESS BRIEFING SET FOR AUGUST 10

    From the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena,
Calif., Magellan program managers will brief the media on the
spacecraft's "aerobraking" experiment at 1 pm EDT, Tuesday,
August 10.

    The Magellan spacecraft's orbit around Venus has been
successfully changed from highly elliptical to nearly circular
in the first-of-a-kind experiment called aerobraking.

    The operation involved dipping the spacecraft into the
thin upper atmosphere of another planet, a risky maneuver
frequently mentioned in theory, but never actually performed
before.

    Aerobraking and its science benefits, including new
knowledge of the Venusian atmosphere, will be explained by a
Magellan panel with a question and answer period to follow.

    Presenters will include Project Managers Doug Griffith,
Project Scientist Steve Saunders and Deputy Mission Director
Ann Tavormina.  Also joining the group will be Dr. Gerald
Keating, a senior atmospheric research scientist from NASA's
Langely Research Center, Hampton, Va.

    This event will be carried on NASA Select television
(Satcom F-2R, Transponder 13, 72 degrees West longitude,
frequency 3960.0 MHz, audio 6.8 MHz).  Questions will be taken
from reporters at Headquarters and at NASA centers.  Magellan
aerobraking artwork will be available to the media through the
NASA Headquarters Audio/Visual Branch (202/358-1900) on Aug.
10.

I can't speak for the other NASA centers, but the Public Information Office
at JPL purchased a color scanner last year specifically to scan in the
public released photos and convert them to GIF images.  The Mars Observer
image is now available at the JPL ftp site (see my previous post).
I don't do the actual scanning, but I may prod the PIO people every
once in a while.

Subject: Planned BMDO test in Utah/New Mexico?
Newsgroups: sci.space

An unreliable source tells me the following:

BMDO (formerly SDIO) is planning a test in which missles will be
launched from the vicinity of Green River, Utah on a trajectory
landing them in White Sands Missle Range, New Mexico.  BMDO will
attempt to intercept/destroy them before impact at White Sands.  Spent
boosters from the launch will be dropped into the Hatch Point, Utah
area.




FYI:  Hatch Point is an area on the eastern rim of Canyonlands
National Park, south of Moab, north of Monticello, and west of La Sal
(and US highway 191).  It is Bureau of Land Management territory and
contains several campgrounds, open cattle range, some ranches, and a
network of jeep roads.  Seems like an unlikely drop area for spent
rocket stages to me.

Does anybody know anything reliable about this?  I find the concept
somewhat alarming but also implausible for several reasons.

I don't understand the question.  If you are inquiring what the "JPL
Universe" is, it is a in-house JPL newspaper that comes out every two weeks.
I post selected articles from the JPL Universe to this newsgroup.
The entire newspaper is available at the JPL ftp site (137.78.104.2).
If you are inquiring about what JPL has to do with the HST repair mission,
WFPC-2 was built by JPL.

I thought those big things on top that go round and round were called
rotary wings.
