% Ulysses continues to gather information as it reaches highest latitude;
% The Hubble Telescope makes new discoveries.
Launched by the Space Shuttle Discovery in October of 1990,the Ulysses
spacecraft has entered unexplored regions of the solar system as it crossed
into the highest latitude ever achieved relative to the sun's equator of more
than 32 degrees.
According to NASA project scientist for the mission, Dr. Edward Smith, the
Ulysses spacecraft is gathering information about the sun and its environment
as it continues toward the sun's southern pole..
Ulysses and its instruments are in excellent condition. And as a result of
joint efforts from the NASA-ESA mission operations team and NASA's Deep Space
Network , data coverage since launch has been consistently close to 100
percent.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has made some recent discoveries. Astronomers
working with the telescope have announced results of a major step to measure
the Hubble Constant and the age of the universe.
Astronomers have discovered pulsating stars that become alternately brighter
and fainter with periods ranging from 10 to 50 days or Cepheids. Because the
distance of these stars can be measured by their luminous power, astronomers
conclude the spiral galaxy M81 to be 11 million light years with a 10 percent
uncertainty in this result. Previous research claimed the galaxy's distance to
be from 4.5 to 18 million light years.
The age of the Universe can be estimated from the Hubble Constant which is the
ratio of the recession velocities of galaxies to their distances in the
expanding universe. Research estimates the age of the universe to lie between
10 and 20 billion years.
NASA's Hubble Telescope has also discovered a group of stars that has had their
outer gas layers cannibalized by other passing stars. This results in stellar
"naked cores" with surface temperatures five times hotter than the Earth's sun.
These stars are found deep in the core of M15, one of the densest globular
clusters known. A globular cluster is several hundred thousand stars held
together by each other's gravity. If the cluster is exceptionally dense, the
strong gravitational attraction could strip other stars of their outer layers.
The Hubble Telescope made this discovery because it can resolve stars at the
dense core of M15 and the telescope is sensitive to ultraviolet light and can
distinguish the hot stars from the surrounding cooler stars. Researchers plan
to use Hubble to try and locate these type of stars elsewhere as well.

MARSHALL CENTER TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECTS
WATER WINDOW IMAGING X-RAY MICROSCOPE
NASA Technology: Doubly reflecting, normal incidence, multilayer Optical
systems for x-ray imaging
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Stanford University
Baker Consulting
Description:
The "water window" is a narrow band of the x-ray spectrum where water is
relatively transparent and carbon is highly absorptive. Operating within that
wavelength regime, the Water Window Imaging X-ray Microscope will make it
possible to investigate carbon structures, and possibly even observe the
motions of these structures, within the aqueous environment of living cells.
Working through a Technology Utilization applications project, a Marshall
Center scientist is developing a prototype microscope. Patents have been
issued to NASA and private sector interest in licensing the product has already
surfaced although final tests to prove the concept are not expected until 1993.
The microscope, if it proves successful, is expected to have a tremendous
impact on cell biology and genetic engineering possibly providing clues to the
fundamental nature of life.
Benefits: Humanitarian benefits from new advances in cell biology and
perhaps even understanding the dynamics of cancer growth.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
WHEELCHAIR IMPROVEMENTS
NASA Technology: Composites and Structural Design
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
Research Triangle Institute
Easter Seal Society
Description:
A problem statement initiated by the Easter Seal Society resulted in a Marshall
Center TU Office sponsored project to design a softer ride for wheelchairs and
a project to design a racing wheelchair using composite materials. Doug
Kennedy, a nationally known wheelchair racer, agreed to participate in the
"Wheelchair suspension" project. As a result of discussions with contractor
and MSFC laboratory personnel, Kennedy and MSFC and Contractor personnel
started a separate project to redesign Kennedy's aluminum frame racing chair
using a composites. The chair has been tested in one 10K race and, after
additional fine tuning, will be used in an international race. Representatives
from the wheelchair industry have requested new information and believe that
the composite design may be incorporated in regular chairs as well as racing
chairs.
Benefits: Lighter weight wheelchairs with softer rides.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
THERMAL CURTAIN FOR FOOD CART
NASA Technology: Shuttle External Tank Insulation
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
Martin Marietta
United Service Equipment Company (USECO)
Description:
The United Service Equipment Company in 1990 expressed the need for a
technology to use in manufacture of a Unitray Delivery Cart to maintain the
heated side of their food cart at 140-275 F, and at the same time the cooled
side at 34-40 F. An arrangement was established between USECO and Martin
Marietta Manned Space Systems in New Orleans (MMMSS). Martin investigated
concepts utilizing Space Shuttle External Tank thermal protection materials and
manufacturing processes to maintain the desired environment. A new thermal
curtain was designed for the food cart, was successfully tested and shows
product improvement by several factors.
Benefits:
Improved private sector industrial product. Potential use for the
technology in other products. Potential international sales.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
ROBOTICS SIMULATION
NASA Technology: Advanced Robotic Simulations
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
Vanderbilt University
Description:
The first robotic systems for use in the space program were developed by
producing expensive engineering prototype hardware systems. The result was
high development costs. To reduce these costs, graphic simulation of robots
and their control systems was envisioned. ROBOSIM, a joint project of the
Marshall Space Flight Center and Vanderbilt University, was developed to
simulate robotics graphically on a personal computer, reducing the cost and
opening use of the robotics software to a much wider audience. Experimental
use in the classroom at Vanderbilt and other institutions has shown that
ROBOSIM can greatly enhance the teaching of courses in robotics and advanced
automation at the undergraduate and graduate levels. A proposal is being
prepared to distribute ROBOSIM to approximately 335 colleges, universities and
engineering schools in the U.S. which currently offer courses in robotics. If
fully distributed, a user base of 10,000 students per year is possible.
Currently, high quality hands-on robotics courses are available at only a
selected few institutions. ROBOSIM is available in PC format making it
affordable for smaller schools.
Benifits: Increases U.S. technology base by making hands-on robotic
simulation more widely available to the academic community.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
NEW AND INNOVATIVE PROSTHETIC DEVICES FOR BELOW THE ELBOW AMPUTEES
NASA Technology: Creative and Innovative Engineering
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
Fourroux Orthotics & Prosthetics
Jim Carden, amputee
Ms. Amie Bradley, amputee
Description:
When Jim Carden, a retired MSFC engineer, lost his hand in a home shop
accident, he discovered that the conventional harness cable-operated harness
and hook available on the market did not allow him to continue even near normal
activities. Several engineer friends at Marshall began to investigate and,
under the auspices of the TU Office, formed an Applications Engineering group
to investigate ways to improve Carden's situation. Mrs. Amie Bradley, Arab,
Alabama, later joined the group. Custom made sockets, or sleeves which fit
over the lower arm and accept various attachments, or modalities, were
prepared. These include attachments for fishing, holding carpentry nails,
holding nail polish brushes and hair curlers, using a chain saw, gripping pots
and pans in the kitchen and many others. The team is currently searching for a
manufacturer to mass produce the items.
Benifits: Improved lifestyles for amputees and restoring them to more
normal functions.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
OCULAR SCREENING SYSTEM
NASA Technology: Image Analysis and Processing Techniques
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
Vision Research Corporation
Description:
Using technology developed during the Skylab program, a camera based system was
developed in the 1980's which allows young children to be quickly screened for
a wide range of eye problems. The system was developed under a NASA Marshall
Space Flight Center sponsored applications engineering project. It requires no
response from the child being tested and is as fast as taking a photograph,
allowing relatively inexpensive screening of large groups. The system captures
a highly-detailed image of the eyes which is then analyzed for a wide range of
problems. It is recognized as one of the best methods to screen pre-verbal and
early verbal patients. The system was patented in 1987 and a license issued by
NASA. The original firm was later acquired by Vision Research Corporation which
currently markets the system. Dozens of the OSS-C Ocular Screening Systems are
already in clinical use.
Benifits: Improved low cost health care for children, especially those
who cannot verbalize their problems.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
LIGHTNING DETECTION AND LOCATION NETWORK
NASA Technology: Lightning Location Network
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
Baron Services, Inc.
Description:
A method has been developed by Baron Services to convert lightning data
transmitted over telephone lines to be usable for television transmission and
viewing. It provides extremely accurate realtime information for tornado and
other severe storm identification and tracking. Lightning location and
protection network originally developed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
In recently developed "OmniWxNet" (Omni-Weather-Net) realtime lightning data is
combined with realtime Doppler radar information provides a sophisticated tool
for meteorologists. Baron Services has marketed the system to several local
users and expects to develop national markets.
Benefits: Improved weather data for general public, high tech test
programs, emergency management teams, etc.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
LASER WELD BEAD TRACKING SYSTEM
NASA Technology: Space Shuttle Welding System
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
Martin Marietta Manned Space Systems (MMMSS)
Applied Research, Inc. (ARI)
Copeland Industries
Description:
Technology developed at the Marshall Center for welding components of the
External tank involves an automatic system using a laser sensor to "look" at
the seam where two pieces of metal are to be joined. The laser senses minute
variations and misalignments and transmits the information through an
industrial computer to the weld head. The resulting weld bead is as near
perfect as possible. The use of the system in the private sector industrial
environment was proven through a project with the Copeland Corporation, which
produces air conditioner compressors, up to 1,200 units per shift. The system
proved successful in the Copeland plant which is considering use of the system.
ARI, which is marketing the system, has also reported a sale to an industry in
Colorado.
Benefits:
Welding operations, especially those which involve pressure vessels or
other products which must resist incursion by air or water, can benefit.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
FLEXIBLE AGRICULTURAL ROBOTIC MANIPULATOR SYSTEM (FARMS)
NASA Technology: Robotics, Automation, End-Effector Technology
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
University of Georgia
Oglevee's, Inc.
Description:
FARMS is a cooperative project to produce an automated system to perform
handling and processing of plant material in the nursery and greenhouse
industry. The industry is extremely labor intensive due to delicate nature of
many plants and shoots. Goal of the project is to develop a system for
processing of live plant material. The Marshall portion of the project is
development of a gripper/end effector and the controlling software. The
overall system is provided by Oglevee's, a large greenhouse firm, and the
testing environment and test cell setup is under the auspices of the University
of Georgia. The Marshall Center end effector/ controller determines
orientation, picks up the small cutting using predetermined pressure, and
measures the diameter and mass of the cutting. Currently, testing has been
completed and feasibility studies are underway to investigate the feasibility
of a production model for the commercial market. The potential also exists for
use of the end effector in automated systems involving thin wires and other
delicate operations.
Benefits: Automation in delicate operations usually requiring hands-on
manhours.
TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION PROJECT
EMERGENCY VEHICLE ALERT SYSTEM
NASA Technology: Sensors, signal processing, electronics
Participants:
Marshall Space Flight Center
Gallaudet College (Hearing Impaired)
Applied Research Inc.
Description:
The Emergency Vehicle Alert System (EVAS) is an applications engineering
project of the Marshall Center TU Office. It involves the development of a
limited range transmitter to be mounted on emergency vehicles and a small
receiver in private automobiles. The purpose is to alert drivers, especially
hearing impaired, that an emergency vehicle, or other type vehicle which might
present a driving hazard, is near. The display would provide the location and
type of the emergency vehicle. The direction of the emergency vehicle is
computed and the display indicates to the driver that the emergency vehicle is
in front, behind or to either side. It could also prove useful to warn drivers
of construction, postal delivery, garbage collection, farm implement and other
large and slow moving vehicles. Prototype systems have been assembled and are
presently in the testing stage.
Benefits: Increased facilities for the handicapped.

MIXED FLEET MANIFEST NOTES
O THIS MANIFEST SERVES AS THE BASELINE FOR PLANNING PURPOSES. IT INCLUDES
PAYLOAD FLIGHT ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE SPACE SHUTTLE THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 1995
AND NASA EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE (ELV) MISSIONS THROUGH FY 1999.
NOTE: THE FY 96-99 SHUTTLE MANIFEST PLANNING IS OMITTED PENDING SPACE
STATION REDESIGN. THE PLAN UNDER REVIEW ASSUMES A FLIGHT RATE OF EIGHT
FLIGHTS PER YEAR.
O SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH DATES ARE SHOWN BY MONTH AND/OR QUARTER AND REPRESENT
REASONABLE EXPECTATION AS TO WHEN THE LAUNCH WILL OCCUR; HOWEVER IN MOST
CASES, NASA'S INTERNAL PLANNING WILL BE AGAINST EARLIER LAUNCH DATE
TARGETS.
O PRIMARY AND COMPLEX SECONDARY SPACE SHUTTLE PAYLOAD FLIGHT ASSIGNMENTS ARE
BASELINED IN THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM CONTROL DOCUMENTATION APPROXIMATELY
17 MONTHS PRIOR TO LAUNCH. OTHER SECONDARY PAYLOAD ASSIGNMENTS ARE
NORMALLY BASELINED 8 TO 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO LAUNCH. NOTE: ONCE BASELINED,
THE FLIGHT NUMBERS ARE MAINTAINED WITH THE PRIMARY PAYLOAD; THESE
BASELINED FLIGHTS MAY NOT REMAIN IN NUMERICAL ORDER WITH SUBSEQUENT
MANIFEST CHANGES.

GALILEO
MISSION DIRECTOR STATUS REPORT
POST-LAUNCH
May 28 - June 3, 1993
SPACECRAFT
1. On May 31, cruise science Memory Readouts (MRO) were performed for the
Magnetometer (MAG) instrument. Preliminary analysis indicates the data was
received properly.
2. On June 1, at the beginning of the DSS-63 (Madrid 70 meter antenna) pass,
the CDU (Command Data Unit) lock count had unexpectedly increased 2 DN from its
previous value the day before. This change apparently occurred between the
DSS-63 end of track on May 31 and the DSS-63 beginning of track on June 1.
3. On June 1, a NO-OP command was sent to reset the command loss timer to 264
hours, its planned value for this mission phase.
4. On June 1, cruise science Memory Readouts (MROs) were performed for the
Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer (EUV) and Dust Detector (DDS) instruments.
Preliminary analysis indicates the data was received properly.
5. On June 2 and 3, Attitude and Articulation Control Subsystem (AACS)
calibration data was collected on the spin detector, gyros, wobble, spin
bearing assembly drag, and accelerometers.
6. On June 3, a Delayed Action Command (DAC) was transmitted which will turn
ranging on Friday, June 4, 1993. This command was sent to support checkout of
new ground hardware and software modifications at DSS-14 (Goldstone 70 meter
antenna).
7. The AC/DC bus imbalance measurements have not exhibited significant change
(greater than 25 DN) throughout this period. The AC measurement reads 19 DN
(4.3 volts). The DC measurement reads 143 DN (16.8 volts). These measurements
are consistent with the model developed by the AC/DC special anomaly team.
8. The Spacecraft status as of June 3, 1993, is as follows:
a) System Power Margin - 70 watts
b) Spin Configuration - Dual-Spin
c) Spin Rate/Sensor - 3.15rpm/Star Scanner
d) Spacecraft Attitude is approximately 28 degrees
off-sun (lagging) and 2 degree 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, 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 High Gain Antenna (HGA) downlink test mini-sequence was approved by the
Project on June 3, 1993. This mini-sequence covers spacecraft activities from
June 22 to June 25, 1993.
GDS (Ground Data Systems):
1. Galileo participated in a successful MOSO System Test of MGDS V18.1 Command
on May 27, using DSS-42 (Canberra 34 meter antenna). Galileo was able to
translate, interact with the MOSO PDB, transmit to the CPA (Command Processor
Assembly), and radiate command files. Monitor 5-9 data was displayed and
appeared correct. Monitor 5-15 data were not tested; the DSN (Deep Space
Network) NOCC (Network Operations Control Center) upgrade to support the
Galileo interface is scheduled for June 7. The MOSO Functional Area and System
Test Reviews (FATR/STR) for MGDS Command V18.1 is scheduled for June 15, 1993.
TRAJECTORY
As of noon Thursday, June 3, 1993, the Galileo Spacecraft trajectory
status was as follows:
Distance from Earth 287,221,300 km (1.92 AU)
Distance from Sun 341,692,100 km (2.29 AU)
Heliocentric Speed 80,000 km per hour
Distance from Jupiter 475,188,300 km
Round Trip Light Time 32 minutes, 2 seconds
SPECIAL TOPIC
1. As of June 3, 1993, a total of 70364 real-time commands have been
transmitted to Galileo since Launch. Of these, 65252 were initiated in the
sequence design process and 5112 initiated in the real-time command process.
In the past week, two real time commands were transmitted; one was initiated in
the sequence design process and one initiated in the real-time command process.
Major command activities included commands to reset the command loss timer and
to turn ranging on.

USO (Ultra Stable Oscillator) test. Real-time commands were sent to update the
acquisition sensor parameters. A tape recorder conditioning activity was also
performed. Delta DOR (Differential One-way Range) passes were performed over
DSS-14 (Goldstone 70 meter antenna) and DSS-63 (Madrid 70 meter antenna), and
DSS-14 and DSS-43 (Canberra 70 meter antenna). Tracking was scheduled over
DSS-63, DSS-14 and DSS-43.
Today, June 8, 1993, a HIC (Heavy Ion Counter) engineering memory readout
is being performed. Tracking is scheduled over DSS-14, DSS-43 and DSS-63.
