LIST OF OTHER SEE ACTIVITIES:

Spread Spectrum Received Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Test Guide

Organization:  Georgia Tech Research Institute
Principal Investigator:  M.L. Wheeler

Objectives:  The objective of this test guide is to document appropriate unit level test methods and techniques for the performance of EMI testing of Direct Sequence (DS) spread spectrum receivers.

Objectives:  To investigate whether capacitor voltage ratings need to be derated for expected spike potentials. Concerns had been voiced in the past by NASA suppliers that MIL-STD-461 CS06-like requirements were overly harsh and led to physically large capacitors.

Objectives:  To present information for understanding and mitigating the potential hazards associated with de-mating and mating powered electrical connectors on space flight vehicles.

LEO Spacecraft Charging Design Guidelines

Organization:  Glenn Research Center
Principal Investigators:  Dale Ferguson, Barry Hilliard

Objectives:  Develop and publish a LEO Spacecraft Charging Guidelines Document

Structures and Materials Knowledgebase

Organization:  CAT Services, SEE Program
Principal Investigators:  Larry J. Bradford, Michael Fling, Jody Minor
Status:  Alpha Version Completed;  This activity has been put on hold indefinitely.

Objectives: 

• Development of a comprehensive materials knowledgebase of thin-film materials and ultra-lightweight structures to support NASA’s scientific and technological needs;

• Single location for data on existing, in-development and research materials and adhesives;

• Materials data, manufacturing methods, materials processing and joining technologies included;

• Knowledgebase will be upgradeable to include additional materials.
