WHAT'S NEW
Satellite Contamination and
Materials Outgassing Knowledgebase
- This
knowledgebase is the combination of ASTM E1559 and Space QCM flight data databases providing the coordination of
tested materials properties to effects observed in flight. (public domain)
Earth Global Reference
Atmospheric Model (Earth-GRAM 2010) -
Global model, using empirical database, giving density, temperature, pressure,
winds, and selected atmospheric constituent concentrations, from the surface of
the Earth to orbital altitudes, as a function of geographic position and time of
year. Local perturbations about mean conditions are also included. Model is also
suitable for use as a subroutine in a trajectory code or orbit propagator
program or other programs used for simulations of in-flight or on-orbit
atmospheric variability in density, temperature, or winds.
Mars Global Reference Atmospheric Model
(Mars-GRAM 2010) -
Mars Global Reference Atmospheric Model (Mars-GRAM) is an engineering-level
atmospheric model, widely used for diverse
mission
applications. Applications include systems design, performance analysis, and
operations planning for aerobraking, entry descent and landing, and aerocapture.
From 0-80 km altitude, Mars-GRAM is based on NASA Ames Mars General Circulation
Model (MGCM), while above 80 km it is based on Mars Thermospheric General
Circulation Model (MTGCM). Mars-GRAM and MGCM use surface topography from Mars
Global Surveyor Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter (MOLA), with altitudes referenced
to the MOLA constant potential surface (areoid). (public domain)
Venus Global Reference
Atmospheric Model (Venus-GRAM 2005)) - Marshall Space
Flight Center’s Natural Environments Branch has developed Global Reference
Atmospheric Models (GRAMs) for Mars, Venus, Earth, and other solar system
destinations. Venus-GRAM is based on the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR)
Venus International Reference Atmosphere (VIRA), and is suitable for a variety
of engineering applications at all attitudes, locations, and times within the
atmosphere of Venus. (public domain)
Lunar E-Libraryy -
This DVD knowledgebase contains 1100 (.PDF) items with an
emphasis on documents produced during the Apollo/Saturn era.
Full text is available for 870 documents, and abstracts with
source information are included for 230 documents that are
copyrighted or limited distribution materials.
NASA/Air Force Spacecraft
Charging Analyzer Program (NASCAP-2K)
Electronic Propulsion
Interactions Code (EPIC)) - EPIC is an interactive computer
toolset that allows the construction of a 3-D spacecraft model
and the assessment of a variety of interactions between its
subsystems and the plume from an electric thruster.
