As the NASA Technical Fellow for Guidance, Navigation, and Control, I invite your participation in the GNC Community of Practice (CoP). Your comments and suggestions are welcome. Neil Dennehy Passive thermal control and thermal protection maintains vehicle and component temperatures within acceptable limits without the use of powered systems (with the exception of heaters) or pumped fluids. Passive Thermal (CoP) |
Loads and structural dynamics is a specialty branch of structural and mechanical engineering that deals with the determination of the vibration response of structures subjected to dynamic (time varying) forces. L&D Community of Practice (CoP) The Materials Technical Discipline Team (TDT) provides technical expertise for the resolution of Agency-wide issues related to materials and processes. |
NASA provided technical advice to the Chilean government based on the agency's long experience in protecting humans in the hostile environment of space. | The NESC Shell Buckling Knockdown Factor (SBKF) Project was established to develop and validate new analysis-based shell buckling design factors for Ares-I and Ares-V metallic and composite launch vehicle structures. The analysis makes use of improved "knockdown factors" that allow for a less conservative design. |
The NESC is offering regular webcasts lead by subject matter experts. These webcasts, a collaborative effort among subject matter experts, are a low-cost efficient solution for sharing technical knowledge. See the "Upcoming" tab for the schedule, session abstracts and speaker bios. See the "Recorded" tab to view the recorded webcasts available on-demand.
