l new advances since orion s crew module is larger the drogue chutes are deployed at a higher altitude to provide increased vehicle stability orion s parachute system was designed with crew safety in mind it can withstand the failure of either one drogue or one main parachute and it can ensure a secure landing in an emergency as witnessed during the successful pad abort 1 flight test before the crew actually flies in the vehicle the system will undergo additional tests to validate the design and demonstrate reliability the nasa johnson space center engineering directorate manages the parachute system development with design and testing support from the agency s contractor partners parachutes are designed and fabricated by airborne systems in santa ana california the mortars are provided through lockheed martin by general dynamics ordinance and tactical systems located in seattle washington and project management is performed by jacobs engineering s engineering science contract group in houston texas parachute system testing is performed at the u s army yuma proving ground in yuma arizona orion launch abort system test orion s launch abort system is designed to provide a safe reliable method to evacuate crewmembers in emergency situations mounted over the orion crew module the launch abort system will propel the module away from the rest of the vehicle if an abort is required the pad abort 1 flight test that occurred in may 2010 at new mexico s white sands missile range was the first in a series of planned in flight demonstrations of the three new solid rocket motors and parachute landing system and served as a successful pathfinder for orion system integration and ground operations procedures nasa celebrated a major milestone in the development of orion s launch abort system by completing ground tests of the system s full scale motors the three new solid propellant rocket motors an abort motor an attitude control motor and a jettison motor work to ensure crew safety when the launch abort system is activated during emergency operations the completion of the tests allowed for the 2010 demonstration of the entire launch abort system pad abort 1 in april 2008 the jettison motor became the first full scale rocket motor test for the orion crew exploration vehicle the jettison motor is a solid rocket motor designed to separate the launch abort system from the crew module on a normal launch and to safely propel the abort system away from the crew module during an emergency the static test firing was conducted by aerojet corporation in sacramento california in november 2008 nasa completed the 5 5 second ground test firing of the launch abort motor the abort motor will provide a half million pounds of thrust to lift the crew module off the launch vehicle pulling the crew away safely in the event of an emergency on the launch pad or during the first 300 000 feet of the rocket s climb to orbit the december 2009 attitude control motor test performed at atk s facility in elkton maryland was the sixth in a series of ground tests of orion s attitude control motor system the attitude control motor is charged with keeping the crew module on a controlled flight path after it jettisons steering it away from the launch vehicle in the event of an emergency and then reorienting the module for parachute deployment pad abort 1 test the launch abort system includes three new solid propellant motors which all performed flawlessly during pad abort 1 during the flight test operations the abort motor fi red with approximately 500 000 pounds of thrust to drive the crew module from the pad the attitude control motor fired simultaneously and provided the nearly 7 000 pounds of force required to maintain stability and vehicle trajectory propelling the launch abort system to a height of approximately one mile and the jettison motor separated the crew module from the launch abort system in preparation for parachute deployment sources nasa program of american s next generation spacecraft posted by niezam tagsee no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday may 21 2011

8 2006 the aviator wings were used to symbolize a naval custom called stepping the mast which dates from antiquity and consists of placing coins under the step or bottom of a ship s mast during construction one belief from greek mythology is that should the ship be wrecked during passage the coins would ensure payment of the crew s wages for their return home since at least the construction of uss constitution in the 1790s this tradition of placing coins or other items of significance has been passed on as a symbol of good luck for u s navy ships u s navy photo by mass communication
