NASA's Ares I Rocket Passes Review To Reach Critical Milestone

Sept. 10, 2008 Stephanie Schierholz/Grey Hautaluoma Headquarters, Washington 202-358-4997/0668 , June Malone Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala. 256-544-0034 RELEASE: 08-228 NASA'SARESI ROCKET PASSES REVIEW TO REACH CRITICAL MILESTONE HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- NASA has taken a major step toward building the nation's next generation launch vehicle with Wednesday's successful completion of theAresI rocket preliminary design review. Starting in 2015, theAresI rocket will launch the Orion crew exploration vehicle, its crew of four to six astronauts, and small cargo payloads to the International Space Station. The rocket also will be used for missions to explore the moon and beyond in the coming decades. The preliminary design review is the first such milestone in more than 35 years for a U.S. rocket that will carry astronauts into space. The review was conducted at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. It examined the current design for theAresI launch vehicle to assess that the planned technical approach will meet NASA's requirements for the fully integrated vehicle. That ensures all components of the vehicle and supporting systems are designed to work together. "This is a critical step for development of theAresI rocket," said Rick Gilbrech, associate administrator of the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate in Washington. "Completing the preliminary design review of the integrated vehicle demonstrates our engineering design and development are on sound footing, and theAresI design work is taking us another step closer to building America's next mode of space transportation." The preliminary design review included more than 1,100 reviewers from seven NASA field centers and multiple industry partners. The review is the final step of this design process. Teams representing each major part of theAresI rocket -- the upper stage engine, first stage and upper stage -- all have conducted similar reviews during the past year. The preliminary design review is one of a series of reviews that occurs before actual flight hardware can be built. As the review process progresses, more detailed parts of the vehicle design are assessed to ensure the overall system can meet all NASA requirements for safe and reliable flight. This process also identifies technical and management challenges and addresses ways to reduce potential risks as the project goes forward. "Risk assessment is a very important part of the process," said Steve Cook, manager of theAresI rocket at Marshall. "It allows us to identify issues that might impact theAresI rocket. For example, we identified thrust oscillation - vibration in the first stage - as a risk. In response to this issue, we formed an engineering team. The team conducted detailed analyses and reviewed previous test data, and then recommended options to correct the problem." "We intend to hold a limited follow-up review next summer to fully incorporate the thrust oscillation recommendations into the stacked vehicle design," Cook added. "Identifying risks that can impact the project and resolving them is a necessary and vital part of the development process." With the completion of this review, each element of theAresI rocket will move to the detailed design phase. A critical design review will mark the completion of the detailed design phase and allows for a more thorough review of each system element to ensure the vehicle design can achieve requirements of theAresprogram. This week, the J-2X engine will be the firstAresI element to kick off the critical design review process. The engine will power theAresI upper stage to orbit after separation from the first stage. "We're excited about getting into full system engine tests with the new J-2X engine," Cook said. "This will be one of the safest, most affordable and highest performing rocket engines ever built, and testing is critical as we begin preparation for future flights." Marshall manages theAresprojects and is responsible for design and development of theAresI rocket andAresV heavy cargo launch vehicle. NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston manages the Constellation Program, which includes theAresI rocket, theAresV vehicle, the Orion crew capsule and the Altair lunar lander. NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is responsible for ground and launch operations. The program also includes multiple project element teams at NASA centers and contract organizations around the U.S. For more information about theAresrockets, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/ares For more information about NASA's Constellation Program, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/constellation -end- Starting 2015? Is this a realistic forecast? Only 7 years left. Does anyone remember how long the first launch of the space shuttle was delayed? |

Have you read my new research proposal Mr. Innumerate Impotent American? Too bad you ain't got **** for 'exploring' anymore : http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ Good luck with the 'Moon'. Hahahaha hahaha hahaha! Smart people don't explore. They discover. |

I guess media indoctrination and a real ****ty education really does work to create an ignorant and malleable lower working slob class, who will believe almost anything you tell them, as long as you do it on the radio or on the television. Who could imagine.. Exhibit #1 is KT I am neither fat nor stupid, and I don't watch much television except for an occasional science documentary on History or National Geographic. You idiots just let your elected representatives shell out almost a trillion dollars for a bunch of Wall Street corrupt criminals, and then you stand by AND SAY NOTHING, when John Boehner, the piece of HUMAN **** from Ohio, INVOKES GOD on the house floor. http://boehner.house.gov/ **** your god, your messiah, and your so called book, John Boehner, you pathetic corrupt and incompetent excuse for an actual human being. And for 'God's Sake', read a modern book :http://www.arxiv.org Soon 'god' will set you assholes straight on how the universe works. I may not be that smart, but I'm not stupid.
