Vector Cardiograph Experiment in Space Shuttle

The Vector cardiography is the 3 dimensional study of Electrocardiographic responses of the human heart. A Vector cardiograph (VCG) instrument was designed and developed to monitor the Cardiographic responses of the Indian payload specialist under zero G conditions in the US Space Shuttle during the scheduled INSAT-lC launch. Accordingly the proposal made by Department of Space for using the ve...

Mace Ii: a Space Shuttle Experiment for Investigating Adaptive Control of Flexible Spacecraft

This paper presents an overview of the Middeck Active Control Experiment Flight II (MACE II). MACE is a space shuttle flight experiment designed to investigate modeling and control issues for achieving high precision pointing and vibration control of future spacecraft. MACE was developed by NASA Langley Research Center, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Payload Systems, Inc. The ex...

Modeling the Space Shuttle

We summarize our methodology for modeling space shuttle processing using discrete event simulation. Why the project was initiated, what the overall goals were, how it was funded, and who were the members of the project team are identified. We describe the flow of the space shuttle flight hardware through the supporting infrastructure and how the model was created to accurately portray the space...

Redundancy Management Technique for Space Shuttle Computers

This paper describes how a set of off-the-shelf general purpose digital computers is being managed in a redundant avionic configuration while performing flight-critical functions for the Space Shuttle. The description covers the architecture of the redundant computer set, associated redundancy design requirements, and the technique used to detect a failed computer and to identify this failure o...
