DESCRIPTION
Nasa engineering and safety center (nesc) cross-program analysis and review of exploration systems directorate (esd) integrated vehicle modal test, model correlation, development flight instrumentation (dfi) and flight loads readiness. this assessment is envisioned to be a multi-year activity that spans the complete development of the space launch systems (sls) integrated vehicle structural dynamic models, and the development of the certification of flight readiness (cofr) for the exploration mission (em)-1 and em-2 vehicles and their variants. the proposed nesc team will be a combination of nasa civil servants and contractors with experience in the development and validation of structural dynamic models and loads environments from past commercial, military, and nasa launch vehicle programs, such as the atlas, delta, space shuttle, and numerous spacecraft programs. this task is a joint effort with the esd cross-program systems integration office and is co-led by a representative from that office. this review will take a cross-program approach to evaluate the different testing undertaken by the individual programs and will include examination of how the sum of the tests will support integrated system-level correlation and model validation. the review team is expected to identify concerns and gaps within these plans and schedules that affect the programs ability to support an integrated system verification loads analyses for em-1, em-2, and subsequent missions. the team is also expected to propose mitigations by test or analysis that address the concerns or gaps identified.

DESCRIPTION
Continuation of far term technology dashboard to support the aatt project. the advanced air transport technology (aatt) project s overarching goal is to explore and develop technologies and concepts to revolutionize the energy efficiency, environmental compatibility, and economic impact of fixed wing transport aircraft. to identify technology and vehicle solutions that meet the project s goals requires the use of system-level analysis with the appropriate level of fidelity to quantify feasibility, interdependencies between technologies, benefits, and degradations. prior work has resulted in a dashboard capability that estimates the benefits of aatt technologies on conventional tube and wing configurations. this provides the aatt project an ability to examine different scenarios and tradeoffs using an interactive environment that enables user defined technology scenarios to be selected with rapid estimates of benefits against metrics of interest such as fuel consumption, noise, and emissions. however, there is a need to extend this capability to understand the impact of unconventional configurations and technologies, such as hybrid-electric propulsion. there is also a need to update the baselines used to determine technology benefits to be more representative of new in-service aircraft. the major objective for the proposed research is to enhance the aatt technology dashboard by updating baseline reference vehicles and incorporating the evaluation of technologies on unconventional configurations. in addition, previously compiled information on aatt technologies will be updated as needed to ensure the complete technology database is current. studies and data resulting from nasa contract nnl13aa08b task order nnl17aa71t shall be the initial starting point for this task.
