Public award description
THE FLIGHT FORCE MEASUREMENT (FFM) PROJECT IS AN NESC SPONSORED TASK TO DIRECTLY MEASURE SIX COMPONENTS OF FORCE (3 FORCES AND THREE MOMENTS) ON A PAF USED ON DELTA II LAUNCH VEHICLES. THIS INFORMATION IS NEEDED TO UPDATE OR IMPROVE THE ESTIMATED LOADING ENVIRONMENT FOR PAYLOADS LAUNCHED ON THESE VEHICLES TO DEVELOP HIGHER FIDELITY COUPLED LOADS ANALYSIS (CLA). THIS ANALYSIS IS USED TO SET PRE-LAUNCH TESTING PARAMETERS FOR THE PAYLOADS. THEREFORE, MORE ACCURATE TESTING WILL HELP TO ENSURE THE TESTING IS PERFORMED AS EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE. THE PAF HAS NEVER BEEN INSTRUMENTED FOR FORCE MEASUREMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP THE INSTRUMENTATION LAYOUT, STATIC TEST PLAN AND CHARACTERIZE THE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TO ENSURE THE MOST ACCURATE FORCE MEASUREMENTS CAN BE OBTAINED ON THE PAF WITHOUT PHYSICALLY MODIFYING THE PAF OTHER THAN ADDING STRAIN GAGES.
