Excerpt: One of the first devices to successfully employ the principles essential to rocket flight was a wooden bird. The writings of Aulus Gellius, a Roman, tell a story of a Greek named Archytas who lived in the city of Tarentum, now a part of southern Italy. Somewhere around the year 400 B.C., Archytas mystified and amused the citizens of Tarentum by flying a pigeon made of wood. Escaping steam propelled the bird suspended on wires. The pigeon used the action-reaction...
Excerpt: When we think of rockets, we rarely think of balloons. Instead, our attention is drawn to the giant vehicles that carry satellites into orbit and spacecraft to the Moon and planets. Nevertheless, there is a strong similarity between the two. The only significant difference is the way the pressurized gas is produced. With space rockets, the gas is produced by burning propellants that can be solid or liquid in form or a combination of the two. One of the interesti...
Excerpt: Rocket Engines and Their Propellants. Most rockets today operate with either solid or liquid propellants. The word propellant does not mean simply fuel, as you might think; it means both fuel and oxidizer. The fuel is the chemical the rocket burns but, for burning to take place, an oxidizer (oxygen) must be present. Jet engines draw oxygen into their engines from the surrounding air. Rockets do not have the luxury that jet planes have; they must carry oxygen wit...

Overview: InSPACE is a microgravity fluid physics experiment that will be performed on the International Space Station (ISS). The purpose of this investigation is to obtain fundamental data of the complex properties of an exciting class of smart materials termed magnetorheological (MR) fluids. MR fluids are suspensions of small (micron-sized) super paramagnetic particles in a nonmagnetic medium. These controllable fluids can quickly transition into a nearly solid like st...
Excerpt: Fiscal Year 2001 was a year of challenge and accomplishment for NASA. The Space Shuttle turned 20 as NASA launched a new initiative to find better and cheaper access to space, while facing new fiscal realities that could fundamentally change the way the Agency does business. As part of NASA?s implementation of the President?s Management Agenda, we are placing particular emphasis on efforts to improve financial management. NASA?s ability to continue to achieve gr...
