(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In the early decades of the Space Age, a great deal of work was put into the development of the Colloid Thruster as an electric propulsion system for spacecraft. In spite of the effort by the end of the 70s the programs ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The aim of system design is to define an optimal integration of components for the achievement of an overarching objective. As a result, engineering systems often cannot be designed with the disciplines meeting in isolation, ...

(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory [1973], 1973)This report reviews previous work on various measures for aviation noise, and proposes a completely new system for aviation noise measurement and control compatible with real time, operational noise monitoring hardware. ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Propulsion considerations unique to the supersonic oblique flying wing, including cycle selection, sizing, and integration were investigated via the development and interrogation of aerodynamic and propulsive synthesis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The noise emitted by commercial aircraft is a major inhibitor of the growth of commercial air transport and is a critical environmental issue in air transportation. A functionally-silent aircraft is envisioned to achieve ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis extends the work on a shared human and robotic mission to the Martian system presented at the Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts Academic Linkage (RASC-AL) 2010 competition by a team of MIT graduate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)If a micrometeoroid, a piece of space junk, launch debris, or a major system failure impacts the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), it can cause life-threatening damage. Past International Space Station (ISS) and Space Shuttle ...

Pseudoedge--a hierarchical skeletal modeler for the computer aided design of structural components (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
A pseudo-optimal control approach for a redundant degree-of-freedom in a gimbaled mechanical system (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Unaided inertial navigation systems of sufficient quality allow a missile or other body to navigate freely for potentially long periods of time. The use of four gimbals in such systems allows for elimination of large ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis presents a method for estimating transmitted variance to enable robust parameter design in computer simulations. This method is based on the Hermite-Gaussian quadrature for a single input. It is extended to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)On-orbit assembly is an enabling technology for many space applications. However, current methods of human assisted assembly are high in cost and risk to the crew. Thus, there is a desire to automate the on-orbit assembly ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis presents an approach for building a statistical model for the structural uncertainties in Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models. This approach solves an inference problem by comparing the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Past spaceflight experience has shown that astronauts adapt their motor control strategies to microgravity movements after approximately four weeks of microgravity exposure. A similar (but typically shorter) re-adaptation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Designing complex space systems that will deliver value in the presence of an uncertain future is difficult. As space system lifetimes are now measured in decades, the systems face increased risk from uncertain future ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Technology infusion and policy implementation bring impacts to the trade space of complex engineering systems. This work describes in detail the frameworks for quantitative analyses on these impacts, demonstrates their use ...
