Cape Canaveral

Unfortunately these variables and problems exist in all industries. As an example a major situation occurred that was catastrophic in the aerospace industry. (Nothing is perfect on earth.) The Challenger shuttle spacecraft exploded 28 January 1986 above Cape Canaveral, FL. (Fig. 8-79)... 

At the U.S. Department of Defense s (DOD s) Cape Canaveral Air Station in Florida, 68,200 kg of potassium permanganate were injected into the subsurface to treat TCE contamination. The overall cost of this demonstration was 1,010,764. The overall costs included planning, permits, reports, mobilization, deployment, performance, monitoring, and project management (D22096C, pp. 1, 2). 

An Iron Curtain was installed at Cape Canaveral Air Station in 1997. The wall was installed in 8 days by jetted beam and continuous jet grouting techniques. According to the vendor, approximately 120 tons of zero-valent iron filing slurry were injected at a cost of 190,000. Total project cost for design, oversight, and installation was 250,000 (D21474E, p. 6). 

The technology was used at the Cape Canaveral Air Station in Florida to treat 10,000 tons of soil contaminated with PCBs and trichloroethene (TCE). The vendor states that the cost of this full-scale apphcation was less than 120 per ton (D22659P, p. 6).

No account is taken in the thunderstorm day statistic of the number of times thunder is heard, nor the number of discrete thunderstorm events per thunderstorm day. Figure 16 illustrates the number of thunderstorm days recorded in the USA, and showing an excess of 100 such days in the St. Petersburg to Orlando region of Florida with a value of about 80 at Cape Canaveral. 

As an example, let us consider a 260 foot or 80 m tower at Cape Canaveral. Table 2 gives the attractive radius as 310 m and Table 3 indicates an average value of. 16 for the ratio of triggered to natural lightning. The incidence of flashes to ground at the Cape has been shown in Table 1 to be 4. 7/km. Thus, the annual incidence of natural lightning to the tower should be,, ...

Because of its location on Matanzas Bay at St. Augustine, Florida, Castillo is subject to the effects of sea spray carried down in precipitation falling along the Florida seashore. In our study we have chosen representative precipitation compositions (Table 1) taken from NADP reports for Everglades National Station and Cape Canaveral, Florida [j6]. 

A second successful U.S. comet mission was Deep Space 1, launched from Cape Canaveral on October 24, 1998. Its principal goal was to test a variety of new space technologies. It completed this primary mission in Septemher 1999. The spacecraft s mission was then extended to include a flyby of Comet Borrelly, which it accomplished on Septemher 22, 2001. Deep Space 1 sent hack black and white photographs of the comet, infrared spectrometer readings, ion and electron data, and measurements of the magnetic held and plasma waves in the vicinity of the comet. 

Some hydrogen supporters feel that, in view of the complexity of rocket technology, NASA s experience may not be very relevant to the everyday safety problems likely to be posed by a future civilian hydrogen economy. Still, it is noteworthy that NASA has used and handled stupendous amounts of LH2, most of it hauled by barge and tanker-trailer over hundreds of miles to Cape Canaveral and other sites.

On April 30,1999, at 12 30 EDT, a Titan IV B-32 booster equipped with a Centaur TC-14 upper stage was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The mission was to place a Milstar-3 satellite into geosynchronous orbit. Milstar is a joint services satellite communications system that provides secure, jam-resistant, worldwide communications to meet wartime requirements. It was the most advanced military communications satellite system to that date. The first Milstar satellite was launched February 7,1994, and the second was launched November 5,1995. This mission was to be the third launch. 

As a result of some anomalous events, the Milstar satellite was placed in an incorrect and unusable low elliptical final orbit, as opposed to the intended geosynchronous orbit. Media interest was high because this mishap was the third straight Titan IV failure and because there had been recent failures of other commercial space launches. In addition, this accident is believed to be one of the most costly unmanned losses in the history of Cape Canaveral Launch Operations. The Milstar satellite cost about 800 milUon, and the launcher an additional 433 million. 

LMA designed and developed the flight control software, while Honeywell was responsible for the Inertial Measurement System (IMS) software. This separation of control, combined with poor coordination, accounts for some of the problems that occurred. Analex was the independent verification and validation (IV V) contractor, while Aerospace Corporation provided independent monitoring and evaluation. Ground launch operations at Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS) were managed by the Third Space Launch Squadron (3SLS). 

Control Algorithm Flaws After the ground launch personnel cutbacks, SSLS management did not create a master surveillance plan to define the tasks of the remaining personnel (the formal insight plan was still in draft). In particular, there were no formal processes established to check the validity of the II filter constants or to monitor attitude rates once the flight tape was loaded into the INU at Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS) prior to launch. SSLS launch personnel were provided with no documented requirement or procedures to review the data and no references with which to compare the observed data in order to detect anomalies.
