200786172Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration c2007. Presumed First Edition First printing this. Single sticker sheet printed on both sides peal line is about one third up from the trangle's base. Very good. Michael Okuda. The format is an equilateral triangle with each side measuring approximately 5 inches. Rare surviving copy. One side is the ARES logo designed by Star Trek artist Michael Okuda. The other side has the following text: The Ares Projects The United States is leading the next phase of human Space exploration. The journey begins with two new launch vehicles--the Ares I crew launch vehicle and the Area V cargo launch vehicle--being developed by the Ares Projects managed out of NASA'a Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville Alabama. These launch vehicles were for missions to the International Space Station the Moon and beyond. The rockets are part of NASA's Constellation fleet which includes the Orion crew exploration vehicles a lunar lander habitats rovers and scientific equipment. Space exploration propelled by the area rockets promotes leading-edge science leads to innovative technologies and products expands economic opportunities and inspires the next generation of scientists and explorers. Star Trek artist Michael Okuda designed the Ares logo which will adorn both Ares I and Ares V. The Logo's 10 stars represent 10 NASA centers that ware working on the new vehicles. A bright star representing the Ares rocket ascends above Earth's outline depicted in the background. Michael Okuda is an American graphic designer known for his work on Star Trek including designing computer user interfaces known as "okudagrams". His work for NASA's Project Constellation subsequently canceled included logos for the Ares booster the Altair lunar lander and the Orion spacecraft. Ares I was the crew launch vehicle that was being developed by NASA as part of the Constellation program. The name "Ares" refers to the Greek deity Ares who is identified with the Roman god Mars. Ares I was originally known as the "Crew Launch Vehicle" CLV. NASA planned to use Ares I to launch Orion the spacecraft intended for NASA human spaceflight missions after the Space Shuttle was retired in 2011. Ares I was to complement the larger uncrewed Ares V which was the cargo launch vehicle for Constellation. NASA selected the Ares designs for their anticipated overall safety reliability and cost-effectiveness. However the Constellation program including Ares I was canceled by U.S. president Barack Obama in October 2010 with the passage of his 2010 NASA authorization bill. In September 2011 NASA detailed the Space Launch System as its new vehicle for human exploration beyond Earth's orbit. Unlike the Space Shuttle where both crew and cargo were launched simultaneously on the same rocket the plans for Project Constellation outlined having two separate launch vehicles the Ares I and the Ares V for crew and cargo respectively. Having two separate launch vehicles allows for more specialized designs for the crew and heavy cargo launch rockets. The Ares I rocket was specifically being designed to launch the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. Orion was intended as a crew capsule similar in design to the Apollo program capsule to transport astronauts to the International Space Station the Moon and eventually Mars. Ares I might have also delivered some limited resources to orbit including supplies for the International Space Station or subsequent delivery to the planned lunar base. NASA selected Alliant Techsystems the builder of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters as the prime contractor for the Ares I first stage. NASA announced that Rocketdyne would be the main subcontractor for the J-2X rocket engine on July 16 2007. NASA selected Boeing to provide and install the avionics for the Ares I rocket on December 12 2007. On August 28 2007 NASA awarded the Ares I Upper Stage manufacturing contract to Boeing. The upper stage of Ares I was to have been built at Michoud Aerospace Factory which was used for the Space Shuttle's External Tank and the Saturn V's S-IC first stage. The Ares V formerly known as the Cargo Launch Vehicle or CaLV was the planned cargo launch component of the canceled NASA Constellation program which was to have replaced the Space Shuttle after its retirement in 2011. Ares V was also planned to carry supplies for a human presence on Mars. The Ares V was to launch the Earth Departure Stage and Altair lunar lander for NASA's return to the Moon which was planned for 2019. It would also have served as the principal launcher for missions beyond the Earth-Moon system including the program's ultimate goal a crewed mission to Mars. The uncrewed Ares V would complement the smaller and human-rated Ares I rocket for the launching of the 4–6 person Orion spacecraft. Both rockets deemed safer than the then-current Space Shuttle would have employed technologies developed for the Apollo program the Shuttle program and the Delta IV EELV program.

CD is in a paper envelope with a clear plastic face. Good. This disc is marked UNCLASSIFIED and there are no dissemination limitation markings on the three text files contained therein. These files are Implementation Plan FY 2004 Rev. 1 9 pages Management Plan Rev 9 pages and Program Plan Version 4 37 pages includes some strike-out passages. Underground tests conducted by the Soviet Union continued until 1990 the United Kingdom until 1991 the United States until 1992 and both China and France until 1996. In signing the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996 these countries pledged to discontinue all nuclear testing; the treaty has not yet entered into force because of its failure to be ratified by eight countries. Non-signatories India and Pakistan last tested nuclear weapons in 1998. North Korea conducted nuclear tests in 2006 2009 2013 2016 and 2017. The most recent confirmed nuclear test occurred in September 2017 in North Korea. The 2022 NPR says that the United States continues to observe a moratorium on nuclear explosive testing. NNSA conducts subcritical i.e. those that do not produce a nuclear yield experiments and uses other tools to maintain stockpile reliability. The 2018 NPR stated that "the United States will not resume nuclear explosive testing unless necessary to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear arsenal." The 2022 NPR notes that the United States "maintains a nuclear explosive test readiness program in the event it is required to resolve technical uncertainties" but "does not envision or desire a return to nuclear testing." Underground nuclear testing is the test detonation of nuclear weapons that is performed underground. When the device being tested is buried at sufficient depth the nuclear explosion may be contained with no release of radioactive materials to the atmosphere. <br /> The extreme heat and pressure of an underground nuclear explosion causes changes in the surrounding rock. The rock closest to the location of the test is vaporized forming a cavity. Farther away there are zones of crushed cracked and irreversibly strained rock. Following the explosion the rock above the cavity may collapse forming a rubble chimney. If this chimney reaches the surface a bowl-shaped subsidence crater may form. The first underground test took place in 1951. Further tests soon led scientists to conclude that even notwithstanding environmental and diplomatic considerations underground testing was of far greater scientific value than all other forms of testing. This understanding strongly influenced the governments of the first three nuclear powers to sign of the Limited Test Ban Treaty in 1963 which banned all nuclear tests except for those performed underground. From then until the signing of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996 most nuclear tests were performed underground which prevented additional nuclear fallout from entering into the atmosphere.

200388264Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Defense Programs 2003. This may be a unique compilation. Survival status of content documents is unclear. CD in a paper envelope with clear plastic face. Very Good. This CD contains three files: Implementation Plan rev 1; Management Plan Rev. 3 and Program Plan Ver 4. These are draft documents and some pages show strike-outs. The first two are 9 pages each of which after the title and contents leave 7 pages of substance. The program plan is 37 pages and has graphics. From the Implementation Plan: The National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA is transitioning to a shorter test readiness posture. Since 1995 the NNSA has been required to maintain the capability to conduct an underground nuclear test within two to three years from receipt of the order. In FY2003 the NNSA began transitioning to an 18-month test readiness posture to be attained by September 30 2005. This Implementation Plan identifies the activities integration with other sites and programs and funding profile needed for the successful achievement of that objective. It defines associated risks to the schedule and scope of the program. More detail can be found in the Program Plan for Test Readiness. Funding is distributed from NNSA/Headquarters through the Nevada Site Office. The work is organized into five Major Technical Efforts MTEs each with its own MTE Manager. The MTE Manager is responsible for work integration across the participating organizations. The organizational Program Managers are responsible for accomplishing the work at their own organization. A more in-depth description of the management of this program can be found in the Management Plan for Test Readiness. From the Management Plan: The Test Readiness Program overall objective is to transition from the current 36-month to an 18-month nuclear test readiness posture by Sept. 30 2005. The Test Readiness Program is both cost and schedule constrained. Certain technical capabilities and knowledge foundations have not been exercised since the cessation of underground testing and must be re-established. The DOE/NNSA operating principles for the Test Readiness Program are to: Define an overall program governance structure; Solicit planning input from major participants NNSA Nevada Site Office NSO Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos or LANL Livermore National Laboratory Livermore or LLNL Sandia National Laboratories Sandia or SNL and Bechtel Nevada on overall strategy requirements technical objectives current as-is condition of test readiness and resource requirements to meet Presidential directive. Establish clear roles and responsibilities for the integrated program team; Ensure program/cross-project integration; Establish and manage to scope schedule and cost baselines; Focus on program and project execution success; and Control changes. Close coordination between NNSA Los Alamos Livermore Sandia and Bechtel Nevada is necessary to achieve the overall Test Readiness Program objective. The Test Readiness Management Team developed a specific Program Management Plan that provides an operational framework for the successful conduct of the program and its constituent projects. From the Program Plan: The program activities described within this document were identified in the Enhanced Test Readiness Cost Study DOE/NV-828 dated July 1 2002. That study confirmed the findings of other assessments and evaluations that found the longest-lead activities were updating the authorization basis producing replacement field test neutron generators and training technical staff on underground nuclear test-specific activities and diagnostics. The areas "Authorization Basis" and "Diagnostics & Training" comprise two of the five Major Technical Elements needed to achieve the enhanced test readiness posture. The others are: "Planning" "Facilities & Heavy Equipment" and "Operations". Building replacement field test neutron generators began in FY2002 and is funded under Operations. The highest risks for the program are associated with Authorization Basis and Diagnostics & Training. Authorization Basis requires resources that take a long time to train and are heavily used by other Stockpile Stewardship programs. Contracting out some of the work mitigates this. The personnel with underground nuclear test experience who will be needed for the success of Diagnostics & Training are retiring and otherwise becoming unavailable. Accomplishing those activities that require mentors before they leave will mitigate this. This program does not include Defense Threat Reduction Agency DTRA readiness interests beyond NNSA's traditional responsibilities to provide the nuclear source emplace detonate and diagnose the source device performance. Planning for DTRA source availability is addressed in the Major Technical Effort 1 Planning. The balance of NNSA responsibilities for Defense Threat Reduction Agency activities are common to NNSA underground testing and are maintained under NNSA test readiness. Finally it should be noted that this is a plan for test readiness not test execution. Test readiness addresses only those activities that are common to all tests but couldn't be conducted within the 18-month execution time frame. Support of activities to field a set of specific tests falls into the realm of test execution; and while test readiness resources would be used as needed the cost of test execution will require additional funds beyond the scope of test readiness.

200277513Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration c2002. Presumed First Edition First printing. Spiral bound. Very good. Format is approximately 11 inches by 8.5 inches. 30 pages plus covers. Maps. Footnotes. Illustrations many in color. Cover has slight wear and soiling. This document is a high-level synopsis of the full National Nuclear Security Administration's Applied Technology Roadmap. The larger document is the product of a collaborative effort by the NNSA and contractor representatives to the Applied Technology team. Representatives from all of the eight sites comprising the NWC as well as other NNSA staff from headquarters and several field offices participated in several workshops. The authors acknowledged a debt to the group that compiled the NNSA Applied Engineering Testing & Manufacturing Capabilities book. There were four pillars in the roadmap: Flexible Agile Manufacturing; Model-Based Design and Development; Responsive Integrated Enterprise; and Adaptable Knowledge-Enabled Workforce. The Nuclear Weapons Complex relies on the unique synergy created among the design laboratories and the production plants. The laboratories provide a strong science base while the production plants are capable of unmatched precision in producing a wide variety of materials components and assemblies. Together the laboratories and plants can transform a concept into specialized hardware to meet very demanding requirements. The complex thus created in a security environment for synthesizing and processing a wide variety of materials including hazardous and radioactive components. The Applied Technology Roadmap shows how the synergy of the NWC science and technologies base will be used to provide national defense for tomorrow. The most efficient way to support the nation is to build the 'pillars' formed from enabling technologies that rest upon the foundation of NWC capabilities capitalizing on existing and future investment in the NWC.

Significant Finding Investigations were addressed in DOE/IG-0535 Audit Report Management of the Stockpile Surveillance Program's Significant Finding Investigations December 2001. The Directors of the three nuclear weapons laboratories annually assess and report the condition of the weapon systems for which their laboratories are responsible. A critical event in this process is the identification of a defect or malfunction during surveillance testing. This is especially important when dealing with an aging weapons stockpile. Departmental procedures require preliminary tests or evaluations to establish whether a Significant Finding Investigation SFI should be initiated. Such investigations are then conducted to determine the identified problem's cause and impact and to recommend corrective actions. Weapons surveillance began in the US in the mid-1960s when weapons testing was done through underground explosions of nuclear devices. Such testing continued until the early 1990s. If tests on a weapon system show an anomaly - a possible problem with a part that could jeopardize the system operation - with a system evaluation engineer SEE is notified. It is the SEE's job to determine if the anomaly could affect the surety safe use or reliability of the weapon. If the SEE makes that determination he/she opens a "significant finding investigation SFI. The responsibility of the investigation team is to determine the cause and impact of the defect and to make recommendations for corrective actions.

Very good. ii 164 pages plus covers. This also has the logo of the United Space Alliance on the front cover. STS-135 ISS assembly flight ULF7 was the 135th and final mission of the American Space Shuttle program. It used the orbiter Atlantis and hardware originally processed for the STS-335 contingency mission which was not flown. STS-135 launched on July 8 2011 and landed on July 21 2011 following a one-day mission extension. The four-person crew was the smallest of any shuttle mission since STS-6 in April 1983. The mission's primary cargo was the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module MPLM Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier LMC which were delivered to the International Space Station ISS. The flight of Raffaello marked the only time that Atlantis carried an MPLM. This press kit covers the Space Shuttle History; STS-135 Mission Timeline Profile and Objectives; Mission Personnel; STS-135 Atlantis Crew; Payload Overview; Rendezvous and Docking; Spacewalks; STS-135 Experiments; Shuttle Reference Data; Launch & Landing; Acronyms & Abbreviations; Media Assistance; Public Affairs Contacts; and The Future. Although the mission was authorized it initially had no appropriation in the NASA budget raising questions about whether the mission would fly. On January 20 2011 program managers changed STS-335 to STS-135 on the flight manifest. This allowed for training and other mission specific preparations. On February 13 2011 program managers told their workforce that STS-135 would fly regardless of the funding situation via a continuing resolution. Until this point there had been no official references to the STS-135 mission in NASA documentation for the general public. During an address at the Marshall Space Flight Center on November 16 2010 NASA administrator Charles Bolden said that the agency needed to fly STS-135 to the station in 2011 due to possible delays in the development of commercial rockets and spacecraft designed to transport cargo to the ISS. "We are hoping to fly a third shuttle mission in addition to STS-133 and STS-134 in June 2011 what everybody calls the launch-on-need mission. and that's really needed to buy down the risk for the development time for commercial cargo" Bolden said. The mission was included in NASA's 2011 authorization which was signed into law on October 11 2010 but funding remained dependent on a subsequent appropriations bill. United Space Alliance signed a contract extension for the mission along with STS-134; the contract contained six one-month options with NASA in order to support continuing operations. The federal budget approved in April 2011 called for US$5.5 billion for NASA's space operations division including the shuttle and space station programs. According to NASA the budget running through September 30 2011 ended all concerns about funding the STS-135 mission. On July 21 2011 NASA hosted an employee appreciation event outside OPF-2 with Atlantis parked. Cheryl Hurst the director of education and external relations at KSC spoke first and invited Susan Lambert to lead the crowd with the American national anthem. A pledge of allegiance followed from KSC children and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and KSC Director Robert Cabana spoke to the shuttle program employees. During the event Rita Wilcoxson and Patricia Stratton were presented with highest NASA honors: the Distinguished Service Medal and the Distinguished Public Service Medal respectively. The citations on both were identical stating "for continuous outstanding leadership contributions provided to the nation's space shuttle program". A public "welcome home" ceremony was held for the crew at Houston's Ellington Field Hangar 990 on July 22. National Aeronautics and Space Administration unknown

The STS-135 Launch Salute was in honor of the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have devoted their time careers and passion over the previous 40 years to the success of the Space Shuttle Program and in remembrance of the Challenger and Columbia crews who paid the ultimate price we ask you to join and raise hands as you watch Atlantis ascend into the heavens during the final space shuttle launch. At ten seconds to liftoff stand up. at liftoff join and raise hands For first ten second of flight keep hands raised. With this gesture we convey the thanks of a grateful nation and world for the legacy of space exploration that has been set for the future. NASA continues preparations for the mission that everyone hopes will never be needed: the STS-335 flight to rescue the STS-134 crew in the event that Endeavour becomes disabled during the program’s planned final flight.

STS-126 was the only mission to land on the temporary runway 04 at Edwards Air Force Base as the main runway was completing refurbishment.
