TASK OVERVIEW

This task provides the required engineering support to the JSC Loads and Dynamics Branch (ES6) of the Structures Engineering Division (SED) in the areas for integrated dynamic analysis & testing capabilities necessary for docking systems, launch vehicles, and spacecraft. This includes development of an updated electro-mechanical Six degree-of-freedom Dynamic Test System (eSDTS) facility component/system models, and for the development of ascent loads and ascent abort loads capabilities. The primary objectives of this task are

(1) to maintain the current SDTS facility capabilities & develop the new eSDTS facility component and system models, support development and integration of docking system developer user provided docking system models, and to support integrated SDTS/docking system testing, model correlation, and analysis; (2) perform Independent Verification and Validation (IVV) or in-line tasks of Space Launch System (SLS) Launch vehicle, Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Module (MPCV) and Gateway Integrated Vehicle linear/non-linear modeling, couple loads analysis, vibro-acoustics/shock analysis, and testing; and (3) provide Day of Launch (DOL) Vehicle Load Indicator (VLI) software tool development, maintenance, simulation, input tool data creation, IVV, and testing. Tasks associated to each specific component are listed below which must comply with all applicable project requirements and JSC Quality approved facility classification upgrade requirements.
