» Introduction to InsideKSC.com |
Good day and welcome aboard InsideKSC.com, your portal to the operations and activities at the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, located at Merritt Island and Cape Canaveral, Florida!
This latest incarnation of InsideKSC.com is still under massive development but features cutting edge technology from vbulletin. This adaptive functionality allows a greater "community" feel for the discussion of news and current events at KSC / CCAFS as well as for the posting and distribution of a wide variety of multimedia related to current and previous manned and unmanned spaceflight missions!
Please note that a great deal of the functionality and content of this website DOES NOT appear UNLESS you register. Indeed, when our work is complete, once you log in the entire website will automatically update to reflect your level of access and forums which appear empty will become populated with tremendous content.
Take an opportunity now and register an account with us but PLEASE be patient over the next few months as we finalize the site design and start to bring online gigabytes of documentation and video for your enjoyment!

Ares I Engineers Believe They Have Fix For Thrust Oscillation Problem
 Ares I engineers are scheduled to present their final recommendation this week on fixing a potentially dangerous thrust oscillation on the new crew launch vehicle. “Conservative” analysis last year predicted potentially dangerous vibrations in the Orion cabin triggered by harmonic vibrations across the stack in the final few seconds that the solid-fuel first stage is burning.
After considering mounting the first-stage recovery parachutes on springs to “detune” the stack, the engineering team assigned to tackle the problem has settled on an approach designed to minimize changes to the Orion vehicle by handling almost all of the vibration in the first stage. The earlier approach also would have required changes to the seat suspensions in the Orion cabin to reduce vibrations experienced by crew members.
