Technology has been part of our lives and it helped us enrich our lives and create a better place to live in and ensured a safer environment. The advanced technology helped us achieve a lot of great invention and guided us to look into the sky . We started looking into visting other planets and install new technologies in space that helped make our lives much easier . But to get to space we need to manufacture space crafts that will carry us to new heights and enable us to reach new things . To manufacture a space craft there are a lot of techniques and specifications that need to be considered and met , in addition the techniques changed over time .
A space craft is a special kind of vehicle equipped with a lot of equipment that make it functional in space . “Every space craft has to have some essential system some of those systems are the
Spacecraft structures , Electrical power systems Attitude control systems ,Command and data handling systems ,Thermal control systems ,Propulsion systems .Those system should be fit together in able to work as one unit so the space craft can do the job it asked to do ..
Space craft have a big , unique structure that includes a lot of parts and pieces for example some space crafts have parts that can be divided in two groups : the primary and secondary . the primary ones are mainly used to transmit loads and the secondary are independent but must support the primary parts . we can say that those parts should have some features like low power consumption , adapt easily to the pressure and other space element so the space craft can hold up to do it object precisely and with ease and away from problems.

Now when it comes to manufacturing those space crafts there are a lot of things to consider you have to look into the objective of the space craft what is its purpose , there are a lot of purposes for it and so there are a lot of kinds there is the space craft that lands , there is the one that hovers , it could be manned or unmanned , there is really a lot of types that really needs different manufacturing technique , so a good tip to take can be to write down some requirements and go over the budget and the features it should have before starting the manufacturing process .
Being prepared and really knowing what we want, means we can choose the correct techniques to manufacture the correct space craft which ultimately reflects on the time we save and the budget that is sat.
Real-Time Hardware Simulation with Portable Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL-Rebooted)Riley Waite
SPRITE (Small Projects Rapid Integration and Test Environment) is a NASA project focused on creating open source software and easily accessible hardware for real-time, hardware-in-the-loop simulations. The SPRITE Lab’s first iteration of this idea, called PHIL, was a system created with the intention of providing an affordable, modular environment for space flight testing. It functioned as an AC, compact PCI housing one cubic foot in size. Although the PHIL project accomplished its goals, PHIL was found to be too impractical. Its execution platform was a heavily modified and outdated ARTEMIS, its user interface an old version of MAESTRO, and its visualization software bdStudio, all of which were derived from the SLS’s proprietary HIL software. PHIL-Rebooted, the next iteration of PHIL, was created with the objective of reducing overall cost and open-sourcing the system. The entire system is being developed to run solely as a software package, as opposed to the original PHIL system. Not only is this beneficial in terms of user-friendliness, but it will also dramatically reduce the cost of the systemby not requiring the purchase of proprietary hardware. Rather, users will only need an inexpensive, third-party USB-IO interfacing board for their closed-loop simulations, allowing for a variety of boards to be used. PHIL- Rebooted’s new execution platform is libSPRITE, an open source, run-time process manager developed by the SPRITE Lab.

Abandonment: A natural consequence of autonomy and belonging in systems-of-sy...Alejandro Salado
Systems of systems are characterized by being independently governed. Systems within systems of systems cease part of their autonomy to freely belong to a systems of systems. Philosophically, this implies that at a given time a constituent system can also abandon the system of systems at its discretion. This may therefore impact the effectiveness or the capabilities of the system of systems. This paper introduces the concept of abandonment and discusses how it can change the way system effectiveness is determined in systems of systems.

On the Evolution of Solution Spaces Triggered by Emerging TechnologiesAlejandro Salado
This paper investigates what happens to the solution space if a requirement is added to use a new technology. It formally proves that adding such a requirement would actually reduce the size of the solution space, since it is the emergence of the technology what expands the solution space, not the requirement to use it. The formal proof is supported by a toy example.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.procs.2015.03.053
This paper has three main contributions. The first one focuses on realizing that complexity may have many colors, i.e. complexity can be assessed in many dimensions. The second one is that a problem already introduces a level of complexity, which may be independent of the complexity of the solution. The third one uses joint entropy as an analytical framework to sum up the different colors or dimensions of the complexity of a system.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.
