The Ascent Entry Trainer (AET) is a fully functional simulator of the proposed avionics upgrade to the United States Space Shuttle. AET allows for ease of update and changes to the displays or the underlying model algorithms.

In this program, a highly efficient recuperative vapor compression heat pump was developed and tested for its ability to operate independent of orientation with respect to gravity while maximizing temperature lift and efficiency. The objective of such a heat pump is to increase the temperature of and thus reduce the size of the radiative heat rejecting panels on spacecraft such as the International Space Station (ISS).

The Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation (C-MAPSS) software is a transient simulation of a large commercial turbofan engine (up to 90,000-lbs thrust) with a realistic engine control system. The software supports easy access to health, control, and engine parameters through a graphical user interface (GUI).

This innovation describes NASA Glenn Research Center’s approach in developing a common software platform for processing waveform-based NDE signals and images.

This is a Fortran 90 computer program for post-processing in support of visualization of flows simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD).The user can select from among more than 40 flow functions. The cut planes can be trimmed to circular or rectangular shape.
