Chemical Propulsion Information Analysis Center


Lecture Series Compilation on CD

• SRTC Lecture series (1986 – 2003)– 267 Mb, 3851 pages scanned to pdf– Concerns that collective documentation may

be subject to U.S. export control laws (ITAR)– Tom Moore will ask his CPIAC Contracting

Officer Representative (COR) for an opinion on release

• Communication with COR limited over past 3 months due to CPIA CPIAC competitive procurement action


Solid Rocket Fundamentals Textbook

• SRTC Adopted Bob Geisler outline in principle (2003 ASM)– Deficiencies identified in current propulsion

texts– Preliminary chapter outline established;

revised at 2004 JPC– Project encouraged by AIAA


• Response to date indicates volunteer effort sufficient to prepare manuscript on a per chapter basis

• Leverage existing NASA SP monograph series and other available public domain material

• CPIAC will coordinate resources, manuscript consolidation and overall editorial function

• Kick-off today; 2-year schedule to manuscript submittal

• Establish Internet file transfer/workplace site for collaboration, review and progress reporting
