MIT Museum Presents

Object Lessons:
To the Moon and Back

Engineers and scientists working at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory
developed the computer hardware and software that enabled the Apollo
astronauts to journey to the moon. Here is an amazing opportunity to be
among a select few to see the computer printouts and learn the history of
the two computer programs that guided the Apollo 11 command and lunar
modules to the moon and back. In the Museum's monthly series of brown bag
gallery talks, join Deborah Douglas, MIT Museum Curator of Science and
Technology, for some far-out computer talk.

NE AIAA Meeting
Thursday, January 22, 2004
"Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere"
presented by
David McLaughlin,
Director, CASA Center
University of Massachusetts

Our ability to monitor, anticipate, and respond to changing circumstances and events is increasingly important, particularly with regard to our physical surroundings. Nowhere is this capability more vital to society, or the challenges associated with its practical implementation greater, than in the context of the atmosphere, where hazardous local weather, such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and floods as well as lofted radiological, chemical and biological agents can, in a matter of minutes or hours, destroy or contaminate life and property over vast areas. Yet, the portion of the atmosphere that contains the bulk of both natural and man-made hazards the lower troposphere and particularly the atmospheric boundary layer is grossly under-sampled by today�s sensing technologies.

The Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA), a new NSF Engineering Research Center, seeks to revolutionize our ability to observe the lower troposphere through Distributed Collaborative Adaptive Sensing (DCAS). DCAS refers to the use of large numbers of small radars distributed to achieve high spatial and temporal resolution throughout the entire troposphere. The radars operate collaboratively within a dynamic information technology infrastructure, adapting to changing atmospheric conditions in a manner that meets the competing needs of multiple end-users.

Installing DCAS radar networks on cell towers and rooftops defeats the earth curvature problem that limits today�s long-range radar networks and offers the potential to achieve breakthrough improvements in sensitivity and resolution compared to current approaches. These systems promise significant reductions in tornado false-alarms, vastly improved precipitation estimates for flood prediction, fine-scale wind field imaging and thermodynamic state estimation for use in airborne hazard dispersion prediction and other applications.

One hundred years ago today Orville and Wilbur Wright flew into
history. In the Museum's monthly series of brown bag gallery talks,
Deborah Douglas, curator of science and technology and aviation
historian, relates the story behind a certificate bearing a one-inch
square of fabric-aviation's most precious relic-from the Wright's
1903 flyer, and details MIT's role in the first-ever public display
of the Flyer on campus in 1916.

Brunel Lecture: The Columbia Tragedy: System-Level Issues for Engineering

By Sheila Widnall
Member, Columbia Accident Investigation Board
Member, National Women's Hall of Fame
Institute Professor, Professor of Aeronautics, Astronautics, and Engineering Systems, Engineering Systems Division, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

About the Lecture:

The Columbia accident resulted from an organizational systems failure that allowed the physical event to occur. Insulating foam from the external tank impacted the shuttle, creating a breech in the wing's leading edge that allowed gases at temperatures of some 5000 degrees F to enter the wing and devastate its internal structure. The response of engineers and program mangers while Columbia was in orbit raises important issues for the education of engineers. It also raises questions about engineers' responsibility to treat system-level issues with the same disciplinary expertise with which they treat components.

About the Speaker:

Dr. Widnall received her Sc.D. from MIT.

She has served as Associate Provost, MIT, and as Secretary of the Air Force. As Secretary of the Air Force, Dr. Widnall was responsible for all affairs of the Department of the Air Force including recruiting, organizing, training, administration, logistical support, maintenance, and welfare of personnel. During this time, the Air Force issued its long range vision statement: Global Engagement: A Vision for the 21st Century Air Force, which defined the path from the air and space force of today to the space and air force of the next century. Dr. Widnall was also responsible for research and development and other activities prescribed by the President or the Secretary of Defense. She co-chaired the Department of Defense Task Force on Sexual Harassment and Discrimination. She later stepped down to resume teaching.

Since returning to MIT, she has been active in the Lean Aerospace Initiative, with special emphasis on the space and policy focus teams. Her research activities in fluid dynamics have included the following: boundary layer stability, unsteady hydrodynamic loads on fully wetted and supercavitating hydrofoils of finite span, unsteady lifting-surface theory, unsteady air forces on oscillating cylinders in subsonic and supersonic flow, unsteady leading-edge vortex separation from slender delta wings, tip-vortex aerodynamics, helicopter noise, aerodynamics of high-speed ground transportation vehicles, vortex stability, aircraft-wake studies, turbulence, and transition. Her teaching activities have included undergraduate dynamics and aerodynamics, graduate level aerodynamics of wings and bodies, aeroelasticity, acoustics and aerodynamic noise, and aerospace vehicle vibration. She was a member of the Columbia accident investigation board and she was inducted into the Women's Hall of Fame in 2003.

THE BRUNEL LECTURE SERIES ON COMPLEX SYSTEMS was made possible by funds assembled and underwritten by Frank P. Davidson, convener of the Channel Tunnel Study Group (1957). It was this group's design, accomplished by agreement with Bechtel Corporation, Brown & Root, Inc. and Morrison-Knudsen Company, Inc. in 1959, that formed the basis of the subsea railway link now in service between England and France.

Mr. Davidson is a retired Senior Research Associate at MIT. From 1970-1996, he was Chairman of the System Dynamics Steering Committee, Sloan School of Management, and Coordinator of the Macro-Engineering Research Group at MIT's School of Engineering. He co-edited, with C. Lawrence Meador, Macro-Engineering: Global Infrastructure Solutions, subtitled Massachusetts Institute of Technology Brunel Lectures 1983-1992. With Ernst G. Frankel and C. Lawrence Maedor, he co-edited Macro-Engineering, subtitled MIT Brunel Lectures on Global Infrastructure. These volumes, published by Ellis Horwood and Horwood Publishing Limited in 1992 and 1997, respectively, appeared in Chichester, England, as did Macro-Problems and World Projects, subtitled Essays in Honor of Frank Davidson, which appeared in 1998, on the occasion of Mr. Davidsons retirement and 80th birthday. The latter volume was edited by MIT Professor Emeritus Ernst G. Frankel and by Uwe Kitzinger, CBE, former president of Templeton College, Oxford, and now a Visiting Scholar at Harvard.

We still need a couple volunteers to help out Rick DeMeis and Ray
Erikson man the AIAA booth at the Daniel Webster Air Fair on Saturday
and/or Sunday, September 20th and 21st.  Manning a booth entails
answering fair attendees' questions about AIAA, airplanes, rockets, or
whatever -you- know about the aerospace business, handing out
brochures -- and hanging out with a bunch of really neat airplanes and
their pilots for a while!

Please contact Ray Erikson at ray.erikson@... if you

All-

The NE AIAA February Meeting is schedule for Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 6:00 at
the MITRE Corporation.  Dan Caron, teacher at Kingwood Regional High School
believes that students should have an opportunity to participate in real
life situations that relate to their school work whenever possible.  Mr.
Caron will speak about the aerospace program at Kingswood and the many
activities in which his students participate.  Rocketry, ham radio, E-mail
mentors, and teleconferencing are some of the "no-cost/low cost" activities
that any teacher could integrate into his/her classes with the assistance
of the engineering professionals.  Discover these and other innovative ways
to form partnerships between the engineering and education communities.

Current attendance is low and threatening cancellation of the event.  If
you are interested, contact Paul Schwartz, (781) 271-3536,
pschwart@... by MOnday, Feb. 10, 2003.  Event detail and directions
are attached.

Thanks.

Jennifer
