AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: Firing Up The Artemis I Rocket

This AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series webinar is hosted by AIAA and presented by NASA.

Join us for a virtual briefing with NASA as it prepares for the first integrated flight of the

Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion for the Artemis I mission to bring humanity back to the moon. Get a behind-the-scenes update on the progress of the Artemis Program and Green Run testing of the world’s most powerful rocket with John Blevins, SLS Chief Engineer, NASA.

The next SLS Artemis milestone will occur when NASA hot fires all four of the SLS stage’s boosters in an 8-minute test called the Green Run Hot Fire. The SLS rocket’s 212-foot-tall core stage will be used for all configurations of the SLS rocket, and the series of eight hot-fire tests will verify that the stage is ready for the first and future Artemis lunar missions.

The presentation will include a brief overview of the Artemis Program, what makes the SLS uniquely suited for these missions, and a status update on Artemis I, II, and III.

This webinar is open to the public and free of charge.

AIAA Design/Build/Fly

The AIAA through the Applied Aerodynamics, Aircraft Design, Design Engineering and Flight Test Technical Committees and the AIAA Foundation invites all university students to participate in the Cessna/Raytheon Missile Systems Student Design Build Fly competition. The contest will provide a real-world aircraft design experience for engineering students by giving them the opportunity to validate their analytic studies;

Student teams will design, fabricate, and demonstrate the flight capabilities of an unmanned, electric powered, radio controlled aircraft which can best meet the specified mission profile. The goal is a balanced design possessing good demonstrated flight handling qualities and practical and affordable manufacturing requirements while providing a high vehicle performance.

To encourage innovation and maintain a fresh design challenge for each new years participants, the design requirements and performance objective will be updated for each new contest year. The changes will provide new design requirements and opportunities, while allowing for application of technology developed by the teams from prior years.

SciTechxWebinar: Flying Is Safe—Is Air Travel?

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on commercial aviation and the over 65 million jobs directly and indirectly connected. The aerospace industry is not simply waiting for the pandemic to pass but is actively seeking and testing data to drive solutions today.

This two-part webinar was facilitated by well-known aerospace journalist Miles O’Brien and AIAA Executive Director Dan Dumbacher.

In Part I we heard from leaders of the global air travel ecosystem on how they are working together to build the traveling public’s confidence back with real data and communication.

Part II took a deeper technical dive into what and how data within the global air travel ecosystem are being tested, what are the results, and what are the next steps to ensure that not just flying is safe, but air travel is too.
