  10. K-12 Working GroupSusana Muñoz Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  11. Most Influential Paper Idea • This was proposed by John Valasek • Find the most influential paper from past years • Make a special presentation to the author at a future conference • There seemed to be a lot of interest at the start • No one has stepped up to lead the effort • Should we pursue it or drop it? Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  12. Request from Applied Aerodynamics TC • Applied Aerodynamics (APA) TC has interests closely related to ours • APA has met with AFM/GNC in the summer every fourth year • They have voted to stop meeting with us • Jim Keenan, APA TC Chair, contacted me to invite us to • Meet with APA every fourth year • Co-locate with Fluids, Thermophysics, etc., not with GNC (and now MST) • Meet in June instead of August those years • We voted “NO” (by email) early this year Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  13. Liaison Reports Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  14. New Business • How Do We Make the AFM TC Thrive? • We’re at a Comfortable Membership Level (34) • We’re Due to Lose Half our Members in 2009 • Supposed to be a 3-year (maximum) commitment • Several members with less than 3 years have not been renewed • We Need to Replace Subcommittee Chairs Tonight and in January • There are a Couple of Options for this TC Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  15. New BusinessTC Member Emeritus • This is an idea that is being pursued by other TCs • Not an official position recognized within AIAA • Establish active outgoing members as “Emeritus” members • Invited to attend TC meetings • No voting rights or positions as subcommittee chairs • Encouraged to help with regular subcommittee tasks • What do you think? Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  16. New BusinessA Four-Year Commitment? • Commitment to the TC is for three years • Actually, it’s for one year • There are up to two years’ options based on participation • We hold two meetings a year, some TCs hold three • We could extend commitment to four years • This would not be an official AIAA stance! • We would notify applicants when they are accepted • They would not be required to remain for the fourth year Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  17. New BusinessTechnical Session Co-Chair Options • Currently, we designate two co-chairs for all technical sessions • Provides back-up • May provide a reason for a non-TC member to attend a conference • Is this working? • Should we make an effort to go outside the TC for co-chairs? Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  18. New BusinessIdeas for Invited and Special Sessions • Not really new business… • There were lots of good ideas back in January • PLEASE provide your ideas to the Chairs of the Technical Subcommittees by tonight • Subcommittee Chairs, PLEASE forward those ideas to Ag, Bandu, or Atilla • Invited and special sessions are always a big hit Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  35. Mechanics & Control of Flight Award2008 • Award: The Mechanics and Control of Flight Award is presented for outstanding recent technical or scientific contributions by an individual in the mechanics, guidance, or control of flight in space or the atmosphere. • Selection Committee: Two each from • Atmospheric Flight Mechanics (AFM) • Guidance, Navigation, & Control (GNC) • Astrodynamics (ASD) Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  36. Criteria • Current significance & importance of contribution(s) • Long term significance & importance of contribution(s)/applicability to the GNC/AFM/ASD field • Recognition • Nominee’s involvement in technical achievements • Quality & strength of nomination package and supporting recommendation letters • AIAA Service Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  37. Nominees • John Cochran, Auburn University • Mikhail Goman, De Montfort Univ, UK • Vladislav Klein, GWU/NASA LaRC • Eugene Lavretsky, The Boeing Company • Ping Lu, Iowa State University • Jubaraj Sahu, US Army RL/Aberdeen Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  38. And the Winner Is … Ping Lu • Citation: For contributions in advanced guidance algorithms for entry and ascent flight. • Specifically, Prof. Lu is an internationally recognized leading researcher in advanced entry guidance for reusable launch vehicles and spacecraft and ascent guidance of launch vehicles. An on-board trajectory planning and guidance algorithm devised by Prof. Lu was selected by NASA Marshall as the winner of a Reusable Launch Vehicle Guidance and Control competition. It had performance that far exceeded that of the Shuttle guidance algorithm, and handled a much larger number of severely off-nominal test scenarios. Prof. Lu's work on advanced entry guidance and ascent guidance, published mostly in AIAA journals and conferences, is among the most commonly cited references of recent years in these fields.
