NASA 360 crew -- (L to R, Mike Bibbo, Kevin Krigsvold, Tom Shortridge) -- shooting in the Langley Full Scale Tunnel for their latest program on NASA's commitment to Aeronautics.
The National Institute of Aerospace is participating in the 5th Annual AeroSpace Day at the Virginia General Assembly, February 3 and 4, 2010, to increase awareness of how vital NASA and the aerospace industry are to the economic well-being and future of the Commonwealth.
Encompassing work on rotary, fixed and flapping wing vehicles, research on aeronautical systems involves computational fluid dynamics calculations and laboratory projects.
Research in atmospheric sciences focuses on using the rich array of satellite data to investigate the behavior of Earth's atmosphere.
Our research in aviation safety focuses on advancing the use of information for the next generation of air traffic control
Computational sciences are applied to much of the work at NIA
NIA has significant experience developing innovative space transportation and surface systems to support human lunar and Mars exploration for a variety of NASA missions.
Materials research is a large part of what NIA does. The projects encompass the breadth of materials research, from the atomic & nano-scale to the component & macro-scale; from organic polymers to metals and to ceramics; and from computational methods to synthesis & processing and to mechanical & structural analysis.
These courses are being developed to meet hypersonic education goals of the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD).
