Description
Summary:Bengtson discusses that the Atmospheric and Space Environments Technical Committee encourages the exchange of information about the interactions between aerospace systems and their surroundings. Focusing on safety with aircraft icing tests, radiation risk management and wake turbulence studies. In the field of aircraft icing, researchers at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Ohio completed a major test campaign in the Icing Research Tunnel in February. This work builds on a previous collaboration with FAA and ONERA, the French national aerospace research center. The test article was a 6-foot span, full-scale wing section based on NASA's Common Research Model, an industry-standard airliner model. Space Environment Technologies of Los Angeles advanced the Automated Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety program in early 2020.
