Abstract:

In November of 2003, the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) performed an Independent Technical Assessment of the Code Y CALIPSO satellite Proteus propulsion bus (ref. NESC Final Report NESC-RP-001, NASA Technical Memorandum number applied for). This is a joint mission with NASA GSFC, LaRC and the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Air Force base in April 2005 on a Delta II rocket. Several personnel safety hazards related to the hydrazine-fueled Proteus propulsion bus could have been minimized or avoided in the design phase.
