Abstract: Techniques of item assembly testing that include: obtaining assembly information; generating, based on the assembly information, a bill of materials (BOM) including a listing of parts corresponding to a configuration of parts defined by the assembly information; generating, based on the listing of parts, a set of reference designators; obtaining an item label set; generating, based on the item label set and the set of reference designators, an assembly bill of materials (ABOM) that includes the labels associated with the parts reference designators; generating, for a test of the item assembly, a record of the ABOM; obtaining test data for parts of the item assembly (the item assembly tested having a configuration specified the ABOM); and generating a test results ABOM including test data for the parts associated with the labels for the reference designators associated with the parts.

Abstract: A reusable upper stage rocket or other atmospheric re-entry vehicle includes a nose, a base opposite the nose, and a propulsion engine toward the base. The propulsion engine includes a high pressure chamber and a nozzle configured to exhaust gas generated by the high pressure chamber. The nozzle includes an initial nozzle portion, a secondary nozzle portion downstream of the initial nozzle portion, and a nozzle exit at a downstream end of the secondary nozzle portion. The secondary nozzle portion includes an inner expansion surface, an outer expansion surface outboard of the inner expansion surface, and an expansion cavity defined between the inner expansion surface and the outer expansion surface.

Abstract: A system for managing resources and scheduling is disclosed. The system includes a client computer, software executable by the client computer for providing a user interface, a server in data communication with the client computer, a database for storing data in a hierarchical data structure, and a data fusion engine executing on the server. The hierarchical data structure includes a parent node and child nodes linked to the parent node. The data fusion engine is configured to log a workflow to at least one of the child nodes based on user input received via the user interface. A related method and software is also disclosed.

Abstract: An annular aerospike nozzle for a vehicle, such as an upper stage rocket. is disclosed. The annular aerospike nozzle includes a centerbody and a plurality of thrust chambers spaced around the centerbody. Each thrust chamber has a throat and a nozzle portion extending aft of the throat. The nozzle portion has an exit dimension Dexit at an aft end. Each thrust chamber is spaced away from adjacent thrust chambers by a spacing distance Dspace, such that Dspace≥M*Dexit, where M≥1.

Abstract: A heat shield for protecting a windward side of a vehicle from a high enthalpy flow is disclosed. The heat shield includes a centerbody sidewall and a centerbody base extending aft of the centerbody sidewall. The centerbody sidewall and the centerbody base define a heat shield outer surface that is non-axisym metric. Also disclosed is an aerospike nozzle defined at least partially by the heat shield, an engine including a high pressure chamber and the aerospike nozzle, and a vehicle including the engine.
