NASA representatives visit By Mary Simmons TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF HENSALL — Employees of Iceculture got the opportunity to meet with rep- resentatives from NASA and hear more about a project they are working on with the space agency. The company is making pure ice samples for use in a study into the dangers ice formations could cause during space shuttle launches. Matthew Melis, an aerospace engi- neer with NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, made a presenta- tion to staff at the plant in Hensall Aug. 11. Melis updated the group on the investigation into the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster and how it has led to the research using the company's ice pellets. The Columbia shuttle was destroyed on re-entry into the Earth's atmos- phere because a piece of foam insula- tion tore a hole in the wing during launch. The investigation into the tragedy, which claimed the lives of seven astro- nauts, launched a series of tests to prevent similar accidents before the next scheduled launch in the spring. Melis used high-speed camera footage to show how researchers assess the damage of shooting foam and ice projectiles at high speeds in a vacuum gun against the carbon mater- ial used on the surface of the shuttle. 95t Environmental handling charge may apply. He said although the testing started with the same type of urethane foam which caused the accident, researchers are now conducting experiments with the ice made in Hensall. He said a vacuum is used to create a cleaner environment and assess the actual impact. Melis said the system is not perfect. "It never is when you've taken reality and turned it into ones and zeroes," he said, referring to computer binary code. He acknowledged researchers will never know if they could have prevent- ed the Columbia shuttle accident if they had the information they have now, but at least they could have tried. With the experiments being conduct- ed, researchers are attempting to find out if it would be possible to make in- flight repairs. With predictions being made after the results of the experiments, Melis said a threat can be assessed before it happens. Melis said Iceculture was chosen for the clarity, purity and consistency of its ice and the company's ability to make the type and amount of ice required for the project. Along with Melis, Professor Erland Schulson, an ice expert from Dartmouth College, and Brad Lerch of NASA's Glenn Research Centre made the trip to Hensall. Convenient. Affordable.
