Vehicle Integration

Vehicle integration for Ares I involves establishing the overall design requirements and evaluating the performance of all the components of the vehicle working together. Elements of performance include the ability of the vehicle to carry its load, reach its maximum velocity, and maintain stability during flight. The overall structural dynamics, including the environmental impact on crew members, must also be analyzed. In this area, Glenn is providing integrated and independent analysis of vehicle trajectory, vehicle control stability, vehicle dynamics, vehicle sizing, and reliability.
