On October 28th, Price Induction Inc. installed a WESTT CS/BV bench at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland in the Controls & Dynamics Branch managed by Dr. Sanjay Garg. This Branch is responsible for the development of advanced dynamic modeling, health management, and control design and implementation technologies for current and future aerospace propulsion systems. In addition, the branch also provides support to projects in the form of stability and controls analysis, handling qualities analysis, and verification and validation testing.
The branch has contributed to the NASA Aeronautics Research, Human Exploration and Operations, and Science Mission Directorates, through program participation in X-48C, Intelligent Control for Performance (ICP), Alternative-Fuel Effects on Contrails and Cruise EmiSSions (ACCESS), X-56 Multi-Utility Technology Testbed (MUTT), HTV, G-III, KQ-X, and Orion.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States government that is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics research. President Dwight D. Eisenhower established NASA in 1958 with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science.
