CRYOGENIC AND SPACE SIMULATION SYSTEMS
GERALD ROY SPENCER, P.E. IS THE ENGINEER OF RECORD FOR THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS:
ULTRA-HIGH VACUUM TEST FACILITY - BUILDING 33 - This project
was a test facility to house non-man rated altitude chambers D, E, plus
several other smaller chambers. Gerald R. Spencer was the
Engineer of
Record (EOR)
for the design and the construction of the Cryogenic systems that served the various test
chambers. This included the LIN circulation systems, Cryropumping systems,
solar simulation, LIN Storage Tank Farm, LIN distribution piping, and the
LOX system. Mr. Spencer was in the employ of Bernard Johnson Engineers at the time
of this assignment.
HIGH PRESSURE CRYOGENIC PUMPING SYSTEM - PROJECT 72-1034 - This Project involved
the design and the construction
of
modifications to the Cryo-pumping systems at Chamber A
and Chamber B at JSC. This included modifications to the Helium
refrigeration system. We were employed directly by NASA Johnson Space
Center, Houston, Texas. Joe Fulton at JSC was the project manager.- This
project involved the modification of the LIN heat to the existing LIN Tank
farm and LIN pumping to the Helium Refrigeration System and the LIN Heat
Shields. Gerald R. Spencer, P.E. was Contracted directly by NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston,
Texas for this project. Joe Fulton at NASA-JSC was the project manager.
RADIANT HEATING TEST EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION - PROJECT 72-2029 -
BUILDING 260 - This project involved
the design and the construction
of
the installation of 10MW of
artificial solar radiant heating equipment for a solar radiation simulation
test facility. We also design and the construction ed the installation of the Ignitron system to
power the solar simulation equipment. We also design and the
construction ed the installation of
a space chamber in which the solar simulation tests were performed. We also
design and the construction ed the Space Chamber which was actually a modification of a surplus
altitude chamber that was installed at the Rocketdyne engine test facility
in Reno, Nevada. Gerald R. Spencer, P.E. was contracted directly by NASA Johnson Space Center,
Houston, Texas for this project. Joe Fulton at NASA-JSC was the project manager.
RADIANT HEATING TEST EQUIPMENT SUBSTATION AND INSTALLATION - PROJECT
E-101 - BUILDING 260 - This project involved
the design and the construction
of
the installation of a new
5MW sub station that powers a solar radiation simulation test facility.
This project also included the heat shield cooling system for the test
vessel, which was water cooled in lieu of cryogenic system. Jim Willis at
NASA-JSC was the project manager.
FLASH EVAPORATOR TESTING BUILDING NO. 7 - This project
involved the design and the construction of a vacuum vessel as required to test the cooling
effect of waste water evaporation in space as required for equipment
cooling. We were employed directly by NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston,
Texas for this project. John Welch at NASA-JSC was the project manager.
MANWAY FOR ACCESS TO MAN RATED CHAMBER VACUUM PIPING SYSTEM - PROJECT
72-2075 - This Project involved
the design and the construction
of
modifications to provide access to
the rough vacuum piping that serves Chamber A and Chamber B at NASA-JSC.
Gerald R. Spencer, P.E. was contracted directly by NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas
for this project. Bill
Metcalf at NASA-JSC was the project manager.
LIN CRYOGENIC PUMPING SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS - PROJECT 72-2073 - This Project involved
the design and the construction of
modifications to the Cryo-pumping systems at Chamber D
and Chamber E in building 33 at NASA-JSC. Gerald R. Spencer, P.E. was
contracted directly by NASA
Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas for this project. Joe Fulton at NASA-JSC was the project
manager.
SOLAR SIMULATOR COOLING SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS - PROJECT 72-2029 - This Project involved
the design and the construction of
modifications to the Solar Simulator cooling systems
at Chamber A and Chamber B at NASA-JSC. Gerald R. Spencer, P.E. was
contracted directly by NASA
Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Gene Burton at NASA-JSC was the project
manager.
MODIFICATIONS TO LIN CIRCULATION SYSTEM AND CHAMBER A & B
MODIFICATION - PROJECT 72-1011 - This project involved
the design and the construction
of
the addition
of LIN Tank storage to the existing LIN Tank farm and LIN pumping to the
Helium Refrigeration System and the LIN Heat Shields. Gerald R.
Spencer, P.E. was contracted directly by NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Joe Fulton at
NASA-JSC
was the project manager.
MODIFICATION TO LIN HEAT SHIELDS, CHAMBER E
PROJECT 72-1012 - This project involved
the design and the construction
of
modifications to the Building 33 Chamber E internal cryogenic heat
sink to prevent cracks in the chevron parts at the headers. Gerald R.
Spencer, P.E. was contracted directly by NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Joe Fulton at
NASA-JSC
was the project manager.
NASA-JSC - BLDG 7 MODIFICATIONS FOR EXTERNAL VEHICULAR ACTIVITY
FACILITY - $1,100,000 - his project required
the design and the construction
of
modifications and additions to existing Vacuum Vessel
as required for development of space hardware and space suits for the space
laboratory project. Gerald R. Spencer, P.E. was contracted directly by NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Joe Fulton at
NASA-JSC
was the project manager.
SPACE
SIMULATION SYSTEMS:
Gerald Spencer, PE is has designed many
modifications and system up-grades to the original space simulation systems
control, space simulation systems monitoring, cryogenic systems control,
solar simulation systems control, helium refrigeration systems control, and
cryo-pumping systems control systems for the large space simulation chambers
A (the largest in the world) & B over the past 35 years. This
includes a Data Acquisition Systems for building 32 that includes a 16,000 Point (24,000 point capacity) Distributed Control System (DCS)
for the chamber operations at Building 32, NASA Johnson Space Center. This is
a
stand-alone info-highway for test data acquisition, test data logging, space
simulation systems control, space simulation systems monitoring, cryogenic
systems control, solar simulation systems control, helium refrigeration
systems control, and cryo-pumping systems control.
