Smith July 2, 1911 May 1, 1997 was an important figure in the aerodynamics field at Douglas Aircraft from 1938 to 1975 and an early pioneer in the area of Computational Fluid Dynamics . Early life A.M.O. Smith was born in Columbia, Missouri . He graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, California in 1929 and went on to study at Compton Junior College in Compton, California and finally the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California , where he received his BS in 1936 and his MS in 1938. While at Long Beach, he was a member of the Long Beach Glider Club along with John Robinson Pierce John Pierce , one of the earliest glider clubs in southern California. While at Caltech, he built and tested a number of rockets with Professor Theodore von K rm n s students Frank Malina , Edward Forman , Jack Parsons and Tsien Hsue shen . This work led to the formation of Aerojet and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory several years later. Career In June 1938, Smith was hired by the El Segundo Division of Douglas Aircraft . During his time there, he worked on aerodynamic and preliminary design problems of the DC 5 , SBD Dauntless , DB 7 Boston , A 20 Havoc and A 26 Invader . In October 1942 he went on a leave of absence, at the request of General H.H. Arnold , to help organize and develop the newly formed Aerojet company as its first Chief Engineer. Under his guidance, the engineering organization at Aerojet grew from six people to over 400 by the time he left. This period saw the development and quantity production of the JATO type rocket at Aerojet . After he returned to Douglas Aircraft in March 1944, he resumed work in aerodynamics and preliminary design. He was responsible for the detailed aerodynamic design of the D 558 I Skystreak , which for a period held the world speed record. He was also responsible for the design of the F3D 1 Skynight .

Unreferenced date November 2008 Arcjets are a form of Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion electric propulsion for spacecraft , whereby an electrical discharge arc is created in a flow of propellant typically hydrazine or ammonia . This imparts additional energy to the propellant, so that one can extract more work out of each kilogram of propellant, at the expense of increased power consumption and usually higher cost. Also, the thrust levels available from typically used arcjet engines are very low compared with chemical engines. When the energy is available, arcjets are well suited to station keeping in orbit and can replace monopropellant rocket s. In Germany , researchers at the University of Stuttgart s Institute of Space Aviation Systems have been looking into these challenges for years and have developed various hydrogen powered arcjet engines capable of power outputs from 1 to 100 Watt kW . The heated hydrogen reaches exit speeds of just under 10 miles per second 16 km s . An arcjet propelled test satellite by the name of Baden W rttemberg 1 BW1 is scheduled to go to the moon.

Refimprove date February 2008 Image GMD kill vehicle ift101.jpg thumb Raytheon s Kill vehicle EKV Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle EKV can refer to two related missile defense concepts Most common the Raytheon manufactured interceptor component with subcontractor Aerojet of the U.S. Ground Based Midcourse Defense GMD , part the larger National Missile Defense system. Any exoatmospheric outside the atmosphere Projectile Kinetic projectiles kinetic kill interceptor . The Raytheon EKV is launched by the Ground Based Interceptor GBI missile, the launch vehicle of the Ground based Midcourse Defense System. The EKV s own rockets and fuel are for corrections in the trajectory, not for further acceleration. An EKV is boosted to an intercept trajectory by a boost vehicle missile , where it separates from the boost vehicle and autonomously collides with an incoming warhead. EKV devices appear in both ground and ship based missile defense systems.
