SDSC developed the Rocks cluster computing environment, and is a pioneer in data management software development, including the storage resource broker ( SRB ).

Advantages over the Ares I would probably include reduced development cost and time, common launch pad infrastructure and providing more than adequate lift for the Orion, while disadvantages would include increased per-launch cost over the use of a single SRB for the first stage.

The ESAS called for the development of two shuttle-derived launch vehicles to support Project Constellation ; one derived from the space shuttle ’ s solid rocket booster ( SRB ) to launch the CEV, and an in-line heavy-lift vehicle using SRBs and the shuttle ’ s external tank to launch the Earth Departure Stage and Lunar Surface Access Module.

Two years later, the first firing of a SRB took place and tests on the ET began at NSFC.

Preparation for the mission began on 3 June, with the assembly of the shuttle's solid rocket boosters ( SRB ) on the mobile launcher platform.

The SRB RGA rates pass through the orbiter flight aft multiplexers / demultiplexers to the orbiter GPCs.

The solid rocket motor ignition commands are sent by the orbiter computers through the Master Events Controllers ( MECs ) to the safe and arm device NSDs in each SRB.

The tank is connected to each SRB at one forward attachment point ( using a crossbeam through the intertank ) and one aft bracket, and it is connected to the orbiter at one forward attachment bipod and two aft bipods.

He had the SRB and the newly formed Public Safety Unit ( PSU ) redouble their efforts to uncover subversives and other imagined enemies of the state.

The Ugandan General Service Unit ( GSU ), an intelligence agency created by the previous government, was disbanded and replaced by the Ugandan State Research Bureau ( SRB ).

In 2003, General Atomics was granted an exclusive license from UCSD to further develop the capabilities of SRB for use in commercial applications.

Storage Resource Broker ( SRB ) is a Data Grid Management System ( DGMS ) operating in many U. S. and international computational science research projects.

The integrated Rule-based Data management System ( iRODS ) is a follow-on project of the SDSC SRB team ( which is now the Data Intensive Cyber Environments ( DICE ) group ), and now largely replaces the use SDSC SRB in research and academic communities.

The orbiter was lifted up on a sling very similar to the one used at Kennedy Space Center and placed inside the Dynamic Test Stand building, and there mated to the Vertical Mate Ground Vibration Test tank ( VMGVT-ET ), which in turn was attached to a set of inert Solid Rocket Boosters ( SRB ) to form a complete shuttle launch stack, and marked the first time in the program's history that all Space Shuttle elements, an Orbiter, an External Tank ( ET ), and two SRBs, were mated together.

Formerly referred to as the Crew Launch Vehicle ( CLV ), the Ares I consisted of a single Solid Rocket Booster ( SRB ) derived from the boosters used in the Space Shuttle system, connected at its upper end by an interstage support assembly to a new liquid-fueled second stage powered by an uprated Apollo-era J-2X rocket engine.

The launch of STS-51-D from Kennedy Space Center ( KSC ), Florida, on 12 April 1985 was delayed by 55 minutes, after a boat strayed into the restricted Solid Rocket Booster ( SRB ) recovery zone.

Each SRB contains three Rate gyro assemblies ( RGAs ), with each RGA containing one pitch and one yaw gyro.

The propellant mixture in each SRB motor consists of ammonium perchlorate ( oxidizer, 69. 6 % by weight ), aluminum ( fuel, 16 %), iron oxide ( a catalyst, 0. 4 %), a polymer ( such as PBAN or HTPB, serving as a binder that holds the mixture together and acting as secondary fuel, 12. 04 %), and an epoxy curing agent ( 1. 96 %).

The separation sequence is initiated, commanding the thrust vector control actuators to the null position and putting the main propulsion system into a second-stage configuration ( 0. 8 second from sequence initialization ), which ensures the thrust of each SRB is less than.

The drogue disreefs twice after specified time delays ( using redundant 7 and 12-second reefing line cutters ), and it reorients / stabilizes the SRB for main chute deployment.

Examples of rockets and missiles which use thrust vectoring include both large systems such as the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster ( SRB ), S-300P ( SA-10 ) surface-to-air missile, UGM-27 Polaris nuclear ballistic missile and RT-23 ( SS-24 ) ballistic missile and smaller battlefield weapons such as Swingfire.

As part of this, it implements a logical namespace ( distinct from physical file names ) and maintains metadata on data-objects ( files ), users, groups, resources, collections, and other items in an SRB Metadata Catalog ( MCAT ) stored in a relational database management system.

SRB can store and retrieve data in archival storage systems such as HPSS and SAM-FS, on disk file systems ( Unix, Linux, or Windows ), as Binary Large Objects or tabular data in relational database management systems, and on tape libraries.

In the mid 1950s the company bought extensive lands in Utah for its rocket test range, and continues to have major operations in the state, at Magna and Promontory ( home of the Space Shuttle's SRB ), and its current headquarters at Brigham City.

The record was reviewed by Rolling Stone Magazine, October 19, 2006, by Senior Editor David Fricke, as one of " Fricke's Picks ," saying of the band's 1978 single ( included in the set ), " City Slang " " 5: 15 of assault guitars, railroad drumming and Smith's determined-rebel call -- has all you need to know why SRB were masters of their domain.

Studies verify the phenomena using sex ratio at birth ( SRB, the ratio of boys born per 100 girls ).

SRB headquarters at Nakasero became the scene of torture and executions over the next years.

A small fragment of thermal tile, estimated to be around 1. 5 inches ( 38 mm ) in size, was ejected from an edge tile of the front landing gear door at some point before SRB separation.

Seventy-five seconds after SRB separation, SRB apogee occurred at an altitude of approximately ; parachutes are then deployed and impact occurred in the ocean approximately downrange, after which the two SRBs are recovered.

Each SRB weighs approximately at launch.

The forward end of each SRB is attached to the external tank at the forward end of the SRB's forward skirt.

The solid rocket motor ignition commands are issued when the three Space Shuttle Main Engines ( SSMEs ) are at or above 90-percent rated thrust, no SSME fail and / or SRB ignition Pyrotechnic Initiator Controller ( PIC ) low voltage is indicated and there are no holds from the Launch Processing System ( LPS ).

At T minus zero, the two SRBs are ignited, under command of the four onboard computers ; separation of the four explosive bolts on each SRB is initiated ; the two T-0 umbilicals ( one on each side of the spacecraft ) are retracted ; the onboard master timing unit, event timer and mission event timers are started ; the three SSMEs are at 100 %; and the ground launch sequence is terminated.

splashdown of the right hand SRB from the launch of STS-125The SRBs are jettisoned from the shuttle system at 2 minutes and an altitude of about 146, 000 feet ( 44. 5 km ).

Nose cap separation occurs at a nominal altitude of, about 218 seconds after SRB separation.

The solid rocket boosters, jettisoned from the Space Shuttle Discovery | Space Shuttle Discovery following the launch of STS-116, floating in the Atlantic Ocean about 150 miles northeast of Cape Canaveral. After the drogue chute has stabilized the SRB in a tail-first attitude, the frustum is separated from the forward skirt by a pyrotechnic charge triggered by the low-altitude baroswitch at a nominal altitude of about 243 seconds after SRB separation.

Water impact occurs about 279 seconds after SRB separation at a nominal velocity of.

Sulforhodamine B ( SRB ) solution ( 100 µl ) at 0. 4 % ( w / v ) in 1 % acetic acid is added to each well, and plates are incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature.

iRODS is based on SRB concepts but was completely re-written, includes a highly-configurable Rule Engine at its core and is fully open source.

A Liquid Rocket Booster ( LRB ) is similar to a solid rocket booster ( SRB ) attached to the side of a rocket to give it extra lift at takeoff.
