1. 40th International Conference
on Environmental Systems
11–15 July 2010
Hotel Fira Palace
Barcelona, Spain
Synopsis
The 40th International Conference on Environmental Systems (ICES) will be held 11–15 July 2010 at the Hotel Fira Palace, in
Barcelona, Spain. The conference is organized by AIAA, in cosponsorship with the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE),
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the ICES International Committee (INTL), and SAE International. The confer-
ence will cover the following topics related to humans living and working in hostile environments with applications inside or outside of
terrestrial or space habitats or vehicles: aerospace human factors; environmental control and life support system technology; environ-
mental monitoring and controls; planetary protection; EVA system technology; life sciences; planetary habitats and systems; and thermal
control systems technology for both manned and unmanned vehicles. ICES is open to participants from any nation, from academic, gov-
ernment, or industry organizations. There will be four days of technical presentations, with over 300 papers.
ICES Under New Management
Pursuant to a strategic realignment within SAE International, the management and operation of ICES has transitioned to AIAA, a long-
standing cosponsor of ICES and the world’s largest technical society dedicated to the global aerospace profession. SAE will continue to
work with the ICES Steering Committee and AIAA professional staff during the transition to ensure the continuity of the conference.

Joint Propulsion Conference Synopsis
AIAA, ASME, SAE, ASEE, and their industry partners proudly invite you to Nashville, TN—the Music City, for the 46th AIAA/ASME/
SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit (JPC), 25–28 July 2010. The design of our next-generation flight and space sys-
tems will be dependent more than ever on green technologies providing high performance, increasingly efficient, reliable, and affordable
propulsion systems. Our ability to incorporate new green technologies into aircraft and spacecraft will have far-reaching impacts on the
revolutionary roles these complex systems play in our everyday lives.
The objective for JPC 2010 is to identify and highlight how innovative, green aerospace propulsion technologies are powering both
new and evolving systems. Flight applications include next-generation commercial aircraft, regional and business jets, military applica-
tions, supersonic/hypersonic high-speed propulsion applications, launch systems, orbital insertion, satellite, and interstellar propulsion.
Special panel sessions will focus on advanced system applications that can be used to showcase propulsion systems and components,
and the technologies that enable them.
International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference Synopsis
The 8th International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference (IECEC) will be held 25–28 July 2010 at the Renaissance Nashville
Hotel. The IECEC provides a forum to present and discuss engineering aspects of energy conversion technology, advanced energy and
power systems, devices for terrestrial energy systems and aerospace applications, and the policy, programs, and environmental impact
associated with the development and utilization of this technology.
The IECEC is hosted by AIAA, which is joined this year by three Participating Organizations. These organizations are:
• The Heat Transfer Society of Japan Advanced Energy Conversion Group
• The IEEE Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society (AESS)
• The Egyptian Society of Mechanical Engineers (ESME)

and receive free registration to the conferences (sessions only).
Advanced Solid Rocket Technologies (Sponsored by the AIAA Solid Rocket Technical Committee, lead by David Poe)
This two-day course will explore a broad range of state-of-the-art technologies in solid rocket advancement. Topics including
new paradigm for internal flow analysis, coupled launcher and booster optimization, modern thrust vector control device, insulation
erosion evaluation, advanced propellant development, principle of aluminum combustion, and new combustion instability analysis
for solid rocket motors will be discussed by both domestic and international experts of the field. The course will also emphasize cur-
rent practices in both analytical and experimental approaches within the U.S. industry and government labs, as well as advances
as pursued by the European and Japanese solid rocket industries.
Air Breathing Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) Technology (Sponsored by the AIAA Air Breathing Technical Committee, lead
by D.E. Musielak)
The PDE Technology short course is designed to present a comprehensive overview of air-breathing Pulse Detonation Engines,
including detonation combustion theory, performance metrics, fuels and initiation systems, detonation physics research, technical
challenges, and opportunities for development of PDEs. This course will be taught by instructors who are renowned experts from
government and industrial organizations actively engaged in PDE propulsion R&D. They will discuss state of the art, challenges,
and development trends of this exciting propulsion technology.
Liquid Propulsion Systems—Evolution and Advancements (Sponsored by the AIAA Liquid Propulsion Technical Committee,
lead by Alan Frankel)
Liquid propulsion systems are critical to launch vehicle and spacecraft performance, safety, and cost. This two-day course,
taught by a team of propulsion experts, will cover Rocket Propulsion Fundamentals; Propulsion Chemistry; Converting Chemistry
into Performance; Launch Vehicle Propulsion; Spacecraft Propulsion; and Applying Propulsion Lessons Learned.
Hydrogen Safety Course (Instructors: Steve McDougle and Stephen Woods)
The Hydrogen Safety course is intended to provide the student with a working knowledge of safety issues associated with the
use of hydrogen. Using the aerospace industry standard, “Guide to Safety of Hydrogen and Hydrogen Systems,” AIAA G-095-2004,
this course presents basic safety philosophy and principles and reviews a practical set of guidelines for safe hydrogen use. The
information presented in this course is intended as a reference to hydrogen systems design and operations and handling practices;
users are encouraged to assess their individual programs and develop additional requirements as needed. The course focuses pri-
marily on aerospace applications, but other uses are also covered.
Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS): A Practical Introduction (Instructors: Ian Halliwell, Edward Butzin, and
Paul Johnson)
The objective of this course is to give attendees a working knowledge of Numerical Propulsion System Simulation or NPSS
software and allow them to create and/or modify system models using this tool. The course material will discuss the object-oriented
architecture and how it is used in NPSS to develop flexible yet robust models. A detailed presentation of NPSS execution options,
syntax, and interfaces with external codes will be addressed. Overviews of NPSS operation (i.e., Solver, etc.) will also be included.
The attendees will be interactively involved with the material by performing exercises on their personal hardware that demon-
strates and further clarifies the material being discussed in the lecture. All attendees will be provided with a reduced capability ver-
sion of NPSS for their use during the course and will be permitted to keep it after the course is completed.
Tactical Missile Design—Integration (Instructor: Eugene L. Fleeman)
This is a self-contained short course on the fundamentals of tactical missile design and integration. The course provides a sys-
tem-level, integrated method for missile aerodynamic configuration/propulsion design and analysis. It addresses the broad range
of alternatives in meeting performance, cost and other measures of merit requirements such as robustness, lethality, accuracy,
observables, survivability, and reliability. Methods are generally simple closed-form analytical expressions that are physics-based,
to provide insight into the primary driving parameters. Configuration sizing examples are presented for rocket, turbojet, and ramjet-
powered missiles. Typical values of missile parameters and the characteristics of current operational missiles are discussed.
Course Materials
Course notes will not be distributed on site. AIAA and your course instructor highly recommend that you bring your computer

able about two weeks prior to the course event, and remain available to you in perpetuity.
