Major Completed Actions

NASA completed all awards of Science, Exploration, Cross-Agency Support, and Aeronautics contracts and cooperative agreements in accordance with applicable Program Plans and Recovery Act provisions, and more than 86% of funds appropriated have been disbursed for those projects.

Aeronautics: At the Langley Research Center (LARC), the Aeronautics Test Program completed installation of panels and cabling for the Dynamic Data System portion of the system upgrades to the National Transonic Facility Enhancements Project.

Science: For Venture Class aircraft integration for the Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment (CARVE) at the Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC), completed installation of Passive/Active L-band Sensor (PALS) on the Twin Otter aircraft, the racks were interconnected and the entire system was hangar tested.

Exploration: The Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) held their Horizontal Integration Facility ribbon cutting ceremony. Completed the Johnson Space Center (JSC) Commercial Crew Development (CCDEV) Abort system hardware demonstration.

Cross-Agency Support for Hurricane Damage Repair Projects at the Johnson Space Center (JSC): NASA continues to support a performance audit on the Cross-Agency Support JSC Hurricane Repair activities which began on August 31st.

Major
Planned Actions

NASA will continue quality assurance of quarterly recipient reporting, as well as validation/update of the NASA Master List in March.

Aeronautics: ARC installation of the new evacuation side line filter to be completed in March and a functional test of the air dryer vessels will be performed in March for the Aeronautics Test Program; Supersonics at GRC test planning and preparation will continue in support of the April 2011 wind tunnel testing.

Science: Continue Research Science, Virtual Terrestrial Observation and Prediction System (V-TOPS), sensor network installations in California; and Venture Class flight planning and a Flight Readiness Review (FRR) for the Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment (CARVE). The Airborne Science Cryospheric Evolution of the Central Antarctic Plate (ICECAP) flights for boundary conditions, and the Airborne Microwave Observatory of Subcanopy and Subsurface (AirMOSS) radar performance trade study, mechanical configuration and GeoSAR antenna performance; and the Research and Analysis Irrigation Optimization Task deployment of surface renewal instrumentation with DWR and Ryan Palm Farms, will continue in March.

Exploration: The ARES (Upper Stage) Vertical Assembly Tool software coding, as well as CCDev Abort system hardware demonstration engine assembly and Emergency Detection System (EDS) demonstration report and review will continue in March.

Cross-Agency Support for Hurricane Damage Repair Projects at the Johnson Space Center (JSC): All CAS restoration projects are completed; no additional repairs are planned.
