NASA Supercomputers Predict How Vibrations Vary With Altitude for Orion Abort Scenarios
To help ensure astronaut safety if an emergency arises during launch, NASA researchers are using their cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics software to perform simulations that predict how altitude will affect vibration levels in Orion’s launch abort system.
