SpaceX and NASA Still Determining Reasons for Falcon 9 Engine Failure, Other Anomalies
he overall success of SpaceX's first operational cargo mission to the International Space Station (ISS) last month overshadowed the fact that the mission also encountered several problems, including the failure of one of the nine Falcon 9 engines.
Speaking to the NASA Advisory Council's Human Exploration and Operations Committee today, ISS program manager Mike Suffredini said that Space X is still trying to determine what happened to the engine. NASA is participating in the investigation, he said, and a fault tree analysis is underway.
Several other problems also arose during the mission. While berthed to the ISS, one of the three computers on the Dragon spacecraft failed. Dragon can operate with only two computers, and SpaceX chose to proceed with the two functioning units rather than trying to fix the faulty unit while on orbit. According to Suffredini's charts, Flight Computer-B "de-synched" from the other two "due to a suspected radiation hit" and although it was rebooted successfully, it was "not resynched." Dragon experienced other anomalies because of radiation as well. One of three GPS units, the Propulsion and Trunk computers and Ethernet switch all experienced "suspected radiation hits," but all were recovered after a power cycle. Suffredini said that SpaceX is considering whether it needs to use radiation-hardened parts instead, but noted that "rad-hardened" computers, for example, not only are more expensive, but slower. He speculated that the company would ultimately decide to use rad-hardened components in the future unless it is cost-prohibitive.
Problems with one of the Draco thrusters and a loss of all three coolant pumps after splashdown also marred the mission. The Glacier freezer onboard Dragon used to return scientific samples from the ISS was at -65 degrees Centigrade (C) instead of the required -95 degrees C when it was accessed three hours after splashdown. Suffredini said that some of the samples "exceeded limits" (presumably temperature limits), but that the limits were conservative. How much of a problem the warmer temperature could cause apparently is not yet clear.
in response to a question, Suffredini said that although NASA does not have go/no-go authority over SpaceX launches, it does have influence as a customer. The company's contract requires it to deliver a certain amount of cargo to the ISS over a fixed period of time. If NASA is not sufficiently confident that the system works, it will not put its cargo aboard and "they don't get paid if I don't fly."
Despite these outstanding issues, Suffredini presented a timeline chart showing the next SpaceX mission to ISS scheduled for March 2013. That chart also listed the first flight of Orbital Science's Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the ISS for April 2013, but Suffredini advised the committee not to bank on it because he expects that date to slip.
As the briefing continued it became clear that a delay might be needed in any case because of an unresolved problem that arose when Japan's HTV cargo spacecraft was released from the ISS. The HTV automatically aborted the release when it detected an "off-nominal trajectory" resulting from friction between the grapple fixture and Canadarm2 that caused Canadarm2 to pull HTV as it was trying to back away. Suffredini said they are still investigating what happened. SpaceX uses a different configuration, so it is not issue for the next Dragon flight, he said, but Cygnus uses the same configuration as HTV and "we need to sort it out before Cygnus flies."
大概意思就是飞船上有一台计算机挂了,不过用剩下两台计算机完成了任务。
飞船溅落以后有部分空调失效,导致飞船内部分需要冷却的货物暴露在高于设定温度下,不过后果尚在评估。
评估结果将影响预定于明年3月的下一艘飞船发射任务。

没事儿,一百次事故征兆才有一次事故。
美国那次发射最终到底成不成功啊
电子设备挂的挺多的,不过叫事故隐患
Problems with one of the Draco thrusters
这应该是一台飞船的姿态控制发动机出问题了,还好,降落时只偏离了200公里。。。
