Description
USBI, a Division of United Technologies/ is responsible for the assembly, checkout and refurbishment of the structural, guidance and recovery components of the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) as part of the NASA Space Transportation system/ Space Shuttle. The work is performed at Kennedy Space Center/ Florida and the contract is administered by Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville/ Alabama. Figure 1 shows the SRB and associated hardware that USBI is responsible for. Recently/ a considerable effort was made to qualify the use of Plastic Media Blasting (PMB) for safely and effectively removing paint and other coatings from SRB aluminum structures. As a result of the effort an improvement was made in the design of surface finishing equipment for processing flight hardware/ in addition to a potentially patentable idea on improved plastic media composition.
