What are the strengths of NASGRO?
MATERIAL PROPERTIES A major strength of the NASGRO software is its large database of fracture mechanics and fatigue crack growth properties, mainly for aerospace alloys and for some generally used metallic materials. The fracture mechanics data which have been curve fit for this release of NASGRO are contained in a

What is the flagship program?
The Flagship Program is a series of NASA missions to explore the Solar System. It is the largest and most expensive of three classes of NASA Solar System Programs—the other two being the medium-cost New Frontiers Program and the lowest-cost Discovery Program .
What is NASA’s mission competition program?
In the early 1990s, NASA made the decision that instead of a centrally planned mission approach around pre-selected targets, mission ideas would be competed. The competitions would be based in cost categories, eventually turning into the Discovery, New Frontiers, and Flagship programs.

What is Sofia?
SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center. NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley manages the SOFIA program, science, and mission operations in cooperation with the Universities Space Research Association, headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, and the German SOFIA Institute at the University of Stuttgart.
Who built NASA’s SOFIA telescope?
NASA and DLR have awarded industry contracts to deliver on their appointed tasks. The SOFIA telescope was developed and built by two companies on behalf of DLR: MT-Mechatronics (previously MAN) and Kayser-Threde. It was delivered for integration at Waco, Texas, on an Airbus Beluga transport aircraft.
What is Sofia doing in New Zealand?
SOFIA regularly flies to Christchurch, New Zealand, to study objects only visible in the skies over the Southern Hemisphere, and completed one science flight from Germany in 2019. But this is the first time a multi-flight observing campaign will be conducted over European soil.
