LPTC Membership Subcommittee ReportJuly 2006


This report provides a brief summary of progress of the Membership Subcommittee over the past year. Included in this report is a summary of changes to personnel in the Liquid Propulsion Technical Committee (LPTC) membership, a summary of changes to LPTC AIAA membership status, and a breakdown of the current makeup of the committee.

Membership Roster Much of the effort associated with the Membership Subcommittee is maintaining a current roster with updated information of all committee members. The roster has had several changes over the past few years as several members left of their own accord and some were requested to step down to make room for others in the same organization. Those that were the least active on the committee over the past three years were also targeted with a request to step down.

Currently, the roster contains a good mix of professionals in the liquid propulsion area. This will be shown later in the report. Table 1 shows the current list of names on the roster. The following folks were removed from the LPTC over the past year:

o Han Nguyen (replaced by another Boeing Engineer, Gary Grayson)o Pat Hoar (requested to step down)o Andrew Crocker (changed jobs to Aerojet and stepped down)o Jeff Thornburg (was requested to step down by LPTC)o Toshiya Kimura (requested to step down)o Tim Bulk (requested to step down)o Jacky Calvignac (was replaced by another Northrop Grumman Engineer, Max Roler)

At the Reno conference in 2006, there were six new nominees officially admitted to the LPTC. These include:

o Don Sargent from the Federal Aviation Administrationo Michael Nusca from the Army Research Laboratoryo Gary Grayson from Boeing – Huntington Beacho Richard Cohn from the Air Force Research Laboratoryo Scott Glubke from NASA -Goddard Space Flight Centero Paul Gloyer from Gloyer-Taylor Laboratories LLC

The LPTC charter for membership is 35 members but it is noted that members 35 and younger and international members do not count against this total. The roster in Table 1 shows a total of 37 members where 5 are international and 3 members are 35 or younger. Therefore, there are a total of 29 members that qualify against the limit of 35 showing the committee is within the charter limits for membership.

Also, each member is requested to provide and maintain an updated resume that contains a brief biography and picture of themselves. This biography is placed on the LPTC web site for public viewing on the internet. All members, with one exception, have a current

biography that has been placed on the web site.

It is also worth mentioning that each of the new members was sent a letter discussing the charter and objectives of the LPTC and a description of each subcommittee. This package of information will be useful for new members as they get oriented to their new venture.

Membership UpgradesThe membership subcommittee spent considerable effort during the past year of upgrading the AIAA membership status of several individuals. The following members were upgraded in part through the efforts of the Membership Subcommittee.

• Eric Besnard – Member to Senior Member• David Coote – Senior Member to Associate Fellow• Scott Forde – Senior Member to Associate Fellow• Pat Hoar – Member to Senior Member• Gaspare Maggio – Senior Member to Associate Fellow• David Perry – Senior Member to Associate Fellow• Roland Ryden – Member to Senior Member• Pat Sgarlata – Senior Member to Associate Fellow• Bill Wang – Senior Member to Associate Fellow• Ron Wojner – Member to Senior Member

Of particular note is that six members were upgraded to Associate Fellow during the past year, which was a huge accomplishment by the LPTC. Many members of the LPTC had to spend time supporting the nominations of these individuals. The entire LPTC should be proud of this accomplishment.

Membership BreakdownThe last section of the membership report will cover the make up of the LPTC. Several pie charts are provided showing the distribution of the 37-member LPTC. Figure 2 shows the breakdown of the committee by AIAA membership status showing that Senior members dominate the committee with 54% of the committee being Senior members. There are 11 Associate Fellows.

Figure 3 shows the distribution of United States members versus international members. The results show that 5 out of the 37 members are international. The figure shows the countries represented.

Figure 4 shows the distribution of members by profession and includes the breakdown of industry versus government versus academia. The majority of members are representing U.S. industry but the number of U.S. government members is on the rise compared to last year with three of the new members representing the U.S. government.

SUMMARYThe Charter of the Membership Subcommittee reveals the following responsibilities:1. Update and maintain LPTC membership listing with regard to affiliation, position, address,

phone number, FAX number and year of selection to the LPTC;2. Update and maintain subcommittee assignment listings;3. Transmit communications concerning membership application forms, ground rules,

supervisory approval forms and termination dates;4. Provide communications of welcome for new LPTC members, communications to remind

of commitment to responsible managers and letter of appreciation for outgoing members;5. Nominate LPTC members for the position of Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Secretary; and6. Respond to requests for AIAA nominations for various functions as requested. This report showed that items #1 and #2 are addressed in Figure 1. Items #3 and #4 were each alluded to within the report and have been accomplished over the past year. Item #6 was also accomplished with several upgrades in AIAA membership status within the committee. Lastly, item #5 is addressed during the LPTC meetings but as was shown earlier, all positions within the committee are currently assigned. Therefore, over the past year, the membership subcommittee has met all of the goals of the LPTC charter.

A special acknowledgement is given to Mr. Scott Forde for his support in all of the Membership Subcommittee tasks.

2006 JPC Observations and Lessons Learned

• A venue where all LP sessions can be co-located and all sessions can be in one facility is a huge plus

• Arranging medium to large size rooms with tables significantly improved their utility• The AIAA online abstract/paper database interface still needs major improvements to

the user interface– All abstract and session planning still had to be done “by hand” in excel– Abstracts not separated down to the topic level– Real-time status of abstract and manuscript uploads could only be obtained by

logging in as each author one paper at a time– Papers had to be reviewed before being placed into sessions– Area coordinators did not have access to all necessary data– BUT, database “dumps” were periodically made by AIAA that did provide

useful information• The Call for Papers needs to be carefully laid out with bullets for each anticipated

session topic

2006 JPC Observations and Lessons Learned (Cont’d)

The move to a completely electronic conference did not necessarily improve the problem of withdrawn papers, however, it did minimize their impact because the final program and errata sheet closely reflected what was actually presentedAuthors with multiple papers in the same topic area should be treated carefully (if they withdraw both a huge hole can be created)

• Consider splitting their papers between sessions• Consider putting their papers at the end of the session

Some last minute “gap-filler” efforts were successful• Oral presentations in lieu of full papers• Repeat of good presentations (e.g. MESSENGER flight performance)• Videos (e.g. NK-33)• Addition of new papers (however these should be placed at/near the beginning of

sessions if possible)• In order to conform with AIAA’s process, LPTC sessions need to be organized and

labeled alphabetically by day• ITAR continues to be a problem for paper approval• Some authors/sites continue to have problems with late withdrawals or no-shows

– China– Iran– India– South Korea

• We need to find some way to deal with sessions that have been “decimated” by withdrawals

• Suggestion for next year’s history session – bipropellant engines?– Since we did monopropellant history this year– Could be in-space or booster/upper stage

AIAA LPTC NEWS ---- Concept ---- Suggestions -----Questions

LPTC Ignition: Maggio’s Vision for LPTC

Each Issue will be For Chair, Secretary, Etc. to Provide Some Vision, Direction, Thoughts on LPTC

LPTC Member Barney Gorin Successfully Launches Advanced Technology Upper stageBarney Gorin as a member of NRL Propulsion Engineering Team successfully launched the Upper Stage Module etc…..

Have major article on LPTC Members Accomplishments, Items of Interest, etc.Possibly Small Paragraph with Website links.

• Additional Items to Include:- Awards- Promotions- Job Changes

- Mike Hersh now Works for Ardé?! Now there’s an Article- Meeting/Conference Updates- Job Openings

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions

• Should We Have a Section for Each Subcommittee?

• What Legal Liabilities do We have?- Can we put websites links in newsletter?- Do we have to get approval from organizations for articles included (i.e. if we did

an article on Stereo Launch do we need APL approval?)

• How Often Should We Publish This?

• How Can We Use This As a Tool to Better LPTC?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope to get approval to use MEI Graphics Department for Finishing Format Touches.
