The Shell Buckling Knockdown Factor Project, or
SBKF means
lower-cost heavy-lift launch vehicles
the NESC peer review team felt that SBKF
was a potential breakthrough solution to reduce structural mass
and increase payload.
the SPKF team is on schedule to test a 27.5 foot diameter
external tank derived test article at Marshall Space Flight Center
in fiscal year 2011
SBKF, NESC a multicenter multi-discipline team working together
to develop new structural design technologies for the next generation of
efficient
low-cost reliable launch vehicles, that will enable nasa
to achieve its space exploration goals
