2002
December 2002 -
D+A has entered into a strategic alliance with Oxclove
Workshop, a leading, New York-based technology
company that specializes in the integration of business strategies
with internet technologies. Oxclove has developed intelligent
online software applications based on modeling and process-oriented
project management concepts for customers in such industries
as insurance, real estate, manufacturing. e-commerce, health
care and government.
September 2002 -
NASA's Office of Space Science has awarded approximately
$5 million to Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, for development
of low-risk, advanced electric propulsion technologies that
enable extensive exploration of hard-to-reach outer planets.
The system—dubbed HiPEP—combines a high-power
xenon ion thruster with simplified power processing and propellant
feed designs to yield a highly efficient, low-mass, electric
propulsion system for near-term, nuclear-electric spacecraft.
Derwae + Associates, a communication services
firm with offices in New York and Cleveland, provided NASA-Glenn
scientists with proposal services that included editorial,
design, graphics, layout, and production.
August 2002 -
NASA Glenn Research Center's Microgravity Combustion Branch
has released a DVD about
the Glenn-developed microgravity experiments that will be
flown aboard the Shuttle Columbia during the STS-107 mission.
The entertaining and informative DVD features a talk-show
host named Mike O'Gravity and interviews with NASA scientists
and researchers. The DVD also includes animations, videos
and photos.
Derwae + Associates, a communication services
firm with offices in New York and Cleveland, developed the
concept and script.
July 2002 -
NASA's Office of Space Science has awarded approximately
$21 million to Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, to develop
a next generation ion propulsion space flight system. This
advanced system—called NASA's Evolutionary Xexon Thruster,
or NEXT—is an alternate to conventional chemical propulsion
systems and could revolutionize the way NASA sends science
missions deeper into the solar system. (For more information,
please see the NASA
press release.)
