Volume I includes 10 of the author's published papers by the International Telemetry Foundation aerospace and defense Conference that explains why NASA, commercial and the U.S. military spacecraft and any large complex defense weapons fail prematurely at rates from 10% to 60% and how to stop them from failing using PHM technology and why the U.S. military and the U.S. government refuse to require its space systems and weapons systems suppliers to produce and deliver systems that won't fail prematurely. The author includes how he developed PHM technology on the Air Force's GPS program to win funding for the GPS program. PHM analysis done before or after ATP identifies the equipment with premature aging that will cause a premature failure for replacement at the factory before shipment to the customer and/or launch. A list of Len's papers by the ITC are included at the end that includes which volume each paper is included.
About the Author: Len's experience with communications theory occurred following his first graduation from college when he earned degrees in Physics and Mathematics simultaneously and then gained employment as an Electrical Engineer, designing, launching and controlling spacecraft for NASA and the U.S. Air Force. Academically, Len completed the requirements for three A.A. degrees, two B.S. degrees in Physics and Mathematics simultaneously, an M.A. degree and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and an M.S. degree in Education. Professionally, Len is an award winning spacecraft designer and he designed and redesigned satellites and rockets for the military and NASA as well as other national and international civil, commercial and government organizations. Len's most important accomplishment professionally occurred when he was the Boeing GPS Space and Ground Systems Manager and won funding for the U.S. Air Force's Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite-based navigation system by the Department of Defense/Pentagon, replacing two existing low earth orbiting, satellite-based navigation systems in place by the U.S. Navy. Len has also been an executive at several aerospace and defense industry companies as well as telecommunications and computer manufacturing companies. His collaborations with counseling, psychologists and psychiatrists began in 1989 and continues today, working with holistic medicine practitioners and students and in the new field of predictive medicine (PHM). When the Canadian Space Agency's personnel requested Len apply his predictive algorithms to predict which astronauts would become mentally ill on long space missions, he agreed to do it. The research by Len was published at the 2013 IEEE/AIAA Aerospace Conference in Big Sky Montana and then on the Internet based, American Journal of Applied Psychology and to NASA Headquarters in 2013. Len's research illustrated the human body and brain requires 1g of gravity for an unknown portion of time each day to survive deep space missions and his results triggered NASA to determine the long term degradation of astronaut's body's and brains by keeping an astronaut in space for one year. Six female astronauts were immediately hired and added to the 12 male astronauts because Len's research used one of NASA's female astronauts who had acquired three different mental illness while an astronaut. The surprise degradation from the first astronaut in the study after just 10 months is planned to be released by NASA in 2018.
