Title of Project : Investigating Borescope Technology for On-Orbit Vehicle Applications
Statement of Intended work:
Anomalies such as corrosion, structural damage, misalignment, cracking, stress fractures, pitting, or wear can be detected and/or monitored by the aid of a borescope. Although rigid borescopes have the best optic properties, it is the flexible borescope that offers the articulating capabilities needed for going around a curve, corner, or simply looking at an anomaly from different angles. This articulating action is accomplished by use of internal servo controls that deflect the viewing tip in several planes. Flexible borescopes also use a fiber optic bundle that carry the image back to an imaging device for display and/or transmittal. The objective of the project is to investigate borescope technology for EVA-compatible inspection tool for on-orbit Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) applications. Video images recorded as a result of this tool will allow for damage assessment to be made by either on-orbit or qualified ground control personnel. The findings of this project will support NASA’s Nondestructive Evaluation Working Group (NNEWG) goals and objectives of developing and maintaining strategic NDE capabilities for assuring the safety of space systems and crew. This will allow crew members to optically evaluate the integrity of components that might otherwise not be possible due to volumetric constraints of an EVA space suit.
