Monday, 12 July, 1300–1700 hrsBarcelona and Gaudi (Price per person: $70)Begin from the hotel with a guide introducing modernism

architecture found in many of the building façades and struc-tures designed by Antonio Gaudi. You will be able to admire Barcelona’s waterfront in the direction of the Sagrada Family estate and enjoy a visit of Gaudi’s unfinished expiatory church of the Sagrada Family, one of the landmarks of Barcelona, with three façades dedicated to Christ’s Nativity, Passion, and Glory. Next stop is Park Guell, designed at the beginning of the 20th century. The tour continues on the Eixample and to Paseo de Gracia, where the most representative Modernist houses are located. A chartered coach will return you to the Hotel Fira Palace.

Tuesday, 13 July, 1000–1400 hrs Gothic Quarter and Picasso Museum (Price per person: $63)Depart by coach toward the Gothic Quarter, the original heart

of the city. Although a good number of its distinctive buildings

B14 AiAA Bulletin / April 2010

belong to this style, the Gothic Quarter consists of various archi-tectural elements from different styles side by side, representing the whole of the two-thousand-year history of Barcelona. The visit to the Gothic Quarter is on foot and starts at the Cathedral and Plaza del Rei (King’s Square). The Cathedral is a good example of the upright feature of Catalan Gothic Architecture. Interesting visits include the cloister, the chapter house, and the Holy “Cristo de Lepanto.” View Plaza del Rey, the center of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, and admire the Grand Royal Palace, former residence of the Counts of Barcelona; Torre del Rei Martí; the Chapel of Santa Agata. The tour continues to Plaça Sant Jaume—St.James’ Square—the site of the Catalan autonomous Government Palace and the City Hall. Visit one of the jewels of Barcelona, the Picasso Museum. The collection of Picasso’s work is particularly strong from his early period, with some of his schoolbook sketches on display, and strong works from his early days in Barcelona and Paris. Rejoin the coach that will return you to the Hotel Fira Palace.

Wednesday, 14 July, 1000–1500 hrsMontserrat (Price per person: $43)From the hotel, a coach will drive to Montserrat Monastery.

To visit the monastery, you’ll ride up 4,072-foot-high Montserrat mountain along hairpin curves through magnificent scenery and past remote hermitages. Built amid towering peaks in an almost inaccessible location 36 miles from Barcelona, the Monastery of Montserrat is a renowned shrine and home to many legends. Parsifal is said to have found the Holy Grail here. St. Peter left a statue of the Virgin Mary carved by St. Luke. Honeymooners flock here seeking the blessing of the Black Virgin. You’ll visit the 16th-century basilica with its lovely façade designed by Francesc del Vilar. Inside, you’ll see the statue of the Black Virgin found buried in the mountain in the 12th century. Called La Moreneta (the Brunette), she is still the Patroness of Catalonia. other high-lights include the Cami de la Cova, where it is said the Virgin appeared. Along with the Benedictine monks, Montserrat is also home to the Escolania. These are the singers in the oldest boys choir in Europe, founded in the 12th century. Following the visit of the monastery, you will return by coach to Hotel Fira Palace.

Air Breathing Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) Technology (Sponsored by the AIAA Air Breathing Technical Committee, lead by D.E. Musielak)

The PDE Technology short course is designed to present a comprehensive overview of air-breathing Pulse Detonation Engines, including detonation combustion theory, performance metrics, fuels and initiation systems, detonation physics research, technical challenges, and opportunities for development of PDEs. This course will be taught by instructors who are renowned experts from government and industrial organizations actively engaged in PDE propulsion R&D. They will discuss state of the art, challenges, and development trends of this exciting propulsion technology.

Liquid Propulsion Systems—Evolution and Advancements (Sponsored by the AIAA Liquid Propulsion Technical Committee, lead by Alan Frankel)

Liquid propulsion systems are critical to launch vehicle and spacecraft performance, safety, and cost. This two-day course, taught by a team of propulsion experts, will cover Rocket Propulsion Fundamentals; Propulsion Chemistry; Converting Chemistry into Performance; Launch Vehicle Propulsion; Spacecraft Propulsion; and Applying Propulsion Lessons Learned.

Hydrogen Safety Course (Instructors: Steve McDougle and Stephen Woods)The Hydrogen Safety course is intended to provide the student with a working knowledge of safety issues associated with the

use of hydrogen. Using the aerospace industry standard, “Guide to Safety of Hydrogen and Hydrogen Systems,” AIAA G-095-2004, this course presents basic safety philosophy and principles and reviews a practical set of guidelines for safe hydrogen use. The information presented in this course is intended as a reference to hydrogen systems design and operations and handling practices; users are encouraged to assess their individual programs and develop additional requirements as needed. The course focuses pri-marily on aerospace applications, but other uses are also covered.

Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS): A Practical Introduction (Instructors: Ian Halliwell, Edward Butzin, and Paul Johnson)

The objective of this course is to give attendees a working knowledge of Numerical Propulsion System Simulation or NPSS software and allow them to create and/or modify system models using this tool. The course material will discuss the object-oriented architecture and how it is used in NPSS to develop flexible yet robust models. A detailed presentation of NPSS execution options, syntax, and interfaces with external codes will be addressed. Overviews of NPSS operation (i.e., Solver, etc.) will also be included.

The attendees will be interactively involved with the material by performing exercises on their personal hardware that demon-strates and further clarifies the material being discussed in the lecture. All attendees will be provided with a reduced capability ver-sion of NPSS for their use during the course and will be permitted to keep it after the course is completed.

Tactical Missile Design—Integration (Instructor: Eugene L. Fleeman)This is a self-contained short course on the fundamentals of tactical missile design and integration. The course provides a sys-

tem-level, integrated method for missile aerodynamic configuration/propulsion design and analysis. It addresses the broad range of alternatives in meeting performance, cost and other measures of merit requirements such as robustness, lethality, accuracy, observables, survivability, and reliability. Methods are generally simple closed-form analytical expressions that are physics-based, to provide insight into the primary driving parameters. Configuration sizing examples are presented for rocket, turbojet, and ramjet-powered missiles. Typical values of missile parameters and the characteristics of current operational missiles are discussed.

Course MaterialsCourse notes will not be distributed on site. AIAA and your course instructor highly recommend that you bring your computer
