LPTC Meetings Conducted during 49th Joint Propulsion Conference,
San Jose California, July 15-17, 2013
Chairman Scott Forde called the General Membership meeting to order at 6:00 PM PST (9:00
PM EST) on Wednesday, July 17, 2013. The agenda for the LPTC meeting is included as
Attachment 1. Forty-seven members were in attendance. Attachment 2 is the attendance
roster.
The LPTC Steering Group meeting took place beginning at 6:00 PM PST (9:00 PM EST) on
Monday, July 15, 2013. LPTC Vice Chairman Ivett Leyva welcomed the twelve attendees
who are indicated on the Attachment 2 attendance roster. Steering group minutes were taken
and the topics covered were discussed again in the general meeting.
Subcommittee reports and other input documents used in preparing these minutes are available
on the AIAA web site in the LPTC “Shared Documents” folder.
Key points and discussion from the general membership meeting follow:
Opening Remarks / Introduction
Scott Forde started the meeting with welcoming remarks. The agenda for this meeting was
also reviewed. Each LPTC member in attendance at the General Meeting then briefly
introduced himself.
Eric Besnard was presented with a plaque of appreciation for his leadership and effectiveness
as LPTC Chairman for the past two years. A round of applause from the LPTC members
followed.
A guest, Wayne van Leberghe, followed with a presentation describing the JANNAF Test
Practices and Standards Panel. He encouraged participation from the LPTC members and
their organizations in this effort to standardize test practices for liquid propulsion. This
JANNAF panel has prepared a test practices guidelines document, JANNAF GL-2012-01-R0.
The cost of this document is $115.
Another guest, Greg Johnston, who is the JPC Social Media Chair, made a presentation at the
LPTC General Meeting, encouraging members to use Twitter. This is the first AIAA event to

elevate social media. Twitter has been deployed to connect TAO’s, TC Committee, and
Organizing Committee with the community. A twitter board has been created at
#aiaaPropEnergy. Jeff Hamstra, the new P&E Director, asked each TC Chair to identify at
least one individual to work with Greg. Those identified should contact Greg directly
(hgregjohnston@gmail.com) to get engaged. Stewart Bushman volunteered to be the LPTC
social media point of contact for Greg.
Scott Forde briefly described the TAC organization and the Propulsion and Energy
organization, presented at the P&E meeting that he attended on July 14th. Jeff Hamstra is the
new P&E Director. The Deputy Director for Rocket & Space Propulsion, which includes the
Liquid Propulsion TC, is I-Shih Chang. Other TCs in this group are Hybrid Rockets, Solid
Rockets, and Electric Propulsion. Scott summarized the purpose and objectives of the Liquid
Propulsion Technical Committee.
The New Event Model (NEM) for restructuring conferences into five large Forums beginning
in 2014 is intended to mitigate AIAA challenges including declining membership and
declining meeting registrations. P&E objectives for the new Forums include continuing to
provide a strong technical program, reducing the number of withdrawn and no-show papers,
and focusing on quality over quantity of papers. Based upon discussions with P&E TC
Chairs, a prioritized list of P&E products and services was presented at the P&E meeting, and
initiatives were presented to energize and motivate the membership.
Old Business
Don Sargent presented Attachment 3, the list of action items from the LPTC General
Membership meeting held via WebEx and telecon on January 23, 2013. The updated status of
these Action Items is in Attachment 7.
Next, Don Sargent presented an abbreviated version of the minutes of the LPTC meeting held
via WebEx and telecon on January 23, 2013. The membership accepted, by voice vote
without objection, the minutes as written (no comments or corrections were received).
Conference Planning Updates
2013 JPC, San Jose, CA July 14th – July 17th, 2013
Silvio Chianese reported on the accomplishments and issues for 2013 JPC.
 140 LP abstracts were accepted and only 2 were rejected; 93 came through by
submitting papers, and 47 were withdrawn prior to the conference. This is a smaller
proportion of successfully submitted papers than other sessions.
 One-third of LPTC members did not review abstracts on time, nor did they indicate
that they would be late. A number of members did not review assigned abstracts at all.
 There were 29 LP technical sessions and three LP panels (LP History I and II, and
German LP). The LP History sessions were again a huge success.
 For all JPC sessions, ~650 abstracts were submitted, ~470 papers were presented, and
there were ~150 technical sessions and 21 panels. The total JPC+IECED attendance
was 862, of which 586 were fully paid attendees. Sequestration impacted attendance.


The large number of withdrawn papers left some sessions with only 1 or 2 papers.
More poor abstracts should have been rejected, since poor abstracts tend to become
withdrawals or no-shows.
Several presenters were not co-authors of the papers, but were just substitute
presenters.
Some LPTC session chairs could not travel to San Jose, but there was sufficient
coverage by LPTC co-chairs. Five session chairs / co-chairs cancelled quite late.
The goal of more detailed topic grouping for sessions seemed to be effective.
The organizing committee and the AIAA staff were dedicated and professional.
There was very good communication between Silvio and Justin Locke (2014
Organizer), resulting in effective transfer of lessons learned. Action Item 13ASM-1
was successfully completed: to provide lessons learned and recommendations to
Justin Locke for JPC 2014, summarizing his abstract review and
acceptance/rejection experience.
2014 JPC, Cleveland, July 28-30, 2014
Justin Locke will be the Liquid Propulsion Technical Organizer for 2014 JPC
The New Event Model takes effect for this conference, named the P&E Forum & Exposition
 It will also include the International Conference on Environmental Systems (ICES) and
the International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference (IECEC), as well as the
JPC. Potential to integrate the IEEE EnergyTech conference into the P&E Forum.
 The call for papers for JPC 14 will go out in April 2013, so the LPTC must make
inputs by February or March to have any impact on the announcement. There will be a
500-word minimum for abstracts.
 The site of the conference will be a new state-of-the-art convention center.
SPACE 2014, San Diego, August 4-7, 2014
 Under the New Event Model, LPTC would be responsible for organizing a few
sessions for SPACE 2014. However, this conference is only one week after 2014 JPC.
 In the History Subcommittee presentation at the General Meeting (see below), the
LPTC discussed the possibility of moving the LP History Sessions from the JPC at
Cleveland to the SPACE Forum at San Diego. This would accomplish the goal of
P&E/LPTC supporting the SPACE Forum. The History Subcommittee Chair (Kent
Pugmire) was in favor of this move, and Scott Forde was willing to accept this move
on a trial basis for SPACE 2014.
2015 JPC, Location TBD
 A request for potential volunteers to be the LPTC Technical Organizer for 2015 JPC
resulted in the following members. Bill Marshall, David Ransom, and Vineet Ahuja.
 The LPTC deferred selecting a Technical Organizer, since the conference location has
not yet been identified.
LP Undergraduate Scholarship
The $25,000 endowment made to the AIAA Foundation for scholarships in the 1990s was
discussed at the LPTC meeting held on January 23, 2013. The current LPTC scholarship
endowment balance is $30,730. An ad hoc subcommittee was created, to be named the LPTC

AIAA Liquid Propulsion Technical Committee (LPTC)
LPTC Steering Committee and General Membership Meeting Minutes, July 15 and 17, 2013
49th Joint Propulsion Conference, San Jose CA
Scholarship Subcommittee, consisting of Eric Besnard and several other members, to draft a
contract between the AIAA Foundation Board of Trustees and the LPTC. Volunteers for this
subcommittee were Brian Winters, Scott Forde, BJ Austin, and Jeff Schnackel.
This LPTC Scholarship Subcommittee did review the Foundation’s governing document and
executed the required contract for formulating guidelines for the awards and for ensuring that
the endowment remains fiscally healthy. Eric Besnard signed the contract for the LPTC and
Dr. Sandra Magnus signed for the AIAA Foundation. The scholarship awards will be for
$2,500 per year, and a floor of $25,000 in principal will be maintained. An award will be
suspended for a year following a year that the principal reaches this threshold. AIAA will
make the selection of the recipient. Action Item 13 ASM-2 was successfully completed: the
LPTC Scholarship Subcommittee executed a contract between the AIAA Foundation
Board of Trustees and the LPTC.
A new Action Item, 13 JPC-1, was generated. Eric Besnard is to maintain contact with
the AIAA Foundation Board of Trustees to keep the LPTC informed about who the LP
undergraduate scholarship recipient is and how the recipient was selected.
New Business - Subcommittee Reports
Membership Subcommittee Report – Gary Grayson
 In fulfillment of one of the continuous Action Items, Gary Grayson distributed LPTC
shirts to new members.
 At the last LPTC meeting (on January 23rd), seven new members were voted in, knowing
that the AIAA limit of 50 would be exceeded by four. However, AIAA denied our request
to exceed the limit. In response to an AIAA request to reduce TC membership, Gary sent
an e-mail to the LPTC members on July 3rd, asking all to reassess their membership and to
voluntarily resign if they or their organization may not support future participation in the
LPTC’s activities. Five members did resign: Dale Jensen, Michael Nusca, Richard
Truesdell, William Wang, and Nobuhiro Yamanishi. David Lineberry initially resigned,
but subsequently withdrew his resignation. The LPTC thanks these individuals for their
service.
 As of July 17, 2013, we have 49 current members with the distributions shown in
Attachment 4 (by employment category) and in Attachment 5 (by AIAA membership
category).
 Members were encouraged to upgrade their AIAA membership category to Senior
Member, Associate Fellow, and Fellow.
 It was noted that the membership is not adequately represented by engineers from
Lockheed Martin or from ATK; and that the LPTC should try to recruit future
members from these organizations.
 Of the 49 members, 9 are young associate members less than 35, and 8 are international
members. So 17 (9 + 8) are not counted in the full time TC regular member limit of 35.
 Thus, we have 32 regular members (49 - 17) and 3 regular openings.
 There is a 50 member limit for the TCs unless approved, so there is one (50-49)
total opening.
 No additional applications for membership were considered at this LPTC meeting.

Awards Subcommittee Report– Alfredo Lopez
 The 2012 LPTC Best Paper Award was made to AIAA-2012-3857: Suslov, Deeken,
Haidn, “Investigation of the API-Injection Concept in a LOX/LH2 Combustion
Chamber at GG/PB Operation Conditions”.
 The $1,000 LPTC Student and Young Professional Awards were made this year. Five
nomination packages were received for each award. The candidates were excellent.
 The Student Award was made to Jeffrey Wegener of AFRL/UCLA.
 The Young Professional Award was made to Matthew McKeown of SpaceX.
 The Wyld Award was cancelled for 2013.

49th Joint Propulsion Conference, San Jose CA
an energetic round of applause from the LPTC membership, indicative of the
Committee’s appreciation for Kent’s efforts and accomplishments over the years.
 Eric Besnard presented a plaque to Kent for this award at the History Session
that Kent chaired.
 This satisfies the second half of Action Item 12 JPC-1, “Awards
subcommittee should nominate candidates and make selections for the
LPTC Lifetime Achievement Award and for the LPTC Service Award.”
The first half of this Action Item is deferred to the next meeting.
Education Subcommittee Report – Alan Frankel
 Jeff Schnackel of the Education Subcommittee reported on the STEM initiative.
 A STEM Materials folder has been created on LPTC webpage under “Shared
Documents”. The materials were developed by NASA and the folder will
continue to be populated as additional materials are found.
 A simple wooden “Newton Car” is an example, using rubber bands to
demonstrate the relationship among mass, acceleration, and force.
 Another educational potential is a Suitcase Rocket assembly that could be shipped or
brought along on a plane flight as checked luggage. It was designed by ORBITEC to
operate with small GOX and propane torch bottles that can be purchased at a local
hardware store at the destination. Chip Sauer was responsible for bringing the Suitcase
Rocket information to the Education Subcommittee. A discussion followed about the
possibility of the LPTC acquiring a Suitcase Rocket assembly and operating it as an
instructional demonstration. The discussion focused upon the ensuing risks and
liabilities for the LPTC and for the AIAA. The Committee’s recommendation is for
this potential activity to be presented to the AIAA P&E Group.
 Action Item 13 JPC-2 was assigned to Scott Forde, to present the Suitcase
Rocket proposal to the P&E Director, Jeff Hamstra, to judge the benefit
vs. the potential liability.
 Alan Frankel presented changes that were made to the AIAA Professional
Development course guidelines:

 Alan Frankel presented the status of the LP Short Course for 2013 JPC
 24 attendees are expected
 Day 1, Fundamentals of Rocket Propulsion, has been structured as training. This
satisfies Action Item 12 JPC-2, “Structure the outline and curriculum of the

training.”
 Day 2 is structured and a Survey of Topical Areas (Applications)
Other Course Options Under Consideration - Education Subcommittee to assess and
produce recommendation
 TC run Short Course (2 day or 1 day)
 Lessons Learned Course
 AIAA Webinar Series
History Subcommittee Report – Kent Pugmire
 The LOX/Hydrocarbon Propulsion History Session at 2013 JPC was an overwhelming
success (with a packed room) with well informed and interesting speakers and good
content. Recordings were successful and will be available at 2014 JPC or by direct order
to the subcommittee.
 Invitations were extended to the Head of the Russian Federal Space Agency and NPO
Energomash. A later invitation was extended to the Ukrainian Space Agency. All parties
accepted. However, plans changed due to current issues.
 The History Subcommittee appreciates the involvement of AIAA, NASA, Aerojet
Rocketdyne, and Standex-Spincraft, which contributed funding and support.
 Particular recognition is made to:
 Bob Sackheim, who provided content advice and became deeply involved. He
may have collected sufficient data for a book. He and David Christensen
interviewed sources and assembled the early histories and information pertaining to
the Redstone, Vanguard and Juno. David Christensen worked with Von Braun and
has many slides.
 The History Subcommittee greatly regret Bob Sackheim’s incapacitation and
inability to attend this year’s JPC.
 B J Austin and associates for filming, editing film & DVD duplication.
 Alfredo Lopez for preparation of LPTC Recognition Certificates.
 Great support was provided by others of the LPTC and the Conference Chairman,
Joaquin Castro.
 A continuing challenge is finding a way to fund retiree's JPC travel (hotel and registration
fee). Nashville was difficult. Denver and San Diego easy. Atlanta – the best – no
problems, only minor expense. San Jose very good, thanks to two companies that
provided support.
 History Subcommittee members have contributed out of pocket to taping and some
speaker travel expense. Donations for copies of taped sessions will be applied to cover
possible incidental expense. Thanks to those who have and those who will order and
obtain sets of DVDs.
 There is now adequate equipment for recording both video and sound at History Sessions.
 Volunteers are sought to catalogue and synopsize the recorded History Sessions. Kent
requested interested members to contact him.
 Action Item 12 JPC-3, “Investigate using the already-recorded history sessions as
webinar courses, to be offered by LPTC”, remains open. An associated marketing
approach is to offer these recordings as training materials to companies.

Liaison Reports
 European Liaison report - Cristoph Kirchberger presented for Oskar Haidn.
 Two conférences have been established in Europe that usually attract 500 to 700
people.
 Space Propulsion conference series in even years, dedicated solely to space propulsion
issues, the most recent one, “Space Propulsion 2012” took place in May 7-10, 2012 in
Bordeaux. SPACE Propulsion 2014 will take place in May, 22-24, 2014 in Cologne,
Germany.
 EUCASS (European Conference on Aerospace Sciences ) in odd years, dedicated to
aerospace sciences, the most recent one took place in July 2013 in Munich. The site
of EUCASS 2015 isn’t decided yet. Encourage Americans to attend - very few
Americans have attended in the past.
 ASME Liaison Report - Tom Giel
 Advanced Propulsion Concepts (APC): 7 Sessions at the 2013 JPC, with 21 papers
 Systems Concepts & Supporting Propulsion Technologies (SCP): 7 Sessions at the
2013 JPC, with 24 papers. Soliciting new Topic Area Organizer for SCP Sessions.
 Improved Call for Papers, but lost over 40% with travel restrictions, mostly
 Looking at adding TC subcommittees (i.e. Advanced Vehicles Systems)
 Seeking more TC Volunteers/Contributors, and adding WebEx meetings
Summary of New and Updated Action Items
 Two new action items were assigned in the meeting. They were reviewed and agreed
upon by the LPTC members.

Plans for Future LPTC Meetings
 The LPTC discussed whether the winter meeting (in January 2014) should be by telecon
and WebEx, vs. face-to-face at ASM. The consensus of the members was that the LPTC
January meeting should be by telecon and WebEx.
 The third week in January was chosen for this winter meeting. Chairman Scott
Forde will select from Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of that week.
 A poll of the members was taken for the preferred time for this telecon/WebEx
winter meeting. The results were: 11 votes for 4 PM Pacific Time; 24 votes for 7
AM Pacific Time; and 19 votes for Noon Pacific Time. Therefore, the meeting
will be held at 7 AM Pacific Time (10 AM Eastern Time).
