DESCRIPTION:The Huntsville\, AL Chapter of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compati
 bility (EMC) Society invites you to participate in a Technical Meeting on 
 February 12\, 2026\, featuring a talk given by Mr. Matthew McGrath. The pr
 ogram will begin at 5:30 pm with Jason Smith of Absolute-EMC sponsoring a 
 free meal. Mr. McGrath’s technical presentation will begin at approximat
 ely 6:20 pm after some short chapter status updates.\n\nMeal – Jim ‘N 
 Nick’s BBQ\n\nPulled Pork\, Pulled Chicken\, Baked Beans\, Coleslaw\, Ch
 eese Biscuits\, Buns\, Banana Pudding\, Sweet/Un-Sweet Tea\, and Water\n\n
 Co-sponsored by: Meal Sponsor: Jason Smith\, Absolute-EMC\n\nSpeaker(s): M
 atthew McGrath\n\nAgenda: \n[][]“The Flight of the Mighty Eagle”\n\nSy
 nopsis:\n\nI was sitting at my desk when my boss came to me and said his b
 oss’s boss told me to go to a building on the ARMY side of Redstone Arse
 nal and help resolve a technical problem. When I got there the people look
 ed at me and asked what I was doing here. I told them I did not know.\n\nA
 s you know Engineers solve problems using physics\, math\, testing\, data 
 and analysis and their experience. We are not magicians. After a while the
 y told me their device\, an Automatous Robotic steam power Moon Lander\, h
 ad broken all 3 of its mechanical restraints and smashed into a rope restr
 aining net.\n\nI find myself in a position that no engineer would want to 
 be in. I knew nothing about the project\, no data\, electrical schematics\
 , mechanical diagrams or operating systems information.\n\nI asked what ha
 d happened with the first test of the Warm Gas Test Article (WGTA) and was
  told it went extremely bad. If the rope netting had not been there it wou
 ld have destroyed itself.\n\nThe significant event that occurred was the m
 echanical restraints breaking at lift-off.\n\nWhen they broke the WGTA the
  ground was lost and caused a static discharge (arc).\n\nThe arc created a
  voltage spike that coupled into the cable going to the Autonomous Navigat
 ion and Control Module (AN&amp;CM) and caused it to reset.\n\nThus\, the WGTA 
 did not know where it was and kept the steam propulsion going until the Em
 ergency Shutdown was activated.\n\nThis presentation describes my task to 
 eliminate/minimize the arcing-effects.\n\nRoom: IslandView\, Bldg: East To
