Manifestations of sudden commencement of a severe magnetic storm of November 20, 2003, in generation of an SC pulse, <Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis><Subscript>SC</Subscript> pulsations,and spatial modulation of the auroral brightness

The results of investigation of the geomagnetic and auroral response to the commencement of a severe magnetic storm of November 20, 2003, are presented. It is established that the onset of SC led to the brightening of the auroral arc in the dusk sector for 2–3 min with its extent to the east with a velocity of 10–20 km/s and to displacement poleward with a velocity of 1.0 km/s. Furtheron, the fast auroral expansions of short duration (5 min) to the pole up to 2–4°were observed, repeating every 5–10 min during 40 min, which led to the spatial modulation of the brightness of the glow and to generation of P_SC pulsations with similar periods of oscillations. The broadening of aurora poleward had a steplike character, with generation of new arcs poleward of previous ones 5 arcs per 1.5 min. The modulation of brightness of the glow and P_SC were observed against the background of intensification of a two-cell DP2 type current system and were accompanied by multiple turnings of the IMF B_z from south to north and back. It is assumed that the source of P_SC pulsations was a modulation of the intensity of the DP2 ionosphere currents as a result of variations of the magnetosphere convection level.Translated from Kosmicheskie Issledovaniya, Vol. 42, No. 6, 2004, pp. 608–615.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Baishev, Borisov, Velichko, Solovyev, Yumoto.     

结合TEC的泵驱两相温控系统的空间应用

Sporadic plasma streams and their sources in the period of extraordinary solar activity from October 26 to November 6, 2003

Based on the results of investigations made by various authors applying different semiempirical models, we have formulated the principles of a complex method that allows one to associate sporadic streams of the solar wind (SW) at the Earths orbit with coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are their sources on the Sun. This method is applied to an analysis of the events in the interval from October 26 to November 6, 2003. It is shown that, in the period under consideration, which is close to the maximum of solar activity, the majority of CMEs (up to 80% of their total number) turn out to be at the base of a chain of streamers. It is also shown that the component of the interplanetary magnetic field is the main factor of geoeffectiveness for six sporadic SW streams. At the same time, an unusually low value of the index minD_st< -300 nT for two streams with the velocities V_max > 1000 km/s is a consequence of the fact that they are not isolated; i.e., the subsequent stream moves through the medium disturbed by the preceding stream.Translated from Kosmicheskie Issledovaniya, Vol. 42, No. 6, 2004, pp. 595–607.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by M.

镍基单晶冷却叶片高温持久性的理论与试验研究

采用含有0~4排气膜孔的薄壁平板试样模拟镍基单晶冷却叶片,研究了气膜孔排布对镍基单晶冷却叶片高温持久性的影响,并基于晶体塑性理论建立单晶材料蠕变数值计算模型,将其编入Abaqus用户子程序中,对不同气膜孔排布的薄壁平板试件进行有限元分析。试验结果表明,在气膜孔数相同的情况下,随着气膜孔排数的逐渐增多,冷却叶片高温持久寿命不断降低,且下降趋势逐渐加剧。文中提出了基于有限元数据的高温持久寿命预测幂函数模型,在对应孔排布、应力、温度条件下,其相对误差均小于3%,有限元分析得到的应力场分布结果与试样的断口形貌相吻合。     

Global geomagnetic response to a sharp compression of the magnetosphere and IMF variations on October 29, 2003

We study the response of the ionosphere and magnetosphere to a sudden commencement (SC) on October 29, 2003, at 06:11 UT. It is shown that the geomagnetic response had the form of two successive stages. In the first 5 min after the SC, a strong intensification of a two-vortex current system of the DP2 type was observed in latitudes 67°-65°, with variations of H -4000 nT (+700 nT). At the same time, energetic electrons were injected without dispersion to geosynchronous orbits simultaneously in the sectors 16, 04, and 07 MLT. In the subsequent 5–15 min, a new intensification of the western electrojet took place in all time sectors at latitudes 70°. Around midnight, this electrojet was extended in the poleward direction up to the polar cap latitudes ( 75°-83°). It had an unusually high velocity of extension (up to 5.0 km/s) and was accompanied by typical dispersionless substorm injections, but only at meridians 04 and 07 MLT. From comparing the development of electrojets with the data of satellite observations in the solar wind and magnetosphere, we suggest that 3–5 min after the SC onset a dipolization of the magnetic field at the geosynchronous orbit occurred. It was connected with the decay of the current flowing across the magnetotail. The subsequent extension of the region of current decay into the tail up to 150 R_E proceeded with a velocity of 1000 km/s, which exceeds the known velocities of such an extension by a factor of 5.Translated from Kosmicheskie Issledovaniya, Vol. 42, No. 6, 2004, pp. 622–631.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Solovyev, Moiseyev, Mullayarov, Du, Engebretson, Newitt.     

Design, performance, and experiment capabilities of the AGHF: ESA''s advanced gradient furnace for spacelab

AGHF is a Bridgman Furnace Facility for directional solidification experiments in microgravity environment with very well controlled heater temperatures up to 1400°C. A laboratory model and an engineering model exist, the flight model will be built at the end of 1991. The furnace uses heater elements made of W-Re wire wound on a solid TZM heat diffuser, diffuser temperature control by Pt/PtRh thermocouples to ±0.2 K, and a water cooled cooling zone regulated by a thermostatic valve to ±0.3 K. AGHF experiments use front loaded cartridges, which can use conductive coupling to the cooling zone by a liquid metal ring or radiative cooling. The laboratory model furnace, mounted in a dedicated vacuum chamber with peripherals controlled by a commercial computer, was intensively tested up to 1400°C, as specified for the AGHF by ESA, and at 1500°C in a life test under a technology development programme of ESA. Notable laboratory model results are gradients of 95 K/cm in solid Ni of 18 mm dia, with conductive cooling zone coupling by liquid metal, and 70 K/cm with radiative cooling in ZrO₂. EM test are not yet complete, but first tests indicate similar or better results, especially of gradient constancy vs pulling stroke over 140 mm. The first heater model sustained 400 h at 1000°C, 800 h at 1300°C, and 400 h at 1500°C.     

Liquid rocket engine test facility engineering challenges

Liquid rocket engines for launch vehicles and space crafts as well as their subsystems need to be verified and qualified during hot-runs. A high test cadence combined with a flexible test team helps to reduce the cost for test verification during development/qualification as well as during acceptance testing for production. Test facility intelligence allows to test subsystems in the same manner as during complete engine system tests and will therefore reduce development time and cost.This paper gives an overview of the maturing of test engineering know how for rocket engine test stands as well as high altitude test stands for small propulsion thrusters at EADS-ST in Ottobrunn and Lampoldshausen and is split into two parts:

• Part 1 gives a historical overview of the EADS-ST test stands at Ottobrunn and Lampoldshausen since the beginning of Rocket propulsion activities in the 1960s.

• Part 2 gives an overview of the actual test capabilities and the test engineering know-how for test stand construction/adaptation and their use during running programs.

Examples of actual realised facility concepts are given to demonstrate cost saving potential for test programs in both cases for development/qualification issues as well as for production purposes.
