阿里安航天公司将在2009年发射太阳神-2B卫星

据美国防务新闻网站2006年10月12日报道，“保卫美国卫星免受攻击，最终阻止对手破坏卫星的任何能力”，正成为美国太空官员最优先考虑的事务。美国战略司令部已经启动一项“对美国太空控制活动进行指导和提升优先级”的新计划。美国战略司令部二号人物，美国空军罗伯特·凯勒中将，10月11日在战略太空与防御会议上说，改进态势感知至关重要，态势感知包括跟踪太空中的所有目标，识别那些对美国卫星构成威胁的目标，保卫美国卫星免遭它们的攻击。     

锥导乘波机的构型设计与性能研究

以圆锥绕流流场为基础,运用锥导理论生成了不同的乘波机构型,并对乘波机进行了包括升力、粘性阻力、波阻、升阻比、乘波机长度、体积、容积效率等各主要性能指标在内的性能计算,初步确定出了锥导乘波机性能的变化规律及其决定性定型参数。计算结果表明:锥导乘波机构成方法简单且具有较高的升阻比和反设计性能,源流场圆锥半锥角、乘波机上表面型线曲率半径是影响锥导乘波机性能的决定性定型参数。

预警卫星是实现导弹预警,监视、发现和跟踪敌方弹道导弹发射,并发出警报的侦察卫星。美国现役的预警卫星系统为“国防支援计划”(DSP)卫星系统。由于DSP存在着问题和未来对空间预警的需求发生变化,美国正在发展“天基红外系统”(SBIRS)。     

低碳钢Q235A搅拌摩擦焊接的接头金相组织分析

用钼合金搅拌头对3mm厚低碳钢Q235A钢板进行搅拌摩擦焊接,焊接过程中采用加辅助热源和无辅助热源两种情况,获得质量良好的焊接接头,焊接温度最高可达1000℃以上。切取焊缝区域制成试样,用光学显微镜观察其显微组织进行分析,发现焊缝接头分为母材区、热影响区及搅拌区三个明显区域,而热机械影响区不甚明显。热影响区主要为等轴晶粒铁素体和球化珠光体,搅拌区金属在焊接过程中因塑性变形发生动态再结晶,抑制了晶粒长大,冷却后获得细小的先共析铁素体、铁素体和珠光体组织。

Aqueous corrosion of phosphide minerals from iron meteorites: a highly reactive source of prebiotic phosphorus on the surface of the early Earth

We present the results of an experimental study of aqueous corrosion of Fe-phosphide under conditions relevant to the early Earth. The results strongly suggest that iron meteorites were an important source of reactive phosphorus (P), a requirement for the formation of P-based life. We further demonstrate that iron meteorites were an abundant source of phosphide minerals early in Earth history. Phosphide corrosion was studied in five different solutions: deionized water, deionized water buffered with sodium bicarbonate, deionized water with dissolved magnesium and calcium chlorides, deionized water containing ethanol and acetic acid, and deionized water containing the chlorides, ethanol, and acetic acid. Experiments were performed in the presence of both air and pure Ar gas to evaluate the effect of atmospheric chemistry. Phosphide corrosion in deionized water results in a metastable mixture of mixed-valence, P-bearing ions including pyrophosphate and triphosphate, key components for metabolism in modern life. In a pH-buffered solution of NaHCO(3), the condensed and reduced species diphosphonate is an abundant corrosion product. Corrosion in ethanol- and acetic acid-containing solutions yields additional P-bearing organic molecules, including acetyl phosphonate and a cyclic triphosphorus molecule. Phosphonate is a major corrosion product of all experiments and is the only P-bearing molecule that persists in solutions with high concentrations of magnesium and calcium chlorides, which suggests that phosphonate may have been a primitive oceanic source of P. The stability and reactivity of phosphonate and hypophosphite in solution were investigated to elucidate reaction mechanisms and the role of mineral catalysts on P-solution chemistry. Phosphonate oxidation is rapid in the presence of Fe metal but negligible in the presence of magnetite and in the control sample. The rate of hypophosphite oxidation is independent of reaction substrate.     

Surface characteristics of spacecraft components affect the aggregation of microorganisms and may lead to different survival rates of bacteria on Mars landers

Layers of dormant endospores of Bacillus subtilis HA101 were applied to eight different spacecraft materials and exposed to martian conditions of low pressure (8.5 mbar), low temperature (-10 degrees C), and high CO(2) gas composition and irradiated with a Mars-normal ultraviolet (UV-visible- near-infrared spectrum. Bacterial layers were exposed to either 1 min or 1 h of Mars-normal UV irradiation, which simulated clear-sky conditions on equatorial Mars (0.1 tau). When exposed to 1 min of Mars UV irradiation, the numbers of viable endospores of B. subtilis were reduced three to four orders of magnitude for two brands of aluminum (Al), stainless steel, chemfilm-treated Al, clear-anodized Al, and black-anodized Al coupons. In contrast, bacterial survival was reduced only one to two orders of magnitude for endospores on the non-metal materials astroquartz and graphite composite when bacterial endospores were exposed to 1 min of Mars UV irradiation. When bacterial monolayers were exposed to 1 h of Mars UV irradiation, no viable bacteria were recovered from the six metal coupons listed above. In contrast, bacterial survival was reduced only two to three orders of magnitude for spore layers on astroquartz and graphite composite exposed to 1 h of Mars UV irradiation. Scanning electron microscopy images of the bacterial monolayers on all eight spacecraft materials revealed that endospores of B. subtilis formed large aggregates of multilayered spores on astroquartz and graphite composite, but not on the other six spacecraft materials. It is likely that the formation of multilayered aggregates of endospores on astroquartz and graphite composite is responsible for the enhanced survival of bacterial cells on these materials.
