现代谱分析技术综述

本文综述了最近20年推出的有关离散时序谱分析的新方法。对每个方法所假设的基本时序模型作的分析,构成本文了解各种谱分析方法之间差别的共同基础。所讨论的方法包括经典的周期图法、经典的 Blackman-Tukey 法、自回归(最大熵)法、滑动平均法、自回归滑动平均法、最大似然法、Prony 法和 Pisarenko 法。正文中的一览表对所有方法作了简要的评述,包括基本的参考文献和计算每一谱估计的相应公式     

使用信息矩阵滤波的跟踪融合的性能评估

在多传感器环境下，每个传感器探测多个目标，接着产生相应的跟踪。这些跟踪可能互不相同，经过融合后，传感器生成有关目标的更精确的运动信息和属性信息。目前已有两种方法可以达到上述目的，一种是测量值融合法，一种是状态矢量融合法。众所周知，测量值融合计算法通常最优，但计算费时，而状态矢量融合算法计算省力却是次优。之所以如此，是因为从两个传感器中获得的待融合状态级估值，由于通常存在被跟踪目标的过程噪声，通常并非条件独立。值得注意的是，状态矢量融合已有三种计算法：加权协方差法、信息矩阵法和伪测量法。本文仅限于讨论状态矢量融合中信息矩阵形式的性能评估。利用信息矩阵计算法已经推导出稳态融合协方差的闭式分析解并作为一种性能的度量方法。注意，推导出的结果基于两个传感器同步工作且没有误关联的假设，或是在研究时考虑了融合测量值。并且我们将推导出的结果用蒙特卡罗仿真进行了比较，过去曾有许多作者利用蒙特卡罗仿真来预测融合系统的性能。这些结果有助于更加深入地了解跟踪融合的作用原理，并大大简化了对融合性能的评估。此外，有了这样的解，简化了对各种不同工作条件下设计融合系统的折衷研究。     

The Interplanetary Internet: a communications infrastructure for Mars exploration

A strategy is being developed whereby the current set of internationally standardized space data communications protocols can be incrementally evolved so that a first version of an operational "Interplanetary Internet" is feasible by the end of the decade. This paper describes its architectural concepts, discusses the current set of standard space data communications capabilities that exist to support Mars exploration and reviews proposed new developments. We also speculate that these current capabilities can grow to support future scenarios where human intelligence is widely distributed across the Solar System and day-to-day communications dialog between planets is routine.     

Research priorities and plans for the International Space Station-results of the 'REMAP' Task Force

Recent events in the International Space Station (ISS) Program have resulted in the necessity to re-examine the research priorities and research plans for future years. Due to both technical and fiscal resource constraints expected on the International Space Station, it is imperative that research priorities be carefully reviewed and clearly articulated. In consultation with OSTP and the Office of Management and budget (OMB), NASA's Office of Biological and Physical Research (OBPR) assembled an ad-hoc external advisory committee, the Biological and Physical Research Maximization and Prioritization (REMAP) Task Force. This paper describes the outcome of the Task Force and how it is being used to define a roadmap for near and long-term Biological and Physical Research objectives that supports NASA's Vision and Mission. Additionally, the paper discusses further prioritizations that were necessitated by budget and ISS resource constraints in order to maximize utilization of the International Space Station. Finally, a process has been developed to integrate the requirements for this prioritized research with other agency requirements to develop an integrated ISS assembly and utilization plan that maximizes scientific output.     

Climate model studies of synchronously rotating planets

M stars constitute 75% of main sequence stars though, until recently, their star systems have not been considered suitable places for habitable planets to exist. In this study the climate of a synchronously rotating planet around an M dwarf star is evaluated using a three-dimensional global atmospheric circulation model. The presence of clouds and evaporative cooling at the surface of the planet result in a cooler surface temperature at the subsolar point. Water ice forms at the polar regions and on the dark side, where the minimum temperature lies between -30 degrees C and 0 degrees C. As expected, rainfall is extremely high on the starlit side and extremely low on the dark side. The presence of a dry continent causes higher temperatures on the dayside, and allows accumulation of snow on the nightside. The absence of any oceans leads to higher day-night temperature differences, consistent with previous work. The present study reinforces recent conclusions that synchronously rotating planets within the circumstellar habitable zones of M dwarf stars should be habitable, and therefore M dwarf systems should not be excluded in future searches for exoplanets.     

地球观测系统时代之后的成像光谱技术

地球观测系统(EOS)时代将向地球系统科学遥感界提供有关大气、陆地表面和海洋间相互作用的大量新信息。由EOS-1平台上的高分辨率成像光谱仪(HIRIS)等仪器提供的高光谱和空间分辨率图像将成为EOS数据集的重要组成部分。可以预料,利用EOS可以进一步认识地球,但也要求未来的传感器比现有的这一代传感器具有更高的灵活性和测量能力。声光可调谐滤光器(AOTF′S)良好的光谱灵活性、偏振选择性及简单性预示着它在未来的成像光谱仪上的重要应用。AOTF′S是致密、紧固的固态晶体,它可对两种偏振态进行快速的(毫秒级)、电控的光谱调谐。本文将讨论基于AOTF的成像光谱仪的基本原理。     

末端为任意形状有限金属法兰盘的介质填充波导的辐射

本文介绍的是一种基于矩量法（MOM）技术的诊断和设计工具，用于分析介质填充并装有限尺寸和任意形状金属法兰盘的孔径的辐射，这种方法可以处理具有任意几何形状的的孔径问题，因而是一种非常有效的改进天线设计的工具，利用等效原理，推导了一个等效问题并且当设置适当的的边界条件时，可以利用波导上表面电流作为未知量获得一组积分方程式，通过MOM可以解这些积分方程式并获得表面电流，进而计算出辐射方向图，通过对天线性能的仿真和实例（方向图和驻波比（SWR）比较，证明了该软件的有效性。     

可延伸出口锥的研制与试验

1979年法国欧洲动力装置公司(SEP)开始研制可延伸出口锥(EEC)。共进行了六发点火试验,均取得成功。下一发点火试验计划在1987年6月进行,届时,将对四种不同方案进行评估,其中包括折叠花瓣式及套筒锥式两种方案。EEC是固体火箭发动机喷管的一个复杂部件。为了提高它的可靠性及降低研制成本,设计必须尽可能简单。碳/碳部件采用三向增强细编织结构,可以做到设计简单,适用于目前既复杂又能装配的结构。如花瓣式和套筒锥式就可以采用这种称为SEPCARB NOVOLTEX材料。     

HMX的燃烧模型与燃烧化学

本文根据Ben Reuven和Caveny的工作,给出了HMX的燃烧模型。提出了两种燃烧化学以供选择。为了求得凝聚相和复杂程度不等的三种气相模型收敛解,作了若干简化假设。根据本文的计算结果断定,HMX的燃烧过程是由气相分解反应控制的;单纯使用催化法,难于大幅度提高燃速。为了计算方便,可以在守恒方程中不计质量扩散,但除了个别场合,一般来说,能量扩散不能忽略。     

Using the PROGRESS transport spacecraft in structure of the International Space Station for realization of scientific experiments under microgravity conditions

The problem is considered of using the PROGRESS transport spacecraft, which will deliver the payload on the ISS, as a free flying platform for realization of space experiments. For maintenance of the ISS 5-6 PROGRESS flights per year are planned. Usually after delivery of the payload the PROGRESS undocks from the ISS and burns down in the Earth atmosphere. However, the operating conditions of its onboard systems allow to prolong operation and to make free flight near to the station and repeatedly to be docked to it. It is offered to use this possibility for performing experiments on Material Science.
