A composite focal plane assembly for the GERB instrument

In this paper, we present the design and construction of a composite focal plane assembly (FPA) for the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) Earth observing, visible–infrared imaging radiometer. The FPA is a complex structure that incorporates a number of features aimed at reducing mass, power and volume. These include the use of silicon and ceramic substrates for high density tracking and temperature stabilisation, removable test structures for component verification prior to final assembly and high levels of integration.

Geometric problem solving with strings and pins

Humans solve spatial and abstract problems more easily if these can be visualized and/or physically manipulated. We analyze the domain of geometric problem solving from a cognitive perspective and identify several levels of domain abstraction that interact in the problem solving process. We discuss the roles of physical manifestations of spatial configurations, their manipulation, and their perception for understanding problem solving processes. We propose an extension of the classical problem solving repertoire of constructive geometry to approach certain problems more directly than under the compass-and-straightedge paradigm. Specifically, we introduce strings and pins as helpful metaphors for a generalization of the constructive geometry approach. We present classical problems from spatial problem solving to illustrate the ‘strings and pins’ paradigm. Three case studies are discussed: strings-and-pins solutions to (i) the ellipse construction problem; (ii) the shortest path problem; and (iii) the angle trisection problem. Comparisons to formal solutions are drawn. Differences and similarities between the compass-and-straightedge paradigm and the strings-and-pins paradigm are analyzed. Features and limitations of constructive and depictive geometry as well as implications for computational approaches are discussed. The strings-and-pins domain is shown to be more general and less restrictive than the compass-and-straightedge domain.

从航天器产品空间可靠性要求的角度出发,提出了低温共烧陶瓷（LTCC）材料在模拟空间服役环境下材料特性评价的方法,主要包括大温域、温度循环、辐照等试验的条件及试验后力/热性能及电性能评价方法,采用该方法对某国产LTCC材料进行了评价。结果表明,在大温域试验条件下,热导率从-65 ℃时的4.77 W/（m·K）下降到了175 ℃时的2.89 W/（m·K）,弯曲强度从-65 ℃时的445 MPa下降到了0 ℃时的310 MPa并稳定在了310 MPa左右,热膨胀系数虽随温度的升高而增大,但随温度的变化趋势与同类进口材料基本一致,而在温度循环及模拟空间环境辐照试验条件下,各考核项目均变化不大,表明其性能基本可以满足宇航应用的可靠性要求,该研究成果可为LTCC材料的宇航应用提供技术指导。     

衬底温度对共溅射法制备的Cu2ZnSnS4薄膜晶粒生长的影响

研究了衬底温度对采用Cu2ZnSnS4靶和Cu靶共溅射制备的Cu2ZnSnS4薄膜晶粒生长的影响。采用拉曼光谱、X射线能量色散谱仪、扫描电子显微镜和紫外 可见 近红外分光光度计对在不同衬底温度条件下制备的Cu2ZnSnS4薄膜 的元素比例、形貌以及光学带隙进行了表征与分析。结果表明制备的Cu2ZnSnS4薄膜晶粒生长遵循不同规律。室温衬底条件下制备的Cu2ZnSnS4薄膜晶粒生长遵循两步法,导致颗粒尺寸和元素分布不均;而在120~200 ℃衬底温度条件下制备的Cu-Zn-Sn-S预置层在溅射过程中已有Cu2ZnSnS4晶粒形成,这些晶粒在后续硫化生长过程中起到形核点的作用, 促进了Cu2ZnSnS4晶粒的长大与元素的均匀分布。随着衬底温度的升高,Cu-Zn-Sn-S预置层及由此制备出的Cu2ZnSnS4薄膜的结晶性变好,Cu2ZnSnS4薄膜的带隙先升高后减小至1.55 eV。     

Characteristics of the soil-like substrates produced with a novel technique combining aerobic fermentation and earthworm treatment

The soil-like substrate (SLS) technique is key for improving the closure of bioregenerative life support system (BLSS) by recycling the inedible biomass of higher plants. In this study, a novel SLS technique (NSLST) was proposed: aerobic fermentations at 35 °C for 1 day, then 60 °C for 6 days, finally 30 °C for 3 days, followed by earthworm treatment for 70 days. Comparing with the original SLS technique (OSLST), its process cycle was 13 days shorter, and the dry weight loss rate (81.1%) was improved by 24.77%. The cellulose and lignin degradation rates were 96.6% and 94.6%. The concentrations of available N, P and K in mature SLS were respectively 776.1 mg/L, 348.0 mg/L and 7943.0 mg/L. Low CH₄ and NH₃ production was observed, but no accumulation. According to the seed germination test, the SLSs were feasible for plant growth. This investigation will provide a preliminary foundation for BLSS design.

Comparison of three soil-like substrate production techniques for a bioregenerative life support system

It is very important to recycle the inedible biomass of higher plants to improve the closure of bioregenerative life support system (BLSS). Processing candidate higher plant residues into the soil-like substrate (SLS) as the plant growth medium is a promising way to achieve. In this study, three different processing techniques of SLSs, using residues of wheat and rice as feedstock, were compared. As for the first traditional technique, SLS1 was obtained by successive conversion of wheat straw by oyster mushrooms and worms. In the other two methods, SLSs were produced with aerobic fermentation (SLS2) or anaerobic fermentation (SLS3) followed by worm conversion. The changes in SLS cellulose, lignin, available elements and pH were measured during the production processes. The maturity was evaluated by the value of C/N. The fertilities were compared in terms of available elements contents and lettuce productivities. The results indicated that the second technique was optimal, whose process cycle was 30 days less than that of SLS1. The total cellulose and lignin degradation of SLS2, achieved 98.6% and 93.1% during the 93-days-processing, and the lettuce productivity reached 12.0 g m⁻² day⁻¹.
