Crew autonomy for deep space exploration: Lessons from the Antarctic Search for Meteorites

Future piloted missions to explore asteroids, Mars, and other targets beyond the Moon will experience strict limitations on communication between vehicles in space and control centers on Earth. These limitations will require crews to operate with greater autonomy than any past space mission has demonstrated. The Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) project, which regularly sends small teams of researchers to remote parts of the southern continent, resembles a space mission in many ways but does not rely upon a control center. It provides a useful crew autonomy model for planners of future deep space exploration missions. In contrast to current space missions, ANSMET gives the crew the authority to adjust competing work priorities, task assignments, and daily schedules; allows the crew to be the primary monitor of mission progress; demands greater crew accountability for operational errors; requires the crew to make the most of limited communication bandwidth; adopts systems designed for simple operation and failure recovery; and grants the crew a leading role in the selection and stowage of their equipment.

超燃冲压发动机燃烧室主动冷却模型制造和热考核试验的费用高昂、周期长,为了降低试验风险,采用三维计算和经济的验证试验相结合的方法开展了超燃冲压发动机燃烧室主动冷却设计。冷却结构基本参数设计和侧壁冷却流动设计是确定设计方案的两大基础,前者采用三维传热计算结合冷却面板传热验证试验完成,后者采用超临界燃料流动三维并行计算结合水流动验证试验完成。在此基础上,经过多轮的结构设计与三维传热及强度计算评估迭代,确定了最终的燃烧室主动冷却结构。设计的主动冷却燃烧室在来流马赫数2.5,总温1700K条件下成功通过200s热考核试验,表明所采用的设计方法、验证试验和计算工具是有效和可信的。

运输类飞机结构设计安全系数的探讨

中国民用航空规章运输类飞机适航标准25.303要求采用1.5的安全系数,该要求同其他相关适航条款,例如25.307"结构符合性的证明"、25.603"材料"、25.605"制造方法"、25.613"材料的强度性能和材料的设计值"等,共同保证了飞机结构的高可靠性。理论上,当材料、载荷、分析等方面的不确定性降低,采用低于1.5的安全系数可以保证结构具有同等的高可靠性;另一方面,当材料、载荷、分析等方面的不确定性大于目前适航规章所允许的水平,通过采用大于1.5的安全系数也可以保证结构具有等同的高可靠性。为了在民用运输类飞机的适航取证/审定过程中,在保证结构可靠性的前提下,能够根据具体情况适当调整结构安全系数,在综合研究中国民用航空规章第25部《运输类飞机适航标准》相关条款内在联系的基础上,探讨了载荷、材料性能、分析方法等不确定性对飞机结构安全系数的贡献。研究结果表明,目前1.5的飞机结构安全系数,用于考虑载荷、材料性能、分析方法等不确定性的系数分量分别为1.2、1.12、1.116.

Conceptual design of a bioregenerative life support system containing crops and silkworms

This article summarizes a conceptual design of a bioregenerative life support system for permanent lunar base or planetary exploration. The system consists of seven compartments – higher plants cultivation, animal rearing, human habitation, water recovery, waste treatment, atmosphere management, and storages. Fifteen kinds of crops, such as wheat, rice, soybean, lettuce, and mulberry, were selected as main life support contributors to provide the crew with air, water, and vegetable food. Silkworms fed by crop leaves were designated to produce partial animal nutrition for the crew. Various physical-chemical and biological methods were combined to reclaim wastewater and solid waste. Condensate collected from atmosphere was recycled into potable water through granular activated carbon adsorption, iodine sterilization, and trace element supplementation. All grey water was also purified though multifiltration and ultraviolet sterilization. Plant residue, human excrement, silkworm feces, etc. were decomposed into inorganic substances which were finally absorbed by higher plants. Some meat, ingredients, as well as nitrogen fertilizer were prestored and resupplied periodically. Meanwhile, the same amount and chemical composition of organic waste was dumped to maintain the steady state of the system. A nutritional balanced diet was developed by means of the linear programming method. It could provide 2721 kcal of energy, 375.5 g of carbohydrate, 99.47 g of protein, and 91.19 g of fat per capita per day. Silkworm powder covered 12.54% of total animal protein intakes. The balance of material flows between compartments was described by the system of stoichiometric equations. Basic life support requirements for crews including oxygen, food, potable and hygiene water summed up to 29.68 kg per capita per day. The coefficient of system material closure reached 99.40%.
