用于NASA局长期气球计划的低成本TDRSS通信设备

NASA研制的新TDRSS转发器和射频地面支持设备,使一系列低预算NASA计划可以利用TDRSS的通信业务。由于采用了当前先进技术,有些则是尖端技术,使这些新设备为用户提供了许多先进特性,而成本仍比以前任何一种设计方案低。这些新设备将于1992年12月首次用于飞越南极的长期科学气球计划。     

在高浓度气固双相流中测量粒子流的仪表

该文介绍的冲量仪特别适于在含有相当大的粒子(直径大于0.5mm)的固气双相流中测量粒子流的动量通量。仪表的核心是一个灵敏的压电传感器。但这种传感器不是像用于流化床中测量粒子流的加速度计型探头那样受到阻尼振荡。现在的冲量探头补充了光学枝术。习惯上,光学技术只限于在粒子尺寸小,平均粒子浓度低的场合中应用。文章介绍了仪表的设计、校准和初步的鉴定试验。并指出今后应研究的问题。

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.     

Remote sensing of planetary properties and biosignatures on extrasolar terrestrial planets

The major goals of NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) and the European Space Agency's Darwin missions are to detect terrestrial-sized extrasolar planets directly and to seek spectroscopic evidence of habitable conditions and life. Here we recommend wavelength ranges and spectral features for these missions. We assess known spectroscopic molecular band features of Earth, Venus, and Mars in the context of putative extrasolar analogs. The preferred wavelength ranges are 7-25 microns in the mid-IR and 0.5 to approximately 1.1 microns in the visible to near-IR. Detection of O2 or its photolytic product O3 merits highest priority. Liquid H2O is not a bioindicator, but it is considered essential to life. Substantial CO2 indicates an atmosphere and oxidation state typical of a terrestrial planet. Abundant CH4 might require a biological source, yet abundant CH4 also can arise from a crust and upper mantle more reduced than that of Earth. The range of characteristics of extrasolar rocky planets might far exceed that of the Solar System. Planetary size and mass are very important indicators of habitability and can be estimated in the mid-IR and potentially also in the visible to near-IR. Additional spectroscopic features merit study, for example, features created by other biosignature compounds in the atmosphere or on the surface and features due to Rayleigh scattering. In summary, we find that both the mid-IR and the visible to near-IR wavelength ranges offer valuable information regarding biosignatures and planetary properties; therefore both merit serious scientific consideration for TPF and Darwin.     

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。
