Political developments in the USSR have opened new possibilities for cooperation with the USA in areas of common interest. One of the greatest areas of such common interest is the exploration and utilization of space. This article highlights the most significant benefits that could be derived from US-Soviet cooperation in space, lists some of the most promising opportunities for further cooperation and discusses in detail the main obstacles to the exploitation of these opportunities. It concludes with recommendations addressed to the US government and space industry and to their counterparts in the USSR. 相似文献

Using the example of the USA, this article examines the economics of foreign participation in applied R&D space projects, with an emphasis on those with the goal of commercializing technology. Following an overview of the arguments within applied high-tech research in general — fear of subsidizing other countries economies and jeopardizing national prestige; benefits from nationally unavailable skills, reducing government costs and increasing domestic incentives for innovation — the authors consider specific characteristics of markets for space technology in the light of these arguments. They conclude with a discussion of policy options, such as the use of licenses or levy of royalties, to preserve the virtues of foreign competition while addressing concerns about ‘underwriting’ foreign competitors. 相似文献

The basic physical processes that lead to the long-term modulation of cosmic rays by the solar wind have been known for many years. However our knowledge of the structure of the heliosphere, which determines which processes are most important for the modulation, and of the variation of this structure with time and solar activity level is still incomplete. Study of the modulation provides a tool for probing the scale and structure of the heliosphere. While the Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft are surveying the radial structure and extent of the heliosphere at modest heliographic latitudes, theUlysses mission is the first to undertake a nearly complete scan of the latitudinal structure of the modulated cosmic ray intensity in the inner heliosphere (R<5.4 AU).Ulysses will reach latitudes of 80°S in September 1994 and 80°N in July 1995 during the approach to minimum activity in the 11 year solar cycle. We present a first report of measurements extending to latitudes of 52°S, which show surprisingly little latitudinal effect in the modulated intensities and suggest that at this time modulation in the inner heliosphere may be much more spherically symmetric than had generally been believed based upon models and previous observations. 相似文献

Development of the low energy neutral atom (LENA) imager was originally motivated by a need to remotely sense plasma heating in the topside ionosphere, with the goal of greatly enhanced temporal resolution of an otherwise familiar phenomenon. During ground test and calibration, the LENA imager was found to respond to neutral atoms with energies well above its nominal energy range of 10–750 eV, up to at least 3–4 keV, owing to sputtering interactions with its conversion surface. On orbit, LENA has been found to respond to a ubiquitous neutral atom component of the solar wind, to the neutral atoms formed by magnetosheath interactions with the geocorona during periods of high solar wind pressure, and to the interstellar neutral atoms flowing through the heliosphere during the season of maximal relative wind velocity between spacecraft and interstellar medium. LENA imaging has thus emerged as a promising new tool for studying the interplanetary medium and its interaction with the magnetosphere, in addition to the ionospheric heating and outflow that result from this interaction. LENA emissions from the ionosphere consist of a fast component that can be observed at high altitudes, and slower components that evidently create a quasi-trapped extended superthermal exosphere. The more energetic emissions are responsive to solar wind energy inputs on time scales of a few minutes. 相似文献

We report the discovery that for latitudes above 40°S, the observed recurring modulation of cosmic rays and anomalous nuclei occurs without the detection byUlysses of the solar wind velocity and magnetic field recurring enhancements that have, heretofore at lower latitudes, defined corotating interaction regions—i.e., the mechanism producing the recurring intensity variations >40°S appears to be located beyond the radial range ofUlysses. 相似文献

The magnetic field strength of Mercury at the planet’s surface is approximately 1% that of Earth’s surface field. This comparatively low field strength presents a number of challenges, both theoretically to understand how it is generated and observationally to distinguish the internal field from that due to the solar wind interaction. Conversely, the small field also means that Mercury offers an important opportunity to advance our understanding both of planetary magnetic field generation and magnetosphere-solar wind interactions. The observations from the Mariner 10 magnetometer in 1974 and 1975, and the MESSENGER Magnetometer and plasma instruments during the probe’s first two flybys of Mercury on 14 January and 6 October 2008, provide the basis for our current knowledge of the internal field. The external field arising from the interaction of the magnetosphere with the solar wind is more prominent near Mercury than for any other magnetized planet in the Solar System, and particular attention is therefore paid to indications in the observations of deficiencies in our understanding of the external field. The second MESSENGER flyby occurred over the opposite hemisphere from the other flybys, and these newest data constrain the tilt of the planetary moment from the planet’s spin axis to be less than 5°. Considered as a dipole field, the moment is in the range 240 to 270 nT-R M 3 , where R M is Mercury’s radius. Multipole solutions for the planetary field yield a smaller dipole term, 180 to 220 nT-R M 3 , and higher-order terms that together yield an equatorial surface field from 250 to 290 nT. From the spatial distribution of the fit residuals, the equatorial data are seen to reflect a weaker northward field and a strongly radial field, neither of which can be explained by a centered-dipole matched to the field measured near the pole by Mariner 10. This disparity is a major factor controlling the higher-order terms in the multipole solutions. The residuals are not largest close to the planet, and when considered in magnetospheric coordinates the residuals indicate the presence of a cross-tail current extending to within 0.5R M altitude on the nightside. A near-tail current with a density of 0.1 μA/m2 could account for the low field intensities recorded near the equator. In addition, the MESSENGER flybys include the first plasma observations from Mercury and demonstrate that solar wind plasma is present at low altitudes, below 500 km. Although we can be confident in the dipole-only moment estimates, the data in hand remain subject to ambiguities for distinguishing internal from external contributions. The anticipated observations from orbit at Mercury, first from MESSENGER beginning in March 2011 and later from the dual-spacecraft BepiColombo mission, will be essential to elucidate the higher-order structure in the magnetic field of Mercury that will reveal the telltale signatures of the physics responsible for its generation. 相似文献

This report is a brief introduction to some of the vital contributions that the Advanced Composition Explorer Mission will
make towards our understanding of the origins of matter and acceleration of particles on a wide range of solar and astrophysical
scales. Examples of these contributions are drawn from two broad areas of the space sciences. They are: (1) Dynamical phenomena
at the Sun and in the inner heliosphere; and (2) The elemental and isotopic composition of matter in the solar wind, solar
accelerated ejecta, galactic cosmic radiation and the anomalous nuclear component in the heliosphere. Some current problems
with theories intended to account for these phenomena are discussed, including interpretations of the stable and radioactive
isotopes in the galactic cosmic rays.

The invention of the neutron monitor pile for the study of cosmic-ray intensity-time and energy changes began with the discovery
in 1948 that the nucleonic component cascade in the atmosphere had a huge geomagnetic latitude dependence. For example, between
0° and 60° this dependence was a ∼ 200–400% effect – depending on altitude – thus opening the opportunity to measure the intensity
changes in the arriving cosmic-ray nuclei down to ∼1–2 GeV nucl−1 for the first time. In these measurements the fast (high energy) neutron intensity was shown to be a surrogate for the nuclear
cascade intensity in the atmosphere.
The development of the neutron monitor in 1948–1951 and the first geomagnetic latitude network will be discussed. Among its
early applications were:
(1) to prove that there exists interplanetary solar modulation of galactic cosmic-rays (1952), and;
(2) to provide the evidence for a dynamical heliosphere (1956).
With the world-wide distribution of neutron monitor stations that are presently operating (∼ 50) many novel investigations
are still to be carried out, especially in collaborations with spacecraft experiments.
