1978—1988年间磁扰的分析与日地耦合

用1978-1988年间行星际磁场(IMF)的B_z分量、极光区AL指数和赤道附近地磁台Z分量等资料探讨了日地耦合中的主要物理过程。B_z的11年变化大致与太阳活动程度相当,但AL和赤道附近ΔZ更多地受磁层和电离层内部过程所控制。分析中强调了对国际磁抗日按物理过程进行分类的必要性。      

Exploration life support technology challenges for the Crew Exploration Vehicle and future human missions

As NASA implements the U.S. Space Exploration Policy, life support systems must be provided for an expanding sequence of exploration missions. NASA has implemented effective life support for Apollo, the Space Shuttle, and the International Space Station (ISS) and continues to develop advanced systems. This paper provides an overview of life support requirements, previously implemented systems, and new technologies being developed by the Exploration Life Support Project for the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and Lunar Outpost and future Mars missions. The two contrasting practical approaches to providing space life support are (1) open loop direct supply of atmosphere, water, and food, and (2) physicochemical regeneration of air and water with direct supply of food. Open loop direct supply of air and water is cost effective for short missions, but recycling oxygen and water saves costly launch mass on longer missions. Because of the short CEV mission durations, the CEV life support system will be open loop as in Apollo and Space Shuttle. New life support technologies for CEV that address identified shortcomings of existing systems are discussed. Because both ISS and Lunar Outpost have a planned 10-year operational life, the Lunar Outpost life support system should be regenerative like that for ISS and it could utilize technologies similar to ISS. The Lunar Outpost life support system, however, should be extensively redesigned to reduce mass, power, and volume, to improve reliability and incorporate lessons learned, and to take advantage of technology advances over the last 20 years. The Lunar Outpost design could also take advantage of partial gravity and lunar resources.     

太阳能飞机能量平衡建模

能量平衡是太阳能飞机设计工作的核心和难点。基于太阳能飞机能量原理,结合太阳辐射模型和太阳能飞机典型飞行剖面开展太阳能飞机能量平衡建模研究。根据太阳能飞机起飞-爬升-巡航阶段和持续跨昼夜飞行阶段的飞行剖面和能量需求,分别建立了各阶段的能量平衡模型,给出了各时段的能量特性计算方法并对傍晚下滑阶段的多种飞行情况进行了分类讨论。最后以某太阳能飞机为例对本文所建立的起飞-爬升-巡航能量平衡模型和持续跨昼夜飞行能量平衡模型进行了验证。     

Latitudinal features of Total Electron Content over the African and European longitude sector following the St. Patrick’s day storm of 2015

GNSS TEC values have been obtained from 18 stations distributed from the magnetic equator to nearly 80°N magnetic dip in the African and west-European longitude sector corresponding to the March 17–18, 2015 geomagnetic storm. Significantly depleted ionosphere have been observed at stations north of 50°N geographic on March 18, 2015 following the above storm over a longitude swath 11.9°–21°E covering the Eastern Africa and Western European longitude sector. High ROTI values were noted on March 17^th at locations around 80°N magnetic dip. Two prominent peaks in PCN were noted around 09:00 UT and 14:00 UT on March 17, 2015 and around 15:00 UT on March 18, 2015. Daytime thermospheric (O/N₂) ratio was markedly less on March 18th at latitudes above 60°N geographic which is suggested to be the major driver behind depleted high latitude ionosphere during the recovery phase of the storm on March 18, 2015.     

基于Kriging模型的浮空器氦气昼夜温差最优化

分析浮空器氦气昼夜温差时通常将整个囊体蒙皮涂层设置为同一种材料,分析材料的吸收率与发射率对氦气昼夜温差的影响。为进一步减小氦气昼夜温差,提出了将囊体分为迎光面和背光面,迎光面采用吸收率低的材料,背光面采用发射率高的材料。建立了囊体热力学模型,采用Kriging模型对囊体不同部位的材料特性进行优化,其基本思想是将囊体划分为48个部分,采用拉丁超立方体方法进行抽样,进行热力学分析得到样本的响应,以此建立Kriging近似模型。经过该方法优化后发现,氦气的昼夜温差减小到28.6 K,比传统的分析减少7.7%。      

Sq（Y）的季节变化和场向电流

本文对中国东部地磁台站链地磁静日变化东向分量进行了分析,有结果表明,在冬、夏季清晨,南北半球之间存在着电离层发电机驱动的场向电流,其方向是从夏季半球到冬季半球;在黄昏,也可能存在方向相反的电流。
