具有吸附性的平板型轨道分子屏离轴区域真空特性的研究

轨道分子屏真空系统,是利用分子屏轨道飞行速度远大于轨道环境大气的平均热运动速度,使空间环境对分子屏产生理想的抽速,在尾部形成气体分子的稀化区,达到极高真空.对平板型轨道分子屏,现有的文献中,仅仅计算了沿对称轴线的压力分布,然而,由于实际的分子屏试验,试件是具有一定尺寸的三维物体。仅仅获得对称轴线上的真空信息是不够的,需要对偏离对称轴线的空间点,进行分析计算.文章针对具有吸附性的平板型轨道分子屏,对偏离对称轴线的压力分布计算,提出了一套计算方法,对500km 的轨道高度,计算结果表明:当考察点与分子屏表面的距离(=|Z0|)小于1.0m,偏离对称轴线的距离小于1.6m 时,真空度维持在优于10~(-10)Pa 的数量级。建议在这一尺度范围进行材料试验。

空间原子氧对低地球轨道航天器用粘结剂的腐蚀效应影响

原子氧是低地球轨道(leo)-种重要的空间环境因素,地面模拟试验是用于开展leo航天器备选材料原子氧环境评价的主要手段.利用北京卫星环境研究所的原子氧设备,对牌号为e-32的环氧树脂和牌号为gs414的硅橡胶两种粘结剂进行了评价试验.依据轨道参数与航天器两年的设计寿命,选定试验中原子氧的等效积分通量为1.4×1021atom/cm2.试验结果表明,环氧树脂样品出现了较大的质量损失,而硅橡胶样品的质量损失则相对较小.根据质量损失计算环氧树脂样品的原子氧反应率处于3.2×10-24～3.8×10-24cm3/atom之间.试验后的环氧树脂样品表面颜色变浅,硅橡胶样品的表面则呈现了玻璃化.对两种材料都进行了表面形貌分析,试验前后测试结果的对比分析表明原子氧的氧化作用使材料表面发生了较大的变化. abstract： atomic oxygen (ao) is prevalent in low earth orbit (leo). ground-based testing on ao exposure was performed to investigate the effects of atomic oxygen on materials to be used in leo spacecraft. two types of adhesive materials, e-32 epoxy and gs414 silicone, were tested in the atomic oxygen testing facility at beijing institute of spacecraft environment engineering (bisee). the equivalent atomic oxygen fluence in test was approximately 1.4×1021 atom/cm2 as determined based on two years' exposure on leo. significant mass losses of the epoxy adhesive samples were observed after the exposure to atomic oxygen, but relatively small mass changes were found in the silicone samples. the erosion yields of epoxy samples range from 3.2×10-24 cm3/atom to 3.8×10-24 cm3/atom. bleaching by atomic oxygen was found in the epoxy samples. the surface on the silicone sample was glossed after ao exposure. the external appearance of both kinds of materials was analyzed using scanning electron microscope (sem) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps). a comparison between unexposed and exposed samples shows noticeable changes on the s     

Survival of spores of the UV-resistant Bacillus subtilis strain MW01 after exposure to low-earth orbit and simulated martian conditions: data from the space experiment ADAPT on EXPOSE-E

In the space experiment "Molecular adaptation strategies of microorganisms to different space and planetary UV climate conditions" (ADAPT), bacterial endospores of the highly UV-resistant Bacillus subtilis strain MW01 were exposed to low-Earth orbit (LEO) and simulated martian surface conditions for 559 days on board the European Space Agency's exposure facility EXPOSE-E, mounted outside the International Space Station. The survival of B. subtilis MW01 spores from both assays (LEO and simulated martian conditions) was determined by a colony-formation assay after retrieval. It was clearly shown that solar extraterrestrial UV radiation (λ≥110?nm) as well as the martian UV spectrum (λ≥200?nm) was the most deleterious factor applied; in some samples only a few spore survivors were recovered from B. subtilis MW01 spores exposed in monolayers. However, if shielded from solar irradiation, about 8% of MW01 spores survived in LEO conditions, and 100% survived in simulated martian conditions, compared to the laboratory controls. The results demonstrate the effect of shielding against the high inactivation potential of extraterrestrial solar UV radiation, which limits the chances of survival of even the highly UV-resistant strain of B. subtilis MW01 in the harsh environments of outer space and the martian surface.     

Biobjective planning of an active debris removal mission

The growth of the orbital debris population has been a concern to the international space community for several years. Recent studies have shown that the debris environment in Low Earth Orbit (LEO, defined as the region up to 2000 km altitude) has reached a point where the debris population will continue to increase even if all future launches are suspended. As the orbits of these objects often overlap the trajectories of satellites, debris create a potential collision risk. However, several studies show that about 5 objects per year should be removed in order to keep the future LEO environment stable. In this article, we propose a biobjective time dependent traveling salesman problem (BiTDTSP) model for the problem of optimally removing debris and use a branch and bound approach to deal with it.

The LEO Archipelago: A system of earth-rings for communications,mass-transport to space,solar power,and control of global warming

Man's quest to get into space is hindered by major problems (e.g., system-development and capital costs, expense of putting mass into orbit, trapped-radiation belts, and environmental impact of a large increase in rocket launches). A multi-purpose low-earth-orbit system of rings circling the earth – the “LEO ARCHIPELAGO^TM” – is proposed as a means of solving or bypassing many of them. A fiber-optic ring about the earth would be an initial testing and developmental stage for the Ring Systems, while providing cash-flow through a LEO-based, high-band-width, world-wide communication system. A low-earth-orbit-based space-elevator system, “Sling-on-a-Ring^TM”, is proposed as the crucial developmental stage of the LEO Archipelago. Being a LEO-based heavy-mass lifter, rather than earth- or GEO-based, it is much less massive and therefore less costly than other proposed space-elevators. With the advent of lower-cost, higher-mass transport to orbit, the options for further space development (e.g., space solar power, radiation, and space-debris dampers, sun shades, and permanent LEO habitation) are greatly expanded.This paper provides an update of the Sling-on-a-Ring concept in terms of new materials, potential applications, and trade-offs associated with an earlier model. The impact of Colossal Carbon Tubes, CCT, a new material with high tensile strength, extremely-low density, and other favorable properties, and other new technologies (e.g., solar-powered lasers, power beaming to near-space and earth, and thermal-control systems) on the development of associated LEO-Ring systems is also explored. The material's effect on the timeline for the system development indicates the feasibility of near-term implementation of the system (possibly within the decade). The Sling-on-a-Ring can provide a less-expensive, environment-friendly mode of access to space. This would pave the way (via eventual operation at >1000 t per day by 2050) for large scale development of space-based technologies.

Production possibility frontiers for a cis-lunar transportation system

A cis-lunar transportation system (CLTS) can be designed to provide combinations of two services: lunar export and lunar import. The set of all such combinations is called the production possibility frontier (PPF), which in turn is a familiar concept from micro-economics. The CLTS envisioned operates flights between space stations in low Earth orbit (LEO) and low lunar orbit (LLO), and flights between LLO and lunar base (LB). A system of 28 equations is presented which models the interactions between structure, payload and propellants in the CLTS. The traffic ratio of LB-LLO-LB flights to LEO-LLO-LEO flights is determined to be a key parameter for achieving high lunar export/import ratios. It is also shown that the CLTS can achieve a significant net mass gain in LEO, thus creating the possibility of lunar exports generating revenues for the colony by competing on price in LEO with terrestrial exports.     

Satellite end of life constraints: Technical and organisational solutions

Since 1974 with the radiocommunication satellite Symphony1, CNES launched and operated 11 GEO and 20 LEO satellites. During those 36 years, both flight segment and ground segment dramatically evolved and operational organisations and techniques equally improved. At the present time, CNES operates 1 GEO satellite and 17 LEO satellites with not much more people and costs than in 1986 when its first Satellite Operation Direction in Toulouse was only in charge of Telecom1A, Telecom1B and Spot1. This fantastic technical evolution combined with the huge increase of services to citizens and governments given by Space systems was unfortunately also associated with an enormous growth of space pollution by debris of all sizes. From the beginning, CNES was a major actor of the international effort to promote regulations in order to try to reduce or at least control this problematic situation. Internally, CNES, not only set up an operational on-call service to deal with collision risks, but decided to do its best to apply the new guidelines to the end of life of satellites under its responsibility even for those developed and launched a very long time ago. For instance, that was the case in 2009 for the reorbitation of the GEO satellite Telecom 2C (launched in 1995) and for the deorbitation of the LEO satellite Spot2 (launched in 1990). In addition, CNES prepares procedures to be able to be as exemplary as possible for its other spacecrafts whose end of life approaches. The constraints and challenges to face in order to cope with these new requirements are multiple: choice of final orbit, realistic calculation of re-entry duration, estimation of residual propellant, electric passivation, management of explosion risks… All these studies and operational experience gained will be helpful for the new role of CNES, which recently became in charge of controlling space operators in the frame of the new French space law on space operations.
