Searching for Signs of Life in the Reflected Light from Exoplanets: A Catalog of Nearby Target Stars

Which stars are the best stars to search for habitable planets and signs of life? This is a trick question, because it depends not only on the kind of circumstellar environment we think is likely to be supportive to life as we know it, but it depends also on the technique being used to do the search. For example, the Catalog of Nearby Habitable Stellar Systems was designed for SETI, a search for technological signals. Because this search strategy relies on life forms out-shining their star (at least at certain frequencies), target selection is not complicated by the need to spatially resolve the habitable planets on which these life forms presumably live. On the other hand, because the life forms being sought are technologically advanced, it seems reasonable to assume that their planet had to be continuously habitable for long enough to evolve such biological complexity. Thus the deciding factor for SETI is that of long term habitability. Meanwhile, other missions to directly detect habitable planets (e.g., NASA’s TPF and ESA’s Darwin) are less worried about long term habitability but must struggle with the competing factors of planet separation from the star and planet brightness relative to the star. This paper outlines a variety of challenges in the search for simple and complex life in the Solar Neighborhood.

Geology of the Icy Satellites

In the last 25 years, the explorations of the Voyager and Galileo missions have resulted in an entirely new view of the icy worlds orbiting the giant outer planets. These objects show a huge diversity in their characteristics, resulting from their formation histories, internal processes and interactions with their space environments. This paper will review the current state of knowledge about the icy satellites and discuss the exciting prospects for the upcoming Cassini/Huygens mission as it begins a new era of exploration of the Saturn satellite system.     

现代战斗机出厂费用预估模型

Burns模型被广泛用于三代战斗机出厂费用的估算,但由于未考虑三代以后的现代战斗机在研制过程中存在的改进改型、研制周期变长和航电设备技术升级等因素,使Burns模型在计算现代战斗机的出厂费用时会出现明显的误差。根据现代战斗机的技术特征,通过分析其研发采购费用的统计数据和研制过程,将改进改型、研制周期和航电设备技术水平等影响因素考虑入内,建立了一种新的出厂费用计算模型。通过以国外有代表性的现代战斗机为算例进行了验证,结果表明新模型的计算精度有了明显改善,具有一定的有效性和实用性。

Computational study of wing deformation and sting interference effects with the CAE-AVM test case

A modern transonic computational fluid dynamics test case is described in this paper, which is the Aerodynamic Validation Model (AVM) from the Chinese Aeronautical Establishment (CAE). The CAE-AVM is a representation of a modern transonic business jet aircraft with a design Mach number of 0.85. Numerical simulations for the AVM are conducted for two geometries: one baseline geometry, and one geometry that includes the applied model support system of the wind tunnel as well as the deformed wing shape that occurred during wind tunnel testing. The combined influence of wing deformation and model support interference on local and integral aerodynamic features is presented. Comparisons between CFD and experimental results are made; reasons of discrepancy between results from considered cases are analyzed.

Physical properties of the natural satellites

This paper reviews the physical nature of the satellites of the planets, excluding the Moon but including the rings of Saturn. Emphasis is placed on the best studied objects: Titan, Phobos and Deimos, the four Galilean satellites (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), and the rings of Saturn.The authors dedicate this paper to the memory of Gerard P. Kuiper, who died on 24 December 1973. It was his pioneering research begun in the early 1940's that opened the era of physical studies of the satellites. That work, together with his lifelong study of the origin of the system of planets and satellites, provided the foundation upon which much of the work reviewed in this paper is based.     

A brief review of alternative propellants and requirements for pulsed plasma thrusters in micropropulsion applications

Technological miniaturization has enabled the development of small satellites weighing as little as 1 kg. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of suitable efficient micropropulsion systems at these scales. The pulsed plasma thruster is a structurally simple form of electric propulsion. This simplicity also makes it ideally suited for miniaturization. Its history can be traced back to applications in satellites that are much larger than micro/nano-satellites. The vast majority of modern pulsed plasma thrusters use solid polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as a propellant. Unfortunately, at lower discharge energy levels such as those necessitated by the power limitations of micro/nano-satellites, PTFE has a tendency to exhibit carbon deposition, which can ultimately lead to thruster failure. In this new era of small satellites, it is important to consider alternative propellants in the miniaturization of pulsed plasma thrusters. This brief review discusses the needs and limitations of small satellites and alternative propellants that may be able to meet these needs. Such propellants may be able to offer advantages such as a longer thruster lifetime, a higher specific impulse, or a higher thrust-to-power ratio. This would enable the development of different types of pulsed plasma thrusters that can be tailored towards specific mission requirements.
