This paper analyses potential future collaborative space exploration architectures in terms of 1) the technical capabilities of contributing partners; and 2) the constraints imposed by internal and international politics. We find that when international partners are considered endogenously, the argument for a “flexible path” approach is weakened substantially. This is because international contributions can make “Moon first” economically feasible; and characteristics of proposed “flexible path” approaches may preclude international involvement because of the disproportionate risk that those contributions inherently bear. This could have serious implications for future collaborations. We also note that while there are multiple feasible collaborative architectures, there is currently substantial overlap among the potential niche contributions identified by the international partners. 相似文献

Nearly three decades after the Mariner 10 spacecraft’s third and final targeted Mercury flyby, the 3 August 2004 launch of
the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) spacecraft began a new phase of exploration
of the closest planet to our Sun. In order to ensure that the spacecraft had sufficient time for pre-launch testing, the NASA
Discovery Program mission to orbit Mercury experienced launch delays that required utilization of the most complex of three
possible mission profiles in 2004. During the 7.6-year mission, the spacecraft’s trajectory will include six planetary flybys
(including three of Mercury between January 2008 and September 2009), dozens of trajectory-correction maneuvers (TCMs), and
a year in orbit around Mercury. Members of the mission design and navigation teams optimize the spacecraft’s trajectory, specify
TCM requirements, and predict and reconstruct the spacecraft’s orbit. These primary mission design and navigation responsibilities
are closely coordinated with spacecraft design limitations, operational constraints, availability of ground-based tracking
stations, and science objectives. A few days after the spacecraft enters Mercury orbit in mid-March 2011, the orbit will have
an 80° inclination relative to Mercury’s equator, a 200-km minimum altitude over 60°N latitude, and a 12-hour period. In order
to accommodate science goals that require long durations during Mercury orbit without trajectory adjustments, pairs of orbit-correction
maneuvers are scheduled every 88 days (once per Mercury year). 相似文献

High resolution airborne magnetic data acquired between 2005 and 2010 were used to determine depth to shallow and deep magnetic sources in some parts of Southeastern Nigeria. Various depth estimation methods such as standard Euler deconvolution (SED), source parameter imaging (SPI), spectral depth analysis (SDA) and two dimensional (2-D) forward modeling were applied. Results obtained from SED, SPI and models of profiles 1 and 2 indicate that the Abakaliki Anticlinorium (AA) and Ikom-Mamfe Rift (IMR) regions are dominated by short wavelength magnetic anomalies caused by extensive tectonic events. The SED map showed depth to shallow and deep magnetic sources ranging from ~ 16.6 to ~ 338.3 m and ~ 394.3 to ~ 5748.1 m respectively. Likewise, depth estimates from the SPI map varies from ~ 147.1 to ~ 554.2 m (shallow magnetic sources) and ~ 644.2 to ~ 6141.6 m (deep magnetic sources). The result obtained from SDA revealed depths to deep magnetic basement in the range of ~ 769 to ~ 6666 m with an average of ~ 3449 m. Also, it showed that depth to shallow magnetic sources vary between ~ 119 and ~ 434 m with mean of ~ 269 m. The 2-D forward modelling showed maximum depth values of ~ 4700, ~4600 and ~ 6500 m in the models of profiles 1, 2 and 3 within the Anambra Basin (AB), Afikpo Syncline (AS) and Calabar Flank (CF) respectively. Generally, from all the various methods applied the results indicate that AB, AS and CF are dominated by long wavelength anomalies. The 2-D models indicated that the basement framework is undulant. Also, depth estimates involving the various methods used in this study correlate strongly with each other in the AB, AS and CF geological regions. 相似文献

Effect of Processing and Composition on the Structure and Properties of P/M EP741NP Type Alloys 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A study was carried out on the effects of processing and composition on the structure and properties of P/M EP741NP type alloys. The objectives of this study were to understand the role of Hf in a P/M superalloy containing high niobium used in aircraft engines and to determine the effects of extrusion and forging the powders as contrasted to HIPing (hot isostatic pressing) only. Two alloys of the P/M EP741NP composition were atomized: one alloy contained 0.26%Hf and the other was Hf free. After the as-atomized powders from both alloys were characterized, the powders were extruded into billets, forged and heat treated. After each process, the microstructures were characterized by SEM and the phases were extracted and identified by X-ray diffraction. The presence of Hf in the residues was probed by EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy). The alloys were given the published Russian heat treatment as well as a more conventional heat treatment more typical of western powder alloys. Tensile, creep and stress rupture mechanical property tests were run. Results of the structural behavior of the alloys after each processing step will be presented and discussed. The role of the Hf on the mechanical proper- ties will be discussed. 相似文献

The Juno mission’s primary science objectives include the investigation of Jupiter interior structure via the determination of its gravitational field. Juno will provide more accurate determination of Jupiter’s gravity harmonics that will provide new constraints on interior structure models. Juno will also measure the gravitational response from tides raised on Jupiter by Galilean satellites. This is accomplished by utilizing Gravity Science instrumentation to support measurements of the Doppler shift of the Juno radio signal by NASA’s Deep Space Network at two radio frequencies. The Doppler data measure the changes in the spacecraft velocity in the direction to Earth caused by the Jupiter gravity field. Doppler measurements at X-band (\(\sim 8\) GHz) are supported by the spacecraft telecommunications subsystem for command and telemetry and are used for spacecraft navigation as well as Gravity Science. The spacecraft also includes a Ka-band (\(\sim 32\) GHz) translator and amplifier specifically for the Gravity Science investigation contributed by the Italian Space Agency. The use of two radio frequencies allows for improved accuracy by removal of noise due to charged particles along the radio signal path. 相似文献

The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) is an instrument on the payload of NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft (LRO) (Chin et al., in Space Sci. Rev. 129:391–419, 2007). The instrument is designed to measure the shape of the Moon by measuring precisely the range from the spacecraft to the lunar surface, and incorporating precision orbit determination of LRO, referencing surface ranges to the Moon’s center of mass. LOLA has 5 beams and operates at 28 Hz, with a nominal accuracy of 10 cm. Its primary objective is to produce a global geodetic grid for the Moon to which all other observations can be precisely referenced. 相似文献

The Lunar CRater Observations and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission impacted a spent Centaur rocket stage into a permanently shadowed region near the lunar south pole. The Sheperding Spacecraft (SSC) separated ~9 hours before impact and performed a small braking maneuver in order to observe the Centaur impact plume, looking for evidence of water and other volatiles, before impacting itself. This paper describes the registration of imagery of the LCROSS impact region from the mid- and near-infrared cameras onboard the SSC, as well as from the Goldstone radar. We compare the Centaur impact features, positively identified in the first two, and with a consistent feature in the third, which are interpreted as a 20 m diameter crater surrounded by a 160 m diameter ejecta region. The images are registered to Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter (LRO) topographical data which allows determination of the impact location. This location is compared with the impact location derived from ground-based tracking and propagation of the spacecraft’s trajectory and with locations derived from two hybrid imagery/trajectory methods. The four methods give a weighted average Centaur impact location of ?84.6796°, ?48.7093°, with a 1σ uncertainty of 115 m along latitude, and 44 m along longitude, just 146 m from the target impact site. Meanwhile, the trajectory-derived SSC impact location is ?84.719°, ?49.61°, with a 1σ uncertainty of 3 m along the Earth vector and 75 m orthogonal to that, 766 m from the target location and 2.803 km south-west of the Centaur impact. We also detail the Centaur impact angle and SSC instrument pointing errors. Six high-level LCROSS mission requirements are shown to be met by wide margins. We hope that these results facilitate further analyses of the LCROSS experiment data and follow-up observations of the impact region. 相似文献
