Lunar habitat concept employing the space shuttle external tank

The space shuttle external tank, which consists of a liquid oxygen tank, an intertank structure, and a liquid hydrogen tank, is an expendable structure used for approximately 8.5 min during each launch. A concept for outfitting the liquid oxygen tank-intertank unit for a 12-person lunar habitat is described. The concept utilizes existing structures and openings for both man and equipment access without compromising the structural integrity of the tank. Living quarters, instrumentation, environmental control and life support, thermal control, and propulsion systems are installed at Space Station Freedom. The unmanned habitat is then transported to low lunar orbit and autonomously soft landed on the lunar surface. Design studies indicate that this concept is feasible by the year 2000 with concurrent development of a space transfer vehicle and manned cargo lander for crew changeover and resupply.

Additional Measurements on Pit Shielding for Communications Satellite Earth Stations

This correspondence reports measurements taken in both the 4- and 6-GHz frequency bands of the protection afforded a pit-shielded Earth-station antenna. The measurement program described is an expansion of a previous one and was designed to determine the effects of artificial site shielding for a range of satellite locations rather than a single position.     

超临界层流翼型优化设计策略

针对超临界层流翼型设计问题,提出一种两轮优化策略。采用γ-Reθt转捩模型耦合剪切应力输运(SST)模式的湍流模型对翼型边界层转捩进行预测。翼型几何参数化建模采用形状分类函数转换(CST)方法,设计变量为描述翼型几何特征的参数。第1轮优化的目的是尽量提高层流区域的比例,气动分析模型为基于Kriging模型的代理模型,优化算法为遗传算法,通过优化获得满足约束要求的层流翼型。第2轮优化目的是对第1轮优化获得的翼型进行微调,进一步提高翼型的升阻比,气动分析直接采用CFD程序,优化算法采用基于梯度的优化算法。算例表明,应用本文提出的两轮优化策略,可将超临界翼型NASA SC(2)0412优化设计成超临界层流翼型,翼型的上下表面层流区比例分别达到了55.5%和47.0%,升阻比提高了38.1%。

应用数值计算的方法模拟了细长体截面绕流结构的演变过程.指出随着细长体背涡的发展,导致截面流场的拓扑结构发生变化,会出现一种临界流动状态.并用微分方程的定性理论分析了此时流场中出现的一种高阶奇点.这种高阶奇点的指数为-3/2,它是结构不稳定的,稍有扰动就会产生分叉,使流场的拓扑结构发生变化.得出了定常对称背涡流态下细长体的空间绕流结构图.

天宫一号频繁轨控条件下快速测定轨精度及策略分析

2016年,中国将要执行空间站与货运飞船的快速交会对接试验,该试验要求飞船起飞后6 h完成与空间站的交会对接。工程实践中需要对飞船进行多次远导控制,其间留给快速定轨的数据时长最少可能只有5 min,这对短弧定轨精度提出了较高要求。利用天宫一号在轨运行期间实测数据开展了快速测定轨试验,试验频繁轨控条件下5 min数据时长的快速测定轨精度。试验结果表明,不同条件下短弧定轨精度差异较大,这为快速交会对接试验带来了较大风险。为了提高短弧定轨精度,制定了利用轨控前后数据联合解算轨控从而增加定轨数据弧段的方法提高短弧定轨精度的定轨策略。分析结果表明,该定轨策略有效提高了短弧定轨精度,可满足快速交会对接试验轨道维持控制要求。

Regolith X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) Aboard the OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission

The Regolith X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) is the student collaboration experiment proposed and built by an MIT-Harvard team, launched aboard NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission. REXIS complements the scientific investigations of other OSIRIS-REx instruments by determining the relative abundances of key elements present on the asteroid’s surface by measuring the X-ray fluorescence spectrum (stimulated by the natural solar X-ray flux) over the range of energies 0.5 to 7 keV. REXIS consists of two components: a main imaging spectrometer with a coded aperture mask and a separate solar X-ray monitor to account for the Sun’s variability. In addition to element abundance ratios (relative to Si) pinpointing the asteroid’s most likely meteorite association, REXIS also maps elemental abundance variability across the asteroid’s surface using the asteroid’s rotation as well as the spacecraft’s orbital motion. Image reconstruction at the highest resolution is facilitated by the coded aperture mask. Through this operation, REXIS will be the first application of X-ray coded aperture imaging to planetary surface mapping, making this student-built instrument a pathfinder toward future planetary exploration. To date, 60 students at the undergraduate and graduate levels have been involved with the REXIS project, with the hands-on experience translating to a dozen Master’s and Ph.D. theses and other student publications.
