VentureStar… reaping the benefits of the X-33 program

Major X-33 flight hardware has been delivered, and assembly of the vehicle is well underway in anticipation of its flight test program commencing in the summer of 1999. Attention has now turned to the operational VentureStar^TM, the first single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) reusable launch vehicle. Activities are grouped under two broad categories: (1) vehicle development and (2) market/business planning, each of which is discussed. The mission concept is presented for direct payload delivery to the International Space Station and to low Earth orbit, as well as payload delivery with an upper stage to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) and other high energy orbits. System requirements include flight segment and ground segment. Vehicle system sizing and design status is provided including the application of X-33 traceability and lessons learned. Technology applications to the VentureStar^TM are described including the structure, propellant tanks, thermal protection system, aerodynamics, subsystems, payload bay and propulsion. Developing a market driven low cost launch services system for the 21st Century requires traditional and non-traditional ways of being able to forecast the evolution of the potential market. The challenge is balancing both the technical and financial assumptions of the market. This involves the need to provide a capability to meet market segments that in some cases are very speculative, while at the same time providing the financial community with a credible revenue stream. Furthermore, the market derived requirements need to be assessed so as not to impose unnecessary requirements on the vehicle design that add unreasonable cost to the development of the system, yet provides the right capabilities for new markets that could be triggered by dramatically lower space transportation prices.     

应用联合变换相关器的成像制导系统

提出了一种光电混合的成像制导系统，它采用光学联合变换相关器作为其主要的图像识别单元，利用计算机对识别结果进行判决和显示，并发出跟踪信号给导引头，从而实现制导。联合变换相关器是对光学图像信号进行并行处理的器件，实时识别性能强，精度高。此成像制导系统克服了传统的红外制导系统易受外界因素影响，实时处理能力差，误判率较高的缺点，具有并行处理速度快、信息吞吐量大、体积小等优点，应用前景广阔。     

数值模拟高超音速化学非平衡流的隐式格式

针对高超音速化学非平衡流提出了两种隐式格式.一种是近似因子分解算法对角化形式在隐式TVD(全变差递减)格式上的推广,另一种可视为隐式TVD格式的LU分解形式.数值试验表明,本文给出的算法保持了TVD格式的高分辨率特性,同时计算量大大减少,是高超音速化学非平衡流数值模拟的有效方法.     

1989年3月大宇宙线暴事件的特征

本文分析了1989年3月一系列大耀斑等离子体抛射引起的宇宙线强度变化的特征.除对中子成分分析外,还对μ介子成分及其各向异性特征作了分析,讨论了宇宙线强度变化与太阳耀斑特性和地磁扰动之间的关系。分析发现,宇宙线的Forbush下降不仅与太阳耀斑的级别、持续时间,以及在日面上的位置有关,而且还与光学耀斑是否伴有强的X射线暴、是否有强的射电爆发,以及是否引起强的地磁暴紧密有关.各向异性分析表明,3月大事件的各向异性明显小于宁静时的各向异性,这可能是因为受到太阳活动强烈调制之后,宇宙线各向异性趋于减小的原因.     

2000年行星际南向磁场事件及相关CME的若干分析

根据WIND飞船的观测资料，讨论了2000年发生的南向磁场（BS）事件，分析了它们的源，发现12次事件中11次的源是日冕物质抛射（CME）。运用从地球向太阳时间倒推的方法和LASCO，EIT195A的观测资料，确定了这些CME。它们都是快速CME，伴有行星际激波，都具有晕状（Halo)形态，它们在日面上发生的位置是在一个不对称的区域内。还分析了5个强南向磁场（BS≥20nT)事件，发现它们的CME源，或者具有很高的能量，或者抛射方向正对地球，或者是具有叠加效应的CME系列，分析表明，在我们所讨论的太阳活动高年，大的行星际扰动和强地磁暴与高速流的联系并不密切。

76°/40°双三角翼前缘涡破裂及其控制实验研究

流动显示结果表明,喷流能有效地推迟双三角翼前缘涡的破裂,且随着攻角的增大,前缘涡破裂位置逐渐推后,喷流极大地改善了大攻角情况下前缘涡的非对称破裂特性,能有效地克服可能出现的机翼的"摇滚"现象.另外,后缘喷流可以减弱乃至消除前缘涡混掺现象的发生,进而有利于飞行器的操纵.     

KuaFu Mission

The KuaFu mission-Space Storms, Aurora and Space Weather Explorer-is an "L1+Polar" triple satellite project composed of three spacecraft: KuaFu-A will be located at L1 and have instruments to observe solar EUV and FUV emissions, and white-light Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), and to measure radio waves, the local plasma and magnetic field,and high-energy particles. KuaFuB1 and KuaFu- B2 will bein polar orbits chosen to facilitate continuous 24 hours a day observation of the north polar Aurora Oval. The KuaFu mission is designed to observe the complete chain of disturbances from the solar atmosphere to geospace, including solar flares, CMEs, interplanetary clouds, shock waves, and their geo-effects, such as magnetospheric sub-storms and magnetic storms, and auroral activities. The mission may start at the next solar maximum (launch in about 2012), and with an initial mission lifetime of two to three years. KuaFu data will be used for the scientific study of space weather phenomena, and will be used for space weather monitoring and forecast purposes. The overall mission design, instrument complement, and incorporation of recent technologies will target new fundamental science, advance our understanding of the physical processes underlying space weather, and raise the standard of end-to-end monitoring of the Sun-Earth system.

锯齿型扰流片对壁面压力分布的影响

在风洞用电子扫描阀进行测压,研究了绕平板扰流片和锯齿扰流片分离流动的壁面压力分布.结果表明平板扰流片和锯齿扰流片均在上游x/h=-6处剪切层开始分离,并再附于下游x/h≈20的位置.锯齿扰流片横向位置的变化对壁面平均压力分布几乎没有影响,但通过锯齿槽流向的压力脉动一般大于通过锯齿尖点流向的脉动.从平均压力分布看,锯齿高度可以增加扰流片阻流效果,采用锯齿扰流片可以减小下游壁面压力的脉动.
