飞机动态机动指标测量

表征飞机在空中格斗时动态机动性能的新参数，是完成任务所需时间和机动的空间方位的函数，虽然这些参数是针对指向即发射空战和滚转反应机动提出的，但是，这种方法适用于大部分空战机动。该参数可用于预测空战效果和一架飞机相对另一架飞机时间优势。

交联双基粘合剂催化作用的研究

由美国海军发起,赫克利斯公司和赛奥科尔公司正联合研究一种负催化剂,三苯基铋(TPB)的化学性能,因它与交联双基(XLDB)推进剂的固化有关。测定了酸度(酸强度 pKa 和酸浓度)的作用,确定了活性 TPB 衍生物对酸的稳定性和反应性。研究了水作为催化剂可能的减活化剂的影响。另外,除了酸度能导致活化,还发现过氧化氢也能使 TPB 活化。PGA 的空气氧化是过氧化氢可能的来源,使用付利叶变换的红外光谱(FTIR)测定了推进剂组分对 TPB 催化的异氰酸酯——醇反应的延滞时间和固化速率的影响。     

Remote sensing of planetary properties and biosignatures on extrasolar terrestrial planets

The major goals of NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) and the European Space Agency's Darwin missions are to detect terrestrial-sized extrasolar planets directly and to seek spectroscopic evidence of habitable conditions and life. Here we recommend wavelength ranges and spectral features for these missions. We assess known spectroscopic molecular band features of Earth, Venus, and Mars in the context of putative extrasolar analogs. The preferred wavelength ranges are 7-25 microns in the mid-IR and 0.5 to approximately 1.1 microns in the visible to near-IR. Detection of O2 or its photolytic product O3 merits highest priority. Liquid H2O is not a bioindicator, but it is considered essential to life. Substantial CO2 indicates an atmosphere and oxidation state typical of a terrestrial planet. Abundant CH4 might require a biological source, yet abundant CH4 also can arise from a crust and upper mantle more reduced than that of Earth. The range of characteristics of extrasolar rocky planets might far exceed that of the Solar System. Planetary size and mass are very important indicators of habitability and can be estimated in the mid-IR and potentially also in the visible to near-IR. Additional spectroscopic features merit study, for example, features created by other biosignature compounds in the atmosphere or on the surface and features due to Rayleigh scattering. In summary, we find that both the mid-IR and the visible to near-IR wavelength ranges offer valuable information regarding biosignatures and planetary properties; therefore both merit serious scientific consideration for TPF and Darwin.
