We present observations of energetic ions from the Ulysses COSPIN Low Energy Telescope in the mid and high-latitude regions of the heliosphere prior to and during the first polar pass of the Ulysses spacecraft. After the encounter with Jupiter, Ulysses started on its journey out-of-the-ecliptic. Between 13°S and 29°S the spacecraft sampled the solar wind from both the streamer belt and the polar coronal hole. Here, co-rotating magnetic structures with forward and reverse shocks and containing accelerated energetic ions were observed.At latitudes greater than 29°S, Ulysses was completely immersed in the solar wind from the polar coronal hole. Here the co-rotating magnetic structures were weaker, and in general had only reverse shocks, but were still capable of accelerating the energetic ions, albeit with reduced intensity. The most recent results show that beyond 50°S, very few if any, reverse shocks are observed. However, accelerated ions from magnetic interaction regions are still observed. We report also on an intensity enhancement at 50°S due to the passage of a high-latitude CME. 相似文献

The Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) is one of the payload science instruments on the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry,
and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission, which launched on August 3, 2004. The altimeter will measure the round-trip time of flight
of transmitted laser pulses reflected from the surface of the planet that, in combination with the spacecraft orbit position
and pointing data, gives a high-precision measurement of surface topography referenced to Mercury’s center of mass. MLA will
sample the planet’s surface to within a 1-m range error when the line-of-sight range to Mercury is less than 1,200 km under
spacecraft nadir pointing or the slant range is less than 800 km. The altimeter measurements will be used to determine the
planet’s forced physical librations by tracking the motion of large-scale topographic features as a function of time. MLA’s
laser pulse energy monitor and the echo pulse energy estimate will provide an active measurement of the surface reflectivity
at 1,064 nm. This paper describes the instrument design, prelaunch testing, calibration, and results of postlaunch testing. 相似文献

The Plasma Experiment for Planetary Exploration (PEPE) flown on Deep Space 1 combines an ion mass spectrometer and an electron
spectrometer in a single, low-resource instrument. Among its novel features PEPE incorporates an electrostatically swept field-of-view
and a linear electric field time-of-flight mass spectrometer. A significant amount of effort went into developing six novel
technologies that helped reduce instrument mass to 5.5 kg and average power to 9.6 W. PEPE’s performance was demonstrated
successfully by extensive measurements made in the solar wind and during the DS1 encounter with Comet 19P/Borrelly in September
2001.

The Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) will make in-situ measurements of the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
The consortium will provide the complementary data sets necessary for an understanding of the plasma processes in the inner
coma, and the structure and evolution of the coma with the increasing cometary activity. Five sensors have been selected to
achieve this: the Ion and Electron Sensor (IES), the Ion Composition Analyser (ICA), the Langmuir Probe (LAP), the Mutual
Impedance Probe (MIP) and the Magnetometer (MAG). The sensors interface to the spacecraft through the Plasma Interface Unit
(PIU). The consortium approach allows for scientific, technical and operational coordination, and makes optimum use of the
available mass and power resources. 相似文献

Nitrous oxide as a rocket propellant 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nitrous oxide is introduced as a multi-purpose propellant for spacecraft. Potential space applications of this propellant are given. Based on comparison to conventional systems, a multi-mode nitrous oxide propulsion concept is expected to deliver higher performance. Main features of a self-pressurising, nitrous oxide storage system are described. A nitrous oxide catalytic decomposition technique is suggested for restartable spacecraft propulsion. Up-to-date experimental results are presented. A conclusion describes the long-term feasibility of novel nitrous oxide propulsion option concepts. 相似文献

This paper investigates the optimization of the full-polarization radar transmission waveform and the receiver response to maximize either target detection or identification performance. Application of such full-polarization matched-illumination techniques to simulated VHF-band frequency response data of mobile surface targets yields a significant performance improvement over that corresponding to chirped full-polarization transmission waveforms. 相似文献

We present results from SOHO/UVCS measurements of the density and flow speed of plasma at the Sun and again of the same plasma
by Ulysses/SWOOPS in the solar wind. UVCS made measurements at 3.5 and 4.5 solar radii and Ulysses was at 5.1 AU. Data were
taken for nearly 2 weeks in May–June 1997 at 9–10 degrees north of the equator in the streamer belt on the east limb. Density
and flow speed were compared to see if near Sun characteristics are preserved in the interplanetary medium. By chance, Ulysses
was at the very northern edge of the streamer belt. Nevertheless, no evidence was found of fast wind or mixing of slow wind
with fast wind coming from the northern polar coronal hole. The morphology of the streamer belt was similar at the beginning
and end of the observing period, but was markedly different during the middle of the period. A corresponding change in density
(but not flow speed) was noted at Ulysses.
