低于大气压下复合固体推进剂的点火

从实验研究了低压下用CO_2激光对复合固体推进剂的点火。在低于大气压下,发现了三种点火方式:自持点火、非自持点火和脉冲点火。这里研究了聚丁二烯/过氯酸铵推进剂样品的自持和非自持点火。用光电管探测初始火焰,用K型热电偶测量表面和固相的温度。表面退缩的情况由照相记录下来。发现非自持点火在较低压力区及较高激光入射热流时发生。在点火实验中,损失到固相的热量在非自持点火中要比自持点火的情况下大得多。可以推断出,这些点火方式的确定并不依赖于火焰出现后的光照时间。     

轴对称推进剂药柱纵向燃烧不稳定性的预测

在推进剂药柱燃烧时,可以观察到纵向波型不稳定性。本文介绍预测方法的一般方案并与实际试验作了比较。由“T”型燃烧器得到模型中使用的数据(两种尺寸及两种工作状态)。本文研究的火箭发动机,其推进剂药柱都具有轴对称的几何形状,直径从200毫米到1500毫米。在预测和实际热试结果之间可能会出现一些偏差。当采用本方法时,仅预测不稳定的趋势是可能的。为了进行计算预测须作缩比发动机热试车并对过去一些试验进行分析。所有这些,对于发动机进行比较,都是很有用的工具。为了减小预测和实际热试车之间的偏差,对计算程序作了改进。要从两个主要方面进行探索:即更精确的分析模型和更好的输入数据。     

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.     

Spore UV and acceleration resistance of endolithic Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus subtilis isolates obtained from Sonoran desert basalt: implications for lithopanspermia

Bacterial spores have been used as model systems for studying the theory of interplanetary transport of life by natural processes such as asteroidal or cometary impacts (i.e., lithopanspermia). Because current spallation theory predicts that near-surface rocks are ideal candidates for planetary ejection and surface basalts are widely distributed throughout the rocky planets, we isolated spore-forming bacteria from the interior of near-subsurface basalt rocks collected in the Sonoran desert near Tucson, Arizona. Spores were found to inhabit basalt at very low concentrations (相似文献   

Production of neutrons from interactions of GCR-like particles

In order to help assess the risk to astronauts due to the long-term exposure to the natural radiation environment in space, an understanding of how the primary radiation field is changed when passing through shielding and tissue materials must be obtained. One important aspect of the change in the primary radiation field after passing through shielding materials is the production of secondary particles from the breakup of the primary. Neutrons are an important component of the secondary particle field due to their relatively high biological weighting factors, and due to their relative abundance, especially behind thick shielding scenarios. Because of the complexity of the problem, the estimation of the risk from exposure to the secondary neutron field must be handled using calculational techniques. However, those calculations will need an extensive set of neutron cross section and thicktarget neutron yield data in order to make an accurate assessment of the risk. In this paper we briefly survey the existing neutron-production data sets that are applicable to the space radiation transport problem, and we point out how neutron production from protons is different than neutron production from heavy ions. We also make comparisons of one the heavy-ion data sets with Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) calculations.     

近场合成孔径雷达处理器的快速算法

通过在被测频段上的对横向扫描范围内反向散射场的相参积累，可构成一幅雷达图像。这种相参积累可看作是被测数据与聚焦函数的卷积，聚焦函数仅与测量系统的几何配置有关。因此，通过采用快速傅里叶变换技术（ＦＦＴ）计算傅氏域的积，就可以有效地重构目标图像。另外，如果室内合成孔径雷达（ＳＡＲ）测量的几何图形相同，则只须一次性地计算出聚焦算子便可在处理不同数据组时重复使用，从而大大缩短了计算时间。
