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.     

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.     

SPACE LIFE SCIENCE IN 2000-2001

Chinese scientists studied some of the problems in the field of space life science and achieved success in the area during 2000-2001. Space biological experi ments were carried out in the orbit and the results of ground studies on protein crystallization, space radiation, space motion sickness were introduced in this paper. The influences of simulated weightlessness on the brain-function, the car diovascular, endocrine hormones, immunity, skeletal and muscle systems were presented. In addition, gravity medicine and space environment medicine, as well as countermeasures to space deconditioning, such as the traditional Chinese medicine, were also reported.

浮栅ROM器件的质子辐射效应实验研究

给出了浮栅ROM器件的质子辐射效应实验结果.认为浮栅ROM28C256和29C256的质子辐射效应不是单粒子效应,而是质子及其次级带电粒子产生的累积剂量造成的总剂量效应.器件出现错误有个质子注量阈值.对于29C256,高温加电退火容易消除质子产生的辐射损伤;对于28C256,高温加电退火不易消除质子产生的辐射损伤.动态监测和静态加电的器件都出现数据错误,且不能用编程器重新写入数据.然而不加电的器件在更高的质子注量辐照下未出现错误.对于应用浮栅ROM器件的航天器电子系统,冷备份是提高其可靠性的有效手段之一.     

Progress on Space Solar Telescope in 2004 - 2006

The progress on Chinese Space Solar Telescope (SST) in 2004-2006 is introduced. The scientific objectives are further clarified and the ground operation system has been planned. The 7 key technical problems of SST satellite platform and payloads have been tackled, which lay solid scientific and technological foundations for engineering prototype phase of the SST project. At present the SST project undergoes evaluation by CNSA and CAS so as to enter the engineering prototype phase of the SST project if it is finally approved.
