CASH 2021: commercial access and space habitation

Issues about commercialization of space have been a growing concern in the past decade for the space community. This paper focuses on the work from a team of 51 students attending the Summer Session Program of the International Space University in Bremen, Germany. CASH 2021 (Commercial Access and Space Habitation) documents a plan that identifies commercial opportunities for space utilization that will extend human presence in space, and will chart the way forward for the next 20 years. The group selected four commercial sectors that show the most promise for the future: tourism, entertainment, space system service, assembly and debris removal, and research and development/production. The content of this document presents the results of their research. Historical activities in each of the commercial sectors are reviewed along with the current market situation. To provide a coherent background for future commercialization possibilities a scenario has been developed. This scenario includes a postulated upon ideal future and includes social, political and economic factors that may affect the space industry over the timeline of the study. The study also presents a roadmap, within the limited optimistic scenario developed, for the successful commercialization of space leading to future human presence in space. A broad range of commercially viable opportunities, not only within the current limits of the International Space Station, but also among the many new developments that are expected by 2021 are discussed.     

具有应变梯度的复合推进剂中裂纹扩展的特性

本文研究在具有应变梯度、填充密度大的复合推进剂中裂纹扩展的特性。采用中心有楔形裂纹的双轴试样。在室温、恒定十字头速度下进行试验。考虑了两种裂纹长度。通过分析试验数据来研究初始裂纹长度和非均匀总应变场对推进剂裂纹扩展特性的影响,还研究了测量裂纹长度所用时间间隔对裂纹扩展速率计算精度的影响。

Human exploration of Mars

The human exploration of Mars has the potential to return a rich harvest of scientific information about that planet, its possible past biological history and the prospects for future habitation by Earthly life. The realization of that potential will require new approaches and new technologies--a whole new paradigm in space exploration. Picture yourself exploring the surface of Mars, where your task involves conducting a detailed investigation of features larger than the United States in order to uncover a record of planetary history spanning over four billion years.     

困境中分高下 2009全球最佳业绩企业排行榜解析

美国《航空周刊和空间技术》杂志年中公布了2009年最新的全球航空航天和防务领域企业的15届年度业绩最佳公司(TPC)排行榜。与2008年的排行榜相比,排名发生了很大的变化,显示了不同企业在经济环境恶劣下不同的适应能力,一些去年的巨头排名明显下滑,而一些企业排名显著上升。     

旅鸽灭绝之谜：人为之外的原因

1914年,当最后一只旅鸽在一家动物园死亡后，该物种的灭绝就成为一个警世故事，用来说明人类对自然界的影响有多么巨大。但是。一项新的研究发现，在旅鸽灭绝之前的100万年里，这种鸟类经历了多次数量上的激增和骤减，旅鸽种群对自然波动的敏感性有可能是造成其易于灭绝的原因。     

基于非结构自适应网格和嵌入边界法的残差格式研究

嵌入边界法由于在求解NS方程时能够简化网格生成问题而在计算流体领域受到越来越广泛的关注.简言之,嵌入边界法能够简化大变形和运动条件下多物理流动模拟、流固相互作用耦合问题,然而壁面边界条件的精确处理仍旧是该方法需要解决的问题.在本文工作中,为考虑壁面边界条件而在NS方程中增加了补偿项,同时采用非结构网格自适应技术保持了壁面边界条件的精度.     

靶场标准化及自动化计划第二阶段

一、靶场背景 美国主要的航天发射场,包括东靶场(位于弗罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角)和西靶场(位于加利福尼亚州范登堡空军基地)起源于50年代,在随后的几十年内进行了逐步扩展和改进。直到前不久移交给空军空间司令部时,这些靶场才更多地用作研究和开发单位,而不只是操作运行单位。逐步改造使它们具备了支持发射新型航天器、弹道导弹以及逐步发展起来的     

一种硅角速率传感器的误差模型

微型传感器和高效信号处理之间的结合对于获得导航应用中所需的技术指标是至关重要的。文中概述了一种微机械硅角速率传感器的性能，表明它的主要缺陷是由一项重要的偏置漂移构成。本文建立了它的误差模型并且将它应用在基于卡尔曼滤波的修正运算之中。
