固体火箭发动机加压固化的研究

本文研究了一种制造固体火箭发动机的新型加压固化方法。其研究总旨,是以此来消除推进剂药柱在制造时所产生的热应力。通过加压固化对推进剂物理特性影响的初步研究结果表明,虽然力学性能由于受到加压固化的一定影响,而具有脆化的倾向,但是,实用尚无问题。同时加压固化有利于药柱和绝热层之间牢固粘接,燃速几乎不受其影响。为了考察加压固化的固化点而进行了发动机实际装药固化试验。根据对推进剂药柱的内应力和发动机壳体形变的实际测量,定量地证实了加压固化的效果。用加压固化法制造的发动机进行燃烧试验的结果表明,燃烧是稳定的,对燃烧性能没有影响。根据上述研究结果,可以认为,加压固化法具有实用的可能性。     

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.     

通过聚集探测SAR图像中的动目标

本文介绍的是一种在合成孔径雷达（SAR）图像中探测动目标的方法。这种方法是将SAR复图像分成若干分区，分别对各个分区进行聚焦，然后测量聚焦区域中锐度的增长情况，这种方法能敏锐地检测到目标的方位速度，对目标径向加速度的检测尤为敏锐，还能对任意方向的运动进行检测，对于只能检测快速运动目标径向速度的传统多普勒传感动目标指示器而言，这种方法是一种有效的补充。     

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。

Leadership issues with multicultural crews on the international space station: lessons learned from Shuttle/Mir

In isolated and confined environments, two important leadership roles have been identified: the task/instrumental role (which focuses on work goals and operational needs), and the supportive/expressive role (which focuses on morale goals and emotional needs). On the International Space Station, the mission commander should be familiar with both of these aspects of leadership. In previous research involving a 135-day Mir space station simulation in Moscow and a series of on-orbit Mir space station missions during the Shuttle/Mir program, both these leadership roles were studied. In new analyses of the Shuttle/Mir data, we found that for crewmembers, the supportive role of the commander (but not the task role) related positively with crew cohesion. For mission control personnel on the ground, both the task and supportive roles of their leader were related positively to mission control cohesion. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of leadership on board the International Space Station.
