Roman Krawec 《Space Policy》1995,11(2)
Following Ukraine's 1991 declaration of independence and the disintegration of the USSR, Ukraine inherited a third of the Soviet Union's space industry. This paper presents an overview of the main features of Ukraine's current policy on the exploitation of this capability as a factor in the transformation of its economy. It illustrates how the policy is being realized in the areas of launch systems, Earth observation, satellite communications and international relations, and concludes that Ukraine's strengths in the space field are counterbalanced by obstacles which must be faced, both within the country and externally. 相似文献

Recent advances in the study of geomagnetic field reversals are reviewed. These include studies of the transitional field during the last geomagnetic reversal and the last geomagnetic excursion based on paleomagnetic observations, and analysis of reversals in self-consistent 3D numerical dynamo simulations. Field models inferred from observations estimate reversal duration in the range of 1–10 kyr (depending on site location). The transitional fields during both the Matuyama/Brunhes reversal and the Laschamp excursion are characterized by low-latitude reversed flux formation and subsequent poleward migration. During both events the dipole as well as the non-dipole field energies decrease. However, while the non-dipole energy dominates the dipole energy for a period of 2 kyr in the reversal, the non-dipole energy merely exceeds the dipole energy for a very brief period during the excursion. Numerical dynamo simulations show that stronger convection, slower rotation, and lower electrical conductivity provide more favorable conditions for reversals. A non-dimensional number that depends on the typical length scale of the flow and represents the relative importance of inertial effects, termed the local Rossby number, seems to determine whether a dynamo will reverse or not. Stable polarity periods in numerical dynamos may last about 1 Myr, whereas reversals may last about 10 kyr. Numerical dynamo reversals often involve prolonged dipole collapse followed by shorter directional instability of the dipole axis, with advective processes governing the field variation. Magnetic upwellings from the equatorial inner-core boundary that produce reversed flux patches at low-latitudes of the core-mantle boundary could be significant in triggering reversals. Inferences from the observational and modeling sides are compared. We summarize with an outlook on some open questions and future prospects. 相似文献

Blended control, predictor-corrector guidance algorithm: an enabling technology for Mars aerocapture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A guidance scheme designed for coping with significant dispersion in the vehicle's state and atmospheric conditions is presented. In order to expand the flyable aerocapture envelope, control of the vehicle is realized through bank angle and angle-of-attack modulation. Thus, blended control of the vehicle is achieved, where the lateral and vertical motions of the vehicle are decoupled. The overall implementation approach is described, together with the guidance algorithm macrologic and structure. Results of guidance algorithm tests in the presence of various single and multiple off-nominal conditions are presented and discussed. 相似文献

We study general relativistic effects on the bound orbits of solar sails. The combined effects of spacetime curvature and solar radiation pressure (SRP) lead to deviations from Kepler’s third law. Such kind of deviations also arise from frame dragging, the gravitational multipole moments of the sun, a net electric charge on the sun, and a positive cosmological constant. The SRP increases these deviations by several orders of magnitude, possibly rendering some of them detectable. We consider how the SRP modifies the perihelion shift of non-circular orbits, as well as the Lense-Thirring effect involving the precession of polar orbits. We investigate how the pitch angle for non-Keplerian orbits changes due to the partial absorption of light, general relativistic effects, and the oblateness of the sun. It is predicted that there is an analog of the Lense-Thirring effect for non-Keplerian orbits, in that the orbital plane precesses around the sun. We also consider the Poynting–Robertson effect and show that this effect can, in principle, be compensated for by an extremely small tilt of the solar sail. 相似文献
