Prospects and opportunities for space collaboration with Latin America: What can India contribute and gain?

India in Asia and Brazil in Latin America are regarded as the most promising global economies. This paper examines the openings and possibilities for space technology collaboration between India and Latin American states under the larger rubric of science and technology collaboration. While the distance and language barriers between the two regions have proved a hindrance in the past, the paper proceeds with an assumption that, in the 21st century, such barriers should not be a limitation on developing strategic, economic, and science and technology partnerships among nation-states. The paper argues that the Latin American states are keen to have their own satellites because of their significant utility in the socioeconomic sector and this offers an opportunity to India to use cooperation in space technologies as a powerful tool for engagement in Latin America.     

Space activities in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

This paper summarizes the establishment and current development of space activities in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Space activities in Venezuela are focused on the areas of telecommunications, Earth observation and research on the physical properties of the Earth, and have as a primary goal the satisfaction of social needs. Current development of space activities started in 1999 when the new National Constitution recognized the value of outer space as the common heritage of mankind, and the key role of science and technology in promoting human welfare. The Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities (ABAE) was created in 2007. Its legal framework recognizes three key elements that drive its policy: the participation of society, capacity building and human training, and international cooperation. Indeed ongoing international cooperation with partners such as China, India, Brazil and Uruguay has already expanded Venezuelan space capabilities, allowing the country to launch its first telecommunications satellite, Venesat-1 in 2008, to plan the infrastructure development for the design of small satellites, and to train 1195 local professionals in space science, technology and applications. Our analysis shows that Venezuela has the potential to become a space leadership country, promoting the social welfare, integration, and sustainable development of Latin American countries.

固体火箭冲压发动机含硼推进剂燃烧性能实验研究

利用地面直连试验系统对含硼推进剂在某固体火箭冲压发动燃烧过程性能进行试验研究。通过对含硼推进剂燃烧后凝聚相样品的SEM,EDS和XPS分析,探讨推进剂燃烧过程。在凝聚相EDS分析中,硼元素含量随着远离推进剂轴向方向显著降低,氧元素含量显著升高。在补燃室中,由于补充富氧空气,一次燃烧产物进一步反应,导致环境温度上升。由于高温,硼颗粒发生燃烧,产生大量气态硼化物,从而导致硼元素含量下降。二次燃烧凝聚相产物中,硼的非完全氧化物占比在40%以上,氮化硼占比在20%以上,硼颗粒占比7%以下。研究结果表明,随着推进剂在燃气发生器和补燃室内的一、二次燃烧,硼颗粒逐渐减少,并分别与环境中的C和O等元素发生化学反应,在凝聚相中的含量逐渐降低,氧元素在补燃室之后显著增加,氮化硼为凝聚相主要成分之一,存在于各特征位置。推进剂中的硼颗粒没有被完全燃烧,燃烧效率有待于进一步提高。
