Space Life Science of China in 2013

In the past two years, space life science research in China is characterized by a wide area of basic researches for providing foundation for the future China Space Station. The effect of microgravity and radiation was further studied from physiology phenomena to the level of bio-molecule mechanisms. Chinese space life science is maturing in a new era of comprehensive development. Here, we review and summarize researches on space life sciences which were contributed by Chinese scientists.      

Thick galactic cosmic radiation shielding using atmospheric data

NASA is concerned with protecting astronauts from the effects of galactic cosmic radiation and has expended substantial effort in the development of computer models to predict the shielding obtained from various materials. However, these models were only developed for shields up to about 120 g/cm² in mass thickness and have predicted that shields of this mass thickness are insufficient to provide adequate protection for extended deep space flights. Consequently, effort is underway to extend the range of these models to thicker shields and experimental data is required to help confirm the resulting code. In this paper empirically obtained effective dose measurements from aircraft flights in the atmosphere are used to obtain the radiation shielding function of the Earth's atmosphere, a very thick, i.e. high mass, shield. Obtaining this result required solving an inverse problem and the method for solving it is presented. The results are shown to be in agreement with current code in the ranges where they overlap. These results are then checked and used to predict the radiation dosage under thick shields such as planetary regolith and the atmosphere of Venus.     

Analytical-HZETRN model for rapid assessment of active magnetic radiation shielding

The use of active radiation shielding designs has the potential to reduce the radiation exposure received by astronauts on deep-space missions at a significantly lower mass penalty than designs utilizing only passive shielding. Unfortunately, the determination of the radiation exposure inside these shielded environments often involves lengthy and computationally intensive Monte Carlo analysis. In order to evaluate the large trade space of design parameters associated with a magnetic radiation shield design, an analytical model was developed for the determination of flux inside a solenoid magnetic field due to the Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR) radiation environment. This analytical model was then coupled with NASA’s radiation transport code, HZETRN, to account for the effects of passive/structural shielding mass. The resulting model can rapidly obtain results for a given configuration and can therefore be used to analyze an entire trade space of potential variables in less time than is required for even a single Monte Carlo run. Analyzing this trade space for a solenoid magnetic shield design indicates that active shield bending powers greater than ∼15 Tm and passive/structural shielding thicknesses greater than 40 g/cm² have a limited impact on reducing dose equivalent values. Also, it is shown that higher magnetic field strengths are more effective than thicker magnetic fields at reducing dose equivalent.

Soybean cultivar selection for Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSSs) – Hydroponic cultivation

Four soybean cultivars (‘Atlantic’, ‘Cresir’, ‘Pr91m10’ and ‘Regir’), selected through a theoretical procedure as suitable for cultivation in BLSS, were evaluated in terms of growth and production. Germination percentage and Mean Germination Time (MGT) were measured. Plants were cultivated in a growth chamber equipped with a recirculating hydroponic system (Nutrient Film Technique). Cultivation was performed under controlled environmental conditions (12 h photoperiod, light intensity 350 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, temperature regime 26/20 °C light/dark, relative humidity 65–75%). Fertigation was performed with a standard Hoagland solution, modified for soybean specific requirements, and EC and pH were kept at 2.0 dS m⁻¹ and 5.5 respectively.

核事故发生时,可靠、准确的源项信息能为应急防护行动措施决策提供数据支持。采用Matlab软件神经网络工具箱可以实现基于BP神经网络的核事故源项反演,为提高核事故源项反演计算的准确度,针对反演时的几个重要参数进行研究,包括隐含层节点数、训练函数、学习率和隐含层数。研究结果表明,在单隐含层神经网络结构情况下,存在着最优隐含层节点数,综合考虑训练时间和误差,本文选取隐含层节点数为50来对其他参数影响进行进一步研究;在相同参数设置条件下,训练函数Trainlm比Traingdm更适合数据量较小时的核事故源项反演,反演计算准确度更高,在节点数为50时训练时间缩短了近35%;高学习率以及双隐含层能有效地提高核事故源项反演的精度,但训练时间相对增加。

为便于霍尔推力器羽流在轨诊断测量,文章提出了一种基于光谱诊断衍生出来的图像诊断方法。首先对推力器羽流进行光学图像采集,然后提取出能够反映羽流不同谱段光强信息的红绿蓝三通道数据;同时结合相机成像原理分析,得到不同通道的像素点灰度值与羽流光谱强度的对应关系;并且基于光谱碰撞辐射模型,建立了羽流图像计算模型。研究结果表明,利用图像诊断方法计算得到的羽流区电子温度和离子密度分布规律均与探针试验结果相吻合,计算的相对不确定度分别约为20%和15%,说明了该诊断方法精度适中,具有较高的可靠性,适用于在轨诊断霍尔推力器羽流等离子体参数。
