电磁信号在时变等离子体中传播的调制效应

近期有研究文献表明,高速飞行器等离子鞘套由于姿态调整、湍流、非均匀烧蚀等因素的影响,其等离子体参数可能存在时变特性。针对电磁波在时变等离子体中的传播问题,在经典色散介质传播理论中引入了时变参数项,得出了调制效应与等离子体参数、载波频率的关系;在此基础上对载波频率为35GHz和12GHz时QPSK信号在时变等离子体中的传播进行仿真,结果表明：时变等离子引起的调制效应会使调相信号的星座图发生旋转;提高载波频率有助于减弱调制效应,减少星座点的交叠,误码率降低。     

Fast solar sail rendezvous mission to near Earth asteroids

The concept of fast solar sail rendezvous missions to near Earth asteroids is presented by considering the hyperbolic launch excess velocity as a design parameter. After introducing an initial constraint on the hyperbolic excess velocity, a time optimal control framework is derived and solved by using an indirect method. The coplanar circular orbit rendezvous scenario is investigated first to evaluate the variational trend of the transfer time with respect to different hyperbolic excess velocities and solar sail characteristic accelerations. The influence of the asteroid orbital inclination and eccentricity on the transfer time is studied in a parametric way. The optimal direction and magnitude of the hyperbolic excess velocity are identified via numerical simulations. The found results for coplanar circular scenarios are compared in terms of fuel consumption to the corresponding bi-impulsive transfer of the same flight time, but without using a solar sail. The fuel consumption tradeoff between the required hyperbolic excess velocity and the achievable flight time is discussed. The required total launch mass for a particular solar sail is derived in analytical form. A practical mission application is proposed to rendezvous with the asteroid 99942 Apophis by using a solar sail in combination with the provided hyperbolic excess velocity.

为了减缓飞行器在临近空间高速飞行时产生的等离子体鞘套“黑障”对其通信影响,根据ITU分配的临近空间3区业务频段,设计了一种在Ka/V双频段工作的口径耦合微带天线。该天线在中间缝隙开一圆孔,通过改变圆孔大小实现双频工作,并组成1×4的天线阵列,实现了在Ka和V两个频段的通信。设计结果表明：在Ka频段的-10dB带宽达到11.33%,V频段带宽达到2.52%,满足其在临近空间3区业务的通信频段。该天线易于实现,结构简单,可为临近空间通信飞行器天线设计提供参考。     

临近空间地面模拟装置等离子体源仿真研究

为了指导临近空间地面模拟装置中等离子体源结构设计及等离子体环境参数优化,围绕相关指标体系要求,采用数值模拟方法,分析临近空间等离子体环境地面模拟装置中的射流等离子体与下游目标模拟体相互作用。通过研究射流入口处等离子体状态与下游等离子体对钝体包覆效果的依赖关系,明确了影响包覆特性的关键等离子体参数、重要外控参量,及其对下游目标模拟体包覆特性的影响规律。仿真结果表明：相对于其他因素,射流入口的半径、气体流速、速度偏角、气体温度、钝体直径、环境背压等工况对有效实验区长度及厚度参数的影响较大。相关结果对于临近空间等离子体环境地面模拟装置中等离子体源优化设计及等离子体环境参数定向调控具有指导和借鉴意义。     

A mission concept for the low-cost large-scale exploration and characterisation of near earth objects

This paper presents the preliminary mission and science analysis of a new mission concept for the large scale, low-cost exploration of Near Earth Objects (NEOs). The concept is to enable close range observations of NEOs by performing close flybys of a series of NEOs at one of their nodal points, with pairs of small spacecraft flying in formation. The paper presents a preliminary assessment of accessible asteroids and multi-target tour trajectories from data available in the JPL small-body database.The main instruments on board each spacecraft are a camera and a LIDAR which together can be used for orbit determination, surface imaging, direct asteroid ranging and asteroid mass estimation via intersatellite ranging. The paper provides a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the measurable quantities during each flyby. In particular, the feasibility of a novel method of NEO mass estimation is assessed.

Combination methods of tropospheric time series

In this article we present two methods for combination of different Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) time-series for the same GNSS site, but from different producers or different processing setups. One method has been setup at ASI/CGS, the other at KNMI. Using Near Real-Time (NRT) ZTD data covering 1 year from the E-GVAP project, the performance of the two methods is inter-compared and validation is made against a combined ZTD solution from EUREF, based on post-processed ZTDs. Further, validation of the ASI combined solutions is made against independent ZTDs derived from radiosonde, Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) ZTD.     

Imaging spectroscopy of the Venus 1.27-μm O2 airglow with ground-based telescopes

Several ground-based observations of the Venus 1.27-μm O₂ airglow were carried out from 2002 to 2005. Spectral image cubes were taken with the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory/infrared imaging spectrometer (superOASIS), the Gunma Astronomical Observatory/Cassegrain Near-Infrared Camera and NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility/cryogenic echelle spectrograph (CSHELL). The brightest airglow features were found at around the anti-solar point, which is in agreement with previous studies. We derived the rotational temperature distributions on the nightside hemisphere from observed airglow spectra. The temperature shows a weak positive correlation with the airglow intensity. The result indicates the bright region is heated chemically and/or dynamically, and supports the existing scenario for the Venus O₂ airglow. That is, the airglow is excited by the descending oxygen transported from the dayside.
