Crew autonomy for deep space exploration: Lessons from the Antarctic Search for Meteorites

Future piloted missions to explore asteroids, Mars, and other targets beyond the Moon will experience strict limitations on communication between vehicles in space and control centers on Earth. These limitations will require crews to operate with greater autonomy than any past space mission has demonstrated. The Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) project, which regularly sends small teams of researchers to remote parts of the southern continent, resembles a space mission in many ways but does not rely upon a control center. It provides a useful crew autonomy model for planners of future deep space exploration missions. In contrast to current space missions, ANSMET gives the crew the authority to adjust competing work priorities, task assignments, and daily schedules; allows the crew to be the primary monitor of mission progress; demands greater crew accountability for operational errors; requires the crew to make the most of limited communication bandwidth; adopts systems designed for simple operation and failure recovery; and grants the crew a leading role in the selection and stowage of their equipment.     

Space science education in Egypt and the 2006 solar eclipse

The space science research has been started in Egypt since 1910 by measuring the solar constant as indication of solar radiation at Helwan Observatory. The solar sunspot studies and its influence on the Nile flooding was erected and operated at Helwan as a first solar station in Egypt during 1957. Zeiss-Coude’ refractor was installed in 1964. Astronomy and space science educations started in Egypt at the university level since 1936 at Department of Astronomy and Meteorology of Cairo University. Undergraduate and graduate education in Egypt will be discussed in this work.     

大后掠机翼翼尖导弹动力响应空测与数据分析

 <正> 大后掠机翼翼尖挂导弹对外界干扰的动力响应很灵敏,这种干扰主要来自随机不稳定气流或各种突加载荷。为保证安全和防止导弹失控,摸清其响应值非常必要;除理论计算外,对可能遇到的不平稳气流和突加载荷在翼尖导弹上的动力响应进行了空测,并用频谱分析和功率谱密度分析处理了空测数据,制订了翼尖导弹振动与冲击试验谱,进行了地面试验与空中打靶试验,获得了满意结果。     

自由落体下落速度振荡现象的研究

为了研究自由下落物体的速度震荡现象,基于相对运动原理,应用立式风洞研究了5种典型形状的物体在上升气流中的悬浮特性。模型包括球形、正方体、长方体、短圆柱体和碟形等刚体。风速的平均值由皮托管风速计测得,同时通过CCD相机记录了物体达到悬浮状态前后的运动状态并进行了定量分析。实验结果表明：对称性较好的物体具有较稳定的悬浮特性;而非对称性物体,由于不同姿态角下的阻力系数和扭矩系数不同,很难维持一个稳定的悬浮状态,将伴随姿态的变化不断发生振荡运动。从而说明,空间形体对称的物体自由下落过程中可以达到较稳定的最大下落速度,而形体非对称的物体则难以达到确定的最大速度。除实验研究之外,还采用动态网格数值模拟手段计算了二维方形模型下落过程中的姿态角及运动轨迹,同时得到模型不同姿态角下的阻力和扭矩,计算结果也进一步解释了物体下落速度会发生振荡的原因。

关于“用好的作风选人，选作风好的人”的逻辑梳理

“用好的作风选人，选作风好的人”必须确定相关的概念，必须进行科学的判断，必须进行正确的推理。本文试图从逻辑角度对这一选人用人原则进行梳理。

介绍了现有的煤矿安全监测和安全考勤管理系统的特点及缺陷，探讨了如何将多媒体计算机技术应用于煤矿安全监测管理系统。该系统具有实时监视、紧急救援和事故分析三大特点。     

缔约过失责任问题探讨

缔约过失责任是在合同缔结过程中产生的一种责任形式，是合同法中一项独立的法律制度。缔约过失责任与违约责任有着本质的区别，是基于缔约方违反先合同义务产生的责任形式，其损害对象是对方的信赖利益，而不是合同利益。本文通过对缔约过失责任的论述，阐明其产生的理论基础、成立要件、责任形式以及立法现状和趋势，谨希望能有助于我国相关立法的发展与完善。     

衍生金融工具对传统会计的冲击

衍生金融工具应运而生，但却无法在传统会计信息系统中反映，致使投资者在会计信息的占有与使用上严重不对称，无法作出最优决策。本文围绕衍生金融工具对传统会计要素、会计确认标准、会计计量基础以及会计报告的冲击，提出了基本的应对措施。
