Who are the SETI sceptics?

Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is now more than half a century old and has provoked enough discussion on technical, philosophical, and popular level, much of it critical. Historically, the criticism of SETI has been strong enough to heavily influence the course of research, so that there is a significant interest in discerning the nuances and fine points of critical argumentation. In this paper, I outline the two major forms of SETI scepticism, “fundamentalist” and “instrumentalist,” which are often conflated in the published literature, both technical and popular. Precise delineation between these two types of scepticism is important for future research as a part of a wider taxonomic project, the build-up of SETI theory, as well as for smooth joining of SETI with the ongoing astrobiological revolution. Resolving the confusion in this respect is likely to lead to an improved atmosphere and heightened public image of future SETI searches and related activities.

Strategic Priority Program on Space Science

In 1957, the launch of the first artificial satellite ushered in a new era for modern space science.The past 50 years' developments in China's space science have witnessed many major missions, and substantial progress has been achieved in space science study, exploration technology as well as experiment technology. Strategic Priority Program on Space Science was officially started in 2011. Through both self-developed space science missions and those with international cooperation,it is expected that the innovative breakthroughs will be realized, leapfrog development of related high-tech will be achieved to establish the important strategic status of space science in national development. To sum up, the implementation of the Strategic Priority Program on Space Science will definitely promote the rapid development of China's space science endeavor, making contributions to China's development and the progress of human civilization.      

考虑数值离散误差的湍流模型选择引入的不确定度量化

在流体力学数值模拟过程中存在着多种来源的不确定因素,科学、定量地描述这些因素对模拟结果的影响对模型确认、工业产品设计优化和性能评估等过程十分重要。数值离散、模型选择和模型预测偏差是模拟过程中3种重要的不确定性来源,为将这3种不确定性因素对模拟目标量的影响统一考虑,发展了考虑数值离散误差的贝叶斯模型平均方法。首先,通过对数值离散解和网格尺度进行拟合完成数值离散误差估计,得到每个备选模型真实解的置信区间。然后,通过嵌套方法和条件优化算法,结合贝叶斯模型平均方法构建目标量的概率盒,定义目标变量累积分布函数的上、下限,以此分析其置信区间。最后,针对NACA0012低速绕流和CHN-T1跨声速绕流问题,给出了同时考虑上述3种不确定性因素之后升、阻力系数的置信区间分析示例。     

世界时与地球时转换经验公式的改进与比较

针对世界时与地球时的差值ΔT问题,提出了新的拟合多项式。基于美国海军天文台发布的1657年~2020年间的ΔT数据,以及IERS(International Earth Rotation and reference systems Service,国际地球自转和参考系服务组织)公报中公布的LS(Leap Seconds,跳秒)数据,在美国NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration,国家航空航天局)经验公式的基础上进行了改进,分别用3次、4次、5次、6次多项式进行拟合。然后,基于最小二乘法得到一组多项式经验公式,可适用于公元纪年、儒略日、简约儒略日以及从J2000.0起算的儒略世纪数等4种时间格式。通过精度计算表明,该组经验公式计算结果与USNO(United States Navy Observatory,美国海军天文台)基准序列的残差不超过±1.29s,与IERS基准序列的残差不超过±0.16s,整体优于NASA经验公式的计算精度。同时还给出了得到更高精度经验公式的拟合方法。     

Chang'E-1 Lunar Mission:An Overview and Primary Science Results

Chang'E-1 is the first lunar mission in China, which was successfully launched on Oct. 24th, 2007. It was guided to crash on the Moon on March 1, 2009, at 52.36oE, 1.50oS, in the north of Mare Fecunditatis. The total mission lasted 495 days, exceeding the designed life-span about four months. 1.37 Terabytes raw data was received from Chang'E-1. It was then processed into 4 Terabytes science data at different levels. A series of science results have been achieved by analyzing and applicating these data, especially "global image of the Moon of China's first lunar exploration mission'. Four scientific goals of Chang'E-1 have been achieved. It provides abundant materials for the research of lunar sciences and cosmochemistry. Meanwhile these results will serve for China's future lunar missions.      

The MESSENGER Science Operations Center

The MESSENGER Science Operations Center (SOC) is an integrated set of subsystems and personnel whose purpose is to obtain, provide, and preserve the scientific measurements and analysis that fulfill the objectives of the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission. The SOC has two main functional areas. The first is to facilitate science instrument planning and operational activities, including related spacecraft guidance and control operations, and to work closely with the Mission Operations Center to implement those plans. The second functional area, data management and analysis, involves the receipt of science-related telemetry, reformatting and cataloging this telemetry and related ancillary information, retaining the science data for use by the MESSENGER Science Team, and preparing data archives for delivery to the Planetary Data System; and the provision of operational assistance to the instrument and science teams in executing their algorithms and generating higher-level data products.
