The NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission, currently in Phase B, is a two-spacecraft, Earth-orbiting mission, which will launch in 2012. The spacecraft's S-band radio frequency (RF) telecommunications subsystem has three primary functions: provide spacecraft command capability, provide spacecraft telemetry and science data return, and provide accurate Doppler data for navigation. The primary communications link to the ground is via the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory's (JHU/APL) 18 m dish, with secondary links to the NASA 13 m Ground Network and the Tracking and Data Relay Spacecraft System (TDRSS) in single-access mode. The on-board RF subsystem features the APL-built coherent transceiver and in-house builds of a solid-state power amplifier and conical bifilar helix broad-beam antennas. The coherent transceiver provides coherency digitally, and controls the downlink data rate and encoding within its field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The transceiver also provides a critical command decoder (CCD) function, which is used to protect against box-level upsets in the C&DH subsystem. Because RBSP is a spin-stabilized mission, the antennas must be symmetric about the spin axis. Two broad-beam antennas point along both ends of the spin axis, providing communication coverage from boresight to 70°. An RF splitter excites both antennas; therefore, the mission is designed such that no communications are required close to 90° from the spin axis due to the interferometer effect from the two antennas. To maximize the total downlink volume from the spacecraft, the CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) has been baselined for the RBSP mission. During real-time ground contacts with the APL ground station, downlinked files are checked for errors. Handshaking between flight and ground CFDP software results in requests to retransmit only the file fragments lost due to dropouts. This allows minimization of RF link margins, thereby maximizing data rate and thus data volume. 相似文献

An X, Y, Z Kalman tracking filter is described and its steady state characteristics are analytically determined when the radar sensor meaures range, bearing, and elevation (?, ?, ?) at uniform intervals of time, T seconds. The relationship between the quantities measured by the sensor (?, ?,?) and the Cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, Z) is explicitly considered. 相似文献

A distributed radar detection system that employs binary integration at each local detector is studied. Local decisions are transmitted to the fusion center where they are combined to yield a global decision. The optimum values of the two thresholds at each local processor are determined so as to maximize the detection probability under a given probability of false alarm constraint. Using an important channel model, performance comparisons are made to determine the integration loss 相似文献

The need exists for compounds that will protect individuals from high-dose acute radiation exposure in space and the agents that might be less protective but less toxic and longer acting. Metals and metal derivatives provide a small degree of radioprotection (dose reduction factor < or = 1.2 for animal survival after whole-body irradiation). Emphasis is placed here on the radioprotective potential of selenium (Se). Both the inorganic salt, sodium selenite, and the organic Se compound, selenomethionine, enhance the survival of irradiated mice (60Co, 0.2 Gy/min) when injected IP either before (-24 hr and -1 hr) or shortly after (+15 min) radiation exposure. When administered at equitoxic doses (one-fourth LD10; selenomethionine = 4.0 mg/kg Se, sodium selenite = 0.8 mg/kg Se), both drugs enhanced the 30-day survival of mice irradiated at 9 Gy. Survival after 10-Gy exposure was significantly increased only after selenomethionine treatment. An advantage of selenomethionine is lower lethal and behavioral toxicity (locomotor activity depression) compared to sodium selenite, when they are administered at equivalent doses of Se. Sodium selenite administered in combination with WR-2721, S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid, enhances the radioprotective effect and reduces the lethal toxicity, but not the behavioral toxicity, of WR-2721. Other studies on radioprotection and protection against chemical carcinogens by different forms of Se are reviewed. As additional animal data and results from human chemoprevention trials become available, consideration also can be given to prolonged administration of Se compounds for protection against long-term radiation effects in space. 相似文献

The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft was designed and constructed to withstand the harsh environments associated with achieving and operating in Mercury
orbit. The system can be divided into eight subsystems: structures and mechanisms (e.g., the composite core structure, aluminum
launch vehicle adapter, and deployables), propulsion (e.g., the state-of-the-art titanium fuel tanks, thruster modules, and
associated plumbing), thermal (e.g., the ceramic-cloth sunshade, heaters, and radiators), power (e.g., solar arrays, battery,
and controlling electronics), avionics (e.g., the processors, solid-state recorder, and data handling electronics), software
(e.g., processor-supported code that performs commanding, data handling, and spacecraft control), guidance and control (e.g.,
attitude sensors including star cameras and Sun sensors integrated with controllers including reaction wheels), radio frequency
telecommunications (e.g., the spacecraft antenna suites and supporting electronics), and payload (e.g., the science instruments
and supporting processors). This system architecture went through an extensive (nearly four-year) development and testing
effort that provided the team with confidence that all mission goals will be achieved.

Importance sampling for characterizing STAP detectors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This paper describes the development of adaptive importance sampling (IS) techniques for estimating false alarm probabilities of detectors that use space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithms. Fast simulation using IS methods has been notably successful in the study of conventional constant false alarm rate (CFAR) radar detectors, and in several other applications. The principal objectives here are to examine the viability of using these methods for STAP detectors, develop them into powerful analysis and design algorithms and, in the long term, use them for synthesizing novel detection structures. The adaptive matched filter (AMF) detector has been analyzed successfully using fast simulation. Of two biasing methods considered, one is implemented and shown to yield good results. The important problem of detector threshold determination is also addressed, with matching outcome. As an illustration of the power of these methods, two variants of the square-law AMF detector that are thought to be robust under heterogeneous clutter conditions have also been successfully investigated. These are the envelope-law and geometric-mean STAP detectors. Their CFAR property is established and performance evaluated. It turns out the variants have detection performances better than those of the AMF detector for training data contaminated by interferers. In summary, the work reported here paves the way for development of advanced estimation techniques that can facilitate design of powerful and robust detection algorithms 相似文献

The modelling, analysis and synthesis of an attitude control system for low orbit artificial satellites using stabilizing flaps are presented. The function of the system is to maintain the satellite aligned with the local vertical. The aerodynamic forces on the satellite are modelled assuming free molecular flow using the kinetic theory of gases. The control system development is considered through the application of stochastic control concepts. The satellite motion is described by the equations of motion based on Newtonian formulation. Starting from the separation principle, a sequential procedure is developed in which the state estimation and control problems are handled simultaneously. State estimate is provided by Kalman filter using the information about the position of the satellite and of the flaps. The controller acts on satellite in real time, and the stabilizing flaps are the only control elements. 相似文献

The difference in morphology between filled and shell type supernova remnants is attributed to differences in the activity of the neutron stars left by the supernovae. Pulsar activity leads to centrally concentrated remnants similar to the Crab. Non-activity as a pulsar results in all of the rotational energy loss going into dipole radiation. The pressure of this radiation creates shell-like objects with hollow interiors such as Cas A. 相似文献

The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) Radio Frequency (RF) Telecommunications Subsystem
is used to send commands to the spacecraft, transmit information on the state of the spacecraft and science-related observations,
and assist in navigating the spacecraft to and in orbit about Mercury by providing precise observations of the spacecraft’s
Doppler velocity and range in the line of sight to Earth. The RF signal is transmitted and received at X-band frequencies
(7.2 GHz uplink, 8.4 GHz downlink) by the NASA Deep Space Network. The tracking data from MESSENGER will contribute significantly
to achieving the mission’s geophysics objectives. The RF subsystem, as the radio science instrument, will help determine Mercury’s
gravitational field and, in conjunction with the Mercury Laser Altimeter instrument, help determine the topography of the
planet. Further analysis of the data will improve the knowledge of the planet’s orbital ephemeris and rotation state. The
rotational state determination includes refined measurements of the obliquity and forced physical libration, which are necessary
to characterize Mercury’s core state. 相似文献
