First Results in Terrain Mapping for a Roving Planetary Explorer
To perform planetary exploration without human supervision, a complete autonomous rover must be able to model its environment while exploring its surroundings. We present a new algorithm to construct a geometric terrain representation from a single range image. The form of the representation is an elevation map that includes uncertainty, unknown areas, and local features. By virtue of working i...

متن کاملFirst Results from the All-sky Monitor on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer
The all-sky monitor on the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer has been monitoring the sky in the 1.5–12 keV band since late February. The instrument consists of three coded-aperture cameras that can be rotated to view different regions by a motorized drive assembly. Intensities of 1100 known sources are obtained via least-squares fits of shadow patterns to the data and compiled to form X-ray light cur...
متن کاملEffect of Collisions on Electrostatic Probe Measurements
An experimental investigation of the length effect as a function of collisions in the sheath of a slightly ionized hypersonic flow regime for cylindrical ion collecting probes is undertaken. The results indicate a strong dependence of the length effec: on the number of collisions in the sheath and also on the degree of ionization of the media. This research was supported by the Advanced Researc...
متن کاملViewpoint Finally , results from Gravity Probe B
The great blues singer Etta James’ signature song begins, “At laaasst, my love has come along . . . .” This may have been the feeling on May 4th when NASA announced the long-awaited results of Gravity Probe B [1], which are appearing now in Physical Review Letters[2]. Over 47 years and 750 million dollars in the making, Gravity Probe B was an orbiting physics experiment, designed to test two fu...
