Further Observations of Space Shuttle Plasma-electrodynamic Effects from Oss-1/sts-3

Recent analyses of ion measurements band electrostatic noise observed in the frequency obtained from the Differential Ion Flux Probe range of 30 Hz to 178 kHz [Shawhan et al., 1984]. (DIFP) on the deployed Plasma Diagnostics Package The Differential Ion Flux Probe (DIFP), used (PDP) during the OSS-1/STS-3 mission have provided for the ion measurements, has been described in an additional insigh...

Predictions of Amos Observations of Space Shuttle Engine Firings

Engine firings of the Space Shuttle primary control system (PRCS) thrusters can give rise to radiation observable from ground-based telescopes such as AMOS. Such observations would yield valuable information on the environment near the spacecraft during engine operation. The radiation and the mechanisms that produce it are also important to characterize because such radiation can be a significa...

The theory of electrodynamic space - time relativity ( Revision 3 )

The theory of electrodynamic space-time relativity (TESTR) is the study of the transformation of time and space between two electrodynamic inertial frames of reference, which have both inertial velocity difference and electric potential difference. It is a fundamental space-time theory of theoretical physics based on the Einstein’s special theory of relativity (STR), the electric potential limi...

New Observations of Transient Luminous Events from the Space Shuttle during the Meidex

In this work we report the results of observations of Transient Luminous Events above thundersorms, conducted during the STS-107 space shuttle mission, as part of the Mediterranean Israeli Dust Experiment (MEIDEX). We show the high detection rate of various events and describe some significant results that may enhance our understanding of the global occurrence of these transient events.
