MICIOffiTBOROID MULTIPLE FOIL PENETRATION AND PARTICLE RECOVERY EXPERIMENTS ON BOARD SPACE SHUTTLE'S LONG DURATION EXPOSURE FACILITY (IDEF)
Experiments designed for the investigation of the near-Earth micrometeoroid flux on the Space Shuttle Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) are described. The paper examines, in particular, how two of the experiments deploy a series of multiple layer foil arrays to investigate the physical properties of incident meteoroids and lead to partial recovery of the micrometeoroids for laboratory anal...
متن کاملTANPOPO: Astrobiology Exposure and Micrometeoroid Capture Experiments
There is a long history of the microbe-collection experiments at high altitude. Microbes have been collected using balloons, aircraft and meteorological rockets. Spore forming fungi and Bacilli, and Micrococci have been isolated in these experiments. It is not clear how high do microbes go up. If the microbes might have been present even at higher altitudes, the fact would endorse the possibili...
متن کاملNew synchrotron powder diffraction facility for long-duration experiments
A new synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction instrument has been built and commissioned for long-duration experiments on beamline I11 at Diamond Light Source. The concept is unique, with design features to house multiple experiments running in parallel, in particular with specific stages for sample environments to study slow kinetic systems or processes. The instrument benefits from a high-bright...
متن کاملAdvanced Water Recovery Technologies for Long Duration Space Exploration Missions
Extended-duration space travel and habitation require recovering water from wastewater generated in spacecrafts and extraterrestrial outposts since the largest consumable for human life support is water. Many wastewater treatment technologies used for terrestrial applications are adoptable to extraterrestrial situations but challenges remain as constraints of space flights and habitation impose...
متن کاملSpace Experiments with Particle Accelerators: Sepac
The Space Experiments with Particle Accelerators (SEPAC), which flew on the ATLAS 1 mission, used new techniques to study natural phenomena in the Earth's upper atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere by introducing energetic perturbations into the system from a high power electron beam with known characteristics. Properties of auroras were studied by directing the electron beam into the upper...
