Ocean Altimetry and Wind Applications of a GNSS Nanosatellite Constellation
Recent developments in electronics and nanosatellite technologies combined with modeling techniques developed over the past 20 years have enabled a new class of altimetry and wind remote sensing capabilities that offer markedly improved performance over existing observatories while opening avenues to new applications. Most existing spaceborne ocean altimetry and wind observatories are in polar ...
متن کاملThe Scientific Basis for the Space Interferometry Mission
The Space Interferometry Mission is expected to be launched in 2004. The mission, following closely the recommendations of the Bahcall Commission, will determine positions of point sources to an accuracy of 4 as globally and to 1 as over small angles (1). The instrument, based on the OSI architecture proposed by Michael Shao, will reach 20 mag in 3 10 4 sec and has a nominal lifetime of 5 yr. A...
متن کاملAutonomous Operations Experiments For the Distributed Emerald Nanosatellite Mission
Distributed space systems are often cited as a means of enabling vast performance increases ranging from enhanced mission capabilities to increased system flexibility. Achieving this vision, however, will require radical advances in the automated control of these multi-satellite systems. To explore this challenge, Santa Clara University and Stanford University have initiated development of a si...
متن کاملPrincipal Scientific Results of the Surveyor 3 Mission
The fine lunar surface material at the Surveyor 3 landing site has about 3 X 108-dyne/cm 2 cohesion, 35 ø angle of internal friction, 3 X 105-dyne/cm ' static bearing capacity. A small rock withstood a local pressure of 2 X 107 dynes/cm -ø. Soil strength and density increase significantly at depths of a few centimeters. Exposed surface has a considerably higher albedo than the material just bel...
متن کاملDeep Space One: Nasa’s First Deep-space Teciinology Validation Mission
Under development for launch in July 1998, Deep Space One (IX 1 ) is the first flight of NASA’s New Millennium Program, chartered to validate selected technologies required for future low-cost space science programs. Advanced technologies chosen for validation on DS 1 include solar electric propulsion, high-power solar concentrator arrays, autonomous on-board optical navigation, two low-mass sc...
