Deep Space Terminal Demonstration
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Deep Space Terminal (DS-T) was a task that validated the concept of a fully automated, autonomous deep-space ground station. The DS-T successfully demonstrated “lights out”-mode ground-station operations using a Deep Space Network 34-meter beam-waveguide antenna that tracked a NASA deep-space probe orbiting Mars. The DS-T receives, processes, records, and distributes telemetry data to the project, without operator intervention. The DS-T task was a cooperative effort between JPL and industry, leveraging JPL’s specialized knowledge with industry’s fast implementation cycle.

A Complex Variations in the Rout and Branches of Radial Artrey
Radial artrey is one of the two terminal branches of brachial artery. It descends along the lateral side of the foream to the wrist where it curls posterolaterally round the carpus, deep to the snuff box, to reach the proximal end of the first intermetcarpal space where it dips in the palm and crosses medially to form the deep palmar arch with the deep branch of the ulnar artery. In the process...
متن کاملDeep-Space Communications and Coding: A Marriage Made in Heaven
It is almost a quarter of a century since the launch in 1968 of NASA's Pioneer 9 spacecraft on the first mission into deep-space that relied on coding to enhance communications on the critical downlink channel. [The channel code used was a binary convolutional code that was decoded with sequential decoding--we will have much to say about this code in the sequel.] The success of this channel cod...
متن کاملPoor Understanding of Radiation Profiles in Deep Space Causes Inaccurate Findings and Misleading Conclusions
The radiation environment in deep space, where astronauts are behind the shelter provided by the Earth’s magnetosphere, is a major health concern. Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar particle events (SPE) are two basic sources of space radiation in the solar system. The health risks of exposure to high levels of space radiation can be observed either as acute and delayed effects. Zhang et al. ...
متن کاملNumerical and Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Open-Die Hot Deep Drawing Process Parameters on the Formability of Commercially Pure Titanium
In the present study, the finite element analysis of the hot deep drawing process of commercially pure (CP) titanium has been performed without the blank holder in order to investigate the influence of temperature (T), die radius (Rd) and blank diameter (D) on the maximum punch force (Fp) and minimum thickness of the blank (t). Tensile tests were first conducted to extract...

Background: Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are major human pathogens of increasing importance due to the spread of antibiotic resistance. Novel potential targets for therapeutic antibodies are products of staphylococcal genes expressed during human infection. Previously, the secreted and surface-exposed proteins among seroreactive antigens have been discovered. Furthermore...
