The data capacity of aerospace PCM telemetry systems can be greatly improved by the application of data compression techniques, which exploit the redundancy in typical telemetry data. This paper describes the design concept for a compressed PCM (CPCM) telemetry system, and contrasts system design considerations to those involved in development of a conventional PCM system. Simulation results ar...

Researchers at Iowa State University (ISU) are developing next generation wind tunnels for studying primarily wind effects on structures. The Wind Simulation and Testing Laboratory in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics will house facilities that simulate straight-line, thunderstormand tornado-like winds. This paper describes the motivation for advancing the state ...

In order to reduce the redundant data transmission, control network data traffic, and improve the operation speed of the model in HLA simulation model, to improved Petri network modeling capabilities. In this paper, a simulation method is proposed to improve the performance of Petri network, which is based on the simulation of complex systems. After the Petri net is decomposed, each subnet is u...

Dynamics simulation plays a key role in the design, verification, and operation planning of the International Space Station manipulator systems because of the difficulties of ground-based physical tests with large flexible robotic systems. Modeling of contact dynamics has become essential to dynamics simulation of space station robotic operations (such as the assembly and maintenance of the sta...

This article is dedicated to the study of the method of various term system analysis from term formation perspective. Herewith as the simple of analysis is studied aerospace terminology in Russian language. The main ways of term formation are divided into four groups: synthetic way, adoption, semantic metaphorization, analytic way. Each way and the nuances of its analysis are explained in detai...

What role do cultural factors play in the survival of a company that faces existential problems, especially if these problems relate to co-operation between organisations with different cultures? We try to provide some answers by looking at the decline of the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker. In 1996 this company went bankrupt and among the causes of this event cultural factors rank high, at ...

Induction of cataracts by occupational exposure in flight crew has been an important topic of interest in aerospace medicine in the past five years, in association with numerous reports of flight-associated disease incidences. Due to numerous confounding variables, it has been difficult to determine if there is increased cataract risk directly caused by interaction with the flight environment, ...
