Abstract Spacecraft pose estimation is an important technology to maintain or change the spacecraft orientation in space. For spacecraft pose estimation, when two spacecraft are relatively distant, the depth information ...

In this paper it is presented the concept and design of a new type of spacecraft that could be used to make the first manned interstellar travel. Solar one would integrate three near-term technologies, namely: compact nu...

In the modern era, several new technologies are being developed for the most convenient and easy usage of materials. Due to its effortless and quick usage properties, 3D printing technology has a vast application range n...

Using 5 years of spacecraft data from near Earth orbit, we investigate the correlation anisotropy of solar wind magnetohydrodynamic-scale fluctuations and show that the nature of the anisotropy differs in fast (>500 km/s...

Aims.eROSITA, on board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) spacecraft, performed its first X-ray all-sky survey (eRASS1) between December 2019 and June 2020. It detected about 930 000 sources, providing us with an unpreced...

Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are the manifestation of solar transient eruptions, which can significantly modify the plasma and magnetic conditions in the heliosphere. They are often preceded by a shock, ...

Simultaneous multiple point measurements of the magnetic field from 11 spacecraft are employed to determine the correlation scale and the magnetic Taylor microscale of the solar wind as functions of the mean magnetic fie...

Abstract The use of non-smart materials in structural components and kinematic pairs allows for flexible assembly in practical applications and is promising for aerospace applications. However, this approach can result i...

Abstract Nozomi was Japan’s first space mission to Mars, launched on 3 July 1998 UT. It was equipped with the Mars Dust Counter (MDC) which was an impact ionisation dust detector. MDC detected 96 dust particle impacts ...

Abstract Large-scale solar sails can provide power to spacecraft for deep space exploration. A new type of telescopic tubular mast (TTM) driven by a bistable carbon fiber-reinforced polymer tube was designed in this stud...

Between 2005 January 1 and 2017 November 25, the Wind spacecraft measured 3,996,051 electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs) in the near-Earth solar wind. The instrument was calibrated, and velocity moments were ...

Abstract Magnetic nulls are traditionally suggested as main points where energy dissipation occurs during reconnection. Such nulls have been widely observed in the diffusion region of standard reconnection following a tw...

The plasmasphere contains rich small-scale structure that plays a key role in regulating wave propagation and mass transport in the inner magnetosphere, yet the evolution of plasmaspheric density ducts remains poorly und...

The plasma sheath causes the spacecraft’s communication signal to attenuate dramatically during the re-entry period, which seriously threatens the astronauts. However, valid experimental protocols have not been obtaine...

We report fast sunward-propagating energetic proton field-aligned beams (FABs) observed about one Mars radius upstream of the Martian bow shock, recorded by the Solar Wind Ion Analyzer instrument on the MAVEN spacecraft....

Abstract The non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor in f(R, T) gravity can be interpreted as an effective manifestation of dissipation. Motivated by this, we propose a new formulation of f(R, T) gravity based o...

By applying a hybrid (kinetic ions and fluid electrons) simulation code, we study the plasma environment of Saturn's largest moon Titan during Cassini's T96 flyby on 1 December 2013. The T96 encounter marks the only obse...

Brief periods of extreme gravitational transition are anticipated during interplanetary spaceflight, including transitions between microgravity, hypogravity, and hypergravity. Rapid sensorimotor adaptation will occur fol...
