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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

Abstract Solar arrays are the primary energy source for spacecraft. Although traditional rigid solar arrays improve power supply, the quality increases proportionally. Hence, it is difficult to satisfy the requirements o...

In this work, a low-cost attitude navigation system for spacecrafts is presented. The system fuses measurements from a three axis MEMS gyroscope and a CCD camera that identifies a known pattern of points (which emulate t...
