Recent efforts in space exploration have focused on budget solutions for monitoring Earth’s climate and astrophysics. Implementing such a satellite requires thermal design in order to maintain the scientific instruments and bus components within their ideal operating temperatures. This paper outlines the thermal system’s engineering design and thermal analysis for a High Usability Host Spacecraft. Preliminary thermal engineering results suggest that the Hi Read More

Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in groundwater recharge runoff air moisture atmospheric temperature land degradation geo-chemical process surface and sub-surface biota including agriculture etc. Several studies have reported comparable results of space-borne passive microwaves remote sensing of surface (2 to 5 cm) SM using relationship between volumetric SM and brightness temperature dielectric constant polarimetry roughnes Read More

It is assumed that cosmic rays and other high-energy particles of extraterrestrial origin can be produced by first-order Fermi diffusive shock acceleration in plasma up to 5x1019 eV the point where they interact with the cosmic microwave background (CMB). First-order Fermi shock acceleration is due to a supersonic shock with a Mach number dependent on the index (or logarithmic slope) of the shock-induced power-law spectrum. The local all-parti Read More

Astronomers tried to detect gravitational waves which are generated by the movement of massive astronomical bodies. However it is very difficult to detect gravity waves by using conventional devices. Leon Brillouin proposed a concept of Graser that is a powerful amplifying device for gravity waves which can enable us to measure gravity waves their frequencies their velocities and how they propagate. According to the theory by Boyko Ivanov the gravit Read More

Effective self-sustaining ‘vacuum technologies’ such as magnetron-enhanced plasma deposition processes may be realized in virtually open space separated from the cosmos by a flexible gas barrier inflated by the functional gas pressure required by those processes. The key challenging aspects of the design and functioning of Ultra-low-pressure (ULP) inflatable structures as well as their structural integrity in space environment including micrometeoroid att Read More
