Reducing the Cost of Spacecraft Ground Systems and Operations (Space Technology Proceedings, #3)
Reducing the cost of space program interests people more and more nowadays due to the concerns of budget limitation and commercialization of space technology. The Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Reducing the Cost of Spacecraft Ground Systems and Operations bring together papers contributed by the authors representing the research organizations, academic institutions and commercial sectors of 10 countries around the world. The papers encompass the subject areas in mission...
Effects of Solar Disturbances on the Thermosphere Densities and Winds from Champ and Grace Satellite Accelerometer Data.
by Eric K Sutton
Based on the proceedings of a symposium, this volume aims to provide a state-of-the-art discussion on the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS), in combination with Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), for the detailed sensing of the Earth's surface. Divided into two parts, the book first discusses GPS/INS with respect to theory and modelling, equipment trends, estimation methods and quality control, algorithms and software trends. It then describes the applications of these kinematic systems...
This volume features the contributions to the 15th Symposium of the STAB (German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association). Papers provide a broad overview of ongoing work in Germany, including high aspect ratio wings, low aspect ratio wings, bluff bodies, laminar flow control and transition, active flow control, hypersonic flows, aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics, mathematical fundamentals, numerical simulations, physical fundamentals, and facilities.
Compressible Fluid Flow (Engineering)
by P. H. Oosthuizen and William E. Carscallen
This text is based on practical applications, worked examples, and information about underlying assumptions. It includes coverage of fundamentals, a range of applications and hypersonic flow and aerodynamic heating. An interactive PC program is available free to users over the Internet, and enables calculations of compressible flow properties related to the text.
