Determination of Barometric Altimeter Errors for the Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 Entry
The Exploration Flight Test 1 (EFT-1) mission is the unmanned flight test for the upcoming Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV). During entry, the EFT-1 vehicle will trigger several Landing and Recovery System (LRS) events, such as parachute deployment, based on on-board altitude information. The primary altitude source is the filtered navigation solution updated with GPS measurement data. The veh...
متن کامل5 v 1 2 1 N ov 2 00 0 Beam Test of BTeV Pixel Detectors
The silicon pixel vertex detector is one of the key elements of the BTeV spectrometer. Detector prototypes were tested in a beam at Fermilab. We report here on the measured spatial resolution as a function of the incident angles for different sensorreadout electronics combinations. We compare the results with predictions from our Monte Carlo simulation.
متن کاملSemiconductor Detectors in Radiation Medicine:
Semiconductor radiation detectors play an important role in radiation instrumentation. They have many advantages due to their small size, outstanding energy resolution in nuclear spectroscopy, easy pixilation for high spatial resolution and ability of integration with readout electronics. Advancement in microelectronic industry made silicon one of the most popular material for radiation detecto...
متن کاملNew materials for radiation hard semiconductor detectors
We present a review of the current status of research into new semiconductor materials for use as particle tracking detectors in very high radiation environments. This work is carried out within the framework of the CERN RD50 collaboration, which is investigating detector technologies suitable for operation at the proposed Super-LHC facility (SLHC). Tracking detectors operating at the SLHC in t...
متن کاملDesign and Flight Performance of the Orion Pre-Launch Navigation System
The Orion capsule, the successor of the Space Shuttle as NASA’s flagship human transportation vehicle, is designed to take men back to the Moon and beyond. The first Exploration Mission (EM1) is scheduled for 2018, while its first flight test, EFT-1 (Exploration Flight Test-1), was successfully completed on December 5th, 2014. The main objective of the test was to demonstrate the capability to ...
