Design of a rapid transit to Mars mission using laser-thermal propulsion

Utilizing Thermal Infrared Spectra of Mars for Mission Planning

Reflectance and emission spectroscopy remain the most capable method for mineral identification from orbit. However, to best utilize spectra returned from Mars for mission planning, the current level of understanding of the spectral signature of weathered and rough materials should be considered. Materials measured in the laboratory tend to have band strengths that are stronger than those measu...

Supersonic Retro-Propulsion Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis Applied to Future Mars Mission

The mission to mars Webliographer: a principled approach to the design of a CSCL tool

The Mission to Mars Webliographer is a tool which allows children and adults to collaborate and synthesize Internet resources for research in context rich, sustained learning environments. In communicating the process of software development and analysis that went into the Mission to Mars Webliographer, we use a framework first proposed by Koschmann et al. (1996). This framework is a four step ...

HERRO Mission to Mars Using Telerobotic Surface Exploration from Orbit

In a previous paper, we outlined a strategy for human exploration that combines elements of both human spaceflight and robotic exploration in a cost-effective strategy for exploration that could be adapted to multiple targets in the solar system [1, 2]. This Human Exploration using Real-time Robotic Operations (HERRO) [1] approach differs from the traditional view of human exploration, in that ...

investigation of thermal comfort properties of woven sport fabric using blend of estabragh fibers

امروزه لباس در نظر ورزشکاران و کسانی که برای اوقات فراغت خود و یا برای رسیدن به اندامی متعادل، ورزش می کنند؛ بسیار با اهمیت است. احساس مطلوب از لباس در زمره خصوصیات راحتی پوشش می باشد. خصوصیات انتقال رطوبت لباس، در ارزیابی راحتی حسی و حرارتی منسوجات تولید شده از آن ها بسیار مهم است. هدف از این تحقیق، معرفی پارچه جدید است که متشکل از الیاف استبرق با خواص منحصر به فرد می باشد. استبرق لیف طبیعی تو...
