Novel material thin-film solar cells are promising alternatives to conventional for future space applications. Previous terrestrial investigations have shown stability under simulated conditions, pioneering the next step test these conditions. Here, we present sounding rocket experiment OHSCIS characterize electronic behavior of Organic and Hybrid Solar Cells In Space (OHSCIS). The mechanical d...

This work investigates the application of Gaussian processes to capturing the probability distribution of a set of aircraft trajectories from historical measurement data. To achieve this, all data are assumed to be generated from a probabilistic model that takes the shape of a Gaussian process. The approach to Gaussian process modelling used here is based on a linear expansion of trajectory dat...

The aim of this study was to analyze the time course of the behavioral adaptation to diminished gravity aboard a texus sounding rockrt in correlation with the calcification status of inner ear otoliths. Experimental animals were fish-larvae (Oreochromis mossambicus). The adaptation to the two applied levels of low gravity between 10 -4 g (platform zero-g of the rocket) and 4x10 2 g (diminished ...

Langmuir probes have been installed on satellites and sounding rockets to observe the general characteristics of thermal plasma in the ionosphere for more than five decades. Because of its simplicity and convenience, the Langmuir probe is one of the most frequently installed scientific instruments on spacecraft. While the algorithm to estimate the temperature and number density of thermal elect...
