The Multi-Moon Orbiter concept is introduced, wherein a single spacecraft orbits several moons of Jupiter, allowing long duration observations. The ∆V requirements for this mission can be low if ballistic captures and resonant gravity assists by Jupiter’s moons are used. For example, using only 22 m/s, a spacecraft initially injected in a jovian orbit can be directed into a capture orbit around...

The dynamics of Saturn’s F ring have been a matter of curiosity ever since Voyagers 1 and 2 sent back pictures of the ring’s unusual features. Some of these images showed three distinct ringlets with the outer two displaying a kinked and braided appearance. Many models have been proposed to explain the braiding seen in these images; most of these invoke perturbations caused by the shepherding m...

Tomato is sensitive to a number of environmental stresses, especially extreme temperature, drought, salinity and inadequate moisture stresses (Kalloo, 1993). In Bangladesh, lack of irrigation and drought resistant cultivars are the central problems for tomato cultivation. In the dry season with high temperature, flower abortion occurs and fruits drop frequently, which causes very poor yield of ...
