В отчете представлены промежуточные результаты по запланированным направлениям работ в рамках проекта. Отчет разбит на семь глав. Первая глава отчета посвящена проблеме, касающейся навигации космического аппарата с помощью измерительных средств, имеющихся на борту. Имеются в виду оптические приборы, используемые в стандартном режиме как датчики ориентации аппарата. Известно, что во многих космических миссиях эти приборы применялись также в качестве источников информации для определения орбитальных параметров полета. Во второй главе отчета дается краткое описание математического аппарата, разработанного для расчетов и оптимизации орбит перелета к астероидам, представляющим практически полный список околоземных астероидов. При этом значительное внимание уделяется решению проблемы обширности этого списка. Разработанный комплекс программ позволяет проводить оптимизацию по сумме скоростей отлета от Земли и подлета к астероиду. В данном отчете публикуются результаты расчетов, выполненных с помощью упомянутого комплекса. В приводимых таблицах приводятся гиперболические скорости отлета, а также даты отлета и прилета для интервала старта вплоть до 2030 года. Значительная часть исследований была посвящена вопросам исследования траекторий перелетов к планетам и астероидам с использованием гравитационных маневров у планет с выходом на орбиту около планет, используемых для гравитационного

  • Basic Astronomy Labs
    Astronomy Laboratory Exercise 31 The Magnitude Scale On a dark, clear night far from city lights, the unaided human eye can see on the order of five thousand stars. Some stars are bright, others are barely visible, and still others fall somewhere in between. A telescope reveals hundreds of thousands of stars that are too dim for the unaided eye to see. Most stars appear white to the unaided eye, whose cells for detecting color require more light. But the telescope reveals that stars come in a wide palette of colors. This lab explores the modern magnitude scale as a means of describing the brightness, the distance, and the color of a star. The earliest recorded brightness scale was developed by Hipparchus, a natural philosopher of the second century BCE. He ranked stars into six magnitudes according to brightness. The brightest stars were first magnitude, the second brightest stars were second magnitude, and so on until the dimmest stars he could see, which were sixth magnitude. Modern measurements show that the difference between first and sixth magnitude represents a brightness ratio of 100. That is, a first magnitude star is about 100 times brighter than a sixth magnitude star. Thus, each magnitude is 100115 (or about 2. 512) times brighter than the next larger, integral magnitude. Hipparchus' scale only allows integral magnitudes and does not allow for stars outside this range. With the invention of the telescope, it became obvious that a scale was needed to describe dimmer stars. Also, the scale should be able to describe brighter objects, such as some planets, the Moon, and the Sun.

    2014 in Review The Year in Prophecy Ron Graff 1 Copyright © 2015 by Ron Graff Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Prophecy Central 8166 Vinmar Court Alta Loma, CA, 91701 2 Dedicated to: This Year’s Million-Plus Visitors to Prophecy Central Preface Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, ―When it is evening you say, ‗It will be fair weather, for the sky is red‘; 3 and in the morning, ‗It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.‘ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. – Matthew 16:1-3 Jesus expected the spiritual leaders of His generation to know the prophecies and recognize that He was the Messiah. They should have realized that He was fulfilling those predictions. Most of those Pharisees and Sadducees never did recognize the truth about Him. It is the same way today. It’s time for Christians to recognize the signs of the times and do what they can to lead others to Christ while there is still an opportunity! This book is a summary of major developments during 2014 that are of interest to prophecy students. Most of the information in this report has come from news stories and quotations from the daily updates on the Prophecy Central1 3 web site. There are more than one hundred different sections on the site that deal with the various topics that we cover.

  • At Least Three Asteroids Buzzed by Earth in February
    At least three asteroids buzzed by Earth in February. February was a big month for scientists who study objects in space. Three asteroids flew relatively close to Earth in February. The closest one flew by on February 20th and it came within a million miles of Earth. A million miles might seem like a long ways away, but that’s close enough for astronomers to call these asteroids “near Earth objects.” An asteroid is basically a chunk of rock smaller than a planet, which orbits the Sun. Aster- oid 2000 EM26, which flew by on February 17th, is about the size of three football fields. Asteroid 2006 DP14 flew by on February 10th, and was even bigger; it was about the size of eight football fields. Asteroid 2014 BR57, which flew by on February 20th, is smaller, only about 60 yards across, but it came closest to Earth. Sometimes an asteroid’s orbit brings it into Earth’s atmosphere. From there, gravity takes over, and causes the asteroid to fall. Luckily, these asteroids usually burn up before they hit Earth. Sometimes a chunk of a large asteroid breaks off and enters the atmosphere. These are called meteoroids. When a meteoroid doesn’t burn up completely and some of it hits Earth, it is called a meteorite. A year ago in February, a meteorite about the size of a house exploded in the atmosphere over Russia. Some pieces of it hit the ground, and more than 1,000 people were injured, but mostly from windows that broke because of the explosion.

Making use of recently-proven reusable rockets, we envision a fleet of spacecraft capable of reaching Near-Earth asteroids. To analyze this idea, the goal of this problem is to maximize the asteroid mass retrieved within a spacecraft max life span. Explicitly, the maximum lifetime of the spacecraft fleet is set at 30 years. A fuel supply-chain is proposed and designed so that each spacecraft is refueled before departing for each asteroid. To maximize access to the number of asteroids and retrievable mass for each mission, we propose launching each mission from an orbit with low escape velocity. The L2-Halo orbit at the libration point in the Earth-Moon system was selected due to its easy access from Low-Earth Orbit and for a cislunar synergy with NASA Gateway. Using data from NASA SmallBody and CNEOS databases, we investigated NEAs in the period between 2030 and 2060 could be captured in the ecliptic plane and returned to L2-Halo with two approaches, MARM-1 and MARM- 2.

Using heights at peak luminosity as a proxy for strength, we determine that there is roughly an order of magnitude spread in strengths of the population of meter-scale impactors at the Earth. We use fireballs producing recovered meteorites and well documented fireballs from ground-based camera networks to calibrate our ablation model interpretation of the observed peak height of luminosity as a function of speed. The orbits and physical strength of these objects are consistent with the majority being asteroidal bodies originating from the inner main asteroid belt.
