NASA SP-7051 (Suppl 3) NASA THESAURUS SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 1985 A three part cumulative supplement to the 1982 edition of the NASA Thesaurus NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration Scientific and Technical Information Branch 1985 INTRODUCTION The NASA Thesaurus Supplement replaces the former 6-Month Cumulative Listing of the NASA Thesaurus Changes. This cumulative supplement to the NASA Thesaurus 1982 edition, incorporates all of the information normally contained in the previous publication as well as two new features: complete hierarchies and access vocabulary. It is hoped that the additional information and the improved legibility will make this a more useful product than its predecessor. Subsequent issues of the supplement will be cumulative and will be issued every six months. For detailed information on the use of the NASA Thesaurus Supplement, consult the front matter of the NASA Thesaurus 1982 edition. Users are encouraged to consult the online NASA Thesaurus for the most complete and up-to- date information. Addenda to old hierarchies in the 1982 edition of the NASA Thesaurus are not given because they are readily found in the online NASA Thesaurus. Inclusion of such a feature would have substantially increased the size of the publication. In using the hierarchies in the online NASA Thesaurus, users are cautioned that these hierarchies list broad and narrow terms and not their interrelationships. The online NASA Thesaurus does not show the exact relationship when there are more than three broad and/or narrow terms. New terms to this issue are indicated with a bullet and larger type Designed for browsability, each new term appears in the format of the following example: • Earthnet Many times cross references are later made postable terms. These are shown in Part 3. When new cross references are added to older terms, the term that is referred to is not listed unless it is also a new term. For older terms check the printed or the online NASA Thesaurus. Any comments or suggestions about this publication, including suggestions for new terms, should be directed to the Lexicographer, NASA Scientific and Technical Information Facility, P.O. Box 8757, BWI Airport, Maryland 21240. TABLE OF CONTENTS PART1 HIERARCHICAL LISTING A listing of new NASA Thesaurus terms and their hierarchies supplementing the NASA Thesaurus Hierarchical Listing. PART 2 ACCESS VOCABULARY A permuted list of new NASA Thesaurus terms supplementing the NASA Thesaurus Access Vocabulary.

Nicklas © Smithsonian Institution, 2003 NASM Archives Desind Collection 1997-0014 Herbert Stephen Desind Collection 109 Cubic Feet, 305 Boxes Biographical Note Herbert Stephen Desind was a Washington, DC area native born on January 15, 1945, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and educated at the University of Maryland. He obtained his BA degree in Communications at Maryland in 1967, and began working in the local public schools as a science teacher. At the time of his death, in October 1992, he was a high school teacher and a freelance writer/lecturer on spaceflight. Desind also was an avid model rocketeer, specializing in using the Estes Cineroc, a model rocket with an 8mm movie camera mounted in the nose. To many members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), he was known as “Mr. Cineroc.” His extensive requests worldwide for information and photographs of rocketry programs even led to a visit from FBI agents who asked him about the nature of his activities. Mr. Desind used the collection to support his writings in NAR publications, and his building scale model rockets for NAR competitions. Desind also used the material in the classroom, and in promoting model rocket clubs to foster an interest in spaceflight among his students. Desind entered the NASA Teacher in Space program in 1985, but it is not clear how far along his submission rose in the selection process. He was not a semi-finalist, although he had a strong application.

Esta es una relación cronológica de todos los lanzamientos de satélites artificiales de nuestro planeta, con independencia de su éxito o fracaso, tanto en el disparo como en órbita. Significa pues que muchos de ellos no han alcanzado el espacio y fueron destruidos. Se señala en primer lugar (a la izquierda) su nombre, seguido de la fecha del lanzamiento, el país al que pertenece el satélite (que puede ser otro distinto al que lo lanza) y el tipo de satélite; este último aspecto podría no corresponderse en exactitud dado que algunos son de finalidad múltiple. En los lanzamientos múltiples, cada satélite figura separado (salvo en los casos de fracaso, en que no llegan a separarse) pero naturalmente en la misma fecha y juntos.

  • Low-Thrust Many-Revolution Trajectory Optimization
    Low-Thrust Many-Revolution Trajectory Optimization by Jonathan David Aziz B.S., Aerospace Engineering, Syracuse University, 2013 M.S., Aerospace Engineering Sciences, University of Colorado, 2015 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences 2018 This thesis entitled: Low-Thrust Many-Revolution Trajectory Optimization written by Jonathan David Aziz has been approved for the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences Daniel J. Scheeres Jeffrey S. Parker Jacob A. Englander Jay W. McMahon Shalom D. Ruben Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. iii Aziz, Jonathan David (Ph.D., Aerospace Engineering Sciences) Low-Thrust Many-Revolution Trajectory Optimization Thesis directed by Professor Daniel J. Scheeres This dissertation presents a method for optimizing the trajectories of spacecraft that use low- thrust propulsion to maneuver through high counts of orbital revolutions. The proposed method is to discretize the trajectory and control schedule with respect to an orbit anomaly and perform the optimization with differential dynamic programming (DDP). The change of variable from time to orbit anomaly is accomplished by a Sundman transformation to the spacecraft equations of motion. Sundman transformations to each of the true, mean and eccentric anomalies are leveraged for fuel-optimal geocentric transfers up to 2000 revolutions. The approach is shown to be amenable to the inclusion of perturbations in the dynamic model, specifically aspherical gravity and third- body perturbations, and is improved upon through the use of modified equinoctial elements.

  • 5 Orbit and Ground Track of a Satellite
    5 Orbit and Ground Track of a Satellite 5.1 Position of the Satellite on its Orbit Let (O; x, y, z) be the Galilean reference frame already defined. The satellite S is in an elliptical orbit around the centre of attraction O. The orbital plane P makes a constant angle i with the equatorial plane E. However, although this plane P is considered as fixed relative to in the Keplerian motion, in a real (perturbed) motion, it will in fact rotate about the polar axis. This is precessional motion,1 occurring with angular speed Ω˙ , as calculated in the last two chapters. A schematic representation of this motion is given in Fig. 5.1. We shall describe the position of S in using the Euler angles. 5.1.1 Position of the Satellite The three Euler angles ψ, θ and χ were introduced in Sect. 2.3.2 to specify the orbit and its perigee in space. In the present case, we wish to specify S. We obtain the correspondence between the Euler angles and the orbital elements using Fig. 2.1: ψ = Ω, (5.1) θ = i, (5.2) χ = ω + v. (5.3) Although they are fixed for the Keplerian orbit, the angles Ω, ω and M − nt vary in time for a real orbit. The inclination i remains constant, however. The distance from S to the centre of attraction O is given by (1.41), expressed in terms of the true anomaly v : a(1 − e2) r = . (5.4) 1+e cos v 1 The word ‘precession’, meaning ‘the action of preceding’, was coined by Coper- nicus around 1530 (præcessio in Latin) to speak about the precession of the equinoxes, i.e., the retrograde motion of the equinoctial points.

I am pleased to transmit to the Congress this report on the space and aeronautics activities of ow Government in the past 12 months. As I do so, I again salute the thousands of men and women whose devotion and skill over many years have made our recent successes possible. This report tells the remarkable and now familiar story of man’s first and second landings on the Moon. It recounts, too, the exciting Mariner voyage which took the first closeup photographs of the planet Mars. But it also discusses the space triumphs of 1969 which were less well-publicized, successes which also have great significance. It tells, for example, of the progress made in our communications satellite, weather satellite and Earth resources satellite programs. It discusses the scien’tific and military implications of all our recent advances.
