  • Characterization of the Stray Light in a Space Borne Atmospheric AOTF Spectrometer
    Characterization of the stray light in a space borne atmospheric AOTF spectrometer Korablev Oleg 1, Fedorova Anna 1, Eric Villard 2,3, Lilian Joly 4, Alexander Kiselev 1, Denis Belyaev 1, Jean-Loup Bertaux 2 1Space Research Institute (IKI), 84/32 Profsoyuznaya, 117997 Moscow, Russia; Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Institutsky dr. 9, 141700 Dolgoprudnyi, Russia 2LATMOS/CNRS, 78280 Guyancourt , France. 3ALMA/European Southern Observatory, Santiago, Chile 4GSMA/CNRS Univ. de Reims, Moulin de la Housse, BP 1039, 51687 Reims, France. [email protected] Abstract : Acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) spectrometers are being criticized for spectral leakage, distant side lobes of their spectral response (SRF) function, or the stray light. SPICAM-IR is the AOTF spectrometer in the range 1000-1700 nm with a resolving power of 1800-2200 operating on the Mars Express interplanetary probe. It is primarily dedicated to measurements of water vapor in the Martian atmosphere. SPICAM H2O retrievals are generally lower than simultaneous measurements with other instruments, the stray light suggested as a likely explanation. We report the results of laboratory measurements of water vapor in quantity characteristic for the Mars atmosphere with the Flight Spare model of SPICAM-IR. The level of the stray light is below 1.3·10 -4, and the accuracy to measure water vapor is ~0.2 pr. µm, mostly determined by measurement uncertainties and the accuracy of the synthetic modeling. We demonstrate that the AOTF spectrometer dependably measures the water abundance and can be employed as an atmospheric spectrometer. References and links 1. N. J. Chanover, D. A.

  • Status After the Venus Flybys
    Acta Astronautica 63 (2008) 68–73 www.elsevier.com/locate/actaastro The MESSENGER mission to Mercury: Status after the Venusflybys Ralph L. McNutt Jr.a,∗, Sean C. Solomonb, David G. Granta, Eric J. Finnegana, Peter D. Bedinia, the MESSENGER Team aThe Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, 11100 Johns Hopkins Road, Laurel, MD 20723, USA bDepartment of Terrestrial Magnetism, Carnegie Institution of Washington, 5241 Broad Branch Road, N.W., Washington, DC 20015, USA Available online 21 April 2008 Abstract NASA’s MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, launched on 3 August 2004, is well into its voyage to initiate a new era in our understanding of the terrestrial planets. The mission, spacecraft, and payload are designed to answer six fundamental questions regarding the innermost planet during three flybys and a one-year-long, near-polar-orbital observational campaign. The cruise phase to date has been used to commission the spacecraft and instruments and begin the transition to automated use of the instruments with on-board, time-tagged commands. An Earth flyby one year after launch, a large propulsive maneuver in December 2005, and Venus flybys in October 2006 and June 2007 began the process of changing MESSENGER’s heliocentric motion. The second Venus flyby was also used to complete final rehearsals for Mercury flyby operations in January 2008 while coordinating observations with the European Space Agency’s Venus Express mission. The upcoming Mercury flyby will be the first since that of Mariner 10 in 1975. Along with the second and third MESSENGER flybys in October 2008 and September 2009, that flyby will provide images of the hemisphere of Mercury never seen before by spacecraft as well as the first high-resolution information on Mercury’s surface mineralogy.

  • Navigation Challenges During Exomars Trace Gas Orbiter Aerobraking Campaign
    NON-PEER REVIEW Please select category below: Normal Paper Student Paper Young Engineer Paper Navigation Challenges during ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter Aerobraking Campaign Gabriele Bellei 1, Francesco Castellini 2, Frank Budnik 3 and Robert Guilanyà Jané 4 1 DEIMOS Space located at ESA/ESOC, Robert-Bosch-Str. 5, Darmstadt, 64293, Germany 2 Telespazio VEGA located at ESA/ESOC, Robert-Bosch-Str. 5, Darmstadt, 64293, Germany 3 ESA/ESOC, Robert-Bosch-Str. 5, Darmstadt, 64293, Germany 4 GMV INSYEN located at ESA/ESOC, Robert-Bosch-Str. 5, Darmstadt, 64293, Germany Abstract The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter satellite spent one year in aerobraking operations at Mars, lowering its orbit period from one sol to about two hours. This delicate phase challenged the operations team and in particular the navigation system due to the highly unpredictable Mars atmosphere, which imposed almost continuous monitoring, navigation and re-planning activities. An aerobraking navigation concept was, for the first time at ESA, designed, implemented and validated on-ground and in-flight, based on radiometric tracking data and complemented by information extracted from spacecraft telemetry. The aerobraking operations were successfully completed, on time and without major difficulties, thanks to the simplicity and robustness of the selected approach. This paper describes the navigation concept, presents a recollection of the main in-flight results and gives a retrospective of the main lessons learnt during this activity. Keywords: ExoMars, Trace Gas Orbiter, aerobraking, navigation, orbit determination, Mars atmosphere, accelerometer Introduction The ExoMars program is a cooperation between the European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos for the robotic exploration of the red planet.

    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.

Abstract: In light of future missions beyond low Earth orbit (LEO) and the potential establishment of bases on the Moon and Mars, the effects of the deep space environment on biology need to be examined in order to develop protective countermeasures. Although many biological experiments have been performed in space since the 1960s, most have occurred in LEO and for only short periods of time. These LEO missions have studied many biological phenomena in a variety of model organisms, and have utilized a broad range of technologies.
