Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space
SALYUT: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space December 1983 NTIS order #PB84-181437 Recommended Citation: SALYUT: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space–A Technical Mere- orandum (Washington, D. C.: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, OTA- TM-STI-14, December 1983). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 83-600624 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 Foreword As the other major spacefaring nation, the Soviet Union is a subject of interest to the American people and Congress in their deliberations concerning the future of U.S. space activities. In the course of an assessment of Civilian Space Stations, the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) has undertaken a study of the presence of Soviets in space and their Salyut space stations, in order to provide Congress with an informed view of Soviet capabilities and intentions. The major element in this technical memorandum was a workshop held at OTA in December 1982: it was the first occasion when a significant number of experts in this area of Soviet space activities had met for extended unclassified discussion. As a result of the workshop, OTA prepared this technical memorandum, “Salyut: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space. ” It has been reviewed extensively by workshop participants and others familiar with Soviet space activities. Also in December 1982, OTA wrote to the U. S. S. R.’s Ambassador to the United States Anatoliy Dobrynin, requesting any information concerning present and future Soviet space activities that the Soviet Union judged could be of value to the OTA assess- ment of civilian space stations. -

Stern Laboratory for Extraterrestrial Physiscs Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. Solar Terrestrial Division Office of Space Sciences National Aeronautics and Space Administration "Perhaps the strongest area that we face now is the area of solar terrestrial interaction research, where we are still investigating it in a basic science sense: Clow doe the Sun work? What are all these cycles about? What do they have to .Jo with the Sun's magnetic field? Is the Sun a dynamo? What is happening to drive it in an energetic way? Why is it a, variable star to the extent to which it is variable, which is not very much, but enough to be troublesome to us? And what does all that mean in terms of structure? How does the Sun's radiation, either in a photon sense or a particle sense, the solar wind, affect the environment of the Earth, and does it have anything to do with the dynamics of the atmosphere? We have conic at that over centuries, in a sense, as a scientific problem, and we are working it as part of space science, and thinking of a sequence of missions in terms of space science. -
Initial Survey of the Wave Distribution Functions for Plasmaspheric Hiss
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 96, NO. All, PAGES 19,469-19,489, NOVEMBER 1, 1991 InitialSurvey of the Wave Distribution Functions for PlasmasphericHiss Observedby ISEE I L. R. O. S•o•s¾, • F . Lsrsvvgs, 2 M . PARROT,2 L . CAm6, • AND R. R. ANDERSON4 MulticomponentELF/VLF wavedata from the ISEE 1 satellitehave been analyzed with the aim of identifying the generationmechanism of plasmaspherichiss, and especiallyof determining whether it involveswave propagationon cyclictrajectories. The data were taken from four passes of the satellite, of which two were close to the geomagneticequatorial plane and two were farther from it; all four occurred during magnetically quiet periods. The principal method of analysis was calculation of the wave distribution functions. The waves appear to have been generated over a wide range of altitudes within the plasmasphere,and most, though not all, of them were propagating obliquely with respect to the Earth's magnetic field. On one of the passes near the equator, some wave energy was observed at small wave normal angles, and these waves may have been propagating on cyclic trajectories. Even here, however, obliquely propagating waves werepredominant, a finding that is difficultto reconcilewith the classicalquasi-linear generation mech•sm or its variants. The conclusion is that another mechanism, probably nonlinear, must have been generating most of the hiss observedon these four passes. 1.

The International Space Science Institute
— E— Glossaries and Acronyms E.1 Glossary of Metrology This section is intended to provide the readers with the definitions of certain terms often used in the calibration of instruments. The definitions were taken from the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute (http://www.sp.se/metrology/eng/ terminology.htm), the Guide to the Measurement of Pressure and Vacuum, National Physics Laboratory and Institute of Measurement & Control, London, 1998 and VIM, International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology, 2nd Ed., ISO, Geneva, 1993. Accuracy The closeness of the agreement between a test result and the accepted reference value [ISO 5725]. See also precision and trueness. Adjustment Operation of bringing a measuring instrument into a state of performance suitable for its use. Bias The difference between the expectation of the test results and an accepted reference value [ISO 5725]. Calibration A set of operations that establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values of quantities indicated by a measuring instrument (or values repre- sented by a material measure) and the corresponding values realized by standards. The result of a calibration may be recorded in a document, e.g. a calibration certifi- cate. The result can be expressed as corrections with respect to the indications of the instrument. Calibration in itself does not necessarily mean that an instrument is performing in accordance with its specification. Certification A process performed by a third party that confirms that a defined product, process or service conforms with, for example, a standard. Confirmation Metrological confirmation is a set of operations required to ensure that an item of measuring equipment is in a state of compliance with requirements for its intended use. -

The Voskhod 2 spacecraft was a Vostok spacecraft with a backup, solid fuel retrorocket, attached atop the descent module. The ejection seat was removed and two seats were added, (at a 90-degree angle relative to the Vostok crew seats position). An inflatable exterior airlock was also added to the descent module opposite the entry hatch. -
