INTRODUCTION A Resource Book of Aerospace Activities,was written to help teacherTiaiFiteaerospace content with the regular learning experiences in the classroom. The activities contained in this volume are grouped by subject headingsas follows: Development of Fight, Pioneers of the Air (biography), ArtificialSatellites and Space Probes; Manned Space Flight, The Vastness ofSpace, and Future Space Ventures. Poetry related to flight andspace travel is contained in Appendix A. The individual activities in theseareas contain suggestions for bringing aerospace concepts into languagearts, mathematics, physical education, social studies, andmany other sub- jects. A teacher using these activities will findmany suggestions for sparking children's interest in everyday learningtasks. A routine arithmetic drill, for instance, might capture the pupils'imagination if it concerns some of the mathematical problemsof space travel. Interest in creative writing might be sparked by havingchildren write about space travel or about whatwe might discover on the other planets. Using the universe or space travelas a theme might help inspire artistic creativity in children. Each activity is accompanied by lists of mediaappropriate to the subject. Books, pamphlets, films, filmstrips, magazinearticles, charts and models are included in these lists. Grade levels for which these materials are most suitable are indicated by the followingcode: p (primary, K-3);j (intermediate, 4-6); ane t (teacher--includes junior high, senior high and adult). The material can be adapted foruse in all of the elementary grades to stimulate students' interest in and understandingof the scientific and social advancements being made by mankindas a result of aerospace research and development.

  • The Surrender Software
    Scientific image rendering for space scenes with the SurRender software Scientific image rendering for space scenes with the SurRender software R. Brochard, J. Lebreton*, C. Robin, K. Kanani, G. Jonniaux, A. Masson, N. Despré, A. Berjaoui Airbus Defence and Space, 31 rue des Cosmonautes, 31402 Toulouse Cedex, France [email protected] *Corresponding Author Abstract The autonomy of spacecrafts can advantageously be enhanced by vision-based navigation (VBN) techniques. Applications range from manoeuvers around Solar System objects and landing on planetary surfaces, to in -orbit servicing or space debris removal, and even ground imaging. The development and validation of VBN algorithms for space exploration missions relies on the availability of physically accurate relevant images. Yet archival data from past missions can rarely serve this purpose and acquiring new data is often costly. Airbus has developed the image rendering software SurRender, which addresses the specific challenges of realistic image simulation with high level of representativeness for space scenes. In this paper we introduce the software SurRender and how its unique capabilities have proved successful for a variety of applications. Images are rendered by raytracing, which implements the physical principles of geometrical light propagation. Images are rendered in physical units using a macroscopic instrument model and scene objects reflectance functions. It is specially optimized for space scenes, with huge distances between objects and scenes up to Solar System size. Raytracing conveniently tackles some important effects for VBN algorithms: image quality, eclipses, secondary illumination, subpixel limb imaging, etc. From a user standpoint, a simulation is easily setup using the available interfaces (MATLAB/Simulink, Python, and more) by specifying the position of the bodies (Sun, planets, satellites, …) over time, complex 3D shapes and material surface properties, before positioning the camera.

  • 1 Practical Rendezvous Scenario For
    PRACTICAL RENDEZVOUS SCENARIO FOR TRANSPORTATION MISSIONS TO CIS-LUNAR STATION IN EARTH–MOON L2 HALO ORBIT Naomi Murakami(1), Satoshi Ueda(1), Toshinori Ikenaga(1), Maki Maeda(1), Toru Yamamoto(1), and Hitoshi Ikeda(1) (1)Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, 2-1-1 Sengen, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-8505, Japan (1)+81-50-3362-3725, [email protected] Abstract: Plans to establish a new international space station in the vicinity of the Moon have drawn attention as a potential gateway for future missions. Assuming that such a station will be constructed, various rendezvous missions will be performed, including logistics flight and crew transportation missions. In the low Earth orbit (LEO), many logistics flight missions have been performed, such as the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) and the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) missions for the International Space Station (ISS), and rendezvous operation technology has been well established. However, in cis-lunar orbits, the dynamics of relative motion are different from those in LEOs, and the GPS- based navigation scheme, which is the key navigation method in LEO rendezvous missions, cannot be applied. Hence, a different type of rendezvous scheme is necessary for application to rendezvous missions in cis-lunar orbits. In this study, we suggest a practical rendezvous scenario for logistics flight missions to the future cis-lunar space station in the Earth–Moon L2 halo orbit and clarify the problems and requirements regarding guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) for cis-lunar rendezvous. Keywords: Rendezvous, Cis-lunar station, Earth–Moon L2 halo, GN&C. 1.

  • Lunar Meteorites: Impact Melt and Regolith Breccias and Large-Scale Heterogeneities of the Upper Lunar Crust
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 40, Nr 7, 989–1014 (2005) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org “New” lunar meteorites: Impact melt and regolith breccias and large-scale heterogeneities of the upper lunar crust Paul H. WARREN*, Finn ULFF-MØLLER, and Gregory W. KALLEMEYN Institute of Geophysics, University of California—Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90095–1567, USA *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 06 May 2002; revision accepted 24 April 2005) Abstract–We have analyzed nine highland lunar meteorites (lunaites) using mainly INAA. Several of these rocks are difficult to classify. Dhofar 081 is basically a fragmental breccia, but much of its groundmass features a glassy-fluidized texture that is indicative of localized shock melting. Also, much of the matrix glass is swirly-brown, suggesting a possible regolith derivation. We interpret Dar al Gani (DaG) 400 as an extremely immature regolith breccia consisting mainly of impact-melt breccia clasts; we interpret Dhofar 026 as an unusually complex anorthositic impact-melt breccia with scattered ovoid globules that formed as clasts of mafic, subophitic impact melt. The presence of mafic crystalline globules in a lunar material, even one so clearly impact-heated, suggests that it may have originated as a regolith. Our new data and a synthesis of literature data suggest a contrast in Al2O3- incompatible element systematics between impact melts from the central nearside highlands, where Apollo sampling occurred, and those from the general highland surface of the Moon. Impact melts from the general highland surface tend to have systematically lower incompatible element concentration at any given Al2O3 concentration than those from Apollo 16.
