These conferences have brought together engineers and scientists of diverse disciplines with the common interests of space simulation, its applications and solutions of complex problems that are encountered. This conference was favored with a wide variety of papers concerning facilities, testing and contamination control. Our featured speaker was Francis J. Logan, Deputy Project Manager, Solar Maximum Repair Mission, who spoke of the problems and successes of retrieving and repairing an orbiting spacecraft utilizing the Shuttle. This endeavor was a historic first for the space program. The meeting was concluded with a trip to the Kennedy Space Center to see the Shuttle complex and other points of interest. I wish to acknowledge the splendid effort of the many people who made this meeting successful. Robert P. Parrish, Jr., Martin Marietta Corp., Technical Program Chairman and his committee gave us a well rounded, informative program; Joseph L. Stecher, NASA GSFC, as Publications Chairman assembled these proceedings; John D. Campbell, Perkin Elmer Corp., was extremely helpful in his capacity as the IES Meeting Manager; and Betty Peterson, IES Executive Director, and Janet A.

  • 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.

  • Monte Carlo Methods to Calculate Impact Probabilities⋆

Unraveling the events that took place in the solar system during the period known as the late heavy bombardment requires the interpretation of the cratered surfaces of the Moon and terrestrial planets. This, in turn, requires good estimates of the statistical impact probabilities for different source populations of projectiles, a subject that has received relatively little attention, since the works of Öpik(1951, Proc. R. Irish Acad. Sect. A, 54, 165) and Wetherill(1967, J. Geophys. Res., 72, 2429). Aims. We aim to work around the limitations of the Öpik and Wetherill formulae, which are caused by singularities due to zero denominators under special circumstances. Using modern computers, it is possible to make good estimates of impact probabilities by means of Monte Carlo simulations, and in this work, we explore the available options. Methods. We describe three basic methods to derive the average impact probability for a projectile with a given semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination with respect to a target planet on an elliptic orbit.

Therefore, by measuring S, information regarding the conditions of a magma can be acquired. The aim of this work is to investigate what S can tell us about the behaviour of late-stage lunar basaltic magmas. An analytical protocol was developed to simultaneously measure S and Cl abundances and isotopes of lunar apatite in eleven lunar basalts with nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS).

  • Can Moons Have Moons?
    A MNRAS 000, 1–?? (2018) Preprint 23 January 2019 Compiled using MNRAS L TEX style file v3.0 Can Moons Have Moons? Juna A. Kollmeier1⋆ & Sean N. Raymond2† 1 Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, 813 Santa Barbara St., Pasadena, CA 91101 2 Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux, Univ. Bordeaux, CNRS, B18N, all´eGeoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 33615 Pessac, France Accepted XXX. Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT Each of the giant planets within the Solar System has large moons but none of these moons have their own moons (which we call submoons). By analogy with studies of moons around short-period exoplanets, we investigate the tidal-dynamical stability of submoons. We find that 10 km-scale submoons can only survive around large (1000 km-scale) moons on wide-separation orbits. Tidal dissipation destabilizes the orbits of submoons around moons that are small or too close to their host planet; this is the case for most of the Solar System’s moons. A handful of known moons are, however, capable of hosting long-lived submoons: Saturn’s moons Titan and Iapetus, Jupiter’s moon Callisto, and Earth’s Moon. Based on its inferred mass and orbital separation, the newly-discovered exomoon candidate Kepler-1625b-I can in principle host a large submoon, although its stability depends on a number of unknown parameters. We discuss the possible habitability of submoons and the potential for subsubmoons. The existence, or lack thereof, of submoons, may yield important constraints on satellite formation and evolution in planetary systems. Key words: planets and satellites – exoplanets – tides 1 INTRODUCTION the planet spins quickly or to shrink if the planet spins slowly (e.g.

  • Constraints on the Habitability of Extrasolar Moons 3 ¯Glob Its Orbit-Averaged Global Energy flux Fs
    Formation, detection, and characterization of extrasolar habitable planets Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 293, 2012 c 2012 International Astronomical Union Nader Haghighipour DOI: 00.0000/X000000000000000X Constraints on the habitability of extrasolar moons Ren´eHeller1 and Rory Barnes2,3 1Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam email: [email protected] 2University of Washington, Dept. of Astronomy, Seattle, WA 98195, USA 3Virtual Planetary Laboratory, NASA, USA email: [email protected] Abstract. Detections of massive extrasolar moons are shown feasible with the Kepler space telescope. Kepler’s findings of about 50 exoplanets in the stellar habitable zone naturally make us wonder about the habitability of their hypothetical moons. Illumination from the planet, eclipses, tidal heating, and tidal locking distinguish remote characterization of exomoons from that of exoplanets. We show how evaluation of an exomoon’s habitability is possible based on the parameters accessible by current and near-future technology. Keywords. celestial mechanics – planets and satellites: general – astrobiology – eclipses 1. Introduction The possible discovery of inhabited exoplanets has motivated considerable efforts towards estimating planetary habitability. Effects of stellar radiation (Kasting et al. 1993; Selsis et al. 2007), planetary spin (Williams & Kasting 1997; Spiegel et al. 2009), tidal evolution (Jackson et al. 2008; Barnes et al. 2009; Heller et al. 2011), and composition (Raymond et al. 2006; Bond et al. 2010) have been studied. Meanwhile, Kepler’s high precision has opened the possibility of detecting extrasolar moons (Kipping et al. 2009; Tusnski & Valio 2011) and the first dedicated searches for moons in the Kepler data are underway (Kipping et al.
