  • Starliner Rudolf Spoor Vertregt-Raket Van De Hoofdredacteur
    Starliner Rudolf Spoor Vertregt-raket Van de hoofdredacteur: Ook de NVR ontsnapt niet aan de gevolgen van het Corona- virus: zoals u in de nieuwsbrief heeft kunnen lezen zijn we genoodzaakt geweest de voor maart, april en mei geplande evenementen op te schorten. In de tussentijd zijn online ruimtevaart-gerelateerde initiatieven zeer de moeite waard om te volgen, en in de nieuwsbrief heeft u daar ook een overzicht van kunnen vinden. De redactie heeft zijn best gedaan om ook in deze moeilijke tijden voor u een afwisselend nummer samen te stellen, met onder andere aandacht voor de lancering van de eerste Starliner, een studentenproject waarin een supersone para- Bij de voorplaat chute getest wordt, tests van een prototype maanrover op het DECOS terrein in Noordwijk en een uitgebreide analyse Kunstzinnige weergave van de lancering van de Vertregt-raket vanuit met moderne middelen van het Vertregt raketontwerp uit de Suriname. De vlammen zijn gebaseerd op die van andere raketten jaren ‘50. Dit laatste artikel is geïnspireerd door de biografie met dezelfde stuwstoffen.

Dit artikel is ook daadwerkelijk geselecteerd voor presentatie op de confe- rentie, maar door de onzekerheden rond het Coronavirus is de conferentie helaas een jaar uitgesteld. Ook andere artikelen uit Ruimtevaart worden in vertaalde vorm overgenomen door Engelstalige media. Zo verscheen het artikel van Henk Smid over Iraanse ruimtevaart uit het eerste nummer van dit jaar zelfs in de bekende online publicatie The Space Review.

OVERVIEW Regular, low-cost Decadal-class science missions to planetary destinations enabled by small high-ΔV spacecraft, like the high-energy Photon, support expanding opportunities for scientists and increase the rate of science return. The high-energy Photon can launch on Electron to precisely target escape asymptotes for planetary small spacecraft missions with payload masses up to ~50 kg without the need for a medium or heavy lift launch vehicle. The high-energy Photon can also launch as a secondary payload with even greater payload masses to deep-space science targets. This paper describes planetary mission concepts connected to science objectives that leverage Rocket Lab’s deep space mission approach. The high-energy Photon can access various planetary science targets of interest including the cislunar environment, Small Bodies, Mars, Venus, and the Outer Planets. Additional planetary small spacecraft missions with focused investigations are recommended, including dedicated small spacecraft missions that do not rely on launch as a secondary payload. 2. HIGH-ENERGY PHOTON Figure 1: The high-energy The high-energy Photon (Figure 1) is a self-sufficient small spacecraft Photon enables small planetary capable of long-duration interplanetary cruise. Its power system is science missions, including Venus probe missions. conventional, using photovoltaic solar arrays and lithium-polymer secondary batteries. The attitude control system includes star trackers, sun sensors, an inertial measurement unit, three reaction wheels, and a cold-gas reaction control system (RCS).

  • EART193 Planetary Capstone
    EART193 Planetary Capstone Francis Nimmo Volcanism • Volcanism is an important process on most solar system bodies (either now or in the past) • It gives information on the thermal evolution and interior state of the body • It transports heat, volatiles and radioactive materials from the interior to the surface • Volcanic samples can be accurately dated • Volcanism can influence climate • “Cryovolcanism” can also occur but is less well understood This Week - Interiors • How is melt generated? – What are the heat sources? – How does melt production change over time? • How does it get to the surface? – Density contrasts – Ascent timescale (viscosity) vs. cooling • We will consider conventional (silicate) volcanism and low-temperature cryovolcanism Melting • Only occurs at a single temperature for a pure single-component material. • Most planetary materials are mixtures. Components melt at different temperatures • Solidus: Temperature at which the first melt appears • Liquidus: Temperature at which the last solid crystal disappears Eutectic Phase Diagram Eutectic (Di+An crystallize) Solid Solution Phase diagram Other Effects • Usually have more than two components – Ternary, quaternary diagrams – Computer models (e.g. MELTS) • Pressure – Modifies volume, entropy, melting temperature – Solid-state phase transitions • Volatiles – Water lowers melting temperature – CO2 lowers solubility of water • “Cryo”magmas – At low temperatures, ice behaves like rock – See later Effect of Water on Peridotite melting Clausius-Clapeyron Equation • Melting

  • Star Maps, Earth Codes: an Interdisciplinary Exploration of Art and Astronomy
    STAR MAPS, EARTH CODES: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPLORATION OF ART AND ASTRONOMY By Danni Wei A capstone project submitted for Graduation with University Honors May 5, 2016 University Honors University of California, Riverside APPROVED _______________________________ Dr. Gabriela Canalizo Co-advisor, Dr. Mario De Leo Winkler Department of Physics and Astronomy _______________________________ Asher Hartman Department of Art ________________________________ Dr. Richard Cardullo, Howard H Hays Chair and Faculty Director, University Honors Associate Vice Provost, Undergraduate Education Abstract: The objective of this research-based creative activity is to formulate an experimental play that intersects fields of astronomy and art. My goal, in terms of audience reaction, is to provide: 1. A Sense of Wonder (emotional impact) 2. Opportunity for Involvement (physical impact) and 3. Information (intellectual impact) for my audience. The play acts as a cross-cultural exploratory vehicle, utilized to make connections with the Universe by understanding how sky lore from various ancient civilizations reflect their ways of life. The main inquiry is whether or not I am able to appropriate archaeoastronomical data to create a viable, wondrous artwork for the modern day person to connect with, while conveying scientific information at the same time. By researching peer-reviewed sources in both archaeoastronomy and art, I was able to come across an intersection—a few subjects of interest unbounded by cultures, religions, time, locations, and fields of study. The end result is the birth of a mixed media theatrical experience that envelops the singular Spectator with sky lore of the Orion constellation told across civilizations, animated by abstract puppets, lights, and sounds. The puppet theatre structure, which was stationed at UC Riverside's Phyllis Gill Gallery, was open by appointment only from December 5th to December 9th of 2015.

  • New Horizons Gets a Boost from Jupiter
    New Horizons Gets a Boost From Jupiter — Fran Bagenal, University of Colorado New Horizons Principle Investigator Alan Stern says the objective of the Jupiter fl yby (aside from getting a gravitational boost out to Pluto) is to check out and learn about the spacecraft so that when we get to Pluto we can learn about Pluto and not worry about the spacecraft. Wise words, I will agree, but we are all hoping for some fun science at Jupiter too. We have to remember that New Horizons is tiny compared to Cassini (a piano instead of a school bus), and the instruments are optimized for observing faint, miniscule Pluto out beyond 30 AU, rather than bright, giant Jupiter at 5.2 AU. But with some ingenuity, there should be some excellent images of Jupiter’s clouds, the rings, and the large Galilean moons. New Horizons is carrying several instruments and two cameras: The long-range, telephoto Long Range Reconnaissance Orbiter (LORRI) takes high- resolution images, while Ralph takes images at multiple wavelengths to determine compositions of surface materials. Alice is an ultraviolet spectrometer Lthat is designed to detect Pluto’s tenuous atmosphere via stellar occultation. At Jupiter, Alice will sometimes look at ultraviolet emissions from hot gases (e.g., Jupiter’s aurora), and at other times will look back at the Sun through atmospheric gases to determine composition, pressure, and temperature of upper regions of Jupiter’s atmosphere as well as the tenuous atmospheres of the satellites. The particle detectors, Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) (low The New Horizon spacecraft is on approach to Jupiter, and will energy) and Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer use the giant planet’s gravity to increase speed and reduce the Science Investigation (PEPSSI) (high energy), will time to Pluto.
