Radio tracking of the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has revealed temporal changes in the long-wavelength gravity field of Mars that correlate, to first order, with the pattern expected for the seasonal redistribution of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and surface. Detecting these gravity field changes requires isolating very small perturbations in the velocity of the spacecraft and estimating the very low degree zonal coefficients of the field. A comparison of these coefficients...

Support was extended to the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) which detects sources by looking for time variability, either intrinsic to a source (such as gamma ray bursts or pulsars) or induced by earth occultation. The support was in the form of testing, calibration, and data analysis software developments. The BATSE Spectral Analysis Software (BSAS) was successfully developed. An effort was led to develop matrices suitable for use with the BSAS spectral deconvolution algorithms.

There are several problems that limit the availability of modern-type helicopters that the German Army has been acquiring during the last ten years, including inspection policies, reliability, spare parts availability, and the number of personnel devoted to aircraft maintenance. The goal of this thesis is to identify factors that could lead to measurable improvement in operational availability and flight-hour supply of the German Army helicopter fleet. This research uses statistical analysis of...

With the launch of NASA's first fiber optic bus on SAMPEX in 1992, GSFC has ushered in an era of new technology development and insertion into flight programs. Predating such programs the Lewis and Clark missions and the New Millenium Program, GSFC has spearheaded the drive to use cutting edge technologies on spacecraft for three reasons: to enable next generation Space and Earth Science, to shorten spacecraft development schedules, and to reduce the cost of NASA missions. The technologies...

The work performed under this proposal is based on the experimentally supported observation - or inference - that a small fraction of the oxygen anions in silicate minerals in igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks on Earth may not be in the usual 2- oxidation state, O(sup 2-), but in a higher oxidation state, as O(sup -). If this is true, the same would likely apply to the fine dust that fills the diffuse interstellar medium. An (sup -) in a matrix of O(sup 2-) represents a defect electron...

An approach to digital control system design is applied to the analysis and design of a practical onboard digital attitude control system for a class of spinning vehicles characterized by a rigid body and two connected flexible appendages. The approach used is to design a continuous-data control system that will provide a satisfactory system response. Then, using the digital redesign method, a digital controller with onboard digital computer is designed to provide a digital control system whose...

Grazing flow and oscillatory flow in an orifice were studied in a plexiglass flow channel with a single side branch Helmholtz resonator using water as the fluid medium. An oscillatory flow was applied to the resonatory cavity, and color dyes were injected in both the orifice and the grazing flow field to record the motion of the fluid. The flow regimes associated with linear and nonlinear (high sound pressure level) impedances with and without grazing flows were recorded by a high-speed...

In analogy to 4-(para-substituted benzoyl)-N-methylpyridinium cations (1-X's), the title species (2-X's, -X = -OCH3, -CH3, -H, -Br, -COCH3, -NO2) undergo two reversible, well-separated (E(sub 1/2) greater than or equal to 650 mV) one-electron reductions. The effect of substitution on the reduction potentials of 2-X's is much weaker than the effect of the same substituents on 1-X's: the Hammett rho-values are 0.80 and 0.93 for the 1st- and 2nd-e reduction of 2-X's vs. 2.3 and 3.3 for the same...

The reliability analysis takes into account both the changes of hydraulic variables such as water level and wave height due to climate change and the deterioration of structural capacities such as crest freeboard loss and soil seepage length degradation over time.

A solar sailing mission architecture, which requires a t least ten 160-m, 300-kg solar sail spacecraft with a characteristic acceleration of 0.5 mm/sqs, is proposed as a realistic near- term option for mitigating the threat posed by near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). Its mission feasibility is demonstrated for a fictional asteroid mitigation problem created by AIAA. This problem assumes that a 200-m asteroid, designated 2004WR, was detected on July 4, 2004, and that the expected impact will occur on...

We evaluate data quality issues present in Marine Corps maintenance records and develop statistical models to identify the most influential predictor variables to estimate the expected number of failures that cause a vehicle to be non-operational. When a vehicle becomes non-operational, we refer to it as a deadlining event. We analyze data collected from 3,154 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) vehicles between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013. Data quality issues are present in...

Sketchy planners are designed to achieve goals in realistically complex, time-pressured, and uncertain task environments. However, the ability to manage multiple, potentially interacting tasks in such environments requires extensions to the functionality these systems typically provide. This paper identifies a number of factors affecting how interacting tasks should be prioritized, interrupted, and resumed, and then describes a sketchy planner called APEX that takes account of these factors...

THE TEMPORAL EVOLUTION IS PRESENTED OF ION-SOUND TURBULENCE IN THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE. THE ORIGIN OF THE TURBULENCE IS ASSOCIATED WITH CURRENTS AND ELECTRIC FIELDS ALONG GEOMAGNETIC FIELD LINES. THE ANOMALOUS DISSIPATION OF THE LONGITUDINAL CURRENTS CAUSED BY TURBULENCE IS THE SOURCE OF GRADUAL HEATING OF THE PLASMA. THE DAMPING OF SHORT-PERIOD OSCILLATIONS OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD, CORRESPONDING TO MHD-WAVES IN THE MAGNETOSPHERE, MAY SERVE AS A DIAGNOSTIC MEASURE OF THIS PHENOMENON. AS...

This paper presents an improvement of a standard algorithm for detecting dead-lock potentials in multi-threaded programs, in that it reduces the number of false positives. The standard algorithm works as follows. The multi-threaded program under observation is executed, while lock and unlock events are observed. A graph of locks is built, with edges between locks symbolizing locking orders. Any cycle in the graph signifies a potential for a deadlock. The typical standard example is the group of...

The process of acceptance testing large software systems for NASA has been analyzed, and an empirical planning model of the process constructed. This model gives managers accurate predictions of the staffing needed, the productivity of a test team, and the rate at which the system will pass. Applying the model to a new system shows a high level of agreement between the model and actual performance. The model also gives managers an objective measure of process improvement.
