A framework for evolving assumptions in risk analysis

open access: yesRisk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Risk assessment can be used to evaluate the risks of complex systems and emerging technologies, such as the human–climate nexus and automation technologies, and to inform pathways and policies. Due to the interconnected and evolutionary features of such topics, risk analysts must navigate the dynamics of changing assumptions and probabilities ...

The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measurement of physical characterization. This explosion of data has allowed us to create a new global picture of the Main Asteroid Belt. Put in context with meteorite measurements and

The Cumulation of Debris Clouds around a Fast-rotating Asteroid

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The rotational mass loss has been realized to be a prevalent mechanism to produce low-speed debris near the asteroid, and the size composition of the asteroid’s surface regolith has been closely measured by in situ explorations.

EFFECT OF NON-SPHERICITY OF GRAVITATIONAL FIELD OF THE ASTEROID ON THE ITS SATELLITES ORBITS EVOLUTION

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
Lately it has become possible to sufficiently precise definition of the physical and geometric characteristics of asteroid systems using radar observations (http://echo.jpl.nasa.gov/~lance/binary.neas.html), which allowed calculating the asymmetry of the

Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Scattering V-type asteroids during the giant planets instability: A step for Jupiter, a leap for basalt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
V-type asteroids are a taxonomic class whose surface is associated to a basaltic composition. The only known source of V-type asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt is (4) Vesta, that is located in the inner part of the belt. However, many V-type asteroids cannot be dynamically linked to Vesta., in particular, those asteroids located in the middle and ...

Global Asteroid Risk Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Potentially impacting asteroids were analysed for their impact risk on the Earth. To this end, the Asteroid Risk Mitigation Optimization and Research (ARMOR) tool is currently being developed. The tool's modules are described and their validation is documented.

Six Degree-of-Freedom Body-Fixed Hovering over Unmapped Asteroids via LIDAR Altimetry and Reinforcement Meta-Learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We optimize a six degrees of freedom hovering policy using reinforcement meta-learning. The policy maps flash LIDAR measurements directly to on/off spacecraft body-frame thrust commands, allowing hovering at a fixed position and attitude in the asteroid body-fixed reference frame. Importantly, the policy does not require position and velocity estimates,
