Abstract Accurate knowledge of the amount of diurnal warming present in sea surface temperature (SST) observations at different times and effective depths is important for multiple applications including the production of blended SST analyses. This work explores the ability of a modified Kantha‐Clayson‐type one‐dimensional mixed layer ocean model with ...

The evolution of lunar communication—From the beginning to the present
Since the beginning of the space age, the Moon has been the target of many missions from the 1950s to the present day. Radio communication plays a fundamental role in space vehicle projects because this is the most obvious way to communicate with the ground station and transmit control commands and scientific data.

A Design Method for Redundant Microthruster Layout With Allocation Error
The microthruster is generally chosen as the actuator of the drag‐free satellite control system, and the layout directly affects the stability of the satellite control. Due to the extremely rigorous objectives of drag‐free control, a design method for the redundant thruster layout is proposed in this paper to improve the control stability of the ...

Mappings in Astrodynamics [PDF]
We review mappings mainly devised for the study of the dynamics of comets and asteroids. An attempt of a typology according to the method used to devise the mapping and to its deterministic or stochastic character is made.
