This paper analyzes which constellation characteristics provide the best global coverage at the lowest operational cost. Our analysis has found that geostationary and medium Earth orbit satellite constellations have the highest likelihood of profitability. LEO networks are more expensive, but if designed wisely, they can be competitive.

Experimental and Numerical Investigations on the Ignition of RBCC Gas-Oxygen/Kerosene Rocket Ejector
The rocket ejector refers to a core component of a rocket-based combined cycle (RBCC) engine. The ignition is of critical significance for rocket ejection. Reliable and stable ignition crucially determines the normal operation of the engine.

Modeling the effectiveness of radiation shielding materials for astronaut protection on Mars [PDF]
The surface of Mars is bombarded by energetic charged particles of solar and cosmic origin with little shielding compared to Earth. As space agencies are planning for crewed missions to the red planet, a major concern is the impact of ionizing radiation on astronaut health.

Enabling Astronaut Self-Scheduling using a Robust Advanced Modelling and Scheduling system: an assessment during a Mars analogue mission [PDF]
Human long duration exploration missions (LDEMs) raise a number of technological challenges. This paper addresses the question of the crew autonomy: as the distances increase, the communication delays and constraints tend to prevent the astronauts from being monitored and supported by a real time ground control.

Multiscale Fusion Network Based on Global Weighting for Hyperspectral Feature Selection
Feature selection (FS) is an important way to achieve high-precision and efficient classification of hyperspectral remote sensing images. However, most existing FS methods use a fixed scale to extract features and the relationship between spatial and ...

Training Priors Predict Text-To-Image Model Performance [PDF]
Text-to-image models can often generate some relations, i.e., "astronaut riding horse", but fail to generate other relations composed of the same basic parts, i.e., "horse riding astronaut". These failures are often taken as evidence that models rely on training priors rather than constructing novel images compositionally.
