Automatic computation of wing-fuselage intersection lines and fillet inserts with fixed-area constraint [PDF]
Procedures for automatic computation of wing-fuselage juncture geometry are described. These procedures begin with a geometry in wave-drag format. First, an intersection line is computed by extrapolating the wing to the fuselage.

Abstract During the 21–22 January 2005 magnetic storm, the FAST satellite observed warm (< few keV) ions in discrete energy bands on the dayside at ∼3,000 km altitude for more than 6.5 hr. We suggest that the ionospheric energy‐banded ions represent the low‐altitude edge of the warm plasma cloak observed simultaneously by magnetospheric satellites ...

Time-control system for communication between data-collection and orbiting [PDF]
Platform design includes timers which limit data transmission to times when satellites are within radio communication range. As result of reduced power requirement, data-collection platforms now can be equipped with significantly lighter battery ...

Abstract Martian carbonate‐bearing rocks are compelling targets for exploration because they preserve detailed records of past aqueous processes, climate, and habitability. The Margin unit in Jezero crater is a distinct olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing unit stratigraphically underlying the western fan, lining the inner margin of the western crater rim ...

Surface grid generation for complex three-dimensional geometries [PDF]
An outline is presented for the creation of surface grids from primitive geometry data such as obtained from CAD/CAM systems. The general procedure is applicable to any geometry including full aircraft with wing, nacelle, and empennage. When developed in

“Salt Tectonics” on Titan: Radial Labyrinths as Topographic Expressions of Solid‐State Flow
Abstract Surface observations of Saturn's moon Titan revealed features characterized as dissected, elevated plateaus with high valley density known as labyrinth terrains. Of this terrain class, a subtype referred to as radial labyrinth is described as dome‐shaped uplifts with radial channel patterns.

Structure of Jupiter's High‐Latitude Storms: Folded Filamentary Regions Revealed by Juno
Abstract Sprawling, turbulent cloud formations dominate the meteorology of Jupiter's mid‐to‐high latitudes, known as Folded Filamentary Regions (FFRs). A multi‐wavelength characterization by Juno reveals the spatial distribution, vertical structure, and energetics of the FFRs.
