The Tianwen-1 Guidance, Navigation, and Control for Mars Entry, Descent, and Landing

Space: Science & Technology, 2021
Tianwen-1, the first mission of China’s planetary exploration program, accomplished its goals of orbiting, landing, and roving on the Mars. The entry, descent, and landing (EDL) phase directly determines the success of the entire mission, of which the ...

A Scalable, Durable, Fire‐Safe All‐Day Passive Radiative Cooling Coating for Sustainable Buildings

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a scalable, durable coating that combines a fire‑retardant copolymer adhesive, hollow glass microspheres, and boron oxide to achieve passive radiative cooling with over 94% solar reflectance and >95% mid‑infrared emissivity. The coating maintains performance after UV and rain exposure and exhibits UL‑94 V‑0 fire resistance, enabling ...

From Mechanics to Electronics: Influence of ALD Interlayers on the Multiaxial Electro‐Mechanical Behavior of Metal–Oxide Bilayers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrathin AlOxHy interlayers between aluminum films and polymer substrates significantly improve electro‐mechanical properties of flexible thin film systems. By precisely controlling interlayer thickness using atomic layer deposition, this study identifies an optimal interlayer thickness of 5–10 nm that enhances ductility and delays cracking.

Martian Dust Storm Spatial‐Temporal Analysis of Tentative Landing Areas for China's Tianwen‐3 Mars Mission

Earth and Space Science
China's first Mars sampling return mission (Tianwen‐3) is designed to launch and retrieve samples around 2030. Three tentative landing areas (TLAs) (Amazonis, Chryse and Utopia Planitiae, i.e., TLA‐A, TLA‐C and TLA‐U) are selected based on elevation

The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

NASA's Phoenix spacecraft lands on Mars [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2008
After a 9.5‐month, 679‐million‐kilometer flight from Florida, NASA's Phoenix spacecraft made a soft landing in Vastitas Borealis in Mars's northern polar region on 25 May. The lander, whose camera already has returned some spectacular images, is on a 3‐month mission to examine the area and dig into the soil of this site—chosen for its likelihood of ...

Ion‐Regulating Membranes with Surface‐Enriched Charge Networks Enabling Stable Zinc‐Manganese Flow Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ion‐regulating membrane is designed with a surface‐concentrated positively‐charged Zn2⁺ crosslinked network for zinc‐manganese flow batteries. The membrane effectively mitigates proton crossover and regulates zinc ion distribution to avoid dendrites, thus significantly improving areal capacity and prolonging the lifespan with a record accumulated ...

Mars Exploration Entry, Descent and Landing Challenges

2006 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2006
The United States has successfully landed five robotic systems on the surface of Mars. These systems all had landed mass below 0.6 metric tons (t), had landed footprints on the order of hundreds of km and landed at sites below -1 km MOLA elevation due the need to perform entry, descent and landing operations in an environment with sufficient ...
