Oriented vehicles travelling in spherical space [PDF]
This paper tackles the path planning problem for oriented vehicles travelling in the non-Euclidean 3-Dimensional space; spherical space S3 . For such problem the orientation of the vehicle is naturally represented by orthonormal frame bundle; the ...

Excitation of zero-frequency magnetic field-aligned currents by ionospheric heating [PDF]
Time-dependent, three-dimensional numerical simulations of the reduced MHD model describing shear Alfvén waves in the magnetosphere provide an interesting prediction superficially similar to results of several ionospheric heating experiments conducted

A Comparison of Sporadic-E Occurrence Rates Using GPS Radio Occultation and Ionosonde Measurements
Sporadic-E (Es) occurrence rates from Global Position Satellite radio occultation (GPS-RO) measurements have shown to vary by a factor of five between studies, motivating the need for a comparison with ground-based measurements.

Characterization of vortex-shedding regimes and lock-in response of a wind turbine airfoil with two high-fidelity simulation approaches [PDF]
In this work, the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) phenomenon affecting a wind turbine airfoil section at 90° incidence is analysed with two numerical approaches, a two-dimensional (2D) setup of the airfoil, simulated using the unsteady Reynolds-averaged ...

Effects of the postsunset vertical plasma drift on the generation of equatorial spread F
Equatorial spread F (ESF) irregularities are caused by plasma instability processes in the equatorial ionosphere and especially related to plasma bubble phenomena in the topside F region.

A Novel Lane-Change Decision-Making With Long-Time Trajectory Prediction for Autonomous Vehicle
In the process of autonomous vehicle lane changing, a reliable decision-making system is crucial for driving safety and comfort. However, traditional decision-making systems have short-term characteristics, which makes them susceptible to real-time ...

System engineering of autonomous space vehicles [PDF]
Human exploration of the solar system requires fully autonomous systems when travelling more than 5 light minutes from Earth. This autonomy is necessary to manage a large, complex spacecraft with limited crew members and skills available. The communication latency requires the vehicle to deal with events with only limited crew interaction in most cases.

Unified OSTBC-based communication scheme for cooperative space vehicles
In many spatial cooperative vehicle networks, omni-directional communication is preferred due to its flexibility for networking. In the recent studies, space time code was shown to be an effective approach for improving the performance of the omni ...
