Simulation of Helical-Baffle Inlet Structure Cyclone Separator

Separations
In developing spacecraft dust environment testing equipment, cyclone separators serve as critical particulate separation devices. To optimize cyclone performance, this study investigates the impact of inlet configurations on internal flow fields.

Self‐supervised Learning of Fine‐to‐Coarse Cuboid Shape Abstraction

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract The abstraction of 3D objects with simple geometric primitives like cuboids allows us to infer structural information from complex geometry. It is important for 3D shape understanding, structural analysis and geometric modeling. We introduce a novel fine‐to‐coarse self‐supervised learning approach to abstract collections of 3D shapes.

Microstructural evidence for multiple generations of sulfide precipitation and impact‐induced thermal alteration under acidic conditions on Asteroid Ryugu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Here we report on the microstructure and chemistry of sulfide minerals returned from asteroid (162173) Ryugu. We identify a unique sulfide population in particle A0016 composed of violarite (FeNi2S4), pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), pyrrhotite (Fe1‐xS), and pentlandite ([Fe,Ni]9S8).

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Effects of the angle of head‐down tilt on dynamic cerebral autoregulation during combined exposure to cephalad fluid shift and mild hypercapnia

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Astronauts experience combined exposure to a cephalad fluid shift and mild hypercapnia during space missions, potentially contributing to health problems. Such combined exposure may weaken dynamic cerebral autoregulation. The magnitude of cephalad fluid shift varies between individuals, and dynamic cerebral autoregulation may be affected more ...

Autonomy at Levels for Spacecraft

CoRR
Autonomy at Levels is the idea that autonomy should be embedded within and throughout a spacecraft. Using Systems Engineering methods a spacecraft is typically decomposed into systems, subsystems, assemblies, components, and so on. All these decomposition levels within all the spacecraft's systems, could and should have autonomy elements built in. As a

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.

Isometric training at longer muscle–tendon complex lengths: A potential countermeasure to impaired neuro‐muscle–tendon function during space travel

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...
