The use of tethered satellites for the collection of cosmic dust and the sampling of man made orbital debris far from the space station [PDF]
The use of a tethered subsatellite employed downward into the earth's upper atmosphere to an altitude of about 110 km above the earth would eliminate the orbital contamination problem while at the same time affording a measure of atmospheric braking to ...

Abstract Particles sinking from the surface to the deep ocean play a key role in the biological carbon pump, whose efficiency depends partly on sinking velocities. Over the last decade, in situ imaging has enabled critical advances in our understanding of particle dynamics in the ocean.

Determination of design and operation parameters for upper atmospheric research instrumentation to yield optimum resolution with deconvolution. Appendix 7 [PDF]
Because of the interesting science which can be performed using a satellite attached by a very long tether to a mother vehicle in orbit, such as the Space Shuttle, NASA will deploy TSS-1 (Tethered Satellite System) in 1992.

Uncertainty assessment for a novel optically shallow water radiometric acquisition platform
Abstract We present a novel motorized platform, a custom‐built jet‐ski designed for acoustic and radiometric measurements in optically shallow coastal waters. This platform integrates in‐water radiometers with single‐beam and multi‐beam acoustic sensors, along with a suite of active and passive instruments (conductivity‐temperature‐depth, fluorescence,

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.

A review of the FATIMA Yellow Sea field campaign research
The FATIMA marine fog project took place over the Sable Island region of eastern Canada (summer 2022) and the Yellow Sea of the Republic of Korea (ROK, summer 2023). Its goals are to improve marine fog monitoring and forecasting. Instrumented multiple research vessels, aircraft, tethered balloon and autonomous systems, ocean observation sites, and ...

First evaluation of the main parameters in the dynamics of the Small Expendable Deployer System (SEDS) for a tethered satellite [PDF]
The dynamics of the motion of the Small Expendable Deployer System (SEDS) is studied by using a simplified model in which no external forces (except the gravity gradient field) are applied on the tethered body and the tether is assumed massless.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...
