Application of cloud particle sensor sondes for estimating the number concentration of cloud water droplets and liquid water content: case studies in the Arctic region [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021
A cloud particle sensor (CPS) sonde is an observing system attached with a radiosonde sensor to observe the vertical structure of cloud properties. The signals obtained from CPS sondes are related to the phase, size, and number of cloud particles.

Effects of Orbital Perturbations on Deployment Dynamics of Tethered Satellite System Using Variable-Length Element

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Orbital perturbations caused by the space environment will induce deviations compared with the prescribed motion trajectory or dynamic performance of the tethered satellite system (TSS).

Tethered Satellite System Stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Abstract : Issues of stability of the Tethered Satellite System (TSS) during station-keeping, de- ployment and retrieval are considered. The basic nonlinear equations of motion of the TSS are derived using the system Lagrangian. Using the Hopf bifurcation theorem, tension control laws are established which guarantee the stability of the system during ...

First Tethered Satellite System: Satellite Gyro Drift On-Flight Identification

open access: yesIFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1994
This paper, to be considered as an application of existing stochastic estimator theories, presents the design of the algorithm used to identify on flight the initial bias of the TSS-1 Satellite gyro drift rates. This algorithm utilises the Space Shuttle Orbiter as an inertial stable platform and correlates its residual angular rates with the satellite ...

ON CONTROL OF TETHERED SATELLITE SYSTEMS

open access: yesIFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1985
Abstract The dynamics of tethered satellite systems is rather complex and consists of various rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. While designing its control system, some of these degrees of freedom may be modeled while the others are likely to be left unmodeled to reduce complexity and cost.

On Tethered Satellite System Current Enhancement

open access: yes, 2023
Improvements of investigations on the Tethered Satellite System (TSS)-1R electron current enhancement due to magnetic limited collections are reported. New analytical expressions are obtained for the potential and temperature changes across the pre-sheath. The mathematical treatments in this work are more rigorous than one past approach.

Evaluating the efficacy of using GPS satellite transmitters to assess movement of bigheaded carp in a riverine system

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
We have evaluated the feasibility of using GPS satellite transmitters on invasive bigheaded carp species, silver carp and bighead carp, that could determine patterns of movement, identify potential feeding and spawning areas, and inform a comprehensive ...
