This book was released on 1965 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NASA, as a continuation of the solar physics program, has established the requirement for an Advanced Orbiting Solar Observatory. The Phase I portion of the development was concluded in July 1965. The AOSO spacecraft is unique in having: 1) capability to accurately point to or scan any position on the sun to [plus or minus] 5 arc-sec resolution by means of a spacecraft provided fine sun sensor, 2) orbital characteristics providing continuous solar illumination for many months, 3) a combination of passive thermal control, high-thermal inertia, and a non-redundant experiment support to minimize temperature excursions and thermal distortions, 4) versatility in accomodating various experiment configurations with only minor observatory modifications, 5) provision for accurate experiment-to-sun sensor alignment and in-orbit calibration, and 6) solid state integrated circuits in the communications and data handling subsystem for increased reliability and minimum weight. The AOSO capability of continuous high resolution observation of the sun is of crucial importance to astrophysical research in developing a solar flare prediction ability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2004 NASA was given a new policy direction known as the Vision for Space Exploration. That plan, now renamed the United States Space Exploration Policy, called for sending human and robotic missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. In 2005 NASA outlined how to conduct the first steps in implementing this policy and began the development of a new human-carrying spacecraft known as Orion, the lunar lander known as Altair, and the launch vehicles Ares I and Ares V. Collectively, these are called the Constellation System. In November 2007 NASA asked the National Research Council (NRC) to evaluate the potential for new science opportunities enabled by the Constellation System of rockets and spacecraft. The NRC committee evaluated a total of 17 mission concepts for future space science missions. Of those, the committee determined that 12 would benefit from the Constellation System and five would not. This book presents the committee's findings and recommendations, including cost estimates, a review of the technical feasibility of each mission, and identification of the missions most deserving of future study.

This book was released on 2008-05-08 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To begin implementation of the Vision for Space Exploration (recently renamed "United States Space Exploration Policy"), NASA has begun development of new launch vehicles and a human-carrying spacecraft that are collectively called the Constellation System. In November 2007, NASA asked the NRC to evaluate the potential for the Constellation System to enable new space science opportunities. For this interim report, 11 existing "Vision Mission" studies of advanced space science mission concepts inspired by earlier NASA forward-looking studies were evaluated. The focus was to assess the concepts and group them into two categories: more-deserving or less deserving of future study. This report presents a description of the Constellation System and its opportunities for enabling new space science opportunities, and a systematic analysis of the 11 Vision Mission studies. For the final report, the NRC issued a request for information to the relevant communities to obtain ideas for other mission concepts that will be assessed by the study committee, and several issues addressed only briefly in the interim report will be explored more fully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, The Sun to the Earth-and Beyond: Panel Reports, is a compilation of the reports from five National Research Council (NRC) panels convened as part of a survey in solar and space physics for the period 2003-2013. The NRC's Space Studies Board and its Committee on Solar and Space Physics organized the study. Overall direction for the survey was provided by the Solar and Space Physics Survey Committee, whose report, The Sun to the Earth-and Beyond: A Decadal Research Strategy in Solar and Space Physics, was delivered to the study sponsors in prepublication format in August 2002. The final version of that report was published in June 2003. The panel reports provide both a detailed rationale for the survey committee's recommendations and an expansive view of the numerous opportunities that exist for a robust program of exploration in solar and space physics.
