The use of millimeter frequencies for Mars communications applications has been investigated. Link calculations have been performed for various scenarios. Millimeter wave technology is proposed to keep antenna apertures within somewhat reasonable limits. A set of recommendations for future activities is presented.
A study was conducted to investigate and prove the correlation between the NASTRAN predicted stresses and those measured on an actual structure. NASTRAN is a general purpose digital computer program for the analysis of large complex structures. A real airframe, which had logged several thousand hours flying time, was obtained, instrumented, and loaded to obtain the measured strains.
