Enhanced fluctuations in plasmas.

Enhanced plasma fluctuations produced by suprathermal electron effect on emission and scattering of electromagnetic waves, noting analogy with corona plasma

PLASMA-ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERACTION↗

Study of convective magnetohydrodynamic channel flow

Study involves the effects of the interactions of electromagnetic, velocity, and temperature fields to aid in the design of a magnetohydrodynamic device. It concerns a theoretical analysis of the convective flow of an electrically conducting gas in a channel composed of conducting walls.

Space science experiments aboard ATS-F.

The Environmental Measurements Experiment (EME) package is mounted on the ATS-F spacecraft to a structure that is located on top of the 30-foot parabolic reflector hub. The eight experiments of the EME package are designed to study the environment in space at synchronous altitude and to obtain information on electromagnetic-ionospheric interactions. Six of these experiments will obtain data on charged particles of several different types. A seventh experiment is to provide magnetic field data. The eighth experiment is concerned with solar cell degradation studies.

An elementary magnetic attitude control system

A three-axis closed-loop attitude-control system for earth-observatory momentum-bias spacecraft is proposed. A horizon scanner and magnetometer are employed to measure attitude errors; no yaw sensor is required. Appropriate control signals are generated and used to command variable-strength electromagnets, which interact with the geomagnetic field to reduce observed errors. This system provides for initial acquisition, precession control, nutation damping, and pitch-axis momentum control. All functions are performed autonomously - no ground-station interaction is required. Analytical expressions predicting system response are compared with numerical solutions of the governing equations, and with the results of the application of Floquet Theory.-
