Origin of hot ions observed in a modified Penning discharge
Ions with a Maxwellian energy distriubtion and kinetic temperatures ranging from below 100 eV to several keV are observed in a steady state modified Penning discharge. Observations in the plasma, with capacitive probes at several azimuthal locations, are consistent with the existence of two distinct spokes rotating with different velocities in the sheath between the plasma and the anode ring. The faster (0.5 to 10 MHz) spoke consists of electrons rotating with the E/B drift velocity. The slow (0.1 to 1.0 MHz) spoke consists of ions whose measured thermal velocity is directly proportional to the spoke velocity. The interaction of the two spokes is apparently responsible for the observed electrostatic turbulence and ion thermalization. The anode sheath thickness is smaller than the ion gyrodiameter in this plasma. Thus the ions are in the electric field of the sheath for only a fraction of their orbit, and their E/B drift (spoke) velocity is smaller than that of the electrons.

OAST space power technology program
The current research and technology (R and T) base program is first described, then special attention is directed toward outlining a new system technology specifically oriented toward providing the utility power plant technology base for semi-permanent earth orbital facilities expected to be needed in the middle to late 1980's. The R and T program involves five areas of research: (1) photovoltaic energy conversion; (2) chemical energy conversion and storage; (3) thermal-to-electric conversion; (4) environment interactions; and (5) power systems management and distribution. The general objectives and planned direction of efforts in each of these areas is summarized.

Proton radiation damage in bulk n-GaAs
Bulk samples of Te-doped n-type GaAs were irradiated using 10 MeV to 24 MeV protons to fluences between 2 x 10 to the 11th power protons/sq cm and 2 x 10 to the 14th power protons/sq cm. Majority carrier electrical effects were measured using the vanderPauw techniques and it was observed that radiation damage was minimal at the 10 to the 11th power proton/sq cm fluence. For the higher fluences, carrier removal was proportional to Delta E/Delta x for the protons indicating ionization interactions between the protons and atoms. Thermal annealing was observed at 155 C.

Spacelab 2 pointed experiments
Thirteen experiments have been selected for development for the multidisciplinary Spacelab 2 mission. They include three solar physics instruments and an atmospheric physics investigation mounted on the Instrument Pointing System (IPS), a two-axis gimballed X-ray experiment, an infrared telescope scanned about a single axis, and several fixed instruments. Integration of the IPS with its instruments and integration of the entire experiment complement into a flight mission has been a most demanding, complex task which has evolved as the Shuttle carrier vehicle, Spacelab, the IPS, and the experiments have matured. Mechanical interactions between all of these elements, thermal design restrictions, Shuttle and IPS operational constraints, mission duration, pointed instrument collision avoidance, and many other factors have impacted the scientific and engineering objectives of all of the experiments. Not all of the impacts have been adverse, however, and four types of joint science between previously unrelated experiments have so far been generated. This paper summarizes the current state of mission planning, particularly as it relates to the achievement of the scientific and engineering objectives of the pointed experiments. It discusses some of the compromises that have been made to satisfy the diverse requirements and capabilities of the hardware, the planning to date for joint solar observations from the IPS, and some system problems which remain.

Exhaust emissions survey of a turbofan engine for flame holder swirl type augmentors at simulated altitude flight conditions
Emissions of carbon dioxide, total oxides of nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide from an F100 afterburning two spool turbofan engine at simulated flight conditions are reported. Tests were run at Mach 0.8 at altitudes of 10.97 and 13.71 km (36,000 and 45,000 ft), and at Mach 1.2 at 13.71 km (45,000 ft). Emission measurements were made from intermediate power (nonafterburning) through maximum afterburning, using a single point gas sample probe traversed across the horizontal diameter of the exhaust nozzle. The data show that emissions vary with flight speed, altitude, power level, and radial position across the nozzle. Carbon monoxide emissions were low for intermediate and partial afterburning power. Unburned hydrocarbons were near zero for most of the simulated flight conditions. At maximum afterburning, there were regions of NOx deficiency in regions of high CO. The results suggest that the low NOx levels observed in the tests are a result of interaction with high CO in the thermal converter. CO2 emissions were proportional to local fuel air ratio for all test conditions.

Modification of planetary atmospheres by material from the rings
The modification of the atmospheres and ionospheres of ringed planets by the injection of ionized and neutral material from the rings is discussed, on the basis of Pioneer and Voyager observations. It is shown that although no direct evidence exists for the injection of material from the rings into the atmosphere, such an interaction could account for the observed thermal structure and ionospheric properties of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and the Jovian satellite Io.
