Drop foot corrective device

A light weight, economical device to alleviate a plurality of difficulties encountered in walking by a victim suffering from a drop foot condition is discussed. A legband girdles the leg below the knee and above the calf providing an anchor point for the upper end of a ligament having its lower end attached to a toe of a shoe or a toe on the foot. The ligament is of such length that the foot is supported thereby and retained in a normal position during walking.

Center for Space Power and Advanced Electronics, Auburn University

The union of Auburn University's Center for Space Power and Advanced Electronics and the Westinghouse Science and Technology Center to form a Center for the Commercial Development of Space (CCDS) is discussed. An area of focus for the CCDS will be the development of silicon carbide electronics technology, in terms of semiconductors and crystal growth. The discussion is presented in viewgraph form.

Equuleus Launch Window Analysis and Mission Design

This paper presents the trajectory design process for EQUULEUS, a 6U CubeSat developed by JAXA and the University of Tokyo that is scheduled to launch as a piggyback of NASA’s Artemis 1. After separation from the upper stage of the Space Launch System, EQUULEUS will maneuver along a low-energy transfer to an Earth–Moon quasi-rectilinear halo orbit in 1-to-4 resonance with the lunar synodic period. As a secondary payload, the trajectory of EQUULEUS needs to be compatible with the requirements of the primary mission, but also robust against disturbances and potential changes in the deployment state. Realistic initial conditions spanning two years of potential launch windows are processed and the solution structure for optimal lunar transfers is analyzed. A host of candidate solutions is presented, compatibly with the fuel and power limitations of EQUULEUS. The global understanding of the solution space is shown to be insightful for the design of robust trajectories for limited control-authority spacecraft.
