Preliminary results of magnetic field measurements in vicinity of magnetosphere and interplanetary space from Mariner IV
Thermal radiation emission detection from interplanetary dust, showing that zodiacal dust extends to within 4 solar radii of sun and confirming Poynting-Robertson effect
Interplanetary particle diffusion model analysis in terms of energy, position in space, direction and time
Solar flare electron propagation in interplanetary space
Manned interplanetary program planning, suggesting basic parameters for mannned trip to Mars and Venus
Interplanetary sector structure observed by IMP-I SATELLITE compared with photospheric magnetic field and plage structure observations
Interplanetary magnetic field and plasma velocity variations observed during Mariner II flight
Interplanetary magnetic field variation properties and effects on solar cosmic rays determined through Mariner II recordings employed to develop model
Low thrust Jupiter flyby mission analysis for interplanetary vehicles with solar electric propulsion
Mariner IV flight magnetometer data, determining interplanetary field and geomagnetic variability relationship
Streaming and spatial gradient equations of cosmic ray particles in interplanetary medium model, discussing Fokker-Planck equation and heliocentric field modulation
The Lunar Sample Return mission consists of two spacecraft, a communications module, and a lander/sample return module carried to the Moon by another ship. Knowledge of the InterPlanetary Superhighway tunnels and their dynamics provided a quick back-of-the-envelope estimation of the timing and costing of such libration missions which compared well with fully integrated solutions.
This paper reviews the current set of standard data communications capabilities that exist to support advanced missions, discusses the architectural concepts for the future Interplanetary Internet, and suggests how a standardized set of space communications protocols that can grow to support future scenarios where human intelligence is widely distributed across the Solar System.
Promising options for interplanetary travel between the Earth and Mars are considered.
Interplanetary shocks observed at the Ulysses spacecraft as it traveled from the ecliptic plane to the southern solar pole have been identified and analyzed using both magnetic field and plasma measurements.
JPL's Galileo spacecraft, with a December 1995 rendezvous with Jupiter, shot an interplanetary 'bull's eye' when it released its probe to conduct history's first sampling of Jupiter's atmosphere. The probe will slam into Jupiter's hydrogen-helium atmosphere at 100,000 mph as the spacecraft flies overhead and receives and records the probe's data on the structure and composition of the atmosphere.
The current knowledge of the interplanetary and solar causes of superstorms, major magnetic torms, recurring substorms and HILDCAAs will be summarized.
We use WIND solar wind data and POLAR UV imaging data to study magnetospheric responses and substorm triggering mechanisms during and after interplanetary (IP) shock events.
