Industrial Conduit Hydropower Opportunities in the United States: Scoping Assessment

Industrial conduit hydropower involves generating electricity from flowing water in existing industrial water supply, process flow, or wastewater discharges. The broader range of conduit hydropower involves powering existing water infrastructure in municipal, industrial, or agricultural systems. Whereas municipal and agricultural water systems have been retrofitted somewhat broadly in the United States, there are very few examples of industrial conduit hydropower. As stated in Kao et al. (2022), “conduit hydropower opportunities associated with industrial conduits are the least understood […] industrial developments are likely to be particularly efficient and cost-effective since they are typically eligible for on-site net-metering.” Therefore, additional insight into industrial opportunities is needed.

The tracking system analytic calibration activity for Mariner Mars 1971: Its function and scope

The functions of the Tracking System Analytic Calibration activity for Mariner Mars 1971 (MM'71), its objectives for this and future missions, and the support provided to the MM'71 Navigation Team during operations are described. Support functions encompass calibration of tracking data by estimating physical parameters whose uncertainties represent limitations to navigational accuracy, and detailed analysis of the tracking data to uncover and resolve any anomalies. Separate articles treat the activities and results of producing calibrations for the various error sources: Deep Space Station Locations, timing and polar motion, charged particles, and the troposphere. Two other articles are also included discussing the effects of the media error sources on orbit determination and the merits of the smoothing technique used for DRIVID.

Multidisciplinary research in the space sciences. Scope B: Experimental X-ray astronomy

A research program to design and develop instruments suitable for rocket-borne X-ray astronomy experiments is discussed. Successful designs that were implemented are summarized. The designs include the following: (1) a large area modular X-ray focusing system, (2) incoherent scattering polarimeters, (3) Bragg crystal spectrometers and polarimeters, and (4) a focusing collector for long wavelength. The applications of these instruments to the observation of X-ray sources in rocket-borne experiments are analyzed.
