The Optimum Dimensions of Radiative Spines
Radiative pin fins (spines) are important in conjunction with heat rejection systems for space applications. In the design of radiators for space applications, spines possessing minimum...
Large Space Systems in Global Change Mitigation
Alternative courses of action are an important aspect of reacting to climate changes, including the greenhouse effect, and other environmental issues such as depletion of the ozone layer....
Design and Construction of a Lunar Outpost Assembly Facility
Occupational and Environmental Exposures to Radon: A Perspective for Mitigators
Occupational exposures to radon and radon decay products and the associated high incidence of radiation induced lung cancer form the basis for our present-day concern for limiting exposures...
The Effect of UV Radiation on THM Formation in Drinking Waters
This study was undertaken to investigate the feasibility of using combined UV radiation/chlorination process in drinking water treatment for disinfection while producing lower concentrations...
Disinfection of Wastewater Effluents with Electron Radiation
A full scale electron irradiation unit is being tested at the Virginia Key Wastewater Treatment Plant in Miami, Florida. On-going experimentation is evaluating the use of high energy electrons...
A Comparison of Reclamation Plans at Title I and Title II Uranium Mill Tailings Sites
Extraterrestrial Applications of Solar Optics for Interior Illumination
The major purpose of this paper is to introduce a terrestrial technology that we believe has potential extra-terrestrial applications. The technology is Solar Optics, which is subdivided...
Radiation Hazards to Space Construction - The Energetic Particle Environments
Many aspects of the space environment are recognized hazards for activities above the Earth's atmosphere. One of the most dramatic hazards is that posed by the diverse energetic...
Containerless Coating Processes for Large Space Structures
Large space structures (LSS) in low earth orbit (LEO) must be able to withstand the deleterious effects of in situ ultraviolet radiation, atomic oxygen, and thermal-cycling-induced microcracking....
Thermal Effects on Large Space Structures with Fixed Attitude
Radiation thermal effects are studied simultaneously on the orbital motion and axial deformation of a very large axially flexible space structure executing planar pitch motion around the...
Solar Power Satellite - A Re-Visit
The United States should renew activities investigating the production of baseload electrical power for use on Earth from space. Technology change, world events, and the dictates of the...
Power Systems for Production, Construction Life Support, and Operations in Space
As one looks forward to mankind's future in space, it becomes obvious that unprecedented amounts of power will be required for the exploration, colonization, and exploitation...
Solar Water Heater for NASA's Space Station
This paper describes an investigation of the feasibility of using a solar water heater for NASA's Space Station. During the investigation computer codes were developed to...
Indirect Solar Loading of Waste Heat Radiators
Waste heat from space based power systems must ultimately be radiated away into space. The local topology around the radiators must be considered from two standpoints: the scattering of...
Non-Ionizing Radiation Exposure in Space Activities
Non-ionizing radiation exposure has received considerable attention over the past few years due to the potential health hazards involved. Different limits have been set with no international...
