Determination of spin arrangements in magnetically ordered materials makes neutron diffraction among the major tools in the research on multiferroics because to understand why a given compound displays or does not display the expected properties calls for detailed information on microscopic level. We describe the efforts to identify new candidate magnetoelectric materials based primarily on considerations of symmetry and the knowledge of the magnetic structure. We found that substitution of half manganese with iron introduces a low level of disorder between the two transition metal positions in the RFeMnO<inf>5</inf> (R=Tb,Yb) structure. The lack of evidence for a crystallographic phase transition to a polar space group rules out expectations of a spontaneous electric polarization. In addition, the observed collinear magnetic structure with k = 0 does not permit a spin polarization.. Therefore, by contrast to well known multiferroics RMn<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> (R=Tb,Yb), YbMnFeO<inf>5</inf> and TbMnFeO<inf>5</inf> is not expected to be multiferroic compounds.

The algorithm is based on the numerical solution of the time-variant linearized relative dynamics of RTBP in inertial coordinates. The whole trajectory is divided into several segments. The multi-impulse glideslope idea, traditionally used in the near-earth rendezvous, is employed to obtain estimated velocity increment (delta-v) at the joint of two legs. The instantaneous delta-v, as a matter of fact, can not be implemented by any real engine because the thrust magnitude is always finite. Here, the obtained delta-v is translated into thrust duration in the context of a constant thrust magnitude, which is the most simple and robust type in real applications. Ignition and cutoff delays of the thruster are modeled. Current relative state is used to calculate the next delta-v and then flows to the following segment after thrusting in the delta-v direction for the transcribed time period. A thrusting arc is usually followed by a coast arc. The last segment is retuned by being further subdivided into another group of legs using updated control parameters, in order to counteract the strong nonlinearity in multi-body realm. The whole process ends after the last delta-v is dealt with. Simulation environment is established by using DE405 ephemeris, taking into account gravities of the earth, moon, sun, and all other planets. Monte Carlo analysis is conducted by considering the navigation error and the thrust direction error. Results show that the proposed guidance algorithm can effectively maintain control over the flight time with rather satisfactory final position and velocity accuracy.","PeriodicalId":285002,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies - RAST2011","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116272254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, it is extremely important to determine the drop zones of separated stages or fairing of the launch vehicle with high accuracy regarding safety and reuse issues. Besides, it may be crucial to determine the landing position of payload in a suborbital launch. For early phases of the conceptual design process, 3DOF trajectory prediction is recommended practice for a satisfactory design analysis. This paper aims to present two different 3DOF trajectory prediction tools, developed simultaneously for both multistage suborbital and orbital launchers, called Sonda-M and Sonda-S.
