The present NASA methods are extended to permit utilization of detailed information on microbial characteristics, the lethality of release and transport mechanisms, and of other information about the Martian environment. Different types of microbial release are distinguished, and for each release mechanism a probability of growth is computed. Using this new methodology, an assessment was carried out for the 1975 Viking landings on Mars. The resulting probability of contamination for each Viking lander is 6 x 10 to the -6 power, and is amenable to revision as additional information becomes available.","PeriodicalId":423960,"journal":{"name":"Sāo Paulo, S.P., Brazil - June 1974","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131831005","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}

It is concluded that the interaction of the solar wind with Venus probably results in a bow shock characterized by H/r = 0.01 (ratio of the ionospheric scale height to the planetocentric distance of the nose of the ionopause); an extended exosphere appears unlikely. This direct interaction is indicated by the behavior of electrons with energies of 100-500 eV. Some unusual downstream effects suggest a comet-like tail several hundred scale lengths long. Near Mercury, a fully developed bow shock and magnetosheath were observed. Inside the magnetosheath there is a region analogous to the magnetosphere of the earth and populated by electrons of lower density and temperature than those found in the solar wind. The solar wind ram pressure corresponds to a stagnation pressure equivalent to a 170 gamma magnetic field. The strong solar wind interaction with Mercury is definitely magnetic, but not ionospheric or atmospheric. Spectra and particle flux varied widely while the spaceship was within the magnetosphere itself; temporal events like substorms may be responsible.","PeriodicalId":423960,"journal":{"name":"Sāo Paulo, S.P., Brazil - June 1974","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131379652","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}

The present work discusses two examples of ledge observations, one at noontime and the other at a pre-midnight hour. The noontime observations indicate that the ledge is formed in the region above the F2 layer maximum where O(+) ions are predominant. A mechanism for ledge formation is discussed, in which a field-aligned anomaly in neutral density and temperature plays a significant role. Such an anomaly inhibits plasma flow along the field line and causes an enhancement of ionization along a particular field line over the magnetic equator.","PeriodicalId":423960,"journal":{"name":"Sāo Paulo, S.P., Brazil - June 1974","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124800479","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}
