In order to achieve high-frequency and high-resolution GEO remote sensing, a “Formation Flying Synthetic Aperture Telescope (FFSAT)”with multiple micro-satellites has been proposed. The FFSAT greatly improves the spatial resolution using a synthetic aperture technique. Therefore the relative positions and attitudes between the optical units of each satellite must be controlled with an accuracy better than 1/10 of the observation wavelength. However, even mm-class accuracy control has not been demonstrated on orbit. As a first practical application of the FFSAT, a forest fire monitoring mission using infrared rays is being considered, in which control accuracy requirement is relaxed as its wavelength is longer than visible light. We proposed a point spread function optimization method for controlling formation flying with an accuracy of approximately 1–1,000 times the wavelength (1 μm–1mm) in the absence of sensors, which can measure absolute distance with μm-accuracy. The effectiveness of the method was demonstrated through simulations in which the satellites’ system and the optical system are coupled. The simulation results show that the method can control the formation within the wavelength order.","PeriodicalId":54419,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68662531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In designing the path for planetary exploration rovers, we must consider various safety conditions, such as terrain hazards, illumination, and communication visibility to the Earth. Some of the safety features are time-varying, and the optimal path should be searched for both the spatial direction and the temporal direction. In addition, there is no guarantee that all of the sequences will be successfully executed on time due to misoperation, failures, or trou-ble. Therefore, a path that is robust against the delay must be planned so as to guarantee safety even when behind schedule. The authors propose an algorithm called “ Robust Spatio-Temporal Path Planner for the Planetary Rover (R OBUST -STP3R) ” to obtain a path that is robust against schedule delay in a time-varying environment. This method de fi nes a cost function that consists of the distance as well as the region type cost. To add robustness against schedule delays, the authors consider a weighted summation of the time-varying region type cost with regard to the temporal direction. The e ff ectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through use in a simulated lunar polar exploration exercise.","PeriodicalId":54419,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68663503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the criteria for 15 NM separation standards exist, past safety assessment did not consider the surveillance environment. This consideration may reduce the possible route spacing. Here, to account for the surveillance environment, the recently developed ASEPS model is applied. Since this model was intended for deployment on oceanic route systems, the model parameters are modified appropriately while keeping the consistency of the past safety analysis and data analysis. In particular, the parameter of occupancy is set based on one-year flight data in Japanese airspace, and the calculation of action time to resolve the conflict is modified to estimate the collision probability more accurately. The results show that 8 NM route spacing satisfies the safety criteria.","PeriodicalId":54419,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68662273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the fl ight Mach number of an aircraft is higher than 4.4, the underwater fl ow fi eld becomes supersonic, and a sonic boom is generated there.

In contrast, in the supersonic underwater fl ow, the surface waviness hardly a ff ects the penetration depth of underwater sonic booms, although it can slightly weaken the boom intensity.

The PIV results indicated that strong interaction causes elliptical jet growth on a cross-stream plane and a decrease in the Reynolds stress of the inner shear layer on a plane containing both jet axes. The dynamic mode decomposition of the double-pulsed schlieren images extracted the interaction of each jet, which relates to the Mach wave generation.
