"TESS will significantly increase the number of planets studied," said George Ricker of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, before launching. "It will double the number of planets we've seen and detected with … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 23 May 2019 · 6,641 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace ProbesRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuA space probe is an unmanned space vehicle launched into space to study more or less distant different celestial objects: The Sun, the planets, dwarf planets and small bodies, their satellites, the interplanetary medium or the interstellar medium. A space probe is distinguished from other unmanned spacecraft that remain in Earth orbit. Space probes can take a large number of … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 21 May 2019 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace Debris Removal Mechanism Using CubeSat with Gun Shot FacilitiesShankar Bhattarai, Jie-Rou ShangSpace derbies is a very perilous problem and most of the proposed methods for space debris removal are not successfully serviceable for all sized space junk. Keeping in view the limitation of the existing methods of debris removal techniques an active approach is needed and in this regard required to be instigated purposefully. In more than half a century of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 15 Nov 2018 · 8,218 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNASA Satellites Help us to Quickly Detect Forest FiresRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh et al.The main idea is that, as the forests of the planet are getting smaller, too much wood is cut and the forests are made too slow, there are also large forest fires due to excessive heat, of people arguing with the law, or simply by chance. Extinguishing fires are generally difficult, interventions being difficult anyway due to the increased fire, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 8,094 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNASA Sees First in 2018 the Direct Proof of Ozone Hole RecoveryRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuFor the first time, scientists have shown through direct observations of the ozone hole by a satellite instrument, built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, that levels of ozone-destroying chlorine are declining, resulting in less ozone depletion. Measurements show that the decline in chlorine, resulting from an international ban on chlorine-containing human-produced chemicals called Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has resulted … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 10,692 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNasa Selects Concepts for a New Mission to Titan, the Moon of SaturnRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuNasa just has selected two new concepts for some new robotic missions, one of which aims to explore potential landing sites on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. This first concept is named Dragonfly, which is a drone-like rotorcraft that would use the environment on Titan to fly to a number of locations to sample materials and determine surface composition to examine … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2018 · 12,012 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThere is Life on Mars?Relly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.If you can live on Mars, or if there was life on this planet, it's a natural question. The population of our planet has far outstripped the boundaries from which the planet begins to overcrow. Global resources are decreasing, while their consumption is rising more and more. The world's population is growing, it needs housing, food, water, air, clothes, transport, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2017 · 8,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA First-Class Ticket to the Planet Mars, PleaseRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The paper presents some aspects related to the current stage in the aerospace industry, referring to the current possibilities of moving in space. The main problem that has kept mankind for so many millennia has been the less speed of movement, but also the difficult exit into outer space. For a ship to be able to defeat gravitational forces and … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2017 · 7,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Lense-Thirring Effect in the Anomalistic Period of Celestial BodiesIoannis Haranas, Omiros Ragos, Ioannis GkigkitzisIn the weak field and slow motion approximation, the general relativistic field equations are linearized, resembling those of the electromagnetic theory. In a way analogous to that of a moving charge generating a magnetic field, a mass-energy current can produce a gravitomagnetic field. In this contribution, the motion of a secondary celestial body is studied under the influence of the … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 9 Dec 2013 · 8,459 accessesView PDFCite
