Preliminary Statistical Delta-V Analysis for a Representative Europa Orbiter Mission
The Europa Orbiter Mission will put a spacecraft in low altitude orbit around Europa to investigate the existence of a liquid ocean under the frozen surface.
Maneuver Design for the Galileo VEEGA Trajectory
This paper describes the maneuver design that achieved the necessary flyby conditions in a propellant-optimal manner while accomodating both trajectory and spacecraft operating constraints.
Improved electromechanical master-slave manipulator
Electric master-slave manipulator uses force multiplication and allows the operator to remotely control the slave arm. Both the master and slave arms execute seven distinct motions by a specially designed force-reflecting servo having a one to one correspondence between the motion at the master and slave.
Improved head-controlled TV system produces high-quality remote image
Manipulator operator uses an improved resolution tv camera/monitor positioning system to view the remote handling and processing of reactive, flammable, explosive, or contaminated materials. The pan and tilt motions of the camera and monitor are slaved to follow the corresponding motions of the operators head.
