Cesium ionization on porous tungsten structures in terms of neutral fraction, critical temperature, and flow rate
Pressure molding tungsten microspheres is accomplished by applying hydraulic pressure to a silicone rubber mold insert with several barrel shaped chambers which is placed in a steel die cavity. This technique eliminates castings containing shear fractures.

Infrared spectrophotometry evaluated for compositional analysis of lunar and planetary soils
Simulated solar wind bombardment found to drastically affect color, albedo and photometric properties of rocks similar to lunar surface
Tungsten microspheres used to fabricate cesium ionizers having improved uniformity, pore character and ionization performance
Specimen holder for X ray diffraction analysis presents the specimen to the incident X rays in a curvature. This permits the use of an X ray beam having a larger divergence angle, the beam intensity is increased, and the statistical accuracy of analysis is improved.

Photodesorption of oxygen from nickel oxide at room temperature using 635, 705, and 1070 millimicron light
Mid-IR spectral emittance measuring apparatus, discussing range of performance, systems response, etc
Electron microprobe analysis of quartz and alumina darkening upon solar wind ion bombardment, noting existence of iron, tungsten and carbon in samples
Study reveals that suggested threshold limit values are from two to fifty times lower than current recommended threshold limit values. Proposed safe limits of exposure to the ultrafine dusts are based on known toxic potential of various materials as determined in particle size ranges.
Physical properties of powered titanium alloys
The development of very large size solid rocket engines cannot be accomplished, as in the case of small rocket engines, by empirical methods requiring a great number of full-scale firings. It is therefore necessary to predict rocket operation from data obtained on charges of different size and geometry. This paper presents a mathematical method for determining analytically the rocket engine thrust and chamber pressure development curves from the charge and engine geometry, the heat of explosion the kinetics characteristics and any other parameters affecting engine operation. It is shown that it is possible to compute empirical values for burning rate and erosion effects from experimental firings. Following a brief survey of the fundamentals of this method, the procedure is illustrated by four representative examples.
