This bibliography lists 190 reports, articles and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system in August 1986.
This bibliography lists 419 reports, articles, and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system in August 1986.
Missions selected by NASA as representative of the most critical technology issues are described and the key technology requirements are discussed. The following are considered: (1) the Large Deployable Reflector (LDR), (2) the Sample Return Missions (SRM), (3) the Earth Observing System (EOS), and (4) the Geostationary Communications Platform (GCP). The LDR, designed for infrared and submillimeter astronomical measurements, will contain the following components for its instruments: indium antimonide charge-coupled arrays, extrinsic photodetector arrays, and heterodyne photoconductors. New technology developed for SRM includes an X-band transponder, a fiber-optic rotation sensor, and long-life batteries. The EOS will consist of instruments designed to measure the earth's atmosphere, interior, and surface, as well as an information system to support scientific research. Inherent in the platform of the GCP is the ability to effectively utilize both the geostationary arc and the electromagnetic spectrum; the GCP can also reduce overall satellite communications system costs.
