A High Efficiency System for Science Instrument Commanding for the Mars Global Surveyor Mission

The Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission will return to Mars to re- cover most of the science lost when the ill fated Mars Observer space- craft suffered a catastrophic anomaly in its propulsion system and did not go into orbit. Described in detail are the methods employed by the MGS Sequence Team to accelerate science command processing by using standard command generation process and standard UNIX control scripts.

High Efficiency Synchronous Rectification in Spacecraft

This paper examines the implementaion of MOSFETs as synchronous rectifiers which results in a substantial improvement in power processing efficency and therefore may result in significant reduction of spacecraft mass and volum for the same payload.

Design and Discovery of Highly Efficient Thermoelectric Materials

Thermoelectric energy conversion efficiency is directly related to the temperature difference over which the device operates, its average temperature of operation and the transport properties of the thermocouple material represented by ZT, the dimensionless figure of merit.

High-efficiency electron ionizer for a mass spectrometer array

The present invention provides an improved electron ionizer for use in a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The improved electron ionizer includes a repeller plate that ejects sample atoms or molecules, an ionizer chamber, a cathode that emits an electron beam into the ionizer chamber, an exit opening for excess electrons to escape, at least one shim plate to collimate said electron beam, extraction apertures, and a plurality of lens elements for focusing the extracted ions onto entrance apertures.
