We report on the phase noise properties of DFB lasers operating near 2.0 microns. Measured noise spectra indicate intrinsic laser linewidths below 1 kHz. An effective linewidth of less than 200 kHz for 5 ms measurement times is estimated.
Vulnerability of a variety of candidate spacecraft electronics to total ionizing dose and displacement damage is studied. Devices tested include optoelectronics, digital, analog, linear bipolar devices, and hybrid devices.
Provide discrete illumination to biological specimens contained in 60mm Petri dishes that are subjected to a microgravity environment.
The Biological Research in Canisters - LED (BRIC-LED) is a biological research system that is being designed to complement the capabilities of the existing BRIC-Petri Dish Fixation Unit (PDFU) for the Space Life and Physical Sciences (SLPS) Program. A diverse range of organisms can be supported, including plant seedlings, callus cultures, Caenorhabditis elegans, microbes, and others. In the event of a launch scrub, the entire assembly can be replaced with an identical back-up unit containing freshly loaded specimens.
Several instruments have been developed to measure low concentrations of hydrazine but none are completely satisfactory. A brief review is presented of current instruments such as the electrochemical cell, the ion mobility spectrometer, the mass spectrometer, the gas chromatograph, and the electronic nose.
Funneling under steady-state conditions is investigated, because this problem is simple enough to be treated rigorously and provides some qualitative insights into the more difficult transient problem.
We report on a subharmonic mixer with a broad IF bandwidth that has been developed for the Microwave Instrument for the Rosetta Orbiter (MIRO) to study water transition lines occurring near 557 GHz.
