Wavefront control in space with MEMS deformable mirrors for exoplanet direct imaging
(SPIE-SOC Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2013-10)To meet the high contrast requirement of 1 x 10(-10) to image an Earth-like planet around a sun-like star, space telescopes equipped with coronagraphs require wavefront control systems. Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a key ... -
Space weather radiation effects on geostationary satellite solid-state power amplifiers
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-08)In order to understand and mitigate the effects of space weather on the performance of geostationary (GEO) communications satellites, we analyze 16 years of archived telemetry data from Inmarsat, the UK-based telecommunications ... -
Mars atmospheric CO2 condensation above the north and south poles as revealed by radio occultation, climate sounder, and laser ranging observations
(Journal Of Geophysical Research-Planets, 2012-07-10)We study the condensation of CO2 in Mars' atmosphere using temperature profiles retrieved from radio occultation measurements from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) as well as the climate sounding instrument onboard the Mars ...
