Planetary Imaging Concept Testbed Using a Recoverable Experiment-Coronagraph (PICTURE C)
(SPIE, 2015)An exoplanet mission based on a high-altitude balloon is a next logical step in humanity's quest to explore Earthlike planets in Earthlike orbits orbiting Sunlike stars. The mission described here is capable of spectrally ... -
Effect of Longitude-Dependent Cloud Coverage on Exoplanet Visible Wavelength Reflected-Light Phase Curves
(IOP Publishing, 2015-05-10)We use a planetary albedo model to investigate variations in visible wavelength phase curves of exoplanets. Thermal and cloud properties for these exoplanets are derived using one-dimensional radiative-convective and cloud ... -
Response of geostationary communications satellite solid-state power amplifiers to high-energy electron fluence.
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-05)The key components in communications satellite payloads are the high-power amplifiers that amplify the received signal so that it can be accurately transmitted to the intended end user. In this study, we examine 26 amplifier ...
