2022年2月10日Astra Rocket火箭发射失败,未能入轨。
BAMA-1– University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa
BAMA-1 is a technology demonstration mission that will conduct a flight demonstration of a drag sail module by rapidly deorbiting the satellite. Spacecraft equipped with drag sail technology will be able to deorbit reliably and rapidly, thus reducing space debris and the risk to operational satellites, space stations, and crewed vehicles.
BAMA-1– 阿拉巴马大学塔斯卡卢萨分校
BAMA-1是一项技术演示任务,将通过卫星快速离轨,对拖曳帆模块进行飞行演示。配备拖曳帆技术的航天器将能够可靠,快速地离轨,从而减少空间碎片和对运行卫星,空间站和载人飞行器的风险。
INCA– New Mexico State University, Las Cruces
INCA (Ionospheric Neutron Content Analyzer) is a scientific investigation mission that will study the latitude and time dependencies of the neutron spectrum in low-Earth orbit for the first time to improve current space weather models and mitigate threats to space and airborne assets. The measurements will come from a new directional neutron spectrometer, which is being developed in conjunction with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of New Hampshire.
INCA – 新墨西哥州立大学拉斯克鲁塞斯分校
INCA(电离层中子含量分析仪)是一项科学调查任务,将首次研究低地球轨道中子谱的纬度和时间依赖性,以改善当前的空间天气模型并减轻对太空和空中资产的威胁。测量结果将来自新的定向中子光谱仪。该仪器是哥达德空间飞行中心和新罕布什尔大学合作开发的。
QubeSat– University of California, Berkeley
QubeSat is a technology demonstration mission. It will test and characterize the effects of space conditions on quantum gyroscopes using nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. Nitrogen-vacancy centers are nitrogen defect points in diamond with quantum properties that allow scientists to form gyroscopes that measure angular velocity. Nitrogen-vacancy center-based technologies are particularly well suited for space because of their high accuracy, small form factor, and radiation tolerance.
QubeSat是一项技术演示任务。它测试和表征空间条件对基于金刚石中的氮空位中心的量子陀螺仪的影响。氮空位中心是金刚石中具有量子特性的氮缺陷点,允许科学家制造测量角速度的陀螺仪。基于氮空位中心的技术特别适合太空,因为它们具有高精度,小尺寸和辐射耐受性。
R5-S1 – NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Houston
R5-S1 is intended to demonstrate a fast and cost-effective way to build successful CubeSats in addition to demonstrating some technologies that are important to in-space inspection, which could help to make crewed space exploration safer and more efficient. R5-S1 could prove a cheaper way to demonstrate crucial technologies like high-performance computers, cameras, algorithms, and a new way for satellites to transmit pictures to the ground.
R5-S1 – 美国宇航局约翰逊航天中心,休斯顿
R5-S1旨在展示一种快速且具有成本效益的方法来建造成功的CubeSats,此外还展示了一些对太空检查很重要的技术,这些技术可以帮助使载人太空探索更安全,更高效。R5-S1可能被证明是一种更便宜的方式来展示关键技术,如高性能计算机,相机,算法以及卫星将图像传输到地面的新方法。
