Furthering Exploration - International Space Station Experience

Optimistic Entanglement Purification With Few Quantum Memories

“…We select initial fidelity F 0 from the range 0.75 to 0.90. µ is selected from the range 1 KHz to 1 GHz [32,36]. Inter-node distance, For the satellite setup, the distance between ground stations d is at most 500 km and the satellite height is set to 400 km, matching the average altitude of the international space station [37]. The atmosphere extinction attenuation, α a , is set to 0.028125 [33].…”

A Study of International Space Station Ground/Crew Communication Methods with Applications to Human Moon and Mars Missions

“…Suggestions are also given regarding improvements to crew autonomy. As more is learned from the ISS, it is clear that it is "the only analog study for long-duration human missions with modular spacecraft assembled in space" such as missions currently envisioned for the Moon and Mars [Kitmacher and Maxwell, 2006]. Thus all studies in improving operations on ISS will necessarily become relevant to future Moon and Mars missions.…”
