“…As such, it would be possible, in a single launch, to obtain ground truth from a large part of the entire planet. A potential design for the probes themselves will be provided by an article in the next issue of International Journal of Space Science and Engineering (Moores et al, 2014).…”

“…First, is assumed that the probes reach terminal velocity by at the latest the 0.4 bar pressure level and remain at terminal velocity throughout their descent, as was the case for the Galileo Entry Probe. It is likely, based upon the much lower ratio of mass-to-surface area that terminal velocity will be achieved sooner at lower pressure and higher altitude, however a full aerothermodynamics analysis is beyond the scope of this paper (please see Moores et al (2014) for a simplified analysis). Further, it is assumed that each probe has a mass, m, of 12.5 kg, that the diameter of the heat shields are 60 cm and that the heat shield is near conical in shape, providing a coefficient of drag, C D , of approximately 0.5.…”

“…Therefore, an introduction to these linkages is provided here, beginning with describing the Encounter phase in Section 3.3.1 and demonstrating how hardware that satisfies this phase of the mission will automatically satisfy the Cruise and Downlink phases. The specific design of hardware on each individual spacecraft is left to the following issue (Moores et al, 2014).…”

A mission concept is presented for several small atmospheric entry vehicles at Jupiter. By relaxing the requirement for substantial penetration into the Jovian atmosphere, the size of the atmospheric entry probes shrinks dramatically. Such atmospheric entry probes would experience much less heating than previous concepts of much larger (~300kg) spacecraft presented as minimum concepts and no parachutes are necessary. This reduces complexity while still permitting over 15 minutes of useable science under free-fall from above the 0.41 bar level to near the 10 bar level of the Jovian Atmosphere during which up to 20 Mbits of data could be returned per probe. By dividing the payload, the risk to the mission is substantially mitigated and ground truth may be obtained from a large part of the entire planetary atmosphere using a single launch. 328J.E.

With the development of aerospace science and technology, Earth Observation Satellite cluster which consists of heterogeneous satellites with many kinds of payloads appears gradually. Compared with the traditional satellite systems, satellite cluster has some particular characteristics, such as large-scale, heterogeneous satellite platforms, various payloads, and the capacity of performing all the observation tasks. How to select a subset from satellite cluster to perform all observation tasks effectively with low cost is a new challenge arousing in the field of aerospace resource scheduling. This is the agent team formation problem for observation task-oriented satellite cluster. A mathematical scheduling model is built. Three novel algorithms, i.e., complete search algorithm, heuristic search algorithm, and swarm intelligence optimization algorithm, are proposed to solve the problem in different scales. Finally, some experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness and practicability of our algorithms.
