Integrated Systems with Applications to the Multi-Phases of the Ephemerides, Physics and Methematics of the Upper Atmosphere.

Abstract

This contract provided research, analysis and development support for integrated systems with applications to ephemerides, physics, and mathematics of the upper atmosphere. Investigations have been supported in various aspects of neutral atmospheric density, ionospheric scintillation, magnetic field models, magnetospherically trapped particles and auroral particle precipitation. Software systems have been developed for processing and analyzing data pertaining to these research areas, and for interactive targeting of the space shuttle, ephemeris computation during double thrust, and processing of celestial aspect sensor data. Keywords: Atmospheric density; Ionosphere; Scintillation; Magnetic field models; Trapped particles; Auroral precipitation; Interactive targeting; Celestial aspect sensor; Ephemeris.
