Integrated Analytical Evaluation and Optimization of Model Parameters against Preprocessed Measurement Data
Abstract
This contract supported investigations for integrated applications of ephemerides, physics, and mathematics of the atmosphere and near space. Projects undertaken and reported on included satellite, rocket, and astronomical circumstances; data based studies of atmospheric density and structure; spacecraft interactions leading to charging and contamination; auroral ion and electric field modeling; trapped particle, magnetic field, and instrumentation studies for CRRES; shuttle simulation and mission support; POLAR BEAR imaging and attitude determination; scintillation and spaced receivers; GE (Group Encoded) OTHB Radar processing system; lightning detection; file generating systems for ephemeris and attitude; study of common data formats; and software for interactive graphics. Keywords: Remote detectors; CRRES (Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite); Polar Bear Project; Aurorae ; Ultraviolet imagers; POLAR computer program; Atmospheric physics; Spacecraft charging; Over- the-horizon backscatter radar; Scientific satellite orbits; Satellite attitude; CIV (Critical Ionization Velocity); Atmospheric density; Spacecraft interactions; Contamination; Magnetic fields; Magnetometers; Spectrograms; Shuttle simulation.
