. Apollo 15 . Return to Apollo 15 . Oral History Interview Excerpts . S71-23772 (11-12 March 1971) --- Two members of the prime crew of the Apollo 15 lunar landing mission collect soil samples during a simulation of lunar surface extravehicular activity in the Taos, New Mexico area. Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, is using a scoop. Astronaut David R. Scoot (right), commander, is holding a sample bag. On the left is a Lunar Roving Vehicle trainer.

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...

SLIDE 1 Coherent beam­beam e#ects study. ... He has shown that a finite length (in other words equal to # # ) of colliding bunches can lead to the coupling of synchro­betatron modes in the beam­beam system, and thus a head­tail type instability of colliding bunches may arise. ... These modes have been observed in di#erent machines. ... SLIDE 5 Figure shows the dependence of the measured and calculated synchro­betatron mode tunes on the beam current for equal electron and positron bunch intensities. ...

SPECTRUM ANALYZER OF MAGNETIC PHENOMENA SAMW . Spectrum analyzer allows onboard computation of electromagnetic waves spectra registered (observed) in the ionosphere and magnetosphere in the ELF/VLF frequency band. ... It consists of magnetic antenna, preamplifier, 16 bit sigma delta AD converter, DSP processor and telemetry interface. ... The channels of lower frequencies are averaged and transmitted with lower repetition rate so the telemetry volume is reduced. ... Dynamic range: 90 dB . ...

... One of the main tasks in space physics is to explain the various ways the Sun / solar wind , magnetosphere , ionosphere , and even upper atmosphere (thermosphere) are coupled to each other. ... On the other hand, some of the cold ionospheric electrons and ions evaporate into the plasmasphere , plasma sheet and tail lobes. ... Collisions between the convecting ionospheric plasma and the neutral atmosphere leads to generation of neutral winds and Joule heating of the neutral gas. ... See also: . ...
