Study on the Speed Stability of Wheel Drive Mechanism used in Lunar Rover by Xiao Jie, Zeng Lingbin, Zhang Xiaowei, Liu Dianfu, Zou Huaiwu

“…The 3-stage planetary reducer with closed-loop control is adopted in CE-3 lunar rover wheel drive mechanism.Aiming at the problem that the speed stability of drive mechanism does not satisfy the design requirements,the factors affecting the speed stability of planetary reducer are systematically analyzed,and methods and measures minimizing the inequality of load sharing of planetary gear sets are studied carefully.Through troubleshooting and numerical simulations,the causation is uncovered as follows:the first stage sun gear radial runout exceeds the allowed range.Then two solutions are proposed:the first one is to redesign the first stage sun gear into a floating sun gear,the second one is to improve the machining precision of the first stage sun gear.And the second solution is adopted because it is smaller and lighter than the first one.Then much ground simulation tests which are conducted at the room condition,high-temperature vacuum condition and low-temperature vacuum condition demonstrate that the speed stability of drive mechanism satisfies the design requirements.At last,the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by the telemetry parameters of lunar rover moving on the moon surface.…”

Monte Carlo Evaluation of the Europa Clipper TID Margin Based on the Variability of the Jovian Radiation Environment With Application for Mission Design by A. Andersen, W. Kim, S. McClure, I. Jun

“…Abstract The Europa Clipper mission will repeatedly pass in and out of the Jovian radiation belts as it explores the icy moon. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of any safety margins for total ionizing dose (TID) ratings on Europa Clipper spacecraft components, the variability of the expected radiation environment must be considered. …”

The viscosity and processing of molten lunar regolith by James Bowen, Vibha Levin Prabhu, Sungwoo Lim, Mahesh Anand

“…The rheological properties of the low-titanium lunar mare regolith simulant JSC-1A are measured using concentric cylinder rheometry and these results are used to explore the influence of viscosity on processing operations involving the flow of molten regolith for fabricating construction components on the Moon surface. These include the delivery of molten regolith within an extrusion-based 3D printing technique and the ingress of molten regolith into porous structures. …”

Usages du futurisme médical en Chine pré-républicaine : craniotomie et régénération dans deux récits de science-fiction (1904-1905). by Florine Leplâtre

“…Science-Fiction as a genre develops quickly in the 1900 in China, but is is worth remembering that the scholars who produce, translate and circulate these narratives assign to them a didactic role: following Lu Xun words in his 1903 translation of From the Earth to the Moon, it would be about popularizing modern science and technology via fiction. …”

Variations in EUV Irradiance: Comparison between LYRA, ESP, and SWAP Integrated Flux by Mehmet Sarp Yalim, Stefaan Poedts

“…During this eclipse, the discrepancy between the two data channels can be explained to be related to the occultation of active region 11087 by the Moon. In the second half of July 2010, LYRA channel 2–4 and SWAP integrated flux deviate from each other, but these differences can also be explained in terms of features appearing on the solar disk such as coronal holes and active regions. …”
