We have studied the science rationale, goals and requirements for a mission aimed at using the gravitational lensing from the Sun as a way of achieving high angular resolution and high signal amplification. We find that such a mission concept is compromised by several practical problems. Most severe are the effects due to the plasma in the solar atmosphere which cause refraction and scattering of the propagating rays. These effects either limit the frequencies that can be observed to those above ∼1 THz, or they move the optical point outwards beyond the vacuum value of ≥550 au. (Thus for observing frequency of 300 GHz the optical point is moved outwards to ∼ 680 au.) Density fluctuations in the inner solar atmosphere will further cause random pathlength differences for different rays. The corrections for the radiation from the Sun itself will also be a major challenge at any wavelength used, but could be mitigated with coronographic techniques. Given reasonable constraints on the spacecraft (particularly in terms of size and propulsion), source selection as well as severe navigational constraints further add to the difficulties for a potential mission. Nevertheless, unbiased surveys of small-scale structure on the sky at short wavelengths might be the most promising application of such a mission. 相似文献

GETEMME (Gravity, Einstein??s Theory, and Exploration of the Martian Moons?? Environment), a mission which is being proposed in ESA??s Cosmic Vision program, shall be launched for Mars on a Soyuz Fregat in 2020. The spacecraft will initially rendezvous with Phobos and Deimos in order to carry out a comprehensive mapping and characterization of the two satellites and to deploy passive Laser retro-reflectors on their surfaces. In the second stage of the mission, the spacecraft will be transferred into a lower 1500-km Mars orbit, to carry out routine Laser range measurements to the reflectors on Phobos and Deimos. Also, asynchronous two-way Laser ranging measurements between the spacecraft and stations of the ILRS (International Laser Ranging Service) on Earth are foreseen. An onboard accelerometer will ensure a high accuracy for the spacecraft orbit determination. The inversion of all range and accelerometer data will allow us to determine or improve dramatically on a host of dynamic parameters of the Martian satellite system. From the complex motion and rotation of Phobos and Deimos we will obtain clues on internal structures and the origins of the satellites. Also, crucial data on the time-varying gravity field of Mars related to climate variation and internal structure will be obtained. Ranging measurements will also be essential to improve on several parameters in fundamental physics, such as the Post-Newtonian parameter ?? as well as time-rate changes of the gravitational constant and the Lense-Thirring effect. Measurements by GETEMME will firmly embed Mars and its satellites into the Solar System reference frame. 相似文献

The Solar System Odyssey mission uses modern-day high-precision experimental techniques to test the laws of fundamental physics
which determine dynamics in the solar system. It could lead to major discoveries by using demonstrated technologies and could
be flown within the Cosmic Vision time frame. The mission proposes to perform a set of precision gravitation experiments from
the vicinity of Earth to the outer Solar System. Its scientific objectives can be summarized as follows: (1) test of the gravity
force law in the Solar System up to and beyond the orbit of Saturn; (2) precise investigation of navigation anomalies at the
fly-bys; (3) measurement of Eddington’s parameter at occultations; (4) mapping of gravity field in the outer solar system
and study of the Kuiper belt. To this aim, the Odyssey mission is built up on a main spacecraft, designed to fly up to 13
AU, with the following components: (a) a high-precision accelerometer, with bias-rejection system, measuring the deviation
of the trajectory from the geodesics, that is also giving gravitational forces; (b) Ka-band transponders, as for Cassini,
for a precise range and Doppler measurement up to 13 AU, with additional VLBI equipment; (c) optional laser equipment, which
would allow one to improve the range and Doppler measurement, resulting in particular in an improved measurement (with respect
to Cassini) of the Eddington’s parameter. In this baseline concept, the main spacecraft is designed to operate beyond the
Saturn orbit, up to 13 AU. It experiences multiple planetary fly-bys at Earth, Mars or Venus, and Jupiter. The cruise and
fly-by phases allow the mission to achieve its baseline scientific objectives [(1) to (3) in the above list]. In addition
to this baseline concept, the Odyssey mission proposes the release of the Enigma radio-beacon at Saturn, allowing one to extend
the deep space gravity test up to at least 50 AU, while achieving the scientific objective of a mapping of gravity field in
the outer Solar System [(4) in the above list].

The plans to launch the RadioAstron space system in the near future and the realization the planned record resolution of 1
microarcsecond will require the precise determination of the satellite orbit. Suitable models for the satellite motion must
be provided, including taking into account relativistic effects. We have obtained equations making it possible to construct
time scales on board the satellite and at the observation point with accuracy up to 1 ps, as well as relativistic relations
for measuring the distance to the satellite using one-way and two-way techniques and the Doppler effect, with a relative uncertainty
of 10−15, necessary for achieving the precision required for the RadioAstron mission. 相似文献

ASTROD I is a planned interplanetary space mission with multiple goals. The primary aims are: to test general relativity with
an improvement in sensitivity of over three orders of magnitude, improving our understanding of gravity and aiding the development
of a new quantum gravity theory; to measure key solar system parameters with increased accuracy, advancing solar physics and
our knowledge of the solar system; and to measure the time rate of change of the gravitational constant with an order of magnitude
improvement and the anomalous Pioneer acceleration, thereby probing dark matter and dark energy gravitationally. It is an
international project, with major contributions from Europe and China and is envisaged as the first in a series of ASTROD
missions. ASTROD I will consist of one spacecraft carrying a telescope, four lasers, two event timers and a clock. Two-way,
two-wavelength laser pulse ranging will be used between the spacecraft in a solar orbit and deep space laser stations on Earth,
to achieve the ASTROD I goals. A second mission, ASTROD (ASTROD II) is envisaged as a three-spacecraft mission which would
test General Relativity to 1 ppb, enable detection of solar g-modes, measure the solar Lense–Thirring effect to 10 ppm, and
probe gravitational waves at frequencies below the LISA bandwidth. In the third phase (ASTROD III or Super-ASTROD), larger
orbits could be implemented to map the outer solar system and to probe primordial gravitational-waves at frequencies below
the ASTROD II bandwidth.

This article presents a geovisual analytics approach to discovering people's preferences for landmarks and movement patterns from photos posted on the Flickr website. The approach combines an exploratory spatio‐temporal analysis of geographic coordinates and dates representing locations and time of taking photos with basic thematic information available through the Google Maps Web mapping service, and interpretation of the analyzed area. The article describes data aggregation and filtering techniques to reduce the size of the dataset and focuses on information addressing research questions. The results of analysis for the Seattle metropolitan area help to distinguish between sites that are occasionally popular among the photographers and can be considered as potential attractions from sites that are regularly visited and already known as city landmarks. The analysis of photographers' movements across the metropolitan area shows that most photographers' itineraries are short and highly localized. 相似文献

New concept for testing General Relativity: the Laser Astrometric Test Of Relativity (LATOR) mission
This paper discusses a Fundamental physics experiment that will test relativistic gravity at the accuracy better than the effects of the second order in the gravitational field strength, ∝ G2. The Laser Astrometric Test Of Relativity (LATOR) mission uses laser interferometry between two micro‐spacecraft whose lines of sight pass close by the Sun to accurately measure deflection of light in the solar gravity. The key element of the experimental design is a redundant geometry optical truss provided by a long‐baseline (100 m) multi‐channel stellar optical interferometer placed on the International Space Station (ISS). The spatial interferometer is used for measuring the angles between the two spacecraft and for orbit determination purposes. In Euclidean geometry, determination of a triangle's three sides determines any angle therein; with gravity changing the optical lengths of sides passing close by the Sun and deflecting the light, the Euclidean relationships are overthrown. The geometric redundancy enables LATOR to measure the departure from Euclidean geometry caused by the solar gravity field to a very high accuracy. LATOR will not only improve the value of the parameterized post‐Newtonian (PPN) γ to unprecedented levels of accuracy of 1 part in 108, it will also reach ability to measure effects of the next post‐Newtonian order (c−4) of light deflection resulting from gravity's intrinsic non‐linearity. The solar quadrupole moment parameter, J2, will be measured with high precision, as well as a variety of other relativistic effects including Lense‐Thirring precession. LATOR will lead to very robust advances in the tests of Fundamental physics: this mission could discover a violation or extension of general relativity, or reveal the presence of an additional long range interaction in the physical law. There are no analogs to the LATOR experiment; it is unique and is a natural culmination of solar system gravity experiments. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献
