JPL has developed high performance cold cathodes using arrays of carbon nanotube bundles thay routinely produce > 15 A/cm2 at 5 to 8 V/μm applied fields for extreme environment vacuum electronics and miniature instrumentation. ...

The differences between subcritical liquid drop and supercritical fluid drop behavior are discussed.

This paper describes the validation process for the Autonomous Science Agent, a software agent that will fly onboard the EO-1 spacecraft from 2003-2004. This agent will recognize science events, retarget the spacecraft to ...

As a part of its slow error corrections, the Federal Aviation Administration's Wide-Area Augmentation System (WAAS) provides ionospheric vertical delays at geographically fixed Ionospheric Grid Points (IGPs).

The growing technical complexity of and increased cost pressure on deep-space science missions poses challenges for the system engineering discipline of mission validation and verification. In the wake of several recent ...
