    THE ASPECTS FOR DESIGNING A SPACEBORNE SAR SYSTEM
    Zhang Chengbo
    1987, 7 (Z1):  10-19. 
    Abstract ( 1745 )   Save
    The spaceborne synthetic aperture radar is an useful microwave remote sensor. It takes its advantage of high resolution and all weather, day and night mapping capability. So it is being getting wider and wider applications.In this paper, some aspects for designing a spaceborne SAR system, such as special mapping geometry, motion compensation, optimum ambiguity design and range cell migration correction are described and analized.

    EXPERIMENT STUDY OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY ABOUT TWO COMMON THERMAL CONTROL COATINGS OF SPACECRAFT
    Lu Yu-sun
    1987, 7 (Z1):  27-33. 
    Abstract ( 1717 )   Save
    The phenomenon of Space Charge Accumulation (SGA)of spacecraft will exhibit if it operates at its orbit-especially at high altitude orbit. Improving the conductivity of spacecraft surface is one of the most useful ways to solve the problem. The surface conductivity changes and the regularities of two common thermal control paints have been studied in simulated substorm condition. Several significant results have been obtained.

    FAILURE DETECTION IN SENSOR SYSTEMS OF A SATELLITE USING PATTERN RECOGNITION TECHNIQUE
    Du Heqing
    1987, 7 (Z1):  34-41. 
    Abstract ( 1745 )   Save
    The failure detection in sensor systems of a long life satellite is needed because of the increasing demands on reliability and safety. Since the life of components which compose the system has its limitaion, we use redundant technique. The component (such as sensor) in the system has two or more redundant parts. If any of them fails, it will be replaced by another one. So the problem is how to detect the failure. A method which was called WALD SEQUENTIAL ANALYSIS in pattern recognition is presented in the paper. The use of microcomputers permits the application of the method in real time processing. The result of simulation of the method in a satellite control system shows that it is feasible to detect failure in the system.

    TWO IMPORTANT MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS OF SPACECRAFT
    Huang Lei-de(Tongji University, Shanghai)
    1987, 7 (Z1):  42-49. 
    Abstract ( 1786 )   Save
    In this note, we consider some initial-boundary value problems of partial differential equations for instability and fracture problems of escape vehicle. Then, we show that the singgular integral equation methods, J-integral (of 3-D) methods and boundary element methods etc are fine techniques for the treatment of the fracture problems of spacecraft.

    A METHOD OF VELOCITY-HEIGHT RATIO CALCULATION FOR IMAGE-MOVING COMPENSATION OF A SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPH SYSTEM
    Fan Qinhong Ou Zixin
    1987, 7 (Z1):  50-57. 
    Abstract ( 3046 )   Save
    A calculating method of velocity-height ratio for image-moving compensation of a satellite photograph system is presented. When the scene on the ground is photographed from an aircraft, the velocity in the velocity- height ratio for the image-moving compensation is one of the ground relative to the aircraft, i. e. so called ground velocity. However, when the scene on the ground is photographed from a satellite, if the velocity was taken as one of the ground relative to the satellite, then the great error would be made. So, the authors have modified the definition of the velocityheight ratio. Such a new definition is suitable to be used for the photographing from aircraft as well as from satellite.Having considered the globe as a spheroid and the orbit of the satellite as elliptic, this paper derived the equations for calculation of the sub-sate llite point and the velocity-height ratio, finally compared such results with those under considering the globe as a sphere and neglecting the eccentricity of the orbit, the relative error of velocity-height ratio is less than 0.5%.

    The Development and Current Status of International Space Insurance Industry
    Han Lianchao
    1987, 7 (Z1):  61-67. 
    Abstract ( 1914 )   Save
    This article is a general introduction to the newly-developed international space insurance industry, It examines how the underwriting originates and grows, It also examines what space insurable risks are and what problems this industry is now seriously facing. This article holds that the space insurance is playing a more fundamental role in the activities of peacefur explorations and uses of outer space, for it provides a reliable financial guanrantee for space enterpises. However, the problems of space insurance risk management differ from that of ordinary insurance risk management and require a good deal knowledge of space techology and thorough risk analysis to tackle them. It also depends on improvement of reliability of spacecraft. In recent years, severar major space losses have frustrated the underwriting. The present capability to insure is temporarily lower before, But there are reasons to believe that the space insurance market will recover in the coming years if proper measures are taken.

    THE SHORT PERIOD TERMS CAUSED BY AIR DRAG PERTURBATION OF ARTIFICIAL EARTH SATELLITE IN ORBIT WITH ARBITRARY-ECCENTRICITY
    Lu Benkui Rong Pengzhi
    1987, 7 (Z1):  68-83. 
    Abstract ( 1689 )   Save
    Using the calculating method and the analytical model of air density of CIRA 1972 at the height between 160 and 2000 km proposed by the authors, a new set of formulae for computing the short period terms caused by air drag perturbation of artificial earth satellite have been deduced. They are with simple form, good convergence, and are applicable to compute the orbit with arbitraryeccentricity.
