Chapter 3 Basic Plasma Physics - NASA
Basic Plasma Physics 3.1 Introduction Electric propulsion achieves high specific impulse by the acceleration of charged particles to high velocity. The charged particles are produced by ionization of a propellant gas, which creates both ions and electrons and forms what is called a plasma. Plasma is then a collection of the various charged

Chapter 1 Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) Imaging Basics
descanso.jpl.nasa.govSAR Imaging Basics 5 This is also a good time to point out that there are two different meanings for the term range in radar imaging.The first is the so -called slant range and refers to the range along the radar line-of-sight, as shown in Fig. 1-3. Slant ranges are measured along the line connecting the radar and the object being imaged, often

The compressors that supplied high-pressure helium gas to the antenna-mounted Cryodynes® often contaminated the helium with the lubricant used in the compressor. The expression “oil carry-over” was used often when reporting Cryodyne® warm-ups (failures).
