 isotope source X-ray analysers in achieving quality control of binary mixes

Nanosatellites, including the CubeSat class of nanosatellites, are about the size of a shoe box, and the CubeSat modular form factor of a Unit (1U is 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm) was originally defined in 1999 as a standardization for students developing nanosatellites. Over the past two decades, the satellite and instrument technologies for nanosatellites have progressed to the sophistication equivalent to the larger satellites, but now available in smaller packages through advanced developments by universities, government labs, and space industries. For example, the Blue Canyon Technologies (BCT) attitude determination and control system (ADCS) has demonstrated 3-axis satellite control from a 0.5-Unit system with 8 arc-second stability using reaction wheels, torque rods, and a star tracker. The first flight demonstration of the BCT ADCS was for the NASA Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat. The MinXSS CubeSat mission, which was deployed in May 2016 and had its re-entry in May 2017, provided space weather measurements of the solar soft X-rays (SXR) variability using low-power, miniaturized instruments. The MinXSS solar SXR spectra have been extremely useful for exploring flare energetics and also for validating the broadband SXR measurements from the NOAA GOES X-Ray Sensor (XRS). The technology used in the MinXSS CubeSat and summary of science results from the MinXSS-1 mission will be presented. Web site: http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/minxss/

This study shows how large volumes of airborne data can be displayed in a simple format which provides both mapping and exploration geologists with information not easily obtained from the original data. Eleven lines or part-lines from a gamma-ray survey of the Hearne Lake area were chosen as test lines, and airphotos were used to identify outcrops of each rock type and the distribution of overburden, swamp and water along each line. Geological maps were used to locate the test lines and to provide a listing of the rock types in the area. With this information, it was possible to calculate the average radioelement characteristics of each rock type and to group the rock signatures into a number of rock classes.

 Nanosatellites, include the CubeSat course of nanosatellites, are about the size of a shoe box, and the CubeSat modular form component of a Unit (1U is 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 centimeter) was originally defined in 1999 as a calibration for students developing nanosatellites. Over the past two decades, the satellite and instrument technology for nanosatellites have progressed to the sophistication equivalent to the larger satellites, but now available in modest packages through advanced developments by university, government labs, and space industry. For example, the Blue Canyon Technologies (BCT) attitude determination and control system (ADCS) has demonstrated 3 - bloc satellite control from a 0.5 - Unit system with 8 arc - second stability using chemical reaction wheel, torque rods, and a star tracker. The first flight demonstration of the BCT ADCS was for the NASA Miniature X - ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat. The MinXSS CubeSat mission, which was deployed in May 2016 and have its re - entry in May 2017, provided quad weather measurements of the solar soft X - ray (SXR) variability using low - power, miniaturized musical instrument. The MinXSS solar SXR spectra have been extremely useful for exploring flare energetics and also for validate the broadband SXR measurements from the NOAA GOES X - Ray Sensor (XRS).
