“…In selecting multi-stage combined schemes for solid rockets, Meng et al [136] used power generalized weighted aggregation in making a good trade-off of all critical attributes. Some special considerations of designs, reliability analysis, and manufacturing of space products as well as recent advances of reliability analysis methods have been thoroughly discussed by Yung et al [137].…”

This paper aims to present a comprehensive survey on information integration (II) in space informatics. With an ever-increasing scale and dynamics of complex space systems, II has become essential in dealing with the complexity, changes, dynamics, and uncertainties of space systems. The applications of space II (SII) require addressing some distinctive functional requirements (FRs) of heterogeneity, networking, communication, security, latency, and resilience; while limited works are available to examine recent advances of SII thoroughly. This survey helps to gain the understanding of the state of the art of SII in sense that (1) technical drivers for SII are discussed and classified; (2) existing works in space system development are analyzed in terms of their contributions to space economy, divisions, activities, and missions; (3) enabling space information technologies are explored at aspects of sensing, communication, networking, data analysis, and system integration; (4) the importance of first-time right (FTR) for implementation of a space system is emphasized, the limitations of digital twin (DT-I) as technological enablers are discussed, and a concept digital-triad (DT-II) is introduced as an information platform to overcome these limitations with a list of fundamental design principles; (5) the research challenges and opportunities are discussed to promote SII and advance space informatics in future.INDEX TERMS Information integration (II), space informatics, digital triad (DT-II), internet of digital-triad things (IoDTT), first-time right (FTR), space information integration (SII).

Space optical instruments play a pivotal role in enhancing our understanding of the universe and our planet, and are crucial in addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change. In this context, stray light has emerged as a primary performance limitation. Originating from ghost reflections or scattering, it obscures essential details and introduces false information into images. With the demand for increasingly high-performing instruments, mitigation through hardware optimization is becoming insufficient. We are entering an era where future instruments require a stray light correction algorithm to meet user specifications, necessitating extensive on-ground calibration. This paper examines the Metop-3MI Earth observation instrument, which, with wide field of view, broad spectral range, and multi-polarization capabilities, epitomizes the challenges of stray light calibration and correction. A custom calibration apparatus was constructed to evaluate the complex stray light dependence on field-of-view, wavelength, and polarization. Data were processed, and stray light kernels database was derived, which then fed into a specially developed correction algorithm. Applied to the image of an extended scene, it effectively reduces stray light by a remarkable factor of 91. This achievement sets a new standard for low-stray-light instruments and provides a comprehensive case study for future missions.

A Numerical Study on Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Composite Cylindrical Skirts for Solid Propeller Rockets

A solid rocket motor (SRM) is a rocket engine that uses a fuel/oxidizer mixture in a solid state; the most commonly employed propellants are Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) as the fuel and ammonium/potassium perchlorate as the oxidizer. To increase the flight range of this kind of vehicle, the weight has to be reduced as much as possible. A possible element that can be worked on is the coating of the combustion chamber: the skirt. The aim of this paper is to investigate the behavior of a cylindrical skirt subjected to internal pressure load and axial thrust and to compare the performance of a skirt made of a standard steel for aeronautics purposes with a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite skirt. The motor test case is taken from the ONERA C1xb and the flowfield is simulated with an axisymmetric k-ω turbulence model. The carbon-fiber-reinforced composite skirt is a cylindrical shell with a symmetric and balanced layup [90/0/45/−45]s. To check composite layer integrity, Hashin’s failure criteria were adopted while linearized buckling methods were used to assess the buckling behavior of the skirt. The composite layup was modeled by adopting the classical laminate theory.
