Abstract:The author wishes to thank the following individuals for their contributions: • Rajen Chanchani (1745) for overseeing the implementation of the BCB/Cu HDI process at Sandia and the lithographic fabrication of the stator windings in this project. • Denise B. Webb (1745) for fabricating the wafers. • Donald Bethke (1745) for assisting with the wafer processing. • Cynthia D. Blain (2339) for soldering leads on to the wafer. • Michael P. Saavedra (14184) for cutting the permanent magnets on the micro-EDM machine. … Show more
“…The current meteoroid engineering models for space applications in the inner Solar system are NASA's Meteoroid Engineering Model or MEM (McNamara et al 2004;Jones 2004;Moorhead et al 2015) and ESA's Interplanetary Meteoroid Environment Model or IMEM (Dikarev et al , 2004. The NASA MEM uses a simple dynamical model, along with data from the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR), and zodiacal light observations from Helios to define the radial distribution.…”
Section: Modeling the Interplanetary Dust Cloudmentioning
Interplanetary dust particles and meteoroids mostly originate from comets and asteroids. Understanding their distribution in the Solar system, their dynamical behavior and their properties, sheds light on the current state and the dynamical behavior of the Solar system. Dust particles can endanger Earth-orbiting satellites and deep-space probes, and a good understanding of the spatial density and velocity distribution of dust and meteoroids in the Solar system is important for designing proper spacecraft shielding.
