Analytical Model for Performance Evaluation of Ablative Plasma Pulsed Thruster

0 comments

This analytical model was created for a future version of micro-satellite µsat (also known as Victor) which was developed and built by the Centro de Investigaciones Aplicadas (IUA) in Argentina. Victor was launched on 29 August 1996 by Molniya-M from Plesetsk.

The model allows to make a quick evaluation of Ablative Pulsed Plasma Thrusters (APPT) performances for preliminary design purposes. It works very well for capacitors delivering low energies and for APPT coaxial geometries.

The paper hereafter presents the very first results. An improved version of this paper giving better predictions was published on Journal of Propulsion of Power (year 2004, vol. 20, n°6, pages 970 to 977) available on http://www.aiaa.org.

HTDA : How To Destroy Angels

Tag
0 comments

First appearance of Trent Reznor since the end of Nine Inch Nails in the very new band "How To Destroy Angels". There's no much information about this band. Pitchfork indicates that "How To Destroy Angels" is Reznor's collaboration with his wife Mariqueen Maandig. The first single, "A Drowning" reminds us very well the typical sound and musical style of Nine Inch Nails (in fact, this song was mixed by Alan Moulder, who has worked with Nine Inch Nails in the past). The female voice of Mariqueen (formerly of West Indian Girl) gives a new freshness. This summer HTDA will release a 6-song debut EP... Wait and see...

Some videos about probably sequences and loops which we will found on the upcoming EP are available at http://howtodestroyangels.com
