(Paper No. IV-1 ) Authors: Kuriki, K.; Nagatomo, M.; Obayashi, T.; (Institute of Space & Astronautical Science> Keywords: prototype systems, solar cells, microwaves, lasers, transportation, environmental effects Abstract: Japan Space Energetics and Environment Laboratory (JSEEL) is an experimental facility complex which belongs to and receives services from the Space Station. JSEEL is totally dedicated to the Space Energy Exploitation and Environment Welfare or more specifically to the techological development and the ATTACHMENT : environment associated with the Space Power Satellite (SPS). Mission solicited from ISAS and coordinated in JSEEL are: l)Space Plasma Experiment (SPEX) 2)Advanced Propulsion Test (APT) 3)Space Radar (SRADAR) 4)Microwave Energy Transmission Test (METT) 5)Solar Array Deployment (SADE) 6)Space Laser (SLASER) Title: CO gasdynamic laser and its improvement in space technology 2 Source: Proceedings of the Second ISAS Space Energy Symposium, Institute of Space & Astronautical Science, 4-6-1 Komaba, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 153, Japan, Dec. 13-14, 1982. (Paper No. IV-12) Authors: Maeno, Kazuo; (Dept, of Mechanical Engineering. Muroran Institute of Technology> Keywords: lasers, space energy conversion Abstract: The characteristics of CO Gasdynamic Laser (GDL) and the improved 2 schemes of CO GDL or other high power lasers are discussed. As for the 2 ATTACHMENT : conventional CO GDL, typical performance is estimated by the 2 calculation based upon quasi-one dimensionality, three-mode relaxation equations in direct temperature expression with radiation terms. An ameliorated scheme of CO Mixing GDL (MGDL) is characterized by the estimation based upon 2 instantaneous mixing assumption. Furthermore, several candidates of the high power laser for space technology are represented. Title: A proposed optical pumping system requiring no electric power Source: Proceedings of the AFOSR Special Conference on Prime-Power for High Energy Space Systems, Norfolk, Virginia, USA, Feb. 22-25, 1982. (Paper No. VI-6) Authors: Phillips, Bert R.; (NASA-Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio) Keywords: lasers, alternative systems, materials and coatings Abstract: A method is available for optically pumping a fluid without electrical power. The method is based on utilizing the radiation from a me tai-oxidant combustion reaction that is contained within a transparent tube that is immersed in the medium to be pumped. The reaction initiation and maintenance occurs by ATTACHMENT : gas dynamically induced resonance within the transparent cavity. All that is required is a supply of high pressure oxidant and metallic powder. Materials that have been successfully evaluated to date include aluminum, steel, magnesium and titanium.
