    Цель работы – обоснование возможности построения предложенной автономной системы. В результате работы задачи оценивания параметров углового движения, оценивания положения центра масс, формирования тормозного импульса, оценки тензора инерции объекта сведены к нахождению линейной несмещенной оценки с минимальной среднеквадратической ошибкой, к нормальному псевдорешению недоопределенной и к решению переопреленной систем алгебраических уравнений. Выполнено численное моделирование функционирования автономной системы, результаты которого подтвердили работоспособность предложенных алгоритмов и, тем самым, принципиальную возможность создания предложенной автономной системы. Предложенная концепция построения автономной системы замедления вращательного движения объекта орбитального сервиса и разработанные алгоритмы ее функционирования могут быть использованы при проектировании космических аппаратов орбитального сервисного обслуживания.Ціль роботи – обґрунтування можливості побудови запропонованої автономної системи. У результаті роботи задачі оцінювання параметрів кутового руху, оцінювання положення центра мас, формування гальмівного імпульсу, оцінки тензора інерції об'єкта зведено до знаходження лінійної незміщеної оцінки з мінімальною середньоквадратичною помилкою, до нормального псевдорозв’язання недовизначеної й до розв’язання перевизначеної систем алгебраїчних рівнянь. Виконано числове моделювання функціонування автономної системи, результати якого підтвердили працездатність запропонованих алгоритмів і, тим самим, принципову можливість створення запропонованої автономної системи. Запропонована концепція побудови автономної системи уповільнення обертового руху об'єкта орбітального сервісу й розроблені алгоритми її функціонування можуть бути використані при проектуванні космічних апаратів орбітального сервісного обслуговування.The aim of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed self-contained system. The problems of estimation of the angular motion parameters and the center of mass position, braking impulse generation, and estimation of the object inertia tensor were reduced to finding the best linear unbiased estimate, the normal pseudosolution of an underdetermined system of algebraic equations, and the solution of an overdetermined one. A numerical simulation of the operation of the self-contained system was conducted, and the simulation results confirmed the operability of the proposed algorithms and thus the principle feasibility of the proposed self-contained system. The proposed concept of the construction of a self-contained system for slowing down the rotation of an object of on-orbit servicing and the system operation algorithm developed may be used in the design of on-orbit servicing spacecraft

    SPACE SYSTEMS: EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND OPERATIONS is our seventh textbook in a series covering the world of UASs / CUAS/ UUVs. Other textbooks in our series are Drone Delivery of CBNRECy – DEW Weapons: Emerging Threats of Mini-Weapons of Mass Destruction and Disruption (WMDD); Disruptive Technologies with applications in Airline, Marine, Defense Industries; Unmanned Vehicle Systems & Operations On Air, Sea, Land; Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technologies and Operations; Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain: Protecting USA’s Advanced Air Assets, 2nd edition; and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the Cyber Domain Protecting USA\u27s Advanced Air Assets, 1st edition. Our previous six titles have received considerable global recognition in the field. (Nichols & Carter, 2022) (Nichols et al., 2021) (Nichols R. K. et al., 2020) (Nichols R. et al., 2020) (Nichols R. et al., 2019) (Nichols R. K., 2018) Our seventh title takes on a new purview of Space. Let\u27s think of Space as divided into four regions. These are Planets, solar systems, the great dark void (which fall into the purview of astronomers and astrophysics), and the Dreamer Region. The earth, from a measurement standpoint, is the baseline of Space. It is the purview of geographers, engineers, scientists, politicians, and romantics. Flying high above the earth are Satellites. Military and commercial organizations govern their purview. The lowest altitude at which air resistance is low enough to permit a single complete, unpowered orbit is approximately 80 miles (125 km) above the earth\u27s surface. Normal Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite launches range between 99 miles (160 km) to 155 miles (250 km). Satellites in higher orbits experience less drag and can remain in Space longer in service. Geosynchronous orbit is around 22,000 miles (35,000 km). However, orbits can be even higher. UASs (Drones) have a maximum altitude of about 33,000 ft (10 km) because rotating rotors become physically limiting. (Nichols R. et al., 2019) Recreational drones fly at or below 400 ft in controlled airspace (Class B, C, D, E) and are permitted with prior authorization by using a LAANC or DroneZone. Recreational drones are permitted to fly at or below 400 ft in Class G (uncontrolled) airspace. (FAA, 2022) However, between 400 ft and 33,000 ft is in the purview of DREAMERS. In the DREAMERS region, Space has its most interesting technological emergence. We see emerging technologies and operations that may have profound effects on humanity. This is the mission our book addresses. We look at the Dreamer Region from three perspectives:1) a Military view where intelligence, jamming, spoofing, advanced materials, and hypersonics are in play; 2) the Operational Dreamer Region; whichincludes Space-based platform vulnerabilities, trash, disaster recovery management, A.I., manufacturing, and extended reality; and 3) the Humanitarian Use of Space technologies; which includes precision agriculture wildlife tracking, fire risk zone identification, and improving the global food supply and cattle management. Here’s our book’s breakdown: SECTION 1 C4ISR and Emerging Space Technologies. C4ISR stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance. Four chapters address the military: Current State of Space Operations; Satellite Killers and Hypersonic Drones; Space Electronic Warfare, Jamming, Spoofing, and ECD; and the challenges of Manufacturing in Space. SECTION 2: Space Challenges and Operations covers in five chapters a wide purview of challenges that result from operations in Space, such as Exploration of Key Infrastructure Vulnerabilities from Space-Based Platforms; Trash Collection and Tracking in Space; Leveraging Space for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management; Bio-threats to Agriculture and Solutions From Space; and rounding out the lineup is a chapter on Modelling, Simulation, and Extended Reality. SECTION 3: Humanitarian Use of Space Technologies is our DREAMERS section. It introduces effective use of Drones and Precision Agriculture; and Civilian Use of Space for Environmental, Wildlife Tracking, and Fire Risk Zone Identification. SECTION 3 is our Hope for Humanity and Positive Global Change. Just think if the technologies we discuss, when put into responsible hands, could increase food production by 1-2%. How many more millions of families could have food on their tables? State-of-the-Art research by a team of fifteen SMEs is incorporated into our book. We trust you will enjoy reading it as much as we have in its writing. There is hope for the future.https://newprairiepress.org/ebooks/1047/thumbnail.jp

    Using Artificial Intelligence to Circumvent the Teacher Shortage in Special Education: A Phenomenological Investigation

    Get PDF
    The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological research study was to understand district technology leaders’ receptivity to employing artificial co-teachers, based on their lived experiences with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Facing a problematic teacher shortage in special education, the Jade County School District was not readily employing available AI technologies such as IBM’s WATSON and MIT Media Lab’s TEGA, to aide in filling the instructional voids caused by special education teacher attrition. Veblen’s theory of technological determinism provided the necessary framework for this study, which focused on how district technology leaders described their willingness or apprehension to employ autonomous machines to independently instruct students with disabilities in the classroom. This research study was carried out in a large public-school district with a high number of special education teacher vacancies. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit 11 district-level technology leaders who were responsible for developing and sharing a vision for how new technology could be employed to support the needs of students. The principal researcher applied hermeneutic phenomenology to interpret data from photo-elicitations, audio-recorded focus groups, and individual interviews
