An advanced technology space station for the year 2025, study and concepts

A survey was made of potential space station missions that might exist in the 2020 to 2030 time period. Also, a brief study of the current state-of-the-art of the major subsystems was undertaken, and trends in technologies that could impact the subsystems were reviewed. The results of the survey and study were then used to arrive at a conceptual design of a space station for the year 2025. Factors addressed in the conceptual design included requirements for artificial gravity, synergies between subsystems, and the use of robotics. Suggestions are made relative to more in-depth studies concerning the conceptual design and alternative configurations

Analysis of a rotating advanced-technology space station for the year 2025

An analysis is made of several aspects of an advanced-technology rotating space station configuration generated under a previous study. The analysis includes examination of several modifications of the configuration, interface with proposed launch systems, effects of low-gravity environment on human subjects, and the space station assembly sequence. Consideration was given also to some aspects of space station rotational dynamics, surface charging, and the possible application of tethers

Some operational aspects of a rotating advanced-technology space station for the year 2025

The study of an Advanced Technology Space Station which would utilize the capabilities of subsystems projected for the time frame of the years 2000 to 2025 is discussed. The study includes tradeoffs of nuclear versus solar dynamic power systems that produce power outputs of 2.5 megawatts and analyses of the dynamics of the spacecraft of which portions are rotated for artificial gravity. The design considerations for the support of a manned Mars mission from low Earth orbit are addressed. The studies extend to on-board manufacturing, internal gas composition effects, and locomotion and material transfer under artificial gravity forces. The report concludes with an assessment of technology requirements for the Advanced Technology Space Station

Sistema Nacional de Pesquisa Neonatal en Uruguay

En la década del 60 se gestó la idea de detectar enfermedades prevenibles, modificandolos factores ambientales para atenuar el curso natural de la enfermedad. Muchos paísesen América en la década del 90 comenzaron sus programas, Uruguay entre ellos. Hoy elSistema Nacional de Pesquisa Neonatal en este país es una realidad. Se detectan deforma obligatoria 4 enfermedades y defectos de la audición. Además está en marcha unprograma piloto por Espectrometría de Masa para 20 enfermedades: aminoacidopatías,defectos de la beta oxidación y acidemias orgánicas. Se presentan los algoritmosutilizados y los resultados obtenidos en nuestro país
