NOTE TO AUTHORS OF PROSPECTIVE ENTRIES: The compilation of this bibliography results from a complete search of the STAR and IAA files. Many times a report or article is not identified because either the title, abstract, or key words did not contain appropriate words for the search. A number of words are used, but to best insure that your work is included in the bibliography, use the words Large Space Structures somewhere in your title or abstract, or include them as a key word. This supplement is available from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), Springfield, Virginia 22161 at the price code A06 ($13.00 domestic; $26.00 foreign). INTRODUCTION This bibliography is designed to be helpful to the researcher and manager engaged in developing technology within the discipline areas of the Large Space Systems Technology. Also, the designers of large space systems for approved missions (in the future) will utilize the technology described in the documents referenced herein. This literature survey lists 414 reports, articles and other documents announced between July 1, 1982 and December 31, 1982 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR), and International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The coverage includes documents that define specific missions that will require large space structures to achieve their objectives. The methods of integrating advanced technology into system configurations and ascertaining the resulting capabilities is also addressed. A wide range of structural concepts are identified. These include erectable structures which are earth fabricated and space assembled, deployable platforms and deployable antennas which are fabricated, assembled, and packaged on Earth with automatic deployment in space, and space fabricated structures which use pre-processed materials to build the structure in orbit. The supportive technology that is necessary for full utilization of these concepts is also included. These technologies are identified as analysis and design techniques, structural and thermal analysis, structural dynamics and control, electronics, advanced materials, assembly concepts, and propulsion. A General category completes the list of subjects addressed by this document. The selected items are grouped into ten categories as listed in the Table of Contents with notes regarding the scope of each category. These categories were especially selected for this publication and differ from those normally found in STAR and IAA. Each entry consists of a standard bibliographic citation accompanied by an abstract where available, and appears with the original accession numbers from the respective announcement journals. Under each of the ten categories, the entries are presented in one of two groups that appear in the following order: 1) IAA entries identified by accession number series A82-10,000 in ascending accession number order; 2) STAR entries identified by accession number series N82-10,000 in ascending accession number order. After the abstract section there are six indexes - subject, personal author, corporate source, contract number, report number, and accession number. |
