Design Methodology and Performance Evaluation of New Generation Sounding Rockets

Sounding rockets are currently deployed for the purpose of providing experimental data of the upper atmosphere, as well as for microgravity experiments. This work provides a methodology in order to design, model, and evaluate the performance of new sounding rockets. A general configuration composed of a rocket with four canards and four tail wings is sized and optimized, assuming different payload masses and microgravity durations. The aerodynamic forces are modeled with high fidelity using the interpolation of available data.

Progress report: ICNIRP statement on non-ionizing radiation for cosmetic purposes

Novel cosmetic applications of electromagnetic fields, optical radiation and ultrasound have the potential for adverse effects on persons undergoing treatment and workers performing treatment. A new ICNIRP Project Group has the task of drawing up a Statement on the types of device available, the types and severity of possible adverse effects and the adequacy of existing regulation and guidelines. This presentation will provide an overview of methods and preliminary results and a forum for discussion with conference participants.
