    Electromagnetic Launching Systems To Geosynchronously Equatorial Orbit in Space and Cost Calculations
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2017) Inger, Erk; Inger, Erk
    Electromagnetic launching mass driver system (projectile) has been examined and evaluated as an eligible alternative to the chemical propulsion systems, in space transportation. The projectile has been arranged to reach to its orbital speed at delivered altitude, with an energy transferred externally to a projectile all the flyway through the electromagnetic launcher. The multistage electromagnetic launcher structure contains the capacitors for storing energy and transfers this energy through a switching inductor to a mass driver. The mass driver is synchronously being energized by a voltage through an oscillating coil-capacitor circuit. This paper presents dependence and optimization of design and performance parameters of coilgun equations. Cost estimations of electromagnetic launching system are also calculated in energy per unit mass.

    A Study on the Performance of Magnetic Material Identification System by Sift-Brisk and Neural Network Methods

    Industry requires low-cost, low-power consumption, and autonomous remote sensing systems for detecting and identifying magnetic materials. Magnetic anomaly detection is one of the methods that meet these requirements. This paper aims to detect and identify magnetic materials by the use of magnetic anomalies of the Earth's magnetic field created by some buried materials. A new measurement system that can determine the images of the upper surfaces of buried magnetic materials is developed. The system consists of a platform whose position is automatically controlled in x-axis and y-axis and a KMZ51 anisotropic magneto-resistive sensor assembly with 24 sensors mounted on the platform. A new identification system based on scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT)-binary robust invariant scalable keypoints (BRISKs) as keypoint and descriptor, respectively, is developed for identification by matching the similar images of magnetic anomalies. The results are compared by the conventional principal component analysis and neural net algorithms. On the six selected samples and the combinations of these samples, 100% correct classification rates were obtained.
