Mirror carriage

Another way to free the mirror carriage from the high precision requirement is to use retroreflectors instead of flat mirrors. Then a small tilt of the reflector does not matter. The original instrument of Fellgett used comer cubes. High precision requirements are shifted from the motor design to that of the reflector, where they are easier to handle, but are still not trivial. The Cassini spacecraft (to arrive at Saturn in July 2004) and the Mars Express spacecraft (to arrive at Mars in December... 

The impact velocity, Vo, was measured by a low-power laser light which strikes a mirror mounted on the impactor carriage. The mirror, with six black lines spaced 10 mm apart, reflects the laser beam into a photodiode which records the passage of the black lines and hence the translation of the impact carriage. The impact velocity, which is a function of the barrel pressure, P the barrel cross-sectional area, A the impactor carriage travel, d and its mass, m, was thus computed. A calibration curve was then established by a straight-line fit of the plot of Vo versus P.

The mirror M2 is mounted on a carriage and can be moved, resulting in a continuous change of AIn the plane B, one obtains maximum intensity when both amplitudes have the same phase, which means A.y = mA, and minimum intensity if = (2m + l)A/2. With increasing A.y, the contrast V = (I ax /min)/(/max + /min) decreases (Fig. 2.31) and vanishes if A.y becomes larger than the coherence length Asc (Sect. 2.9.4). Experiments show that A. c is related to the spectral width Aco of the incident wave by...

When a carrier engages in intrastate transportation (never crossing state lines, never furthering interstate commerce), they are subject to the financial responsibility requirements of the state of intrastate operation. The requirements vary by jurisdiction. Some mirror the interstate requirements others set their own levels based upon t3q)e of carrier/ commodity. Private and for-hire carriers of property or passengers shoidd verify the rules for intrastate motor carriage before beginning operations.
