Naval Research Laboratory scientists have obtained a first-ever measured altitude profile of a dim extreme-ultraviolet terrestrial airglow emission that provides vital information needed to test and improve the accuracy of advanced techniques for remote sensing of the daytime ionosphere. They have obtained this altitude profile using scans from the Remote Atmospheric and Ionospheric Detection System (RAIDS) experiment.

A
researcher working with images from NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory
recently saw something he’d never seen before: a pattern of cells in the
sun’s corona. Using a combination of conventional and magnetic imaging
from several satellites and spacecraft, astronomer were able to build a
3D picture of what was happening on the sun’s surface.

Naval Research Laboratory engineers successfully demonstrated the robotic fluids transfer from a stationary platform to an unmanned surface vehicle in wave heights greater than 3 ft. The Rapid Autonomous Fuel Transfer project exhibits the ability to track the motion of a Sea Fox naval vessel, safely emplace a magnetic refueling fitting to an on-board refueling receptacle, and successfully complete fluids transfer.

Researchers
in the U.K. grew monolayer graphene sheets on copper foil using
chemical vapor deposition (CVD), then attached them to high-Q silicon
nanomechanical oscillators, which allowed them to measure, for the first
time, the stress and strain shear modulus and the internal friction of
the sheets. The result suggest a new application for CVD-grown graphene.

Robotic exploration to remote regions, to include distant planetary bodies, is often limited by energy requirements to perform, in repetition, even the simplest tasks. With this in mind, researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory are looking into a novel approach that could some day aid scientific space and planetary research without the need for power-intense options.

Scientists
at the Naval Research Laboratory scientists have recently discovered
very fast fluorescence emission rates in colloidal nanoplatelets, a new
class of optical materials that are essentially atomically flat. If they
can be used in future emitters, they would feature wide tunability and
short decay time.

The Naval Research Laboratory Vehicle Research Section has successfully completed flight tests for the Autonomous Deployment Demonstration program. The final demonstration took place Sept. 1 at the Yuma Proving Grounds, Yuma, Ariz., and consisted of a series of eight balloon-drops at altitudes of up to 57,000 ft, delivering sensor-emplacement Close-In Covert Autonomous Disposable Aircraft vehicles within 15 ft of their intended landing locations.

A Naval Research Laboratory instrument designed to study the
Earth's thermosphere is part of a future science mission that has been
selected
by NASA for evaluation for flight.
