Long-duration proximity operations flexibly optimized for efficient inspection and servicing using free-orbit dynamics
… Error in relative position, angular rate of circumnavigation, and fuel use to enforce linearized periodic trajectories are characterized. It was determined that proximity operations utilizing low-thrust high-specific-impulse solar electric propulsion are well-suited to minimum-energy …

Between two worlds: Americans and Soviets after the Bolshevik Revolution
… foreclosed for migrants. An epilogue follows the circumnavigation of a group of refugees and aid workers through outposts of U.S. empire. Highlighting movement and multidirectional interaction, these histories challenge pervasive narratives about Americans and Russians as nationally, …

Shugborough Hall, the Ansons and the Eighteenth-Century British Empire
… Hall is inextricably linked with George Anson’s circumnavigation voyage, but this was only one episode in the family’s multifaceted relationship with imperialism. This thesis investigates the Ansons’ economic, political and cultural links to the British Empire in the eighteenth-century, in order …

Toward an improved understanding of the Southern Ocean's biological pump: phytoplankton group-specific contributions to nitrogen and carbon cycling across the Subantarctic Indian Ocean
… Indian basin during the 2016/17 Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) cruise. The data show that all phytoplankton populations preferentially utilize nitrate (≥55%) across the Indian Sector of the Subantarctic, potentially driving higher C export potential than previously estimated. …

Angles-only navigation technique for maneuver-free spacecraft proximity operations
… navigation technique for natural motion circumnavigation trajectories without prior knowledge of the Target's state. An analytical proof is developed to compliment and verify the results.

Writing at the Edge of the Empire: The Poetics of Piracy in the Early Modern Atlantic World
… nature of empire. For Dampier, representing his circumnavigation of the globe as the adventure-quest of a troupe of knights-errant allows him to imagine a global space in which pirates could create a society completely free from constraints of imperial governance. Ultimately, my dissertation …

On the Road to Meikle Seggie: Richard Demarco's Edinburgh Arts Journeys 1972-80
… Arts journey, in 1980, which involved a circumnavigation of the British Isles in nine stages on The Marques, beginning from Fowey in Cornwall, including visits to the Channel Islands, Wales, Eire, Northern Ireland and Scotland (Arran, Argyll, Iona, Skye, Wester Ross and Orkney), returning …

Leuchtkäfer & Orgelkoralle
Leuchtende Käfer und Medusen, phosphoreszierende Meereswellen oder zu Stein erstarrende Korallen faszinierten den bisher vornehmlich als Dichter portraitierten Naturforscher Adelbert von Chamisso (1781–1838). Intensiver noch als den zoologischen und geologischen Phänomenen, widmete er sich der …
