**Stephen Samples***University of California, Los Angeles*

CubeSats enable a wide range of important, low-cost space missions, leveraging increasing densification of electronics and communications equipment to perform tasks previously in the realm of much larger spacecraft. CubeSats in sizes of 3U-12U are a promising platform for future NASA exploration and science missions, including lunar remote sensing, NEO exploration, and planetary defense, but currently lack the high ΔV propulsion required for these exciting applications. Ion thrusters are currently the best option for low power, mN range EP as required for high ΔV SmallSat missions. These thrusters are inherently more efficient than other options such as RF or Microwave, and are capable of high total impulse. This work aims to realize these advantages at the low power, miniature scale.

I propose a multi-pronged approach for the improvement of the TRL 4 MiXI thruster for miniature spacecraft and precision flying applications. By incorporating lessons learned from the UCLA Plasma and Space Propulsion Lab’s MARCI experiment, the discharge efficiency of MiXI will be improved to that of larger, conventional ion thrusters, resulting in a final system with >70% total efficiency, under 100W operation, Isp >1500s, >1000m/s ΔV capability on 3-12U CubeSats, and 0.1-1.55mN thrust.

Computational simulations and experimental validations will be undertaken to optimize the MARCI discharge for a miniature ion thruster, which will then be integrated into the heritage MiXI thruster. New grids will be designed for the resulting change in discharge conditions. Flight-worthy miniature cathodes will be implemented as electron sources for the discharge and beam neutralization while minimizing propellant and power usage. The resulting enhanced MiXI will be characterized within the Plasma & Space Propulsion Lab’s Miniature Electric Propulsion Test Facility to establish throttle curves and performance. Lifetime will be assessed through a 1000-hour grid life validation test and extended to 30000 hours through NSTAR models. Finally, the thruster will be assembled into a complete propulsion subsystem and tested within a spacecraft analog in simulated space conditions for TRL 6 maturation.

This development effort promises to enable low power missions with high ΔV, high propellant efficiency, and high electrical efficiency. Miniature ion thruster development is a NASA identified enabling technology for missions in planetary science, heliophysics, and astronomy, with the primary application of SmallSat and CubeSat primary propulsion. This work will address the primary obstacle for widespread adoption of miniature ion thrusters. This will be accomplished by dramatically improving the electrical efficiency of MiXI through the implementation of a novel discharge topology, and demonstration of a propulsion system capable of >1,000m/s ΔV for SmallSat missions.

This is an appeal by the plaintiff from an award of the Full Industrial Board denying her workmen^ compensation benefits for the death of her husband. The award was entered October 2, 1972, and the Record of the Proceedings before the board was timely filed with the Clerk of the court November 3, 1972. Appellant’s brief was ■ filed January 2, 1973.

Appellee’s brief, filed January 30, 1973, asserts that the Record of Proceedings does not contain an assignment of errors. Appellant has filed no reply brief nor has she in any manner asserted that the record does contain an assignment of errors. Our own inspection of the record likewise fails to reveal an assignment.

Fid. Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413, 415-16 (1923).

-2-

Stephen L. Hawks, appearing pro se, appeals the district court’s dismissal

of his civil rights suit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under the

Rooker-Feldman doctrine.1

 We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. 

Exercising de novo review, see Kiowa Indian Tribe of Okla. v. Hoover, 150 F.3d

1163, 1165 (10th Cir. 1998), we affirm. 

Mr. Hawks’ dispute with the defendants, primarily the current and former

Texas Attorneys General, arises out of two Texas child-support orders. In 1988,

the state court issued a decree of divorce including certain child-support

provisions. In 1999, the state court issued a modified child-support order

amending the support provisions. Mr. Hawks contends that the Attorney

General’s office did not properly apply and enforce these orders, so that he was

incorrectly assessed with child-support arrearages. 

Relying on the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, this court affirmed the district

court’s dismissal of a separate lawsuit against current Texas Attorney General

Greg Abbott. Hawks v. Abbott, 365 F. App’x 124 (10th Cir. 2010) (Hawks I). 

Mr. Hawks concedes on appeal that the claims in Hawks I and in this case are

“almost identical in Subject Matter.” Aplt. Br. at 1. Because Mr. Hawks seeks to

assert in this suit the same type of claims that Hawks I held to be precluded by the

GRANTED. All other pending motions are DENIED.

# United Nations Day, 2010 

Sixty-five years ago, 51 nations came together in the aftermath of one of history’s most devastating wars to rededicate themselves to peace, justice, and progress.  The founders of the United Nations vowed to work together to ensure that the horrors seen in World War II would never be repeated.  On United Nations Day, we join our friends around the world in reflecting on our shared interests and renewing our commitment to international law, common security, accountability, and prosperity for all peoples.

The United Nations has made great advances since it first developed out of ruin and genocide, and, today, this partnership includes 192 member states.  Throughout its journey to live up to its founding values, it has remained an indispensable vehicle for coordinated action to tackle global problems.  In a time when we face challenges such as nuclear proliferation, climate change, transnational terrorism, food security risks, and pandemic disease, we must work as one to build the kind of world we want to see in the 21st century.

This vital international body provides a forum and framework for leaders to come together to advance our shared ideals.  Through its broad range of peace operations, it helps limit and resolve conflicts that could otherwise threaten the security of individuals and the stability of nations.  The United Nations’ humanitarian assistance lifts up countless lives, supporting nations in meeting the most immediate human needs and in building their own capabilities.  Its history of rushing assistance to disaster victims was reflected this year in its response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, which also claimed the lives of many United Nations officers.  And, through its health, education, and development programs, the United Nations is helping empower the next generation of world leaders.  Although difficulties remain, the dialogue fostered and actions taken by the United Nations will continue to strengthen the foundations of freedom across the globe.

Though the future we envision for all the world’s children may not come easily, the founding of the United Nations itself is a testament to human progress.  Let us continue to be guided by its founders’ soaring example, and move through the conflicts and divisions of our time to a day when people from every part of this world can live together in peace.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 24, 2010, as United Nations Day.  I urge the Governors of the 50 States, and the officials of all other areas under the flag of the United States, to observe United Nations Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fifth.
