A year in orbit: ISS deployment tests radiation detectors for future space missions
The predawn darkness on a cool Florida night was shattered by the ignition of nine Merlin engines on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The thrust of the engines shook the ground miles away. From a distance, the rocket appeared to slowly rise above the horizon. For the cargo onboard, the launch was anything but gentle, as the ignition of liquid oxygen generated more than 1.5 million pounds of force. After the rocket had been out of sight for several minutes, the booster dramatically returned to Earth with several sonic booms in a captivating show of engineering designed to make space travel less expensive and more sustainable.

This paper presents systematic build-up for the development of unified theory for calculating total iron losses (eddy-current and hysteresis) in the ferromagnetic structural components of the fusion Tokamak reactor as well as in the hybrid model of E-BT. Modes of fields induction associated with Helmholtz field radiation function and Maxwell field equations have been used to analyze the various field components throughout the fusion operational cycle.
