    These ozone generators can produce over 3 g of ozone per hour. Ozone often forms in nature under conditions where O 2 will not react. [29] Ozone used in industry is measured in μmol/mol (ppm, parts per million), nmol/mol (ppb, parts per billion), μg/m 3, mg/h (milligrams per hour) or weight percent. The regime of applied concentrations ranges ...

    The first reentry test of a PICA-X heat shield was on the Dragon C1 mission on 8 December 2010. [35] The PICA-X heat shield was designed, developed and fully qualified by a small team of a dozen engineers and technicians in less than four years. [33] PICA-X is ten times less expensive to manufacture than the NASA PICA heat shield material. [36]

    This classification also does not consider ultra-hot Jupiters, which do have nightside clouds. [100] Relative cloud-free atmospheres also exist. [101] Similar to brown dwarfs the composition at hotter temperature (class V or >900 K) [51] is a thick iron cloud deck with silicate clouds (quartz, corundum, fosterite and/or enstatite) on top. This ...
