  1. 1. Transportation Study of Release from a Space Elevator to Cislunar Space

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Daniel Griffin; [2023]
    Keywords : Space Elevator; Cislunar Space; Mass Transportation; Astronaut Safety; Apex Anchor; Rymdhiss; Cislunar-rymden; Masstransport; Astronautsäkerhet; Apex-ankaret;

    Abstract : To leave Earth’s gravity well and ascend into Cislunar space takes ingenuity, and the engineering feats of many. Now to propel humanity further into space, rockets will need assistance to provide the large requirements of mass to be used for space structures. READ MORE

  3. 2. Design and investigation of a pulsating heat pipe for electronic cooling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Sulafa Hammad; [2023]
    Keywords : Pulsating heat pipes PHP ; Electronic cooling; two phase flow heat transfer; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to design and investigate a pulsating heat pipe device (PHP). A PHP is a two-phase flow heat transfer device which can handle high heat fluxes with passive internal flow. It is made of a continuous loop serpentine, partially filled with a working fluid that can cool systems, such as electronic devices. READ MORE

  4. 3. Lunar Gravity Assist for Electric Propulsion Satellite - For Moving Satellites to Build a Space Sunshade

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Love Dickéus; [2022]
    Keywords : Geoengineering; Electric Propulsion; Gravity Assist; Lunar Gravity Assist;

    Abstract : One idea to stop the increasing threat of global warming is to build a space sunshade, made up of a constellation of satellites to reflect a portion of the sunlight. These satellites need to reach an equilibrium point where they can stay in orbit with minimal adjustments. READ MORE

  5. 4. Multiple fly-by for interplanetary missions

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Javier Chivite Sierra; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Current state-of-the-art of propulsion system for space vehicles does not allow to deliver therequired payload for the mission to all bodies in the Solar System. Therefore, alternatives havebeen developed to reach those bodies without having the necessary technology. READ MORE

  6. 5. Simulation and Study of Gravity Assist Maneuvers

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Ignacio Santos; [2020]
    Keywords : B-Plane; Gravity assist maneuver; Interplanetary orbit transfer; Oberth effect; Periapsis; Simulation model; Space exploration; Trajectory planning.;

    Abstract : This thesis takes a closer look at the complex maneuver known as gravity assist, a popular method of interplanetary travel. The maneuver is used to gain or lose momentum by flying by planets, which induces a speed and direction change. READ MORE
