  1. 1. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
    Keywords : Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

    Abstract : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. READ MORE

  3. 2. Initial Orbit Determination of Resident Space Objects From A Passive Optical Imaging System: : Application to Space Situational Awareness

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Jessica McKenna; [2023]
    Keywords : Space Situational Awareness; Space Science; Angles-Only Initial Orbit Determination;

    Abstract : The probability of satellite collisions and disintegrations cluttering the near-Earth orbital environmentis ever-growing. This is especially true for the congested Low Earth Orbit (LEO) regime; once a critical density of objects is reached, a collisional cascading is projected to generate runaway growth of theorbital population.

  4. 3. Feasibility study of initial orbit determination with open astronomical data

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Linn Mattsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Space situational awareness; Space surveillance and tracking; Image analyse; Streak detection algorithm; Initial orbit determination; Rymdlägesbild; Bildanalys; Algoritm för streck detektering; Initial banbestämning;

    Abstract : In this report I present a feasibility study of using open astronomical data to make Initial Orbit Determination (IOD) for Resident Space Objects (RSO) appearing as streaks in telescope images. The purpose is to contribute to Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) for maintaining Space Situation Awareness (SSA). READ MORE

  5. 4. Regional and local impacts of the ENSO and IOD events of 2015 and 2016 on the Indian Summer Monsoon - A Bhutan case study

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Katherine Power; [2021]
    Keywords : ENSO; Monsoon; IOD; Bhutan;

    Abstract : The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) plays a vital role in the livelihoods and economy of those living on the Indian subcontinent, including the small, mountainous country of Bhutan. The ISM fluctuates over varying temporal scales and its variability is related to many internal and external factors including the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).

  6. 5. Space Situational Awareness with the Swedish Allsky Meteor Network

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

    Author : Simon Alinder; [2019]
    Keywords : SSA; space situational awareness; IOD; initial orbit determination; orbit determination; satellite identification; all-sky; rymdlägessituation; SSA; omloppsbana; banbestämning;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the use of the Swedish Allsky Meteor Network (SAMN) for observing, identifying, and determining the orbits of satellites. The overall goal of this project is to determine the feasibility of using such a network for Space Situational Awareness (SSA) purposes, which requires identification and monitoring of objects in orbit.
