1. Ageing process analysis of solar panels in graveyard geostationaryorbit for reusability potential
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknikAbstract : The constant growth of space debris and the associated risks force the space community to find solutions to mitigate them. Today the most advanced solutions to dispose of satellites and rocket stages after the end of mission consists of moving them either into a graveyard orbit or towards an atmospheric re-entry ending in the demise of both spacecraft and its materials.

2. Investigation of Antenna Radomes in Low Earth Orbits
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesAbstract : Introduction: This master’s thesis focuses on exploring improved alternative material solutions for antenna radomes used to protect Beyond Gravity Sweden’s satellite antennas in low Earth orbits. Background: As the environment in low Earth orbit is harsh, surface materials on satellites experience high levels of atomic oxygen, ultra violet radiation, thermal-fluctuation, charged particles and micro meteoroids.

3. Improving the understanding of photoelectron currents on Solar Orbiter : Utilizing theory and empirical measurements
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, UppsalaavdelningenAbstract : Spacecraft experience electric currents on conductive materials exposed to sunlight, which introduces noise in scientific data. These currents are mainly due to the photoelectric effect and should therefore be proportional to the inverse square heliocentric distance. READ MORE

4. Analysis and Design of a Microgravity Drop Tower
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : A drop tower is a device that produces a microgravity environment by allowing an experiment to free fall for a short period of time, usually less than 10 seconds. Certain types of drop towers are also capable of reproducing the gravitational conditions of other celestial bodies, such as Lunar and Martian gravity. READ MORE

5. Small Satellite Design for High Sensitivity Magnetic Measurements
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknikAbstract : The magnetic cleanliness of a spacecraft during magnetic measurements is an important aspect in the design of many space science missions. The adequate reduction or removal of the spacecraft's magnetic disturbance plays a vital role in allowing the ambient magnetic field to be measured with the required accuracy. READ MORE
