  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Outer Space Regime and the Issue of Space Debris, An analysis on the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space on space debris from 2006 to 2019

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för globala studier

    Author : Paula Nunes Tartari; [2022-03-04]
    Keywords : Space Debris; Regime Theory; COPUOS; Outer Space; UNOOSA; Kessler effect; Long-term Sustainability.;

    Abstract : With several actors entering the space scene and the skyrocketed increase in the launches, space exploration has become more complex, so does the challenges related to the threat posed by space debris. To deal with this matter, the United Nations adopted the Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines, and later, the Long-Term Sustainability Guidelines. READ MORE

  4. 3. FORESAIL-2 AOCS Trade Studies and Design

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Guillaume Le Bonhomme; [2020]
    Keywords : space engineering; CubeSat; ADCS; AOCS; spacecraft subystems; nanosatellite;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to design a reliable CubeSat platform, including the avionic subsystems that can sustain a high radiation environment for a mission having a lifetime of at least six months. The science instruments put stringent requirements on the platform to achieve and maintain the desired spin rate. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a Low Earth Orbit Mission Preliminary Analysis Tool

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Giada Staniscia; [2019]
    Keywords : Mission analysis; CubeSat; Propulsion; Low Earth Orbit LEO ; Perturbations; Atmospheric drag; Earth oblateness.;

    Abstract : The objective of this project is the development of a mission analysis tool for the nanosatellite company GomSpace Sweden. Although there are many existing software, they can be quite complicated and time consuming to use. READ MORE

  6. 5. Laser Orbital Derbis Removal : Studies of Spacecraft Debris Removal Using Ground Based Lasers

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Kajsa Eriksson Rosenkvist; [2019]
    Keywords : Laser; Orbital; Debris; Removal;

    Abstract : Overcrowding of the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) region is a growing problem. Decades of treating this part of space like a scrap yard has caused it to become a hazardous environment for operating satellites. READ MORE
