  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. B-plane orbital resonance analysis and applications

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Alessandro Masat; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many space engineering and orbital mechanics applications seek for the usage of focused mathematical models, capable of providing useful insight onto particular phenomena or exploiting some theoretical and physical tools to reduce the computational costs and/or increase the level of accuracy reached. Orbital resonances are one of the phenomena that needs to be properly modelled, both for exploiting such features in the mission design phase and to predict possible resonant returns of threatening objects closely approaching a specified planet.

  4. 3. Following the central region of the Saturnian nightside plasma sheet

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Dimitrios Tsimpidas; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : We use magnetic field data from Cassini’s on board magnetometer (MAG), plasma measurements by Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) and electron density measurements from the RPWS Langmuir probe (LP) on board Cassini, for an extended set of orbits from 2004 to 2010 and for distances up to 30 Rs from the planet. The central region of the nightside plasma sheet is identified using the radial component of the magnetic field Br, in contrary to solely geometrical criteria used in previous studies, such as the vertical distance z from the equatorial plane.

  5. 4. Solution based methods for synthesis of tin and zinc; wires and thin films

    University essay from Oorganisk kemi

    Author : Sofie Johansson; [2012]
    Keywords : solution based chemistry; sol-gel; nanowires; solar cells;

    Abstract : In this work two different solution based methods have been used for synthesis ofoxide-wires and homogeneous heterometallic oxides of transparent conductingmaterials. The first method used is an aqueous chemical growth (ACG) method for synthesis ofmicrorods and nanowires of zinc oxide and tin dioxide useful for detection of toxicgases. READ MORE
