1. Volumetric Rendering of the Inner Coma of a Theoretically Modelled Comet for Comet Interceptor Mission
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : The Comet Interceptor is a joint mission by European Space Agency (ESA) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) which seeks to perform a flyby over a Long Period Comet using a multi-element spacecraft. The Comet Interceptor comprises three spacecrafts- A, B1 and B2. READ MORE

2. Development of Autonomous Bounding Box Algorithms for OPIC’s Data Prioritization on the Comet Interceptor Mission
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : The joint European Space Agency and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency mission Comet Interceptor seeks to perform a flyby of a Small Solar System Body (SSSB), through use of a multi-element spacecraft. It comprises a primary spacecraft and two subspacecraft, the latter of which will encounter the intercepted object at a small enough distance that its end-of-life might occur at an impact of either the object itself or its potential coma.

3. Particle Trajectory Simulations for SCIENA-N : Conversion surface design for an ENA sensor head
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : This thesis serves as a preliminary design study for the combination of a flight-proven ion optics system (SWIM) with a conversion surface to create a small energetic neutral atom (ENA) sensor. It is planned to use this sensor as ENA sensor for the DFP-SCIENA instrument on Comet Interceptor. READ MORE

4. Accessibility Studies of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids from the Sun-Earth L2 Libration Point
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : A newly proposed F-class mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2019,Comet Interceptor, aims to dynamically intercept a New Solar System Objectsuch as a Dynamically New Comet (DNC). The Spacecraft will be placed in aperiodic (Halo) orbit around the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrangian point, waiting for furtherinstructions about the passage of a comet or an asteroid, which could well bereached within the stipulated mission constraints.

5. 3D Reconstruction of Small SolarSystem Bodies using Rendered and Compressed Images
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknikAbstract : Synthetic image generation and reconstruction of Small Solar System Bodies and theinfluence of compression is becoming an important study topic because of the adventof small spacecraft in deep space missions. Most of these missions are fly-by scenarios,for example in the Comet Interceptor mission. READ MORE
