1. 6. The Pursuit of European Strategic Autonomy : Balancing or Hedging Foreign Policy Behaviour in Relation to Russia?

   University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ekonomi och it

   Author : Bjanka Ilievska; Ruihong Zhao; [2023]
   Keywords : European Union | European Strategic Autonomy | Security and Defence | Foreign Policy Behaviour | Balancing | Hedging | Russia;

   Abstract : Following the publication of the European Union Global Strategy in 2016 where the EU officially announced its quest for European Strategic Autonomy (ESA), a policy initiative toenable EU’s capacity to act autonomously in the realm of security and defence, this study poses the following research question: What type of foreign policy behaviour does the EU exhibit in security and defence through its quest for strategic autonomy? Broadly based in realism, the study is designed as a single case-study of EU foreign policy behaviour in relation to Russia and analyses whether the pursuit of ESA entails a balancing or hedging EU foreign policy behaviour. By doing so, the study contributes theoretically, by disentangling and operationalising these two concepts analytically, and empirically, by applying them to an EU context and investigating their presence.

3. 7. Volumetric Rendering of the Inner Coma of a Theoretically Modelled Comet for Comet Interceptor Mission

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Amal Vinod; [2023]
   Keywords : Volumetric rendering; rendering; Comet; Coma; Dust Coma; Gas Coma; Blender; Comet Interceptor;

   Abstract : 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

4. 8. The tangled Warp of the Milky Way

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Viktor Hrannar Jónsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Galaxy: structure; Galaxy: kinematics and dynamics; Galaxy: disk; Galaxy: evolution; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Context: The Milky Way disc, like the discs of many other spiral galaxies, has been shown to be warped. The growing astrometric data set for stars produced by the Gaia mission allows for more detailed studies of the stellar disc's warp. READ MORE

5. 9. Flight Dynamics Software Industrialisation for Inclined Orbits

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

   Author : Pierrick Houede; [2023]
   Keywords : flight; dynamics; software; FDS; geostationary; orbit; station; keeping; uncontrolled; inclination.;

   Abstract : The geostationary orbit has many applications for Earth observation and telecommunications. Like all satellites, spacecraft in this type of orbit are affected by perturbations. These perturbations can modify the satellites trajectories and, without control, deviate them from their target position. READ MORE

6. 10. Spatial downscaling of gridded soil moisture products using optical and thermal satellite data: the effects of using different vegetation indices

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Tómas Halldórsson Alexander; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Remote Sensing; Soil moisture; Downscaling; Vegetation index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis.
