  1. 1. Design of a 2-D Lattice Flower Constellation for Earth observation applying the twin satellite concept

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Julia Martín-Fuertes Brañas; [2023]
    Keywords : 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; number of satellites; number of planes; revisit time; coverage; optimized constellation; target list; twin satellite concept; FreeFlyer; 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; antal satelliter; antal plan; återbesökstid; täckning; optimerad konstellation; mållista; tvilling-satellit-koncept; FreeFlyer;

    Abstract : Events such as forest fires or floods are a danger to our Earth’s environment and the people living in it. The sooner they can be detected, the less damage they can cause. An idea arises: use satellites to monitor the Earth and relay information to prevention and rescue organizations in a very short time, regardless of accessibility from ground. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development and Implementation of Techniques for the Simulation and Processing for Future SAR Systems

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

    Author : Tim Kinnunen; [2023]
    Keywords : Synthetic Aperture Radar; SAR; Reverse Backprojection Algorithm; RBPA; Backprojection Algorithm; SAR simulator; SAR processing;

    Abstract : Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a type of radar system that can generate high-resolution images with which one can detect subtle changes on the scale of centimetres from space. It can operate in any weather condition and during both day and night, making it unique compared to optical sensors. READ MORE

  4. 3. Where there is road, there is fire (influence): An exploratory study on the influence of roads in the spatial patterns of Swedish wildfires of 2018

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Gabriel Romeo Ferriols Pavico; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wildfire; Fire Spatial Patterns; Road; Conformity; FWI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires.

  5. 4. 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.

  6. 5. Governance for Climate Change Adaptation in transboundary conservation areas A case study of La Amistad International Park (Pacific Side) between Costa Rica and Panama

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Ana Monroy Chaparro; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate change adaptation; Multilevel Governance; Transboundary conservation area; La Amistad International Park PILA; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : El cambio climático es un problema global urgente que afecta a millones de personas y diversos ecosistemas. Sin embargo, existe una brecha significativa entre lo que se ha hecho y lo que es necesario para la adaptación al cambio climático. READ MORE
