  1. 1. Cosmic Dust Detection by the Solar Orbiter Using Machine Learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

    Author : Joar Lönngren; Ludwig Tiston; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Neural Network; Cosmic Dust; Solar Orbiter; Space Physics; Space Dust;

    Abstract : This project aims to investigate neural network systems as an effective tool for the in-space captured dust impact signal detection. Cosmic dust is the nanometre to micrometre fine-sized particles that exist in the interplanetary region. They originate from comets, asteroids, the planets and their moons and rings, or even the interstellar region. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hybrid Simulations of Solar Wind Plasma Interaction with the Lunar Reiner Gamma Magnetic Anomaly

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : David Frisk Strömberg; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Moon has small scale regions of strong magnetic fields scattered over its surface, known as crustal fields. Coexisting with some of the strongest crustal fields are peculiar markings in the lunar soil, called lunar swirls, which are suggested to be formed by magnetosphere-like interactions between the crustal fields and the solar wind plasma.

  4. 3. Concept investigation into Metal Plasma Source for High Powered Space Applications

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Ludvig Borg; [2023]
    Keywords : High-powered; Electric Propulsion; Vacuum Arc Thruster; VASIMR; Metal Plasma; Magnetohydrodynamics; COMSOL Multiphysics;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the potential of utilizing metal-based plasma sources as a sustainable solution for high-powered electric propulsion and its implications for future interplanetary travel. Focusing on the Vacuum Arc Thruster and the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket engine, the study encompasses numerical simulations, analytical comparisons, and performance analyses to assess the feasibility of metal plasma fuels in space missions.

  5. 4. The connection between the bow shock at Mercury and the interplanetary magnetic field

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

    Author : Erik Sellberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Mercury bow shock; Bow shock - interplanetary magnetic field interaction; MESSENGER; Merkurius bogchock; Växelverkan bogchock interplanetära magnetfältet; MESSENGER;

    Abstract : As the solar wind reaches Mercury it interacts with the planet’s magnetic field slowing down, forming a bow shock in front of the planet and diverting the flow around it. Along with the solar wind comes the interplanetary magnetic field, an extension of the sun’s magnetic field. READ MORE

  6. 5. Multiple fly-by for interplanetary missions

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Javier Chivite Sierra; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Current state-of-the-art of propulsion system for space vehicles does not allow to deliver therequired payload for the mission to all bodies in the Solar System. Therefore, alternatives havebeen developed to reach those bodies without having the necessary technology. READ MORE
