1. Optical Navigation for Autonomous Approach of Unexplored Small Bodies
University essay from KTH/RymdteknikAbstract : This thesis presents an autonomous vision-based navigation strategy applicable to the approach phase of a small body mission, developed within the Robotics Section at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Today, the operations performed to approach small planetary bodies are largely dependent on ground support and human decision-making, which demand operational complexity and restrict the spectrum of achievable activities throughout the mission.

2. Dark Ages Lunar Interferometer - Deployment Rover : Propulsion and Steering Systems
University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskapAbstract : 2030 NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory will place an interferometer, which will workas a radio telescope, on the far side of the Moon. The interferometer uses thinpolyamide films as antennas, which are rolled out by a rover (an autonomousvehicle). The thesis covers concept generation of the propulsion and steering systemof the rover. READ MORE

3. Switching to the “Golden Age of Natural Gas” with a focus on shale gas exploitation : a possible bridge to mitigate climate change?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Currently, policy makers put high attention in supplying global energy demand by focusing on 2°C policy; global temperature anomaly based on the global mean temperature of pre-industrial era (13.7°C). How to keep the 2°C policy at global scope is the main question in climate framework. READ MORE

4. Kinematic orbit determination of low Earth orbiting satellites, using satellite-to-satellite tracking data and comparison of results with different propagators
University essay from KTH/Geodesi och geoinformatikAbstract : The GPS data from Challenging Mini-satellite Payload (CHAMP) is used for its orbit determination for the epoch day of January 1st 2002. The orbit of CHAMP is computed from the GPS data and ionospheric effects are removed by frequency combination. READ MORE
