1. 1. Ageing process analysis of solar panels in graveyard geostationaryorbit for reusability potential

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

   Author : Robin Drevet; [2024]
   Keywords : space debris; Spacecraft Materials; satellite; Space Sustainability; Space Circularity; Space Manufacturing;

   Abstract : The constant growth of space debris and the associated risks force the space community to find solutions to mitigate them. Today the most advanced solutions to dispose of satellites and rocket stages after the end of mission consists of moving them either into a graveyard orbit or towards an atmospheric re-entry ending in the demise of both spacecraft and its materials.

3. 2. Human-Multi-Drone Interaction in Search and Rescue Systems under High Cognitive Workload

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Johanna Ahlskog; [2024]
   Keywords : Unmanned aerial vehicle; human-drone interaction; cognitive workload; trust; search and rescue; drone swarm; situational awareness; multi-drone systems;

   Abstract : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), often referred to as drones, have seen increased use in search and rescue (SAR) missions. Traditionally, these missions involve manual control of each drone for aerial surveillance. READ MORE

4. 3. Ensuring safe docking maneuvers on floating platform using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC)

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

   Author : Federico Gatti; [2024]
   Keywords : Robotics; Space Engineering; Docking Maneuvers; Floating Platforms; Nonlinear MPC; MPC; Barrier function; PWM;

   Abstract : Docking maneuvers are a relevant part of the modern space mission, requiring precision and safety to ensure the success of the overall mission. This thesis proposes using a non-linear Model Predictive Control (MPC) as a controller with various constraints to ensure safe docking maneuvers for a satellite. READ MORE

5. 4. Real-Time Navigation for Swarms of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Satellites

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Antoni Eritja Olivella; [2024]
   Keywords : SAR; Real-time orbit determination; Real-time baseline determination; swarms; satellite; formation flying;

   Abstract : The pursuit of precision and flexibility in satellite missions has led to an increased number of formation flying missions being developed. These systems consist of multiple satellites flying at close distances (from a few kilometres to a few meters) to achieve common objectives. READ MORE

6. 5. Architecture and CognitionArchitectural settings’ influence on cognitive performance in an isolated and confined environment, over time.

   University essay from KTH/Ergonomi

   Author : Michail Magkos; [2024]
   Keywords : Cognitive; Ergonomics; Architecture; Working Memory; Space; Isolation;

   Abstract : his thesis examines the relationship between architectural design in a space analog environment and cognitive performance. This is done through longitudinal, repeated measures, quantitative study which was conducted during a Mars analog mission, with cognitive assessments administered under different environmental conditions within the mission habitat.
