  1. 1. Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis of HPGP Thruster

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Lisa Svensson; [2024]
    Keywords : aerospace; HPGP; ECAPS; ANSYS; conjugate heat transfer; thruster; space;

    Abstract : This master's thesis was conducted in collaboration with ECAPS, where a conjugate heat transfer analysis on their High Performance Green Propulsion (HPGP) 22N thruster was done. ECAPS is a Swedish propulsion company specializing in green propulsion. They develop thrusters for spacecraft orbit and attitude control, utilizing the propellant LMP-103S. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. Testing for verification and validation of an onboard orbit determination system exploiting GNSS : A nanosatellite application for HERMES-SP

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

    Author : Clara Nermark; [2023]
    Keywords : Onboard orbit determination system; GNSS; nanosatellite; testing; verification and validation; Ombord banbestämning; GNSS; nanosatellit; testning; verifikation och validering;

    Abstract : When developing products for space, including nanosatellites, the verification and validation process is a mandatory part of any project conducted within the European space industry. Within such a process, testing is a method for verification and validation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation of MIST Attitude Determination and Control System

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