1. Vacuum Chamber Adaptation for Low-Power Electric Propulsion Testing : Optimizing Anode Configuration and Electrical Interface for Hollow Cathode Testing, and Conceptualizing a Setup for Field Emission Electric Propulsion Testing
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Electric Propulsion (EP) is widely acknowledged as a crucial technology for future space missions, offering significant propellant savings and enabling exploration of planetary missions with smaller spacecraft (s/c). For precise attitude control of these smaller spacecraft, Field Emission Electric Propulsion (FEEP) has emerged as a favorable option due to its exceptional thrust controllability. READ MORE

3. The development of a Hardware-in-the-Loop test setup for event-based vision near-space space objects.
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : The purpose of this thesis work was to develop a Hardware-in-the-Loop imaging setup that enables experimenting with an event-based and frame-based camera under simulated space conditions. The generated data sets were used to compare visual navigation algorithms in terms of an event-based and frame-based feature detection and tracking algorithm. READ MORE

4. Skyline Delineation for Localization in Occluded Environments : Improved Skyline Delineation using Environmental Context from Deep Learning-based Semantic Segmentation
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of improving the delineation of skylines, also referred to as skyline detection, in occluded and challenging environments where existing skyline delineation methods may struggle or fail. Delineated skylines can be used in monocular camera localization methods by comparing delineated skylines to digital elevation model data to estimate a position based on known terrain. READ MORE

5. Something's Growing On...
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/HDK-Valand - Högskolan för konst och designAbstract : he ‘Something’s growing on…’ project explores how a picture book for children can celebrate and highlight the complexity and importance of nature and its unseen microcosms. It is a designinitiated attempt to evoke awareness and appreciation for the other-than-human worlds — and through this, to address the anthropocentric view of our times. READ MORE
