1. 16. System Architecture for Lunar Oxygen Production from Regolith Using a Model-Based System Engineering Approach

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

   Author : Kim Lamboley; [2022]
   Keywords : ISRU; MBSE; Exploration; Moon; Space; Resources; Regolith; Pyrolysis; Oxygen; Production; ISRU; MBSE; Utforskning; Månen; Rymd; Resurser; Regolit; Pyrolys; Syre; Produktion;

   Abstract : Technologies for production and utilisation of space resources are still in the early phases of development. Oxygen in particular is an interesting resource for both life-support and as propellant, and can be widely found on the lunar surface embedded in metallic oxides in the lunar soil. READ MORE

3. 17. The realization of a study on the current and future trends of the cost of access to space for CubeSat missions.

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Alice Phen; [2022]
   Keywords : CubeSat; costs; current status; future trends.;

   Abstract : The increasing number of space-related applications and the development of miniaturized satellites (sometimes called CubeSats) recently became an exciting area in modern space science. Due to their diverse applications, smaller size, and low development cost. READ MORE

   Abstract : Fast-bränsle-raketer (SRM) har funnit sin plats i en stor mängd tillämpningar sedan deras framkomst mer än 2000 år sedan. En SRMs prestanda är förutbestämd av geometrin av drivmedelskrutet och är begränsad av gjutningsmetoden, som idag främst används i produktion. READ MORE

6. 20. Parametric study on hybrid rocket propulsion system performance measured by the system specific impulse

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

   Author : Adam Bussmann; [2022]
   Keywords : Hybrid; Hybrid propulsion; Hybrid propulsion system; System specific impulse;

   Abstract : Hybrid rocket motors have become of great international interest during the last couple of years. A hybrid rocket motor is propelled by the use of a solid fuel and a liquid oxidizer. The fundamental principle of the hybrid propelled system is that the liquid oxidizer is injected into a combustion chamber to enable the combustion of the solid fuel. READ MORE
