1. 1. Analysis and Design of a Microgravity Drop Tower

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Tristan Edwards; [2023]
   Keywords : drop tower; microgravity;

   Abstract : A drop tower is a device that produces a microgravity environment by allowing an experiment to free fall for a short period of time, usually less than 10 seconds. Certain types of drop towers are also capable of reproducing the gravitational conditions of other celestial bodies, such as Lunar and Martian gravity. READ MORE

3. 2. Wave Propagation Experiment on FPGA with Miniaturized Payload for Sounding Rocket Application

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

   Author : Leonardo Filippeschi; [2022]
   Keywords : Wave propagation experiment; REXUS BEXUS; FPGA; IQ demodulation; ADC; VHDL;

   Abstract : This bachelor's thesis aims to implement a wave propagation experiment on Field-Programmable Gate Array to detect the signal strength at pre-defined frequencies for use in sounding rocket experiments. This includes the choice of suitable components such as analog to digital converters, filters, voltage regulators, and amplifiers. READ MORE

4. 3. High Altitude Glider Solution for Returning From Space

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

   Keywords : Aerodynamics; aeronautics; gliding flight; nearearth space research; sounding rocket; KTH; REXUS; XFLR5; Simscale; CFD;

   Abstract : Space exploration drives the human expansion inthe universe. Succeeding in this challenge demands familiarityof the near earth space environment, achieved through soundingrocket experiments that often are lost upon return from space. READ MORE

5. 4. The Deployable Wing Structure for the KTH REXUS Free Falling Unit

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

   Author : Jennifer Ly; Orgil Jargalsaikhan; [2021]
   Keywords : Deployment; Deployable Structure; Scissor Structural Mechanism; Glider; REXUS BEXUS;

   Abstract : With the help of sounding rockets, the Earth’sionosphere can be studied by ejecting cylindrical units thatmeasure various electromagnetic properties while falling. Theseunits are also known as Free Falling Units (FFUs). The goal of thisproject is to turn the FFUs into autonomous gliders by designingdeployable wings. READ MORE

6. 5. Improving the wire boom deployment system used on SPIDER-2 : Increasing reliability, robustness and ease of assembly for a wire boom deployment system

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

   Author : Jona Sandgren; [2021]
   Keywords : Space; Probe; Wire boom; Deployment; Improvement; Test; Rymden; Prob; Trådbom; Utfällning; Förbättring; Test;

   Abstract : This project deals with the improvement of a wire boom deployment system to be used on a proposed Rocket Experiments for University Students (REXUS) mission. The system to be improved was previously used on the Small Payload for Investigation of Disturbances in Electrojet by Rockets (SPIDER-2) mission and the objective was to make that system more robust and reliable as well as easier to assemble.
