1. 6. Evaluation of the auroral large imagining system for automatic space debris detection

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Pulmu Pietikäinen; [2023]
   Keywords : Space debris; optical system; auroral imager;

   Abstract : The performance of the auroral large imagining system (ALIS_4D) and an automatic track detection algorithm was evaluated for space debris surveillance and tracking. The evaluation of the ALIS_4D was done through a numerical simulation and data annotations, while the track detection results were manually evaluated. READ MORE

3. 7. Risk Assessment for Space Debris Collisions

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

   Author : Kenny Andersson; [2023]
   Keywords : space debris; NASA standard breakup model; satellite fragmentations; satellite fragmentation modelling; space surveillance and tracking; ESA MASTER; collision risk; risk assessment; space situational awareness; rymdskrot; NASA standard breakup model; satellitfragmentering; modellering av satellitfragmentering; inmätning och övervakning av rymdobjekt; ESA MASTER; kollisionsrisk; riskbedömning; rymdlägesbild;

   Abstract : The increasing reliance on space infrastructure and its rapid expansion necessitate the development and enhancement of tools for space debris and fragmentation research. Accurate prediction of the risks associated with satellite fragmentation requires comprehensive understanding of the dynamics involved. READ MORE

4. 8. Testing of AblativeMaterials as a Protective Coating for Rocket Launch Pads

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Gioele Daka; [2023]
   Keywords : Ablative Materials; Protective Coating; Rocket Launchpad; Refractory Materials; Oxyacetylene Torch; Slug Calorimeter; Ablativa material; Skyddande beläggning; Raketstartplatta; eldfast material; acetylensyrebrännare; kopparkalorimeter;

   Abstract : As the space market grows, demand for sites to host rocket tests and to launch satellites to orbit is expected to increase. During these activities, the launch infrastructure needs to withstand the extreme thermal and mechanical loads associated with the exhaust of a rocket engine. READ MORE

5. 9. Avoiding the Kessler Effect : An Evaluation of the International Regulation of Space Debris

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Juridiska institutionen

   Author : Edvin Matton; [2023]
   Keywords : space law; space debris; international state responsibility; international state liability;

   Abstract : The mass of space debris in orbit around the Earth is growing and will continue to grow due to more frequent launches of satellites and space debris colliding with other space debris. This could lead to a situation in the future where a part, or all, of the orbit becomes so crowded with space debris that it becomes impossible to launch satellites to that region. READ MORE

6. 10. Finding stars that are likely to be from accreted satellite galaxies

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Helena Cronstedt; [2023]
   Keywords : galaxy mergers; merger debris; velocity space; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The Milky Way galaxy has through its lifetime merged with several smaller galaxies in its surroundings. Merger events like these play an important role in the formation of galaxies and are therefore of great interest to better our understanding of galaxy formation. READ MORE
