1. Analyzing Synthetic Spider Silk-based Diffraction Grids for the Sunshade Project
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : To mitigate climate change a proposed space-based geoengineering solutionis to screen off solar irradiance by placing a membrane in between the Earthand the Sun. The feasibility of such a project largely depends on minimizingthe mass of the shading screen and as an extension to the Sunshade projectthis thesis investigated how such a low-mass membrane could be designed.

2. Consensus Algorithm with Input Constraints and Collision Avoidance for Swarming Sunshade Satellites near the L1 point
University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanikAbstract : Swarm Control Theory studies how multi-agent systems interact to solve tasks cooperatively. In this thesis it was studied how graph theory and the Dynamic Average Consensus Algorithm can be used to control swarming sunshade satellites near L1 for global temperature control, and if it would be suitable for the purpose.

3. Feasibility study of the implementation of a space sunshade near the first Lagrangian point
University essay from KTH/RymdteknikAbstract : The lack of strong measures to avoid the possible fatal consequences of global warming is pushing researchers to look for other alternatives such as geoengineering.Within geoengineering, this study focuses on the space based solar radiation management methods.
