  1. 1. Trajectory Optimisation of a Spacecraft Swarm Maximising Gravitational Signal

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Rasmus Maråk; [2023]
    Keywords : Spacecraft Swarms; Trajectory Optimisation; Impulsive Manoeuvres; Evolutionary Algorithms; Polyhedral Gravity Model; Small Body Exploration; Discrete Spherical Grids; Svärmande rymdfarkoster; Banoptimering; Impulsiva manövrar; Evolutionära Algoritmer; Polyhedral gravitationsmodell; Utforksning av små kroppar i solsystemet; Diskreta sfäriska rutnät;

    Abstract : Proper modelling of the gravitational fields of irregularly shaped asteroids and comets is an essential yet challenging part of any spacecraft visit and flyby to these bodies. Accurate density representations provide crucial information for proximity missions, which rely heavily on it to design safe and efficient trajectories. READ MORE

  3. 2. Feasibility study of the implementation of a space sunshade near the first Lagrangian point

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : María García de Herreros Miciano; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE
