    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.

  3. 2. Wire Boom Deployment and Attitude of Spinning Free Falling Units in Sounding Rocket Experiments

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

    Author : Manil Djouadi; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The SPIDER experiment conducted in February 2016 made it possible togather measurements in an aurora and is likely to bring a better understandingof instabilities occurring in it, especially of the Farley-Buneman instability.To exploit properly these measurements, the attitude of the Free-Falling Units(FFUs) that gather the measurements must be well known.

  4. 3. Experiment Control Electronics for Spinning Quad Ionospheric Deployer SQUID

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Monica Alaniz Flores; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Spinning QUad Ionospheric Deployer (SQUID) is a soundingcrocket experiment developed to test and verify a novel mechanism to deploy wire booms. The SQUID consists of the Rocket Mounted Unit (RMU) and the Free Flying Unit (FFU), the former is attached to the rocket and the latter is ejected. READ MORE

  5. 4. Testing and qualification of the boom system on the Spinning QUad Ionospheric Deployer

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Malin Paulson; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : At the department of Space and Plasma Physics a small wire boom system has been developed. The system’s cable is stored around a stationary cylinder. The system uses a gear to feed out the cable in an axial direction. The purpose is to measure the electric and magnetic fields in the ionosphere. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterization of a wire boom deployment system through testing, analysis, and simulations

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik
