  1. 1. Investigation of a Novel Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion Platform and Intake

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

    Author : Kun Feng; [2023]
    Keywords : ABEP; VLEO; DSMC; FMF; Orbital Aerodynamics; ABEP; DSMC; VLEO; FMF; Orbital Aerodynamics;

    Abstract : Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) provides many benefits for space missions, including better image resolution for Earth observation, better telecommunication link with ground stations, lower launch cost, lower risk of collisions, and fast end-of-life disposal. The last point in benefit is also the main challenge for placing satellites in VLEO. READ MORE

    Keywords : BOOST; Special Relativity; Kennedy Thorndike; Eclipse duration; Ground visibility; Downlink feasibility; 3-axis stabilization; Spin stabilized satellite; Solar array estimation; Battery size estimation.;

    Abstract : In 1905 Albert Einstein developed the theory of Special Relativity. This theory describes the relation between space and time and revolutionized the understanding of the universe. While the concept is generally accepted new experimental setups are constantly being developed to challenge the theory, but so far no contradictions have been found. READ MORE
