  1. 1. Preliminary Design and Conceptual Analysis of an Electrically Actuated Pintle Injector

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Simone Guietti; [2024]
    Keywords : Pintle injector; space propulsion; space engineering;

    Abstract : ”The Eagle has landed”. With this words, astronaut Neil Armstrong, together with astronaut Edwin ”Buzz” Aldrin, confirmed the safe landing on the Moon of the Apollo11 on July 20th, 1969. This achievement would have never been possible without the engineering behind the construction of the Moon lander. READ MORE

  3. 2. Calibration and preparation of the data analysis of the DORN experiment on board the Chang'E 6 lunar mission.

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Íñigo de Loyola Chacartegui Rojo; [2023]
    Keywords : Radon; lunar mission; alpha spectrometry; space instrumentation; performance testing and validation;

    Abstract : As part of the first agreement between the French (CNES) and the Chinese (CNSA) space agencies in terms of space exploration, the DORN instrument will fly on board the Chinese Chang'E 6 mission in 2024. It aims to measure the amount of Radon escaping from the lunar soil to better understand what governs the concentration of this noble gas which contributes to the endogenous origin of the lunar exosphere.

  4. 3. Hybrid Simulations of Solar Wind Plasma Interaction with the Lunar Reiner Gamma Magnetic Anomaly

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : David Frisk Strömberg; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Moon has small scale regions of strong magnetic fields scattered over its surface, known as crustal fields. Coexisting with some of the strongest crustal fields are peculiar markings in the lunar soil, called lunar swirls, which are suggested to be formed by magnetosphere-like interactions between the crustal fields and the solar wind plasma.
