  1. 11. Mission Design Considerations of the Propulsion System Demonstration as part of the Hugin Space Exploration Technology Satellite Mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Barkarmo Romil; [2022]
    Keywords : Electric propulsion system; Field Emission Electric Propulsion; Ion propulsion orbital maneuvers;

    Abstract : Beyond Atlas is a Swedish private company with the goal of exploring the solar system with cheap and reliable spacecraft. Part of their maiden mission, Hugin, aims to demonstrate navigation, propulsion, and communication technology on a 3U CubeSat. READ MORE

  3. 12. Space Rider System: GNC and System Model Improvements

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Simon Vial; [2022]
    Keywords : Space Rider System; Disturbance Modelling; Maneuver Optimization; Space Rider System; Modellering av Störningar; Manöveroptimering;

    Abstract : As part of a continuous trend of the space sector for obtaining higher performance space science and Earth observations, there is an increasing demand for higher requirements in pointing accuracy and disturbance prediction. The Space Rider System (SRS) is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) reusable vehicle that aims at answering to that demand. READ MORE

  4. 13. Stellar Encounters at the Galactic Centre

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Roberts Fisers; [2022]
    Keywords : Galaxy; encounter; SPH; NSC; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Using methods of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) an N -body simulation was set-up to investigate stellar encounters between a 1 solar-mass main sequence (MS) star, modeled after the Sun, and a 0.6 solar-mass white dwarf (WD). This was done primarily to investigate the assumptions made by Mastrobuono-Battisti et al. READ MORE

  5. 14. The visibility of double neutron star binaries to LISA

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Anatole Storck; [2021]
    Keywords : gravitational waves; LISA; neutron stars; orbital simulations; Runge-Kutta method; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Double neutron star binaries (DNSBs) in the mHz gravitational wave (GW) regime are an important group of objects which the GW detector LISA will be able to observe. The detection and parametrization of these objects will help develop our current understanding of neutron star formation and evolution. READ MORE

  6. 15. Have Radial Velocity Surveys Missed Any Planets?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Shah Raj; [2021]
    Keywords : radial velocity survey; transit method; exoplanet; habitable zone; habitable zone boundaries; HZ; early Mars; recent Venus; stability; instability; chaos; REBOUND; MEGNO; MEGNO maps; Hill sphere; stable systems; unstable systems; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The project was aimed at numerically assessing exoplanetary systems to distinguish their capabilities of hosting additional planets. The shortcomings of the radial velocity method sometimes causes hindrance in the detection of terrestrial planets. READ MORE
