  1. 1. Ageing process analysis of solar panels in graveyard geostationaryorbit for reusability potential

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

    Author : Robin Drevet; [2024]
    Keywords : space debris; Spacecraft Materials; satellite; Space Sustainability; Space Circularity; Space Manufacturing;

    Abstract : The constant growth of space debris and the associated risks force the space community to find solutions to mitigate them. Today the most advanced solutions to dispose of satellites and rocket stages after the end of mission consists of moving them either into a graveyard orbit or towards an atmospheric re-entry ending in the demise of both spacecraft and its materials.

  3. 2. WSA-ENLIL + Cone ensemble modeling of an Earth-directed ICME : Comparison with in-situ observations by Solar Orbiter and WIND at L1

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi; Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

    Author : Alberto García Ribas; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are considered the most energetic phenomenon in the heliosphere. Originated in the solar corona, they are formed by ejected plasma driven by strong magnetic fields. READ MORE

  4. 3. Real Time Navigation Algorithms for LEO Small Satellites using COTS GNSS

    University essay from KTH/Lantmäteri – fastighetsvetenskap och geodesi

    Author : Nathan Groisne; [2023]
    Keywords : PNT; Small Satellite; COTS; GNSS; Navigation; ACS; PNT; små satelliter; COTS; GNSS; navigering; ACS;

    Abstract : Many satellites in LEO use a GNSS-based navigation system, taking advantage of the GNSS constellations in MEO to enhance navigation capabilities. The thesis work focused on developing the software enabling GNSS-based navigation for Hemeria's future small satellites operating in LEO. READ MORE

  5. 4. Resonance Mitigation in the Attitude Control of a Flexible Large Solar Sail

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Jonas Linnros; [2023]
    Keywords : Resonance; Control theory; Mechanics; Solar sail; PID; Space; Resonans; Reglerteknik; Mekanik; Solsegel; PID; Rymd;

    Abstract : This project is about the design process of a resonancemitigating algorithm for a large solar sail. The solar sail isa structure made up by four long booms in a cross patternwith suspended sails between the edges of the booms. Thespacecraft in this report is controlled using smaller rotatingsails at each tip of the booms. READ MORE

  6. 5. Small Satellite Design for High Sensitivity Magnetic Measurements

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

    Author : Noel Sebastian Janes; [2022]
    Keywords : Magnetic Cleanliness; FORESAIL; CubeSats; High Sensitivity Magnetic Measurements; Small Satellite;

    Abstract : The magnetic cleanliness of a spacecraft during magnetic measurements is an important aspect in the design of many space science missions. The adequate reduction or removal of the spacecraft's magnetic disturbance plays a vital role in allowing the ambient magnetic field to be measured with the required accuracy. READ MORE
