  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. Low-Temperature Thermal Control System for an Environmental Chamber

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Aleksis Pauls Lindemanis; [2022]
    Keywords : Space simulator; environmental chamber; thermal control design; thermal conductivity in bolted joints; thermal simulations; Mars climate; Carbon dioxide sublimation and deposition;

    Abstract : In spite of significant reduction of cost associated with launching a spacecraft, launching deep space exploratory missions are yet to be accessible to most universities and researchers. A solution to testing scientific hypotheses and verifying technologies for space is the use of environmental chambers, also know as space simulators, - vacuum chambers, which replicate the space environment.

  4. 13. Design, production, and validation of a vacuum arc thruster for in-orbit proximity operations

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Cornelis Peter Hiemstra; [2022]
    Keywords : vacuum arc thruster; propulsion; thrust measurement;

    Abstract : Vacuum arc thrusters offer a relatively simple and cheap form of satellite propulsion, especially suitable for nanosatellites such as CubeSats or even smaller. This thesis focuses on vacuum arc thruster design considering the thruster’s manufacturing, assembly and integration into the spacecraft, and proposes a new anode geometry easing thruster production.
