1. Airspeed estimation of aircraft using two different models and nonlinear observers
University essay from Linköpings universitet/FordonssystemAbstract : When operating an aircraft, inaccurate measurements can have devastating consequences. For example, when measuring airspeed using a pitot tube, icing effects and other faults can result in erroneous measurements. READ MORE

2. Development of Test Methodologies and Setups for Thrust Measurements of Cold Gas Micro-thrusters for CubeSats
University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanikAbstract : Measuring the thrust of cold gas micro-thrusters, due to the small magnitude of the generated force, is a challenging task, and to obtain satisfying quality of results usually careful adjustments of the setup has to be performed. The work presented in this paper aims at improving the quality of such measurements at the GomSpace Sweden company. READ MORE

3. Design, production, and validation of a vacuum arc thruster for in-orbit proximity operations
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : 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.

4. Analysis of Hall effect thrusters using Hybrid PIC simulations and coupling to EP plume
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : In the last 30 years, numerical models have been developed to properly analyze Hall eect thrusters (HET),leading to a bridge between analytical prediction/empirical intuition and experiments. For companies in thespace sector, these codes serve to much more than simply simulating the thruster, but it provides a fast, cheapand reliable tool for processes such as validation and verication procedures, as well as for technical developmentof the thruster.

5. Design and manufacturing of a thrust measurement system for a micro jet engine : Enabling in-flight drag estimation for subscale aircraft testing
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska systemAbstract : Good estimation of aerodynamic coefficients is of fundamental importance in the design and development process of an aircraft. Generally, these parameters are obtained using analytical, numerical and experimental methods, which are sometimes either inaccurate or very expensive. READ MORE
