Interstellar Objects in the Solar System: 1. Isotropic Kinematics from the Gaia Early Data Release 3
T. Marshall Eubanks, Andreas M. Hein, Manasvi Lingam +6
1I/'Oumuamua (or 1I) and 2I/Borisov (or 2I), the first InterStellar Objects (ISOs) discovered passing through the solar system, have opened up entirely new areas of exobody researc…
Heat transfer augmentation by recombination reactions in turbulent reacting boundary layers at elevated pressures
Nikolaos Perakis, Oskar Haidn, Matthias Ihme
A study of a reacting boundary layer flow with heat transfer at conditions typical for configurations at elevated pressures has been performed using a set of direct numerical simul…
Data-assisted combustion simulations with dynamic submodel assignment using random forests
Wai Tong Chung, Aashwin Ananda Mishra, Nikolaos Perakis +1
In this investigation, we outline a data-assisted approach that employs random forest classifiers for local and dynamic combustion submodel assignment in turbulent-combustion simul…
Interstellar Now! Missions to and Sample Returns from Nearby Interstellar Objects
Andreas M. Heina, T. Marshall Eubanks, Manasvi Lingam +7
The recently discovered first high velocity hyperbolic objects passing through the Solar System, 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, have raised the question about near term missions to I…
Sending a Spacecraft to Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov
Adam Hibberd, Nikolaos Perakis, Andreas M. Hein
In August 2019, a second interstellar object 2I/Borisov was discovered 2 years after the discovery of the first known interstellar object, 1I/'Oumuamua. Can we send a spacecraft to…
Project Lyra: Sending a Spacecraft to 1I/'Oumuamua (former A/2017 U1), the Interstellar Asteroid
Andreas M. Hein, Nikolaos Perakis, T. Marshall Eubanks +5
The first definitely interstellar object 1I/'Oumuamua (previously A/2017 U1) observed in our solar system provides the opportunity to directly study material from other star system…
The Andromeda Study: A Femto-Spacecraft Mission to Alpha Centauri
Andreas M. Hein, Kelvin F. Long, Dan Fries +11
This paper discusses the physics, engineering and mission architecture relating to a gram-sized interstellar probe propelled by a laser beam. The objectives are to design a fly-by…
Atmospheric Drag, Occultation 'N' Ionospheric Scintillation (ADONIS) mission proposal
Sebastian Hettrich, Yann Kempf, Nikolaos Perakis +14
The Atmospheric Drag, Occultation 'N' Ionospheric Scintillation mission (ADONIS) studies the dynamics of the terrestrial thermosphere and ionosphere in dependency of solar events o…
Combining Magnetic and Electric Sails for Interstellar Deceleration
Nikolaos Perakis, Andreas M. Hein
The main benefit of an interstellar mission is to carry out in-situ measurements within a target star system. To allow for extended in-situ measurements, the spacecraft needs to be…
