Design of an Intake and a Thruster for an Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion System
F. Romano, G. Herdrich, Y. -A. Chan +25
Challenging space missions include those at very low altitudes, where the atmosphere is source of aerodynamic drag on the spacecraft that finally defines the missions lifetime unle…
Development and analysis of novel mission scenarios based on Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP)
S. Vaidya, C. Traub, F. Romano +28
Operating satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) benefits the already expanding New Space industry in applications including Earth Observation and beyond. However, long-term ope…
Uncertainties and Design of Active Aerodynamic Attitude Control in Very Low Earth Orbit
Sabrina Livadiotti, Nicholas H. Crisp, Peter C. E. Roberts +4
This paper discusses the design and the performance achievable with active aerodynamic attitude control in very low Earth orbit, i.e. below 450 km in altitude. A novel real-time al…
