Performance Test Methodology for Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion Intakes in an Atomic Oxygen Facility
Alexander T. Cushen, Vitor T. A. Oiko, Katharine L. Smith +5
The testing of atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion intakes is an important step in the development of functional propulsion systems which provide sustained drag compensation i…
CLOVER Robot: A Minimally Actuated Jumping Robotic Platform for Space Exploration
Alejandro Macario-Rojas, Ben Parslew, Andrew Weightman +1
Robots have been critical instruments to space exploration by providing access to environments beyond human limitations. Jumping robot concepts are attractive solutions to negotiat…
In-Orbit Aerodynamic Coefficient Measurements using SOAR (Satellite for Orbital Aerodynamics Research)
N. H. Crisp, P. C. E. Roberts, S. Livadiotti +26
The Satellite for Orbital Aerodynamics Research (SOAR) is a CubeSat mission, due to be launched in 2021, to investigate the interaction between different materials and the atmosphe…
A Review of Gas-Surface Interaction Models for Orbital Aerodynamics Applications
Sabrina Livadiotti, Nicholas H. Crisp, Peter C. E. Roberts +29
Renewed interest in Very Low Earth Orbits (VLEO) - i.e. altitudes below 450 km - has led to an increased demand for accurate environment characterisation and aerodynamic force pred…
The Benefits of Very Low Earth Orbit for Earth Observation Missions
N. H. Crisp, P. C. E. Roberts, S. Livadiotti +30
Very low Earth orbits (VLEO), typically classified as orbits below approximately 450 km in altitude, have the potential to provide significant benefits to spacecraft over those tha…
Solar activity simulation and forecast with a flux-transport dynamo
Alejandro Macario-Rojas, Katharine L. Smith, Peter C. E. Roberts
We present the assessment of a diffusion-dominated mean field axisymmetric dynamo model in reproducing historical solar activity and forecast for solar cycle 25. Previous studies p…
