Generalized Treatment of Energy Accommodation in Gas-Surface Interactions for Satellite Aerodynamics Applications
Friedrich Tuttas, Constantin Traub, Marcel Pfeiffer +1
In the context of satellite aerodynamics in the Very-Low-Earth-Orbit (VLEO) regime, accurate modeling of gas-surface interactions (GSI) is crucial for determining aerodynamic force…
Analysis of collision avoidance manoeuvres using aerodynamic drag for the Flying Laptop satellite
Fabrizio Turco, Constantin Traub, Steffen Gaißer +3
Collision avoidance is a topic of growing importance for any satellite orbiting Earth. Especially those satellites without thrusting capabilities face the problem of not being able…
Satellite design optimization for differential lift and drag applications
C. Marianowski, C. Traub, M. Pfeiffer +2
Utilizing differential atmospheric forces in the Very Low Earth Orbits (VLEO) regime for the control of the relative motion within a satellite formation is a promising option as an…
An analysis tool for collision avoidance manoeuvres using aerodynamic drag
F. Turco, C. Traub, S. Gaißer +3
Aerodynamic collision avoidance manoeuvres provide an opportunity for satellites in Low Earth Orbits to reduce the risk during close encounters. With rising numbers of satellites a…
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…
