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…
System Modelling of Very Low Earth Orbit Satellites for Earth Observation
N. H. Crisp, P. C. E. Roberts, K. L. Smith +7
The operation of satellites in very low Earth orbit (VLEO) has been linked to a variety of benefits to both the spacecraft platform and mission design. Critically, for Earth observ…
Intake Design for an Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion System (ABEP)
F. Romano, J. Espinosa-Orozco, M. Pfeiffer +29
Challenging space missions include those at very low altitudes, where the atmosphere is source of aerodynamic drag on the spacecraft. To extend the lifetime of such missions, an ef…
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…
