Magnetic reconnection as a mechanism to produce multiple protonpopulations and beams locally in the solar wind
B. Lavraud, R. Kieokaew, N. Fargette +37
Context. Spacecraft observations early revealed frequent multiple proton populations in the solar wind. Decades of research on their origin have focused on processes such as magnet…
Deriving the bulk properties of solar wind electrons observed by Solar Orbiter: A preliminary study of electron plasma thermodynamics
Georgios Nicolaou, Robert T. Wicks, Christopher J. Owen +8
We demonstrate the calculation of solar wind electron bulk parameters from recent observations by Solar Wind Analyser Electron Analyser System on board Solar Orbiter. We use our me…
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…
The solar-wind angular-momentum flux observed during Solar Orbiter's first orbit
Daniel Verscharen, David Stansby, Adam J. Finley +19
Aims: We present the first measurements of the solar-wind angular-momentum (AM) flux recorded by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. Our aim is the validation of these measurements to su…
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…
