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…
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…
