Constrained optimisation of preliminary spacecraft configurations under the design-for-demise paradigm
Mirko Trisolini, Hugh G. Lewis, Camilla Colombo
In the past few years, the interest towards the implementation of design-for-demise measures has increased steadily. Most mid-sized satellites currently launched and already in orb…
Predicting the vulnerability of spacecraft components: modelling debris impact effects through vulnerable-zones
Mirko Trisolini, Hugh G. Lewis, Camilla Colombo
The space environment around the Earth is populated by more than 130 million objects of 1 mm in size and larger, and future predictions shows that this amount is destined to increa…
Spacecraft design optimisation for demise and survivability
Mirko Trisolini, Hugh G. Lewis, Camilla Colombo
Among the mitigation measures introduced to cope with the space debris issue there is the de-orbiting of decommissioned satellites. Guidelines for re-entering objects call for a gr…
Demisability and survivability sensitivity to design-for-demise techniques
Mirko Trisolini, Hugh G. Lewis, Camilla Colombo
The paper is concerned with examining the effects that design-for-demise solutions can have not only on the demisability of components, but also on their survivability that is thei…
Asteroid Impact Effects And Their Immediate Hazards For Human Populations
Clemens M. Rumpf, Hugh G. Lewis, Peter M. Atkinson
A set of 50,000 artificial Earth impacting asteroids was used to obtain, for the first time, information about the dominance of individual impact effects such as wind blast, overpr…
Population Vulnerability Models for Asteroid Impact Risk Assessment
Clemens M. Rumpf, Hugh G. Lewis, Peter M. Atkinson
An asteroid impact is a low probability event with potentially devastating consequences. The Asteroid Risk Mitigation Optimization and Research (ARMOR) software tool calculates whe…
