This book provides readers with a clear description of the types of lunar and interplanetary trajectories, and how they influence satellite-system design. The description follows an engineering rather than a mathematical approach and includes many examples of lunar trajectories, based on real missions. It helps readers gain an understanding of the driving subsystems of interplanetary and lunar satellites. The tables and graphs showing features of trajectories make the book easy to understand.
This book describes the development and design of a unique combined data and power management infrastructure for small satellites. This new edition became necessary because in the frame of the system's impressive evolution from an academic prototype to one of today's most advanced core avionics, many elements were upgraded to their next technology generation and diverse new components complement the upgraded design. All elements are presented in updated respectively new chapters. This modular infrastructure was selected by the Swiss start-up ClearSpace SA for ESA's first mission ClearSpace-1 to remove space debris. Furthermore it is the baseline for the Thai national satellite development program and is used by an increasing number of universities worldwide for research studies.
A brief guide to the real science of interstellar travel With known exoplanets now numbering in the thousands and initiatives like 100 Year Starship and Breakthrough Starshot advancing the idea of interstellar travel, the age-old dream of venturing forth into the cosmos and perhaps even colonizing distant worlds may one day become a reality. A Traveler’s Guide to the Stars reveals how. Les Johnson takes you on a thrilling tour of the physics and technologies that may enable us to reach the stars. He discusses the latest exoplanet discoveries, promising interstellar missions on the not-so-distant horizon, and exciting new developments in space propulsion, power, robotics, communications, an...
Globally, humans produce 1.3 billion tons of garbage every year. Discover the causes and proposed solutions for the global garbage glut, examining pollution on land, in the ocean, in the air, and in space.
Heutzutage wird immer häufiger der Einsatz von nicht speziell für die Raumfahrt qualifizierten Komponenten für Weltraumanwendungen in Betracht gezogen. Als einer der Hauptgründe spielen die geringeren Kosten eine wesentliche Rolle, jedoch sind Verfügbarkeit, Leistungsanforderungen sowie der Formfaktor weitere Gründe nicht-raumfahrtqualifizierte Elektronikbauteile einzusetzen. Insbesondere bei Kleinsatelliten wird oft der Einsatz von solchen Bauteilen erwogen. Nicht-raumfahrtqualifizierte Elektronikbauteile können die hohen Anforderungen, die an die Zuverlässigkeit von Raumfahrtkomponenten gestellt werden, in der Regel nicht erfüllen. Durch die Los-zu-Los-Schwankungen, die schlechte ...
