Within that activity, a significant reduction in diameter of the polarizer elements was achieved. Usage of new manufacturing methods makes pitch-to-pitch distances of about 25mm possible. That enables the use of the feed cluster for combined Tx/Rx MFB solutions with one single reflector while providing simultaneously a high throughput density. Compared to the conventional solutions, which require at least 2 reflectors for multi-spot scenarios, the number of reflectors on satellites can be reduced to one reflector with the new idea.

With state-of-the-art polishing techniques straylight from surface roughness is decreased and straylight induced by contamination is becoming one of the main contributors to the straylight performance. It is then important to rely on representative models for contamination induced straylight. Typically, industry is using models coming from literature, which can lead to very different results. The activity shall include the following tasks : - A critical review of the existing models shall be performed.

This study investigated the integration of citizen science tasks into a fully realized gaming environment as an innovative solution to challenges in participant retention and data generation. The contractor developed a moon-base building game that incorporates the annotation of small lunar craters (10–100 m) using high-resolution Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) images. Unlike traditional gamification approaches, the design embeds the annotation tasks directly within the core gameplay mechanics, creating a more immersive and engaging user experience. 

The study has allowed HyImpulse to explore criticalities in the development of an electric

Payloads sensitive magnetic fields require low magnetic field emission levels from other payload instruments or platform equipment, or at least the characterization of them. Payloads can be sensitive to constant ("DC") or time-varying ("AC") magnetic fields itself, both periodic and aperiodic, or especially to the spatial field gradients, i.e.
