The purpose of the activity is to define a payload system that complements the HERA planetary defence demonstration mission to a binary asteroid compatible with a launch in 2023. This mission concept builds on extensive work done by the Agency and European industry and academia, in particular, to enable the use of cubesats in deep space missions (ref. ESA GSP SysNova AO#3 in 2014).

Achievements and status: Space applications: 10 Space applications identified. 2 Space applications assessed with ESATAN Derivation of requirements: Development requirements have been established and demonstrator requirements derived. Investigations freezing point depression: Molecular Dynamics Simulations and DSC Breadboard Tests have shown, that freezing point depression according to Gibbs Thomson is not feasible in the required scale. Thermal Performance Test: Phase Change could not be clearly detected.

RACE has been conceived by ESA as a low-cost IOD mission in low Earth orbit to demonstrate the capability of nano-satellite systems (following the CubeSat form factor) to perform close proximity operations relative to cooperative targets (rendezvous and docking) and optionally uncooperative targets (pose estimation and close fly around) using the following critical miniaturised technologies currently under development in Europe:

    Many different materials and composite materials are used in the field of antennas.Examples are dielectrics, frequency/polarisation selective surfaces, sandwich structures, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics, ceramics, metal plates that can beseen in application ranging from low frequencies up to sub-mm waves. Anaccurate RF characterization of these materials is of vital importance for all future space missions.
