Magnetic Field Perturbations by Thermo-Electric Effects

Moving charges produce magnetic fields. Since thermal transients produce an electric current, thermal transients produce magnetic fields. It has been shown that generation of these magnetic fields in the vicinity of sensitive instruments leads to a degradation of recorded data.

Getting closer to a theoretical solution and to an effective mitigation technique will help magnetic missions in ESA’s Science Programme, Earth Observation Programme and, in fact, all missions that employ magnetic-sensitive sensors.

Quantum Metrology for Space-Based Tests of Gravitational Physics

This study aimed to develop a framework for studying the effects of spacetime curvature on the propagation of quantum states of light, and to compare them with the propagation of classical light.

Feasibility of using platform magnetometers to observe and detect space weather events

Magnetometers are fundamental instruments used in planetary and space science. Mag- netometers are able to measure the magnetic fields originating in the planet’s interior, past fields encapsulated in rocks in the crust, as well as magnetic fields generated by the mo- tion of charged particles in the plasma environments of ionospheres, magnetospheres and interplanetary space. Currents in space plasma transfer energy over very large distances.

General Relativity Experiment with Galileo satellites 5 and 6 (GREAT)

The GREAT project provides an improved test of Einstein's theory of General Relativity by analyzing the relativistic gravitational redshift as observed in the clock data from GSAT-0201 and GSAT-0202. These satellites have been injected into highly eccentric orbits following a launch mishap, providing us with the unique chance to perform an important test of fundamental physics. The gravitational redshift describes the slowing down of the ticking rate that a clock experiences in a gravitational potential. This effect is a fundamental aspect of Einstein's theory of General Relativity.

Quantum Metrology for Space-Based Tests of Gravitational Physics

Testing the validity of general relativity at cosmological and microscopic scales is a challenging open question. The impediment at cosmological scales is our lack of understanding of dark matter and dark energy. At microscopic scales, it is the unknown effect of gravity on quantum mechanics. Recently, space based matter wave interferometers have been proposed as candidates for addressing certain aspects of both these problems.

M4 Phase A/B1 XIPE PHASE A

XIPE is designed to be launched with a VEGA-C vehicle into an orbit of 550 km and <6° inclination. With this orbit, eclipses last about 35 minutes. Due to remaining spacecraft fragments the mission is planned to end by controlled re-entry. The baseline ground station is Kourou either for S/S or S/X telemetry band, albeit Malindi (or Singapore) is additionally available, if necessary, for additional downloading capability in case of particularly bright sources. The mission duration is 3+2 years.

Synergy between electromagnetic and gravitational fluid dynamics

In several applications it is relevant to quantify the energy exchanges for a system embedded in an electromagnetic field, and to solve the typical equations of electromagnetic fluid dynamics. In order to model such systems, several approximations are usually adopted because of the diculty (in some cases, impossibility) to solve, even numerically, the electromagnetic fluid dynamics equations.

Radiocomm signals: a “new” way of probing the surface of planets

The RC-SIM project is enclosed in the initiative of using more extensively the capability of the radio communication signals (telemetry and datalinks) of interplanetary probes for remote sensing the structure of planets and moons. In more detail, the objectives of this study are:

-Investigate the physical parameters that can be obtained from the use, as a remote sensing instrument, of the radio communication systems on-board interplanetary probes.

European Research Program on hypersonic aerodynamics

This report reviews the recently completed and current work programs on various aspects of hypersonic aerodynamics research conducted in European research organisations. Four main fields are covered: configuration aerodynamics, propulsion aerodynamics, rarefied flows and associated non-equilibrium effects, and real gas effects. In each field, a brief description or comment appears on each job, together with references to published papers, a job index and an address for each contributor.
