System modelling tools allow analysis of the propellant chemical and fluid dynamic behaviour through the complete propulsion system, from the tanks through the connecting pipes, valves, manifolds, combustion elements and nozzles. These tools support the design and verification of rocket propulsion systems and troubleshoot anomalies during the utilisation phase.The appearance of new propulsion concepts necessitates extensions of these numerical tools.

The millimeter wave domain is also known as the extremely high-frequency (EHF) spectrum ranges from 30 to 300 GHz. Early works on atmospheric propagation in EHF evidenced encouraging future usage for satellite communications. The allocated W-band for satellite services (71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz) seems to provide a favourable attenuation window related to oxygen absorption. The exploitation of W-band may offer many advantages for wireless communications, which make it suitable for satellite links, such as: broad bandwidths for high data rate information transfer (e.g.

This research integrates a complete diving mask with a custom-made VR headset to replicate a space-like setting. Alongside designing and building a waterproof VR headset, a pivotal aspect involves implementing a tracking system to ascertain spatial positioning and orientation. Employing an external tracking system, comprising four cameras housed underwater and affixed to aluminum rails this is achieved using fiducial markers.

Medical imaging capabilities available in the ISS are today limited to an ultrasound scanner. While ultrasound offers a number of advantages, it also has several constraints, in particular in terms of operator dependence and difficulty in acquiring a high-quality images. In the field of medical imaging, ESA has for several years sponsored a number of activities focusing on ultrasound.

The ASIL2ECSS ESA-funded activity aims to reduce the space qualification cost by reusing hardware and software developed for the automotive domain, which complies with the ISO 26262 functional safety standard. In order to do so, ASIL2ECSS created a mapping between the various ECSS standards and ISO 26262 and related automotive standards in a structured way.
