The scientific goal of the study was the investigation of the
electromagnetic and mechanical response of relevant basalt-like
materials after near-field radiation exposure, to assess the performances
of microwave-assisted drilling technology.

The scope of the project was to investigate and develop suitable strategies for the development of nano-enabled fibre reinforced plastics (neFRP) in order to produce materials tailored to the customer's needs and requirements. Within the scope of the work was also to establish a quality control system to assure that the produced products are of acceptable quality and can be integrated in functional parts for space applications.

Thousands of man-made objects are currently in orbit around the Earth. These range from active satellites to flecks of paint, via spent rocket stages and fragments of satellite debris. Due to the drag of the very thin high altitude atmosphere, these objects have slowly decaying orbits, and will eventually re-enter the Earth's thicker, lower atmosphere. Most will be destroyed on entry due to the aerothermal heating experienced at hypersonic velocities at altitudes between 40 and 80km. However, some objects reach the ground.

The BOUNCED project has assessed the behaviour of elastic tethers within flexible link Active Debris Removal (ADR) systems. This has been achieved by solving a multidimensional set of linear equations, through the separation of dynamic modes; and the construction of analytic and numeric models of the resulting system. These models can be used to simulate the behaviour of both single and multi material tethers across the full lifetime of a tether mission, from pretension, through re-entry burn and free body motion post burn, to re-entry.

Beginning in June 2012, an MSSL-led team have performed a study of the requirements and design of a Lunar Surface Camera Package for Exploration L- CAM for the ESA Lunar Lander. However, the Lunar Lander program was terminated by the ESA Ministerial Council in November 2012. As a result, with four of the six TNs requested in the SoW completed, ESA instructed MSSL to concentrate work on the L-CAM thermal model. The following final report is therefore composed of TNs 1- 4 and the Thermal Report.

Space capsule crew injury protection from landing forces originated from research originally conducted into fast jet ejection. There, the primary focus was on the protection of the pilot’s spine from over-compression and led to the one-dimensional Dynamic Response Index (DRI) for assessing the spinal injury potential of measured acceleration pulses.
