Securing NG-Ultra FPGA development through innovative System-on-a-Chip (SoC) validation
The BRAVE series of reprogrammable FPGA’s represent an entirely new area of development for microelectronics. These high performance, very advanced electronics could revolutionise the manufacturing process and performance of multiple missions. Alongside their development there is a current industry initiative to standardise avionics systems. As part of this venture, GSTP Element 2 has initiated an activity to develop a standardised box, which will contain all the different computer modules, such as power boards, and ensure they are all compatible.

Fast development of kinetic impactor for short-warning asteroid deflection

The study demonstrates that in an emergency situation, with only a very short warning time, the launch of a fast asteroid kinetic deflection mission is feasible (targeting launch-readiness in six months!), given that certain identified pre-requisites have been prepared well in advance. The capabilities and requirements of 'hijacking' and modifying a commercial spacecraft platform in order to perform asteroid kinetic deflection in the shortest possible time were consequently assessed.

Impact of controlled and semi-controlled re-entry on Spacecraft design

There is increased attention being given to safeguarding Earth's orbital environment, as reflected by the number of relevant regulations that are being set forward by national governments and international organisations. Among others, ESA has published a Space Debris Mitigation Policy for Agency Projects (ESA/ADMIN/IPOL(2014)2), supported by the corresponding ESA Space Debris Mitigation Compliance Verification Guidelines (ESSB-HB-U-002).

Enhancement of Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) Modelling Tool
The current Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) module is increasingly needed to support thermal control design and modelling activities for various missions such as Aeolus, MTG and ExoMars. It is fully operational but only for a limited number of LHP architectures and analytical scenarios and they do not cover current needs. The proposed activity aims to further develop and extend this module the following ways:
  • Tuning of the module to improve performance and steady state convergence.

    Generic AOCS/GNC techniques and design framework for Failure Detection Isolation and Recovery
    The activity will include the following tasks:
     
    • Critical analysis of customer's requirements evolution between fully segregated HW constraints for Safe Mode (traditional ESA approach)and authorised reusepending justifications.
     
    • Critical analysis of current AOCS/GNC FDIR complexity and proposals for simplification with equivalent coverage, including model-based approach orintelligent sensors.

      High-Altitude pseudo-satellites for telecommunication and complementary space applications

      The interest in HAPS is increasing in many areas, from military and security to commercial services. On the telecommunications side, HAPS are seen as relays to provide internet services worldwide, and as a possible complement to satellites. On the Earth observation side, the near-space location of the HAPS enables new services or could improve the existing satellite ones. From the satellite or from the HAPS market sides, it is important to understand how both systems can offer complementary services, and what the possible synergies between them are.

      GEROS-ISS Cost Reduction Exercise

      The main goal of GEROS-ISS is to demonstrate the capabilities of GNSS remote sensing to derive geophysical parameters of ocean, ice and land surfaces, which are associated with geophysical research with special focus on relevant climate change phenomena.
