Impact Risk in LEO as a result of the Increase of Nano and Micro-Satellites

Low Earth orbit (LEO) is experiencing a renaissance thanks to increasing commercialisation of space. The opportunities provided by small satellites are enabling diminutive companies and startups, in particular, to make a significant impact on the space economy. Small satellites have played a vital role in this revolution and they have a unique ability to bring around new products and services at short timescales and for relatively low-cost.

ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE BENEFITS ON BRAIN HEALTH FOR LONG-DURATION SPACEFLIGHT

Poor sleep on the ISS remains one of the major factors, which affect negatively the performance and psychological resilience of astronauts. The development of novel effective countermeasures for sleep loss, performance decrements and psychological deficits during space missions is needed.

Assessment of an Anchoring Device for CubeSat Landers

The current study has evaluated the feasibility of a CubeSat anchoring device in the context of AIM mission. By enabling this capability on a Cubesat type nanosatellite, the overall AIM mission will be further augmented with in-situ scientific measurements such as close surface visual observations, on site plume ejecta monitoring, impact induced accelerations and seismic wave propagated through asteroid body, etc. Moreover, the anchoring device has a strong reuse potential in the context of SSA by the utilisation of Cubesats or small platforms for debris removal techniques.

Development of a dual-channel depolarization lidar technique for the derivation of CALIPSO/Aeolus/EarthCARE-related conversion factors

DEDICAtE, aims to the development of a dual-channel depolarization lidar technique for the derivation of CALIPSO/ADM-Aeolus/EarthCARE-related conversion factors. CALIPSO is capable of retrieving linear particle depolarization ratio at 532 nm in a global scale, providing this well- calibrated product since 2006. Future ESA missions EarthCARE and ADM-Aeolus are based on the employment of the High Spectral Resolution polarization-sensitive lidar technique at 355 nm.

System analysis of deployable components for micro landers in low gravity environment

The project entitled "System analysis of deployable components for micro landers in low gravity environment" is conducted within the framework of the ESA contract no. 4000117150/16/NL/HK/hh. Its goal is to perform an analysis and trade-off between the various design options for antennas and solar array deployment mechanisms (including a comparison between the fixed and deployable configurations) of the MASCOT-2 lander in the micro-gravity environment of Didymoon.

Assessment Study of Autonomous Optical Navigation for an Asteroid Impact Mission

The Asteroid Impact Mission (AIM) is part of the Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA). The intention of AIDA is to send two spacecraft, AIM and Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) to the binary asteroid 65803 Didymos, to investigate the kinetic effects of crashing an impactor spacecraft into the smaller body of the binary asteroid, hereafter called Didymoon. The large body is called Didymain. Ultimately the mission hopes to test whether a spacecraft could successfully deflect an asteroid on collision course with Earth.

PERSEO: PErsonal Radiation Shielding for intErplanetary missiOns

The PERSEO project (PErsonal Radiation Shielding for intErplaetary missiOns) aimed at
studying a wearable innovative radiation protection system to mitigate the effects of
Solar Particle Events (SPE) on astronauts. SPE can be considered as related mainly to
deterministic effects of the cosmic radiation, with hazards to man arising for physical
doses above 2 Gy, when symptoms of the hematopoietic syndrome appear.

Crowd4Sat: Crowdsourcing for Observations from Satellites

The Crowd4Sat project explored a range of crowdsourcing methodologies and technologies, from opportunistic sourcing ­ the ability to extract relevant data from unrelated activities ­ to participatory sourcing, where citizens and authorities explicitly participate in the data collection. The crowdsourced data and information collected ranged from real time pollution data from cars (via the The Floow's technologies who have hundreds of thousands of users on four continents), to crowdsourced geotagged images from sites like Panoramio, Flicker and Twitter, to social media messages (e.g.
