Material Properties under cryogenic conditions (LH2/GH2 and LOx/GOx)

Test data on material properties and material performance under cryogenic conditions are increasingly required or current and future research, development and application activities (e.g. launcher propulsion systems). The very limited available data base does currently not cover new advanced metallic alloys, composite materials or materials manufactured with new processes e.g. Additive Manufacturing as selected and required for the next generation launcher and spacecraft missions.

Development of a Compliant Mechanism Based on Additive Manufacturing
Compliant mechanisms (e.g. flexural joints) are applied where the relative motion of parts can be accomplished without using traditional bearings. Slender structures can be properly arranged to provide functions like accurate guiding, speed reduction, or change of motion direction. Compared to traditional mechanisms using bearings, significant improvements are expected. These include a decrease of part count number, frictionless motion transmission, which decreases losses, higher motion ranges, enhanced stiffness, and improved accuracy due to the avoidance of backlash.

De-risk assessment: Ceramic Packages for Magneto-resistive Sensors

A GSTP De-Risk Framework with RUAG Space Germany designed and demonstrated a novel, compact and robust sensor head for angular sensors for space mechanisms, using modern and advanced materials and manufacturing methods.

The final performance tests provided evidence in terms of high precision manufacturability of ceramic packages.

The robust design was found to be suitable for the harsh space environment

Robotic manufacturing of fibrous structures in space

Motivation: This study aimed to develop promising robotic fabrication methodologies for a fibre-based in-situ robotic fabrication process, for application in a lunar habitat as an alternative to existing additive manufacturing methodologies. Previous work has verified that fibre composite fabrication processes are capable of a high degree of automation and structural performance.

Universität Stuttgart
Real-time verification and testing facilities for image processing for navigation
The facilities shall be suited for any space flight mission specially those relying on image processing for navigation (visible, infrared, multispectral, LIDAR). The facilities shall support MIL, SIL, PIL, and HIL verification types, and shall allow testing in open-loop and closed-loop configurations. Subsystem aspects shall be considered to cover interdisciplinary verification aspects. The facilities shall be modular, supporting fast and flexible scenario configuration and shall be movable and relocatable.

Novel thermal energy storage and electricity generation for Moon exploration

One of the most critical points in the exploration of space beyond Earth orbit is the provision of systems which ensure the survival of both crew and technological assets, such as rovers an landers. The utilisation of the Moon, being the next logical step in implementing the global strategy for colonising the Solar System, is a focus of national and international space agencies.

Scientific concept study for wide-swath high-resolution cloud profiling

This study focused on the synergistic retrieval of cloud information from active and passive observations. While this synergistic approach is well established for precipitation, it is used less for clouds.

Prototype Retrieval Algorithms Based on Synergistic Use of Microwave and Optical Imagers for land application

With the launch of the first Sentinel satellites, a new era in Earth observation has started that allows for the development of new approaches that use these novel observations at high temporal frequencies and fine spatial resolution with complementary information from the optical and microwave spectral domains. One very important application for is the monitoring of crops.

Augmented and Virtual Reality Techniques To Enhance the Execution of Operational Procedures by Astronauts and Spacecraft Operators

<p>Augmented reality (AR) displays are image-forming systems that use a set of optical, electronic, and mechanical components to generate images somewhere on the optical path between an observer’s eyes and the physical object to be augmented.</p><p>AR provides a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment and augments (or supplements) this view with computer-generated input such as sound, video, graphics, 3D objects or GPS data.</p><p>AR&nbsp;improves users’ experience by enabling them to interact with and learn from whatever they are

Advanced Automation Concept for Complex Constellation Management

Recently, a variety of satellite constellations, some of them featuring over a thousand satellites, were announced. While similar concepts for large constellations already existed in the past, existing satellite constellations hardly ever feature triple-digit satellite quantities. At the time of writing, the world’s largest constellation is operated by Planet Labs and consists of 190+ Dove spacecraft.
