Preparation of enabling space technologies and building blocks: GNC and Robotic arm combined control

The research activity aimed at the development of relative navigation and combined control algorithms for controlling an autonomous spacecraft equipped with a redundant manipulator used to capture a target spacecraft. Numerical testing of the GNC solution proposed was performed through an accurate and realistic simulation tool. The GNC system shows good performance for all the considered scenarios, although SC3 is the most challenging due to the high rotation rate of the target. The error budget analysis has highlighted the major sources of errors.

Monitoring of land-related processes in South America using multi-parameter SAR: Soil and Vegetation monitoring in Pampas and Chaco forest

The forthcoming launch of SAOCOM satellites will make multitemporal L band signatures available. To take benefit from this opportunity, this study analyzes and models L band signatures of typical Argentinean crops, and proposes an algorithm able to retrieve soil moisture.

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.

SAOCOM-CS bi-static modes for land applications

The project summarized here was conceived to support the definition of applications, products and user requirements, as well as the hardware design and ground processing design of a companion satellite mission which will carry aboard a "passive" radar working in tandem with the Argentinian L-band radar developed by CONAE and denoted as SAOCOM. The primary objective (i.e., science driver) of the SAOCOM companion satellite mission (SAOCOM-CS) is forest tomography, which will be carried out by exploiting small baselines between active and passive systems (order of km) changing with time.

Synergy between electromagnetic and gravitational fluid dynamics

In several applications it is relevant to quantify the energy exchanges for a system embedded in an electromagnetic field, and to solve the typical equations of electromagnetic fluid dynamics. In order to model such systems, several approximations are usually adopted because of the diculty (in some cases, impossibility) to solve, even numerically, the electromagnetic fluid dynamics equations.
