Studying panoramic cameras for lunar exploration (LCAM)

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.

Atom Interferometry Test of the Weak Equivalence Principle in Space

The Atom Interferometry Test of the Weak Equivalence Principle in Space (Q-WEP) is devoted to a precise measurement of the effect of gravity on matter using an atom interferometer; it tests one of the fundamental pillars of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity with high precision and thereby searches for hints of quantum effects in gravity, contributing to the exploration of one of the current frontiers in fundamental physics.

Atom Interferometry Test of the Weak Equivalence Principle in Space parallel studies

The purpose of the “Atom Interferometry Test of the Weak Equivalence Principle in Space” study was to conceive and specify an instrument for an atom interferometry test of the Weak Equivalence Principle (Quantum WEP test, QWEP), focusing on the International Space Station (ISS) as space platform.

Dusty Plasma Environments: Near-Surface Characterization and Modelling

The main goals of the DPEM project was [RD1] "to set the foundations for the development of a comprehensive suite of near surface dusty plasma environment models applicable in particular (but not only) to airless bodies of interest for future exploration missions such as asteroids, the Moon, Phobos and Deimos, etc … These models shall allow the definition of charged dust environment specifications to assess the effects of dusty plasmas on near surface or surface exploration units (spacecraft, payload, lander, astronaut) in a surface-spacecraft-dust environment system."

Concepts for Activities in the Field for Exploration (CAFE)

A considerable amount of supporting research and technology development has to take place on the Earth to allow humans to explore the Moon, Mars and beyond. The Concepts for Activities in the Field for Exploration (CAFE) project aims to support such aims in an international context by preparing a complete catalogue of terrestrial analogue environments that are appropriate for testing human space exploration-related scientific field activities.

Safety for Spacecraft Crashworthiness and Crew Survivability

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.
