Use of Earth Observation for sustainable fisheries management in west africa

Ghana and other coastal countries in West Africa are continuously threatened by the adverse effects of IUU fishing in the region. IUU fishing poses an enormous threat to the conservation and management of the dwindling fish stocks, causing multiple adverse consequences for fisheries, coastal and marine ecosystems and for the people who depend on these resources.

Demisability assessment of Optical payloads

Spacecraft and their payloads are required to meet a casualty risk threshold for uncontrolled re-entries. The requirements demand that consideration be paid to the whole spacecraft and payload in order to achieve an optimised mission that is not penalised, where possible, by the cost of performing a controlled entry. The demisability of the spacecraft bus has received significant attention in recent years, the demisability of payloads has received less focus.

InSAR based tarrain motion mapping in support of landslide hazard assessment in high mountain areas

Landslides are a well-known but so far less-investigated hazard and risk in the Cordillera Blanca. In this pilot study, EO information in combination with in-situ measurements and modelling was applied for investigating and monitoring landslide processes in this mountain region.

Automated monitoring of geohazards using Sentinel-2 time series in montainous regions

Slow-moving landslides are of particular threat in many areas around the world, with large impacts on infrastructures and populations. In this project, we aim at developing the tools to detect them and monitor their activity with time, using optical sensors.

Assessment of a Methodology for the Certification of Safety GNC Critical Space Systems

The project is aimed at investigating and assessing methods for the certification of the design and development of Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems for autonomous space missions.
The general objectives of the project are:
• To improve the certification processes (verification, validation, and assurance activities) of safety GNC critical space systems with the goal to reduce the cost, manpower and time for certification.
• To perform research on alternative approaches to reliability and certification to the current practices.

Multi-purpose Cubesat at the ISS

The CubISSat study investigates the feasibility of operating a multi-purpose small satellite in the International Space Station (ISS) environment whose aim is to provide the ground and flight crew with effective tools to cope with a variety of situations, potentially avoiding to rely on complex robotics and extravehicular activities as currently conceived.

Feasibility of ultra low thrust transfers in L1, L2, Sun, Earth & Moon Systems

The number of spacecraft flying in highly nonlinear gravitational fields is largely increased during the last few decades, and probes orbiting in Lissajous or Halo orbits can be found around both the Lagrangian Points L1 and L2 of the Sun-Earth&Moon system.
