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.

Total Column Ozone retrieval from multispectral imagers operating in the visible spectral range

The depletion of stratospheric ozone due to anthropogenic emissions of long-lived substances containing chlorine and other halogens was first identified as a matter of international concern in the mid-1970s and has received increasing attention since the mid-1980s after the discovery of the ozone hole. Today, in spite of the successful application of the Montreal Protocol and its amendments, the atmospheric halogen loading is still above natural levels and will remain so until the middle of this century.

Alcantara: Characterization of Equatorial Ionospheric Anomaly in African/Asian region

The ERICA team set up an ad-hoc measurement campaign (March-October 2015) carried on with contribution of local experts in Indonesia and Vietnam, who conducted the data collection with ground-based instruments deployed in the footprints of EIA and EIT. The set of instruments included scintillation and Total Electron Content (TEC) monitors, magnetometers, and ionosondes. Collected data comprehend raw and processed data from GNSS scintillation monitors and variation of the components of the geomagnetic field.

Autonomous Planetary Payload Survival Support System (APPS)

The objective of the APPS study has been to investigate the feasibility, architectural and system design, and potential performance of a non-nuclear system whose single goal is to provide survival and servicing support to a planetary payload element, in order to ensure its operations despite the absence of sunlight for extended periods. The principle aim is to advance concepts and overall approaches to meet this goal, and to provide a framework for the future development of key technologies.

Space-based Femtosecond Laser Filamentation

This study aimed at developing the numerical framework to investigate whether the remote generation of laser filaments from orbital altitude was theoretically feasible and in this case to gain insights on the required initial laser parameters to remotely generate a filament.

ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE
Autonomous Planetary Payload Survival Support System (APPS)

The APPS study work focusses on the critical technologies required to provide both servicing and support functions to a seismometer payload located on the lunar surface. Although the baseline payload (and by extension the reference mission) has specific requirements, the technology focus of the study allows the outputs to be of broader application to exploration missions to the moon and beyond.
