GE⊕ Lunar Power Station

The main objective of the study is to investigate the technological feasibility of implementing the GE⊕-LPS concept, and its role as a prototype for proposed cislunar scenarios supplying electric power to Earth. The methodological approach to the study has been to identify and validate the most simple and effective solutions which ould be practically implemented with known and existing technologies and approaches.

Quantum Metrology for Space-Based Tests of Gravitational Physics

This study aimed to develop a framework for studying the effects of spacetime curvature on the propagation of quantum states of light, and to compare them with the propagation of classical light. When distributing entangled photon pairs through a gravitational potential, the effect of spacetime curvature on the properties of quantum states can become significant. This could be relevant for plans to use satellites for global quantum key distribution.

Optical Compressive Sensing(CS) technologies for space applications

The project aimed to design an optical instrument based on Compressive Sensing (CS) for a space applications. Conventional sampling or compression methodologies follow the Shannon-Nyquist theorem, which states that if a signal frequency band or spectrum is limited to a frequency B [Hz], the signal is completely determined by a sample-rate larger than 2xB samples per second. Compressive Sensing (CS) provides a fundamentally new approach to data acquisition or signal sampling.

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.

Future Deep Space Optical Communication Architecture

Satellite based optical communications in space is rapidly progressing, involving an increasing number of flight validations in LEO, GEO and beyond. Various space agencies successfully demonstrated both, optical Inter-Satellite communication Links (ISL's) which have been validated in flight experiments since 2001 and direct-to-Earth (DTE) optical communications.

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

Results of this pilot project provide new hints on landslide occurrence in high alpine environments, and shows the enormous potential of satellite-based techniques to map, classify and explore large bedrock instabilities that represent significant hazards throughout remote regions. Moreover, our findings are extremely important especially for developing countries as Bhutan, where systematic acquisition and exploitation of EO data can allow for a better evaluation of landslide hazard at relatively low costs.

AIM OPTEL-µ implementation study on ISS

The Optel-μ Implementation Study on ISS has been set up to assess the feasibility of an IOD (In Orbit Demonstration) of the Optel-μ Space Terminal on the ISS (International Space Station).
The Optel-μ system provides an optical data downlink from a LEO (Low Earth Orbit) S/C to an Optical Ground Station with a data rate up to 2Gbit/s. It is being developed by RUAG Space in the frame of the ARTES program
