Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for the Quantum Circuit Compilation Problem

Quantum algorithms process information stored in qubits, the basic memory unit of quantum processors, and quantum operations (called gates) are the building blocks of quantum algorithms. In order to be run on quantum computing hardware, quantum algorithms must be compiled into a set of elementary machine instructions (i.e., quantum gates).

Remote sensing for marine litter – Early Technology Development Scheme (REACT)

The main objectives of the REACT project were to:
▪ Assess how plastic litter can be detected and quantified with current and future remote sensing tools;
▪ Develop adaptive indices insensible to biases induced by sunglint on satellite radiometric products and indicate the constraints of current satellite missions under various atmospheric and illumination conditions;

OMAR – On orbit manufactured spacecraft

The objective of this activity is to assess the system level and design impacts of optimising a satellite design for on-orbit manufacturing and assembly, as well as preparing it to be refurbished, reused or recycled on orbit afterwards, and to identify the technologies needed.

Thales Alenia Space
Using GNSS and Big Data Techniques to improve safety in critical maritime operations

This project was intended to contribute to the implementation of the e-navigation concept (as defined by IMO, Ref. 2.2.6), with primary focus on the navigation in restricted waters, such as harbours, lagoons or regions where the traffic congestion can create conditions for accidents or inefficient operations.

Numerical Simulations for Spacecraft Catastrophic Disruption Analysis

At present, the largest part of the catalogued space debris population consists of fragments originating from accidental explosions of spacecraft and upper stages, but it is expected that hypervelocity collisions involving large objects could become the primary source of new debris in the mid-term future. In this context, understanding the physical processes involved in spacecraft collisions is crucial, because these big impacts are one of the key drivers of the long-term evolution of the amount of space debris.

Environmental aspects of passive de-orbiting devices

The technical objective of this study was to understand the net effect of using deorbiting technologies like sails or tethers over the future debris population around Earth. In principle, indeed, these attractive technologies will support the compliancy to post-mitigation disposal guidelines, for small missions. However, the increased cross section also increases the collision risk.

Spacecraft tracking implications on operations and design of small satellites

Recent trends in miniaturisation of space hardware combined with the provision of affordable and standardised spacecraft components and structures is opening up space to new players and is rapidly increasing the traffic into orbit.

Powering rovers by High Intensity Laser Induction on Planets (PHILIP)

The scope of this study was to investigate the possibility of designing a wireless power transfer system from the lander to the rover, based on laser technology, to:

  • Avoid the use of nuclear power systems, such as the plutonium Multi Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) accommodated onboard the NASA/JPL MSL Curiosity Rover, due to the constraints imposed by the use of radioactive materials

Mission performance assessment for space science missions

The objective of this activity was to propose a general infrastructure of an end-to-end simulator (E2ES) for space science missions, namely an E2ES requirements baseline, reference architecture and an associated library of software models (building blocks, BB) to promote reuse, standardisation and reduction of engineering costs by defining a products/science validation process throughout the lifecycle based on an E2ES.

GALIST Galileo Smart Traceability

GALIST is a project that supports the traceability of food products linked to their position and the occurrence of significant events (e.g. labelling, packaging, shipping). The system is based on an innovative concept that uses GNSS combined with ADSB data, which is provided by airplanes. The GALIST project uses, in fact, a double-certification approach – based on a proprietary algorithm – to keep track of products.
