Handling Planetary Ice

The main scope of this activity is to carry out preparatory analysis in order to lay the groundwork for the ESA’s future activities. In view of this, a sampling/handling/analysing chain must be designed and all the critical aspects should be underlined in view of future missions.

Contactless asteroid orbit modification system Light touch2

The Light Touch2 concept proposes the use of laser ablation to change the orbital velocity of a 4m, 130 ton, asteroid by 1m/s in less than 3 years A laser beam is used to sublimate part of the asteroid material and generate a low and continuous thrust. This study demonstrates how to implement this concept on a medium class interplanetary spacecraft, here called AdAM (Asteroid Ablation Mission).

Innovative service oriented approach to the procurement and development of an active debris removal demonstration mission

The overall rationale for such a study has been driven by two factors. Firstly the unexpected on-orbit failure of the Envisat mission in 2012, has now created a specific and immediate ‘debris problem’ for ESA. Secondly, the number of and density of damaging space debris in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is predicted to rise in the future, which has the potential to negatively constrain future space operations for all operators and users.
