FLUIDICS (FLUID DYNAMICS IN SPACE) SLOSH4AOCS

The objective of Fluidics experiment is in the first instance to validate the behavior of fluids predicted by computational tools and a priori models in a controlled long duration microgravity environment. From the technological perspective objective of the experiment addresses issues relative to the slosh of fluids during specific spacecraft and satellites maneuvers. The more fundamental objective aims at observing capillary wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid layer in a low-gravity environment in order to be able to correct the physics assumed in computational tools.

Fast development of kinetic impactor for short-warning asteroid deflection

The study demonstrates that in an emergency situation, with only a very short warning time, the launch of a fast asteroid kinetic deflection mission is feasible (targeting launch-readiness in six months!), given that certain identified pre-requisites have been prepared well in advance. The capabilities and requirements of 'hijacking' and modifying a commercial spacecraft platform in order to perform asteroid kinetic deflection in the shortest possible time were consequently assessed.
