Lazarus radioisotope generator

Radioisotope generators provide electrical power for spacecraft by converting the energy released by the decay of radioisotope fuel into electricity. Non-thermal converters (voltaic devices) make use of the photoelectric effect much in the same way a solar cell does. They are much easier to miniaturise for future chip-sized deep space probes, however performance quickly degrades due to radiation damage.

European Space Debris Suppression (eSpades)

Space debris is mainly constituted by small items which cannot be de-orbited by using specific satellites launched from the Earth due to costs and difficulty in miniaturizing robotic arms or other rigid actuation systems. In a long-period vision, small cleaning satellites, with a size comparable with the debris to remove, can be manufactured in Space. Traditional robotic systems would be extremely expensive and some also would have problems in grabbing objects with undefined shape.

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).

Small Satellite Missions to Mars – S2M2

The focus of this study was the system-level assessment of potential small mission architectures that could operate at Mars in the 2030s, after or potentially in parallel with MSR mission.

In particular two cases were evaluated:

  • Mission 1: Mars Communications Constellation (MCC), for supporting assets on the surface and providing science
  • Mission 2: Mars Science Orbiter (MSO), a science-driven mission, remote sensing
