ROBUST OPTIMIZATION OF LOW-THRUST INTERPLANETARY TRAJECTORIES: Vasile, Massimiliano (Principal Investigator); Period 01-Sep-2017 - 31-Aug-2018
Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP - University of Strathclyde) | Wilson, Andrew: Vasile, Massimiliano (Principal Investigator) Maddock, Christie (Co-investigator) Wilson, Andrew (Research Co-investigator); Period 01-Oct-2015 - 01-Apr-2019
ESA/ITI Robust Mission Design Phase B: Vasile, Massimiliano (Principal Investigator) Riccardi, Annalisa (Co-investigator); Period 16-Jun-2016 - 15-Jun-2017
Multi-Purpose CubeSat at the ISS: Post, Mark (Principal Investigator) Vasile, Massimiliano (Co-investigator); Cubesats are routinely deployed at the ISS but only for classic stand-alone missions, relying on the natural decay of the spacecraft orbit and positive separation from the ISS. Future human exploration missions will require a number of techniques which could be efficiently demonstrated at the ISS with increasing levels of the complexity with a small Cubesat, serving as a multi-purpose platform adaptable for various missions. Among others, the purpose of exterior station inspection will be demonstrated in this project. This study is to define a multi-purpose 8U class Cubesat to be launched from the ISS in a pressurized logistics module and connected to an internal and external docking station for power supply and data transfer (AD[1]).; Period 01-Jan-2016 - 31-May-2016
