A parametric analysis aimed at minimizing costs of payload to low earth orbit is undertaken. By identifying a range of payload sizes, the effects of manipulating a number of critical parameters involving vehicle configurations on payload costs were examined… Contents 1 Introduction
Title: Development and Testing of a Metabolic Workload Measurement System for Space Suits Real time knowledge of the metabolic workload of an astronaut during an Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) can be instrumental for space suit research, design, and operation. Three indirect calorimetry approaches
Title: Shock-Based Waverider Design with Pressure Gradient Corrections and Computational Simulations Waveriders demonstrate good aerodynamic performance and thus are of special interest for hypersonic applications, especially for engine-airframe integration. The osculating cones waverider method is a generic shock-based derived waverider design method
This thesis (“ROLL CONTROL FOR UAVs BY USE OF A VARIABLE SPAN MORPHING WING“) presents variable span wing morphing (VSWM) as an effector of roll control for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this study, the roll coefficients obtained from VSWM are quantified
Bimodal nuclear thermal rocket (BNTR) engines have been shown to reduce the weight of space vehicles to the Moon, Mars, and beyond by utilizing a common reactor for propulsion and power generation. These savings lead to reduced launch vehicle costs and/or increased
Title: Strategies and Human Interface Techniques for the Treatment of Time Delay During Teleoperation Teleoperation of remotely located space/underwater vehicles requires the human operator to interact with time delayed vehicle responses to issued commands. This often results in the adoption of a
Title: Design and Testing of a Galfenol Tactile Sensor Array The smart material Galfenol, Fe(100-x)Ga(x), where 15<x<28, offers a unique combination of mechanical and magnetostrictive properties that are expected to lead to its use in new sensor and actuator concepts. This thesis
A second-order accurate model has been developed and validated for modeling the unsteady aerodynamics of a wind turbine. The free-vortex wake method consists of the Lagrangian description of the rotor flow field and viscous effects were incorporated using a viscous splitting approach.
ConeXpress is an affordable multi-mission platform that will be launched as auxiliary payload on the Ariane 5 launcher and as such it exploits the excess launch capacity of Ariane 5 for easy access to space. The satellite can be used for different
This Degree project work describes the work and considerations done when porting the real time platform for the Mechweed robot from QNX to Windows 2000. A big part of this project is about the work and considerations needed to be thought of
