The knowledge about radiation effects on electronics is an important part in spacecraft design as the radiation environment in space may adversely affect EEE components. The effects can be corrupt data in the best case, but it can also lead to non-working
In this report parameters for the design of a source of energetic neutral atoms, ENAs are suggested. The source is designed to be able to calibrate satellite-borne ENA measuring instruments. It is based upon the sputtering effect, using a 10 keV Ar+
Methods for data reduction of spectral data of the H-alpha line from Fabry-Perot observations with the CIGALE instrument of blue compact galaxies (BCGs) are developed. Velocity fields describing the dynamics of BCGs are created by converting redshifts of the H-alpha line (determined
The increasing demand for high precision spacecraft attitude and orbit maneuvers puts very strict requirements on thrusters and their control. Best suited for this task are proportional thrusters able to produce precise micronewton thrust levels with very little noise. Such thrusters under
The ESA-mission DARWIN will be a formation-flying interferometer, consisting of a total of eight spacecraft whereof six will carry telescopes. Launch is planned for 2015. The primary aim is to detect earth-like planets around nearby stars, and to determine whether there are
In this thesis the search for any solar variable showing a cyclic behaviour in the Debrecen Photoheliographic Data (DPD) is presented. DPD is a detailed sunspot catalogue that has not been explored in this way before. The method used is to test
The investigations in this thesis are motivated by the discovery of a quasi- biennial fluctuation of the sunspot umbra-penumbra area ratio (U/P) in the Debrecen Photoheliographic Data (DPD), a detailed catalogue of sunspot activity. A summary of the phenomenon and the analyses
Recent observations indicate that the majority of all matter in the universe is in the form of a dark energy component, causing the universe to accelerate. An attractrive solution to this scenario would be quintessence, i.e. a model in which the dark
A study of the flow of the solar wind past the terrestrial magnetosphere is done, using a simplified model in two dimensions describing a planar magnetopause. The theoretical analysis is made through ordinary perturbation technique, using Navier-Stokes and MHD equations. Process of
At CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, work is well underway on the new circular particle accelerator Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will be operational around 2007. Certain control systems in the LHC use WorldFIP fieldbusses, and in order to supervise
