Presented here in this thesis is the project work performed for the Master of Science degree in Space Engineering from Luleå University of technology, Sweden. This project work was conducted at the Arecibo Observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, where I, during 6
The broad interest in exploration of Mars demands instruments to be developed for the preliminary Mars Smart Lander Mission in 2009 by NASA. This report describes the development at the University of Michigan of a laboratory-scale Mars atmospheric sampling system redesigned after
A new particle accelerator, called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is currently under development at CERN in Geneva. It will be the most powerful accelerator in the world, allowing protons to collide at an energy of 14 TeV. Of the four experiments
A model that describes the orbital dynamics and another for the thermal behavior are obtained. The formalism used to represent them is the so- called Bond Graph. Their accuracy is checked with the aid of other softwares especially devoted to represent orbits
This diploma thesis is focused on brushless DC motors, how they work and how to control them using phase tables. It describes the internals of existing motion control library (PXMC) and provides documentation of its elements, which were published under GPL license.
Mars is currently centre of interest for space exploration. Tremendous efforts are still in progress to find clues of existence of life on Mars. Rovers are major sources of information of Mars. This thesis focuses on a robotic roving vehicle ROSA having
The release of energetic particles by solar flares offers the possibility to study the interaction of charged particles with fluctuations in magnetised plasmas and to obtain information about the particle transport in astrophysical objects. Within this work the received data set of
Given the long traverse times and severe environmental constraints on planet Mars, the only option feasible now is to observe and explore the planet through more sophisticated planetary rovers. To achieve increasingly ambitious mission objectives under such extreme conditions, autonomy for planetary
Functions for modeling vehicle-ground interaction for an Avant front-end loader were developed for the simulation of robotic earth-moving tasks. A stand-alone Matlab program was used to test the functions, which are meant to be the first step in implementing vehicle-ground interaction capability
Robots are designed to help humans. Space robots are of particular importance as they aid or replace astronauts in difficult possibly dangerous extravehicular activities. However, robot intelligence and autonomy are still limited. Therefore, robots need to be supervised or directly teleoperated in
