<title>Abstract</title> In-air capturing (IAC) is a promising concept for recovering winged reusable launch vehicles (RLVs) using towing aircraft(TA), without the need any propulsion on board RLV. In this paper, preliminary electromechanical design ofan airborne device presented, which central to IAC technique. The an autonomous system, towedby TA, and docks with boom attached nose of A space exploration load analysis areperformed simplified model, revealing significantly higher loads...
The aerospace industry is recently expressing a growing interest in green, safe and non-toxic propellants for the propulsion systems of new generation space vehicles, which especially true case Cubesat micro-propulsion systems. Demanding requirements are associated to future missions challenges offered by this class spacecraft, where availability system might open possibilities wide range applications including orbital maintenance transfer, formation flying attitude control. To accomplish...
Contribution: This article presents a comprehensive overview of characteristics educational designs collaborative engineering design activities found in literature and how these mediate students' collaboration. Background: Engineers have to solve complex problems that require In education, various been implemented prepare students for professional practices. According cultural historical activity theory (CHAT), can be described terms interrelated elements, i.e., subject, object, tools,...
This paper presents a miniaturized resistojet thruster device with an integrated thin-film heater, capable of delivering thrusts in the micronewton-millinewton range. Its small size (25 mm × 5 1 mm), low mass (162 mg), power and propellant consumption make it very attractive for attitude control nano-satellites (mass 1-10 kg). Based on pressure measurements fabricated devices, thrust is calculated to be 20 μN - mN range, depending flow rate. By heating 350 °C, was increased, resulting 30%...
The low regression rate of plastic hybrid rocket fuels drives combustion chamber designs towards long and slender single-port options or multi-port geometries. Both result in mass geometry penalties for applications with increasing system impulse, while maintaining short burn times. In order to make motors fuel grain geometries a viable option power sounding rockets such as Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering’s flagship project Stratos II, novel combinations are investigated using an...
