The Philae lander, part of the Rosetta mission to investigate comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, was delivered cometary surface in November 2014. Here we report precise circumstances multiple landings Philae, including bouncing trajectory and rebound parameters, based on engineering data conjunction with operational instrument data. These also provide information mechanical properties (strength layering) surface. first touchdown site, Agilkia, appears have a granular soft (with compressive...

Philae’s landing on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko 12 November 2014 was one of the main milestones European Rosetta mission. The nature mission, to land, operate and survive 67P, required a high degree in autonomy on-board software operations scheduling execution concept. baseline timeline consisted predefined validated blocks instrument deployments scientific measurements. These were supported by subsystem activities such as rotation lifting body relative gear allow for specific deployment...

The feasibility of outer planetary missions is strongly dependent on acceptable trip times and the availability an adequate power source not reliant Sun. A Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, which frequently included for generation purposes, can also provide a viable option propulsion when coupled with Electric Propulsion system during transfer phase. This paper describes parametric study into advantages such Generator - combination possible future mission to planets. Three dierent...

An adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer has been established to show that the micro-pillar shear-stress sensor can be used in non-constant free-stream flows measure wall-shear stress distribution. The quality of reference ensured by additional measurements such as and PIV measurements, large-eddy simulations. momentum based Reynolds number is Reθ = 4420 Clauser parameter characterizing β 1.77. introductory discussion on sensitivity reveals only little effect a results since...

A zonal RANS-LES method is presented and applied to the unsteady flow around an airfoil at high angle of attack. The attached boundary layer simulated by RANS whereas laminar separation bubble, laminar-to-turbulent transition, trailing-edge are computed using LES. general domain connected LES overlapping regions. RANS-to-LES transition for turbulent couples a inflow generation with controlled forcing ensure fast smooth transition. from applies reconstruction technique viscosity combined...

Abstract This investigation aims to demonstrate relevant pitfalls of exemplary surface contaminations on polymer blends with respect quality assurance (QA) adhesive joints, and highlights approaches Extended Non-Destructive Testing (ENDT) for tackling the challenges inline during manufacture or repair processes. Greasy fingerprints were intentionally applied surfaces different acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) substrates before joining them a two component (2C) polyurethane (PU)...
