The DESTINY+ mission, led by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), offers a distinctive opportunity for in-situ measurements of cosmic dust. Scheduled launch in 2028, spacecraft will use electric propulsion during its interplanetary trajectory toward target, active asteroid (3200) Phaethon. A high-speed flyby Phaethon, with relative velocity 35 km/s, is key mission objective.The mission's primary scientific payload, Destiny Dust Analyser (DDA), being developed University Stuttgart,...
Abstract Ferrofluid-based systems provide an opportunity for increasing the durability and reliability of systems, where mechanical parts are prone to wear tear. Conventional reaction control based on mechanically mounted rotating disks. Due inherent friction, they suffer from degradation, which may eventually lead failure. This problem is further intensified due limited possibility repair maintenance. aim replace components by exploiting ferrofluidic suspended motion. Ferrofluids consist...
Abstract Climate change necessitates exploring innovative geoengineering solutions to mitigate its effects—one such solution is deploying planetary sunshade satellites at Sun–Earth Lagrange point 1 regulate solar radiation on Earth directly. However, long-span space structures present unique technical challenges, particularly structural scalability, on-orbit manufacturing, and in-situ resource utilization. This paper proposes a concept for the sunshade’s foil support system derives from that...
Abstract Despite all current efforts, climate change is the greatest challenge of 21 st century. Since existing measures will fail to prevent critical tipping points from being reached, in addition terrestrial geoengineering methods, efforts are underway explore new ways implement space-based methods into short-term construction a buffer solution - International Planetary Sunshade (IPSS). The IPSS system reduces solar irradiation mitigating global mean temperature rise while offering...
Abstract The Dedicated Infrastructure and Architecture for Near-Earth Astronautics (DIANA) is a design concept self-sustainable lunar village near the de Gerlache crater, on South Pole, comprising tourists astronauts alike. will be permanently inhabited exploit future technologies to achieve independence from majority of Earth resupply missions. Execution initial construction phase DIANA infrastructure depends primarily persistent supply in-situ material, regolith. Lunar raw materials also...
Abstract In contemporary satellite systems, Reaction Control Systems (RCS) serve as one of the primary means for generating internal torques within Attitude and Orbit System (AOCS). Notably, these systems encompass Wheels (RW) Moment Gyros (CMG), both characterized by mechanically-mounted rotating disks engineered maximized moment inertia. However, this design inherently introduces challenges common to movingmechanical including wear, (non-linear) friction effects, potential degradation. For...
