The structural coefficient of restitution describes the kinetic energy dissipation upon low-velocity (~0.1 m/s) impact a small asteroid lander, MASCOT, against hard, ideally elastic plane surface. It is crucial worst-case input for mission analysis landing MACOT on 1km in 2018. We conducted pendulum tests and describe their results.
Abstract The Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (MASCOT), an Lander carried by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, successfully landed on Near-Earth (162173) Ryugu October 03, 2018. Thereby accomplishing first-ever landing of a European spacecraft surface this type celestial body. MASCOT was prototype design new class nano-size science packages for exploration small solar system bodies. very low gravity (thus, escape velocity) target body required miniaturized deployment mechanism with relatively small,...
In the wake of successful Philae landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and launch first Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout, MASCOT, aboard Hayabusa2 space probe to asteroid (162173) Ryugu, small spacecraft in applications related solar system bodies have become a topic increasing interest. Their unique combination efficient capabilities, resource-friendly design inherent robustness makes them attractive as mission element at frontiers exploration by larger well stand-alone low-cost...
In a rapidly urbanizing global environment, anthropogenic sources of pollution [e.g., heavy metals, pharmaceuticals] have increasingly contaminated drinking water like surface- or groundwater, jeopardizing the safe provision potable water.
We present an introductory overview of the capabilities, constraints and challenges to be taken into account in design space missions for HVI research application, focusing on related planetary defence applications, small spacecraft approaches, using our activities projects as examples. Large lightweight deployable structure applications are discussed, large-scale photovoltaic arrays advanced solar-electric propulsion missions, solar sailing a non-fuel-constrained method achieving...
