Tommaso Andreussi Anno Accademico 2017/2018 I have whirl’d with the earth at the dawning, When the sky was a vaporous flame; I have seen the dark universe yawning, Where the black planets roll without aim; Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name. Ho vorticato con la terra all'alba, Quando il cielo era una fiamma vaporosa; Ho visto l'universo oscuro che sbadiglia, Dove i pianeti neri rotolano senza scopo; Dove rotolano nel loro orrore inascoltati, senza conoscenza, lustro o nome.

The framework was written in the Python programming language and incorporates many sub- disciplines to generate vehicle designs, model the relevant physics, and analyze flight perfor- mance. The relative performance (payload fraction capability) of different vehicle masses and feed system/propellant configurations was found. The major findings include conceptually viable pressure-fed and electric pump-fed two-stage-to-orbit configurations taking advan- tage of relatively low combustion pressures in increasing overall performance.

Pursuant to Section 27.1412(d) of the Commission’s rules,1 Eutelsat S.A. (“Eutelsat”) hereby submits this Revised Transition Plan incorporating updated information and feedback from the Commission staff in describing the process it intends to follow to effect the relocation of its fixed-satellite service customers out of the 3.7-4.0 GHz band in the contiguous United States (“CONUS”), as required by the Commission’s C-band Order in the above-captioned proceeding. Eutelsat has separately filed a Petition for Expedited Reconsideration or Clarification, in which it has requested that the Commission confirm that eligible replacement satellite costs are limited to satellites operating only in the 4.0-4.2 GHz band (and corresponding uplink band) and covering only the CONUS. Eutelsat further requested that the Commission requires each such subsidized satellite to serve the CONUS for the duration of its useful life, and that the Commission specifically clarifies that the costs of spare satellites and “backup” launches are ineligible.2 Eutelsat continues to urge the Commission to act on that Petition, in order to bring greater clarity and consistency to the process under which C-band satellite operators are developing these Transition Plans. 1 47 C.F.R.

  • Classification of Geosynchronous Objects
    esoc European Space Operations Centre Robert-Bosch-Strasse 5 D-64293 Darmstadt Germany T +49 (0)6151 900 www.esa.int CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS Produced with the DISCOS Database Prepared by ESA’s Space Debris Office Reference GEN-DB-LOG-00211-OPS-GR Issue 20 Revision 0 Date of Issue 28 May 2018 Status Issued Document Type Technical Note Distribution ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution European Space Agency Agence spatiale europeenne´ Abstract This is a status report on geosynchronous objects as of 1 January 2018. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1523 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 0 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 519 are actively controlled, 795 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 189 are in a libration orbit and 19 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 1 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 59 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 54 have not been cata- logued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1582.

  • A Breath of Fresh Air: Air-Scooping Electric Propulsion in Very Low Earth Orbit
    A BREATH OF FRESH AIR: AIR-SCOOPING ELECTRIC PROPULSION IN VERY LOW EARTH ORBIT Rostislav Spektor and Karen L. Jones Air-scooping electric propulsion (ASEP) is a game-changing concept that extends the lifetime of very low Earth orbit (VLEO) satellites by providing periodic reboosting to maintain orbital altitudes. The ASEP concept consists of a solar array-powered space vehicle augmented with electric propulsion (EP) while utilizing ambient air as a propellant. First proposed in the 1960s, ASEP has attracted increased interest and research funding during the past decade. ASEP technology is designed to maintain lower orbital altitudes, which could reduce latency for a communication satellite or increase resolution for a remote sensing satellite. Furthermore, an ASEP space vehicle that stores excess gas in its fuel tank can serve as a reusable space tug, reducing the need for high-power chemical boosters that directly insert satellites into their final orbit. Air-breathing propulsion can only work within a narrow range of operational altitudes, where air molecules exist in sufficient abundance to provide propellant for the thruster but where the density of these molecules does not cause excessive drag on the vehicle. Technical hurdles remain, such as how to optimize the air-scoop design and electric propulsion system. Also, the corrosive VLEO atmosphere poses unique challenges for material durability. Despite these difficulties, both commercial and government researchers are making progress. Although ASEP technology is still immature, it is on the cusp of transitioning between research and development and demonstration phases. This paper describes the technical challenges, innovation leaders, and potential market evolution as satellite operators seek ways to improve performance and endurance.

Huntsville, Alabama 35806 (USA) E-mail: [email protected] NASA is developing propulsion technologies potentially leading to the implementation of a nuclear electric propulsion system supporting robotic exploration of the solar system. The mission limitations imposed by the use of today’s predominantly chemical propulsion systems are many: long trip times, minimal science payload mass, minimal power at the destination for science, and the near-impossibility of encountering multiple targets or even orbiting distant destinations. Performance-based mission analysis, comparing a first generation nuclear electric propulsion system with chemical and solar electric propulsion was performed and will be described in the paper.

  • Increasing Launch Rate and Payload Capabilities
    Aerial Launch Vehicles: Increasing Launch Rate and Payload Capabilities Yves Tscheuschner1 and Alec B. Devereaux2 University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado Two of man's greatest achievements have been the first flight at Kitty Hawk and pushing into the final frontier that is space. Air launch systems aim to combine these great achievements into a revolutionary way to deliver satellites, cargo and eventually people into space. Launching from an aircraft has many advantages, including the ability to launch at any inclination and from above bad weather, which could delay ground launches. While many concepts for launching rockets from an airplane have been developed, very few have made it past the drawing board. Only the Pegasus and, to a lesser extent, SpaceShipOne have truly shown the feasibility of such a system. However, a recent push for rapid, small payload to orbit launches by the military and a general need for cheaper, heavy lift options are leading to an increasing interest in air launch methods. In order for the efficiency and flexibility of the system to be realized, however, additional funding and research are necessary. Nomenclature ALASA = airborne launch assist space access ALS = air launch system DARPA = defense advanced research project agency LEO = low Earth orbit LOX = liquid oxygen RP-1 = rocket propellant 1 MAKS = Russian air launch system MECO = main engine cutoff SS1 = space ship one SS2 = space ship two I. Introduction W hat typically comes to mind when considering launching people or satellites to space are the towering rocket poised on the launch pad.
