Di Campli Bayard de Volo?, M. Naeije??, C. Rouxy and M. Volpiy ?AVIO Spa on behalf of aizoOn Technology Consulting Strada del Lionetto 6, 10146, Turin, Italy · [email protected] ??Delft University of Technology - Faculty of Aerospace Engineering Kluyverweg 1, 2629 HS Delft, The Netherlands · [email protected] yAVIO Spa - Via degli Esplosivi 1, 00034, Colleferro (Rome), Italy [email protected] · [email protected] Abstract The objective of the presented research is to assess advantages and disadvantages of applying a pseu- dospectral method to practical trajectory optimization by taking the Vega launcher as test case. In par- ticular, the work focuses on the formulation of the launcher ascent problem, including flight constraints, control variables, initial guesses and cost function. Compared to the results obtained with standard guid- ance laws, the proposed approach opens up to slightly higher launcher performances, which is paid in terms of problem complexity. On the other hand, the flexibility of this implementation is confirmed by applications to different target orbits and launcher configurations. 1. Introduction Given the current technological limitations, launch missions are extremely expensive: rockets are huge, being about 100 times more massive than the payload, and most of the times expendable. Consequently, trajectory optimization plays a major role in reducing the launch cost. Universities, companies, agencies and research centres have their own optimization software and continuously try to improve the existing methods.

  • Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis of Space Launch Vehicles ⁎ John M
    The Journal of Space Safety Engineering xxx (xxxx) xxx–xxx Contents lists available at ScienceDirect The Journal of Space Safety Engineering journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jsse Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis of space launch vehicles ⁎ John M. Risinga, , Nancy G. Levesonb a Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA b Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA ABSTRACT This article demonstrates how Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) can be used as a powerful tool to identify, mitigate, and eliminate hazards throughout the space launch system lifecycle. Hazard analysis tech- niques commonly used to evaluate launch vehicle safety use reliability theory as their foundation, but most modern space launch vehicle accidents have resulted from design errors or other factors independent of com- ponent reliability. This article reviews safety analysis methods as they are applied to space launch vehicles, and demonstrates that they are unable to treat many of the causal factors associated with modern launch accidents. Next, it describes how STPA can be applied to the design of space launch vehicles to treat these casual factors. Safety-guided design with STPA is then demonstrated with a hypothetical small-lift launch vehicle, launch safety system, and upper stage propulsion system. 1. Introduction reliability-based tools often used to evaluate safety are unable to predict or analyze software and component interactions. Furthermore, the 1.1. Motivation growing popularity of autonomous flight termination systems (AFTS) reinforces the need for software safety analysis tools. Designers of The causal factors of launch vehicle accidents are changing. Early launch systems need hazard analysis tools that are better equipped to accidents were often caused by electromechanical component failures, handle these new causes of launch vehicle accidents.

    Atmospheric Drag, Occultation 'N' Ionospheric Scintillation (ADONIS) Mission proposal Alpbach Team Orange: M. Edl F. Gini J. Gorski S. Hettrich Y. Kempf N. Magnet L.-K. Glesnes Ødegaard N. Perakis J. Praks O.W. Roberts D. Sarria M. Schemmer S. Schindler D. Steenari J. Urb´aˇr M. V. D´osa M. Volwerk 25th July 2013 The Atmospheric Drag, Occultation 'N' Ionospheric Scintillation mission (ADONIS) is a space weather mission that studies the dynamics of the terrestrial thermosphere and ionosphere over a full solar cycle in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The objectives are to investigate satellite drag with in-situ measurements, and the ionospheric electron density profiles with radio occultation and scintillation measurements. With a constellation of two spacecraft it is possible to provide near real-time data (NRT) about ionospheric conditions over the northern polar region where current measurements are currently insufficient. The mission shall also provide global high-resolution data to improve ionospheric models. The low-cost constellation can be launched using a single Vega rocket and most of the instruments are already space-proven which allows rapid development and reliability. 1 Introduction the drag felt by satellites. Common examples are the re-entry of the Skylab mission [3] or the fast decay The Sun is continuously emitting particles and of the International Space Station's orbit requiring electromagnetic radiation into interplanetary space. frequent altitude boosts.
