Advisory Council - INTRODUCTIONIn Support of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications SGAC Annual Report 2014 11 1.1 ABOUT THE SGAC The Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) in support of the United Nations (UN) Programme on Space Applications is a non-governmental organisation that aims to represent university students and young space professionals to the United Nations, nation states, and all other actors in the international space arena. SGAC has permanent observer status to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN COPUOS). SGAC has a long history and was conceived at the Third United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Space (UNISPACE-III) in Vienna in 1999. The SGAC Executive Council is made up of representatives from each of the six UN regions. Its focus is on pragmatic advice to space policy makers, based on the interests of the global community of university students and young professionals with an interest in space activities. SGAC’s network includes over 4000 university students and young professionals from approximately 90 countries. 12 Space Generation Advisory Council - In Support of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications SGAC Annual Report 2014 13 1.2 LETTER FROM 1.3 LETTER FROM THE CO-CHAIRS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear members, colleagues and supporters, Dear SGAC members, partners, supporters and friends, The Space Generation Advisory Council is now in its 15th year since its inception at UNISPACE III in Vienna 2014 has been an amazing year. Many positive changes were implemented in the organisation, which in 1999 and we are very proud of the current state of the organisation. Through good teamwork and reinforced the trend of continued development and growth of SGAC that we have been seen for the past determination we have brought together some of the most passionate and enthusiastic young people in the years. world consolidating our goal of representing the space generation in the space sector. The key metrics that SGAC uses to measure its growth - number of delegates attending SGAC events, 2014 was a busy and exciting year for us working on various activities with remarkable success! We organised donation revenue, number of scholarships, partnerships with other organisations, SGAC events and several young professional workshops, worked on papers reflecting the current development of an entire contributions to the international space community- have reached a new record. The SGAC Team is very region and developed a new regional event, the first Asia Pacific Space Generation Workshop. proud our achievements through the continued hard work and dedication of our volunteer members. Our major event in the first half of the year was the third edition of the Space Generation Fusion Forum, The SGAC has continued supporting the United Nations by participating actively at COPUOS meetings which served as a forum to discuss new disruptive developments in the space sector with professionals and and by bringing forward young, fresh ideas from the many SGAC project groups and NPoCs. The project key players of the sector. Thanks to the substantial support of our partners, the Fusion Forum format has groups, now eight of them, have continued to publish educational and technical material on hot space grown to an event we are eagerly looking forward to every year. topics throughout the year. The impact of these reports has brought numerous opportunities for SGAC members to present their work through attending conferences and events around the world. In the second half of the year we hosted our annual event, the Space Generation Congress, which was held in Toronto, Canada. Students and Young professionals from around the globe could work together in finding SGAC has continued to prioritise scholarship opportunities for its members.

HaneVEER MSc Thesis Aerospace Engineering Orbital lifetime predictions An assessment of model-based ballistic coecient estimations and adjustment for temporal drag coecient variations by M.R. Haneveer to obtain the degree of Master of Science at the Delft University of Technology, to be defended publicly on Thursday June 1, 2017 at 14:00 PM. Student number: 4077334 Project duration: September 1, 2016 – June 1, 2017 Thesis committee: Dr. ir. E. N. Doornbos, TU Delft, supervisor Dr. ir. E. J. O. Schrama, TU Delft ir. K. J. Cowan MBA TU Delft An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Summary Objects in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) experience low levels of drag due to the interaction with the outer layers of Earth’s atmosphere. The atmospheric drag reduces the velocity of the object, resulting in a gradual decrease in altitude. With each decayed kilometer the object enters denser portions of the atmosphere accelerating the orbit decay until eventually the object cannot sustain a stable orbit anymore and either crashes onto Earth’s surface or burns up in its atmosphere. The capability of predicting the time an object stays in orbit, whether that object is space junk or a satellite, allows for an estimate of its orbital lifetime - an estimate satellite op- erators work with to schedule science missions and commercial services, as well as use to prove compliance with international agreements stating no passively controlled object is to orbit in LEO longer than 25 years.

By establishing government-industry partnerships, the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program marked a change from the traditional way NASA had worked. Inset photos, right: The COTS program supported two U.S. companies in their efforts to design and build transportation systems to carry cargo to low-Earth orbit. (Top photo—Credit: SpaceX) SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket on May 22, 2012, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. (Second photo) Three days later, the company successfully completed the mission that sent its Dragon spacecraft to the Station. (Third photo—Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls) Orbital Sciences Corp. sent its Antares rocket on its test flight on April 21, 2013, from a new launchpad on Virginia’s eastern shore. Later that year, the second Antares lifted off with Orbital’s cargo capsule, (Fourth photo) the Cygnus, that berthed with the ISS on September 29, 2013. Both companies successfully proved the capability to deliver cargo to the International Space Station by U.S. commercial companies and began a new era of spaceflight.

Abstract: Aerospace technologies are crucial for modern civilization; space-based infrastructure underpins weather forecasting, communications, terrestrial navigation and logistics, planetary observations, solar monitoring, and other indispensable capabilities. Extraplanetary exploration— including orbital surveys and (more recently) roving, flying, or submersible unmanned vehicles—is also a key scientific and technological frontier, believed by many to be paramount to the long-term survival and prosperity of humanity. All of these aerospace applications require reliable control of the craft and the ability to record high-precision measurements of physical quantities. Magnetometers deliver on both of these aspects and have been vital to the success of numerous missions. In this review Citation: Bennett, J.S.; Vyhnalek, paper, we provide an introduction to the relevant instruments and their applications.
