Safe Schedule Verification for Urban Air Mobility Networks With Node Closures
In urban air mobility (UAM) networks, takeoff and landing sites, called vertiports, are likely to experience intermittent closures due to, e.g., adverse weather. To ensure safety, all in-flight urban air vehicles (UAVs) in a UAM network must therefore have ...
2024Mechanical design of the optical unit and structural subsystem for a lunar camera
The project was initiated by the Moon Village Association (MVA). It is a non-governmental association which regulates the exploration program of lunar missions. The MVA also works on the development of space technologies: the Payload1 project is a part of ...
2022Design and development of the efficient anguilliform swimming robot- MAR
Auke Ijspeert, Peter Eckert, Anouk Looijestijn
Propulsion of swimming robots at the surface and underwater is largely dominated by rotary propellers due to high thrust, but at the cost of low efficiency. Due to their inherently high speed turning motion, sharp propeller blades and generated noise, they ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2020Accuracy Prediction in Aerial Mapping
Low cost and low weight unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems with imaging capability have enjoyed a rapid development over the past years and are increasingly deployed as carriers for mapping purposes. They present a well-established tool for local-area r ...
2017Deactivation Aspects of Methane Oxidation Catalysts Based on Palladium and ZSM-5
Catalytic methane oxidation is used in exhaust gas after treatment to reduce methane emissions in stationary combustion processes as well as in natural gas vehicles. Pd/zeolite catalysts provide higher activity than the commonly used Pd/Al2O3, but suffer f ...
Springer Verlag2017Asteroid Deflection Campaign Design Integrating Epistemic Uncertainties
Patricia Egger, Sung Wook Paek
Asteroid deflection entails multiple sources of epistemic uncertainties and stochastic uncertainties. Epistemic uncertainties can be reduced by replenishing incomplete information with a better means of observation, whereas stochastic uncertainties are inh ...
Ieee2016GPS-based orbital filter to reach the moon
Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano
Nowadays, global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) are used for many new applications that go further than the original goal of providing position, velocity and timing for land, maritime and air applications. In particular, GNSS receivers have been adop ...
2015Numerical Simulations of the Apollo 4 Re-entry Trajectory
Sample return capsules, as the Apollo Command Module have been widely used to ad- vance the knowledge and planning of manned lunar and planetary return missions. Such reentry vehicles undergo extreme thermal conditions, caused by shock-heated air during th ...
