GNSS-based Orbital Filter for Earth Moon Transfer Orbits
Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano
Numerous applications, not only Earth-based, but also space-based, have strengthened the interest of the international scientific community in using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) as navigation systems for space missions that require good accu ...
Cambridge University Press2015Properties and nature of Be stars 30. Reliable physical properties of a semi-detached B9.5e+G8III binary BR CMi = HD 61273 compared to those of other well studied semi-detached emission-line binaries
Reliable determination of the basic physical properties of hot emission-line binaries with Roche-lobe filling secondaries is important for developing the theory of mass exchange in binaries. It is a very hard task, however, which is complicated by the pres ...
EDP Sciences2015Performance and Applications of Ionic Electrospray Micro-Propulsion Prototypes
Herbert Shea, Simon Dandavino, Daniel George Courtney
Electric propulsion systems using electrospray ion sources are a scalable and high specific impulse technology which could enable small spacecraft to perform high ΔV missions. This paper presents an overview of a recently developed source design which achi ...
2015Non-retinotopic motion: Efference copies and predictability
Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs
Perception is usually non-retinotopic. For example, a reflector on the wheel of a bicycle is perceived to rotate on a circular orbit, while its retinotopic motion is cycloidal. To investigate non-retinotopic motion perception, we used the Ternus-Pikler dis ...

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère, Vincenzo Capuano, Jia Tian, Yanguang Wang
Over the last few years, new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications have emerged that go far beyond the original objectives of GNSS which was providing position, velocity and timing (PVT) services for land, maritime, and air applications. I ...

EPFL2014Uncooperative Rendezvous and Docking for MicroSats
Jean-Philippe Thiran, Herbert Shea, Volker Gass, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Muriel Richard, Federico Belloni, Oluwaseun Adelowo Araromi, Christophe Dominique Paccolat, Irina Gavrilovich
This paper proposes a solution to perform active debris removal with a cost effective microsatellite. A complex aspect of debris removal in space is the detection and positive identification of the debris, medium to close approach as well as the orbital re ...
2013Analyzing fluctuations in car-following
Many car-following models predict a stable car-following behavior with a very small fluctuation around an equilibrium value g∗ of the net headway g with zero speed-difference Δv between the following and the lead vehicle. However, it is well-known and addi ...

2012Influence of Flow Regime on Mass Transfer in Different Types of Microchannels
Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Madhvanand Namadeo Kashid
The performance of microstructured reactors (or microchannels) for mass-transfer-controlled liquid-liquid reactions depends on flow regimes that define the specific interfacial area for the mass transfer. In the present work, experiments were carried out t ...
