Mechanical 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 ...
2022Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions
The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...
EPFL2022Femtosecond laser-shockwave induced densification in fused silica
Yves Bellouard, Pieter Vlugter, Arunkrishnan Radhakrishnan, Julien Gilles Edgar Gateau
A tightly focused femtosecond laser-beam in the non-ablative regime can induce a shockwave sufficiently intense to reach local pressures in the giga-Pascal range or more. In a single beam configuration, the location of the highest-pressure zone is nested w ...
2022Physics-based estimates of drag coefficients for the impact pressure calculation of dense snow avalanches.
Christophe Ancey, Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Michael Lukas Kyburz
In avalanche engineering and hazard mapping, computing impact pressures exerted by avalanches on rigid structures has long been a difficult task that requires combining empirical equations, rules of thumb, engineering judgment and experience. Until the 199 ...
2022Sun-synchronous repeat ground tracks and other useful orbits for future space missions
Sun Hee Kim, Luzius Gregor Kronig
The development of oceanography and meteorology has greatly benefited from satellite-based data of Earth's atmosphere and ocean. Traditional Earth observation missions have utilised Sun-synchronous orbits with repeat ground tracks due to their advantages i ...
