A shadow mask-evaporated pyroMEMS igniter is presented. The metallization was successfully carried out without ignition or any visible degradation of the propellant charge during evaporation. Directly depositing the Joule-heating igniter onto the propellan ...
In recent years, there has been a large increase in the number of small satellites being designed, built and launched. Due to resource constraints, these spacecraft have not generally included any propulsion capability, and this has severely limited missio ...
Micromachining has enabled the downscaling of large, massive and power hungry systems into small batch-produced integrated devices. Recent progress in electrospray thruster technology, in particular the discovery of an ionic emission mode using the ionic l ...
A reliable pyroMEMS igniter was successfully demonstrated based on shadow-mask evaporation of metal directly onto solid propellant drops. In this way, intimate contact between the fuel and the igniter was guaranteed. No visible degradation of the fuel was ...
In this paper we address the issue of network cost efficiency for live streaming peer-to-peer systems. We formalize this as an optimization problem, which features a generic cost function. The latter is appropriate to capture not only ISP-specific link wei ...
Nanoelectrosprays, well known for their use in sample injection for the mass spectrometry of large biomolecules, can also be used in other applications such as spacecraft propulsion. The thrust generated by a single electrospray emitter is well below 1 μN, ...
Swissmetro is a MAGLEV Project between the main cities of Switzerland, designed for a speed up to 500 [km/h] in two tunnels under partial vacuum. Two propulsion variants are considered: - the short stators of the linear homopolar motors are fixed with the ...
One of the principal research axes related to nuclear energy concerns the management of nuclear wastes. In this context, certain innovative pathways are being explored to provide options which could lead to a major reduction of the quantities of radioactiv ...
We present the combination of the numerical 3D magnetic field simulation of SWISSCASE, the new 10 GHz ECR ion source at the University of Bern in Switzerland, and the experimental X-ray Bremsstrahlung measurement of the same ion source, to determine the ho ...
The MUSE4 programme of ADS-related integral experiments has recently been completed at the MASURCA facility at Cadarache (France). Investigations have been carried out in a reference critical fast-spectrum configuration and related sub-critical core config ...
