Design process of a reusable Space Tug based on a Model Based approach
In the last years, space agencies are showing an increasing interest in space tug systems concept for a large range of future applications. The space tug is a spacecraft able to transfer payloads from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to higher operational orbits. It allows the reduction of the spacecraft mass because some subsystems decrease in term of complexity (i.e the propulsion system), and the impro...
متن کاملThe Concept of a Stare-Mode Astrometric Space Mission
In this paper, we introduce the concept of a stare-mode astrometric space mission. The traditionally accepted mode of operation for a mapping astrometric space mission is that of a continuously scanning satellite, such as the successful Hipparcos and planned Gaia missions. With the advent of astrometry missions mapping out stars to 20th magnitude, the stare mode has become competitive. A stare ...

متن کاملGaia Space Mission and Quasars
Quasars are often considered to be point-like objects. This is largely true and allows for an excellent alignment of the optical positional reference frame of the ongoing ESA mission Gaia with the International Celestial Reference Frame. But presence of optical jets in quasars can cause shifts of the optical photo-centers at levels detectable by Gaia. Similarly, motion of emitting blobs in the ...
متن کاملSIGNAL: Mission Concept and Performance Assessment
SIGNAL (SAR for Ice, Glacier and oceaN globAL dynamics) is a proposal for an innovative Earth observation mission, under study at German Space Agency. The mission objectives include the determination of ice topography and its temporal changes, the monitoring of fast-flowing glaciers, and the characterisation of ocean currents, by using Ka-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Two approaches to t...
