    Introduction to the design of LEO nanosatellite orbits for global and local coverage

    Introduction to the design of LEO nanosatellite orbits for global and local coverage

    12/13 December 2022

    This webinar will present the main criteria needed to optimize the design of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations for global and local coverage.  It will describe the main drivers in defining constellation architecture and provide mathematical means to implement trade off and optimization studies. Orbital evolution will be analyzed using perturbed two-body Keplerian equations and expressions for repeated ground track and revisit time orbits will be derived. Starting from an overview of constellations for global coverage (Walker and Street of Coverage) the webinar will focus on local coverage patterns using special architectures for regional constellation design (flower constellations) aimed at continuous monitoring of areas of interest. Optimization approaches based on genetic algorithms and particle swarm will be described. Applications of constellations for analysis of dedicated areas (Veneto region) will be presented along with examples of configuration achieving maximized visibility from multiple ground stations.

        An overview on space debris protection best practices

        An overview on space debris protection best practices

        28-29 November 2022 9:00-11:00 CET

        Space debris represent a real threat to the Earth orbit access and utilization. In the development and management of a space mission, it is important to focus on the evaluation of impact risk, the protection of spacecraft from debris impact, and the modelling of impact-induced fragmentation.

        This webinar will focus on the current status and the most promising advancements in this field, introducing the best practices suggested by the scientific community and focusing on specific case studies. Attendees will learn about recent advances in catastrophic fragmentation modelling due to hypervelocity impact, impact risk assessment, spacecraft protection.

          Deliver robotic platforms and, in the next future, human missions on a planetary body with an atmosphere is a significant technological challenge. Onboard data acquired during Entry Descent and Landing (EDL) mission phases are typically used to verify the engineering system performances. Nevertheless, such data carry out much information of great scientific value. This webinar introduces the post-flight analysis of EDL mission data with a particular focus on the reconstruction of atmospheric profiles building upon the experience with past missions such as Huygens end ExoMars-2016 and presenting real-world case studies.

              The Space Environment Interaction Engineering: Physics, Test Technology, and Experimental Validation

              The Space Environment Interaction Engineering: Physics, Test Technology, and Experimental Validation

              25 October, 3 and 8 November 2022

              In order to use space for scientific and commercial purposes, it is necessary to understand the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) space environment where most of the activities are now and will be in the future, carried out. LEO environment includes severe hazards such as Atomic Oxygen (AO), Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation, Ionizing Radiation, High Vacuum, Plasma, Micrometeoroids, Debris, Severe Temperature Cycles, and, for some systems, the Re-Entry Environment. It is important to note that these environmental characteristics do simultaneously affect the space systems, materials, and structures, with a remarkable synergistic effect. In order to understand these synergistic effects, whether experimental or theoretical, numerical approaches are of essential importance, as the comprehension of the operative environment becomes a key point to extending the operative life of satellites and structures and withstanding aggressive conditions.

              The course is based on the physics of Space Environment and it is completed with an in-depth analysis of both ground testing methods and the validation of experimental tests according to current regulations given by the major agencies such as ESA and NASA.
