In this paper it is presented the concept and design of a new type of spacecraft that could be used to make the first manned interstellar travel. Solar one would integrate three near-term technologies, namely: compact nu...

In the modern era, several new technologies are being developed for the most convenient and easy usage of materials. Due to its effortless and quick usage properties, 3D printing technology has a vast application range n...

Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are the manifestation of solar transient eruptions, which can significantly modify the plasma and magnetic conditions in the heliosphere. They are often preceded by a shock, ...

Abstract Nozomi was Japan’s first space mission to Mars, launched on 3 July 1998 UT. It was equipped with the Mars Dust Counter (MDC) which was an impact ionisation dust detector. MDC detected 96 dust particle impacts ...

Between 2005 January 1 and 2017 November 25, the Wind spacecraft measured 3,996,051 electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs) in the near-Earth solar wind. The instrument was calibrated, and velocity moments were ...

Abstract Magnetic nulls are traditionally suggested as main points where energy dissipation occurs during reconnection. Such nulls have been widely observed in the diffusion region of standard reconnection following a tw...

The plasmasphere contains rich small-scale structure that plays a key role in regulating wave propagation and mass transport in the inner magnetosphere, yet the evolution of plasmaspheric density ducts remains poorly und...

Abstract The non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor in f(R, T) gravity can be interpreted as an effective manifestation of dissipation. Motivated by this, we propose a new formulation of f(R, T) gravity based o...

By applying a hybrid (kinetic ions and fluid electrons) simulation code, we study the plasma environment of Saturn's largest moon Titan during Cassini's T96 flyby on 1 December 2013. The T96 encounter marks the only obse...

Brief periods of extreme gravitational transition are anticipated during interplanetary spaceflight, including transitions between microgravity, hypogravity, and hypergravity. Rapid sensorimotor adaptation will occur fol...

Determining the performance characteristics of off the shelf pulsed plasma thrusters to enhance the life time of low earth orbiting platforms was investigated theoretically. Pulsed plasma thruster analysis was accomplish...

Abstract Solar arrays are the primary energy source for spacecraft. Although traditional rigid solar arrays improve power supply, the quality increases proportionally. Hence, it is difficult to satisfy the requirements o...

Abstract Numerous studies have explored modeling the shape of Earth's magnetopause (MP) and bow shock (BS) as a function of incident solar wind conditions, utilizing either magnetohydrodynamic model data or observations ...

In this work, a low-cost attitude navigation system for spacecrafts is presented. The system fuses measurements from a three axis MEMS gyroscope and a CCD camera that identifies a known pattern of points (which emulate t...
