LUMIO: a CubseSat to detect meteoroid impacts on the lunar farside Open
A large number of meteoroids and micrometeoroids enter the Earth–Moon system continuously, constituting a potential threat to our planet. Lunar meteoroid impacts have caused in the past a substantial change in the lunar surface and its pro…
Combined optical line-of-sight and crosslink radiometric navigation for distributed deep-space systems Open
This manuscript aims to present and evaluate the applicability of combining optical line-of-sight (LoS) navigation with crosslink radiometric navigation for deep-space cruising distributed space systems. To do so, a set of four distributed…
Advancements in Designing, Producing, and Operating Off-Earth Infrastructure Open
Sending humans to the Moon and Mars in the near future requires appropriate infrastructure to support and subsequently sustain human activities. This includes infrastructure to shield from environmental conditions, generate energy, and fac…
