Journal ArticleDOI
Drag and energy accommodation coefficients during sunspot maximum
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the physical drag coefficient of a satellite with a drag coefficient fitted to its observed orbital decay, which was obtained by fitting, in a least squares sense, the semi-major axis decay inferred from the historical two-line elements acquired by the US Space Surveillance Network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active space debris removal by a hybrid propulsion module
Luigi T. DeLuca,F. Bernelli,Filippo Maggi,P. Tadini,Carmen Pardini,L. Anselmo,Michele Grassi,Daniele Pavarin,Alessandro Francesconi,Francesco Branz,Sergio Chiesa,Nicole Viola,Christophe Bonnal,V. I. Trushlyakov,I. V. Belokonov +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the feasibility study of a mission in which the debris is removed by using a hybrid propulsion module as propulsion unit, where the engine is transferred from a servicing platform to the debris target by a robotic arm so to perform a controlled disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical properties and long-term evolution of the debris clouds produced by two catastrophic collisions in Earth orbit
Carmen Pardini,L. Anselmo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the long-term orbit evolution of the three resulting debris clouds and to assess their lifetimes, an updated and more refined estimate of the ballistic parameter and area-to-mass ratio distributions of the fragments was accomplished.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the gravitational interaction in the field of the Earth via satellite laser ranging and the Laser Ranged Satellites Experiment (LARASE)
D. Lucchesi,D. Lucchesi,D. Lucchesi,L. Anselmo,Massimo Bassan,Massimo Bassan,Carmen Pardini,Roberto Peron,Roberto Peron,Giuseppe Pucacco,Giuseppe Pucacco,M. Visco,M. Visco +12 more
TL;DR: The Laser Ranged Satellites Experiment (LARASE) as discussed by the authors is a research program that aims to perform new refined tests and measurements of gravitation in the field of the Earth in the weak field and slow motion (WFSM) limit of general relativity (GR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits and risks of using electrodynamic tethers to de-orbit spacecraft
TL;DR: In this paper, two tests were proposed to compute the fatal impact rate of meteoroids and orbital debris on space tethers in circular orbits, at different altitudes and inclinations, to assess the survival probability of an electrodynamic tether system during typical de-orbiting missions.
