Space mission development: Science & Technology | 2023-2024
European Space Agency’s next mission to a comet is aiming for a flyby of a dynamically new comet.
To diagnose how climate change may increase ozone transport from the stratosphere to the troposphere, where ozone has its largest warming potential.
A technique to adjust the closest approach distance to an unknown comet - one parameter that can be changed up to a week before flyby.
Characterising the properties of the dust particles present on the exploration sites and their transportation mechanisms, driven by electrostatic forces.
The ALTIUS scientific team at BIRA-IASB leads the algorithmic development, expanding the satellite retrieval capabilities to more than 10 species.
BIRA-IASB is responsible for the development of the control unit of the IMS-M ion mass spectrometer.
Proposal preparing a space weather science mission at Mars for the European Space Agency
The concept for VenSpec-H, a high-resolution infrared spectrometer, was refined, leading to the construction of the first full breadboard model.
