With the emergence of new businesses in the space market, historic launch service providers and newcomers are proposing cheaper launch services through low-cost launchers or reusable ones. In order to introduce these new actors of the launcher sector,  the COMET-ORB is organizing a seminar on Low-Cost Launcher Services and their Impact. This seminar is an opportunity to discover some of the new launchers that will soon come to fly, their ...

This main purpose of this seminar was to make experts in space guidance and electric propulsion exchange on diverse propulsion technologies and on the compliance of these technologies with future missions. But it was also a time to discuss the effects of these technologies on guidance methods. As electric propulsion reaches maturity, it allows studies about new missions in which guidance algorithms have been adapted or renewed. The aim of the seminar ...

This seminar focused on the optimal control methods used on a daily basis in three domains : finance, structures and medical Imaging Context Optimal control is a building block of mission analysis via trajectory optimisation : launcher, transfer or rendezvous ; low or high thrust ; two, three or four body problem ; local or global solution, etc… Research is very active with preferred classes of methods depending on the applications and the epochs. However optimal control is not ...

Cet atelier créativité était dédié à l'idéation de sujets de R&T inclus dans le périmètre de la COMET ORB en amont de l'appel à idées de R&T du CNES. Il a réuni une vingtaine de participants permettant de faire émerger un réservoir d'idées en cours d'exploitation. Pour plus d'informations n'hésitez pas à contacter les animateurs de la COMET ORB.

THIS EVENT WAS IN FRENCH This mini information seminar, the detailed programme for which can be found under § resources below, made it possible to present the multiple LEOP operations (MIP in French, LEOP in English) of the Galileo satellites. The focus was on the operational changes caused by the transition from double operations to quadruple operations, in terms of human organisation, infrastructure on the ground, ground stations, etc. Participants were then invited ...
