How small satellites can change space science?
Article published by Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management presents a scenario analysis of smallsats and its correspondent launch vehicles. Smallsats are satellites whose wet mass is below 500 kg. These devices are now becoming a booming commercial market with several applications, to improve phone calls, internet and GPS signals around the world, among other services. … Read More →
Study suggests computational model to predict air pollution after a rocket launching
The study suggests a new approach to predict major atmospheric pollutants emissions after a Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) launching, using a weather/air quality computational model. Propellant combustion may release a huge amount of hydrogen chloride (HCl), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter, posing risk to the environment. … Read More →
Study shows vulnerabilities of GPS-dependent systems to electromagnetic attacks
