    • Study of advanced materials for thermal insulation in the inner Solar System 

      Miró Jané, Arnau (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-09)
      Projecte/Treball Final de Carrera
      Accés obert
      Space harsh environmental condition often calls for an adequate thermal regulation and insulation. In this thesis, a thermal model for a greenhouse in Mars is presented. Its objectives are to achieve and maintain suitable ...
    • Study of Earth-Moon trajectories with solar sail propulsion 

      Canales García, David (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-09)
      Projecte/Treball Final de Carrera
      Accés obert
      The computation of Earth-to-Moon trajectories constitutes an important and interesting chapter of spacecraft trajectory design. The traditional techniques based on Hohmann maneuvers and patched conics allowed the fast ...
    • Study of Earth-to-Jupiter transfers with gravity assist at Mars using the C3 matching technique 

      Torino Rius, Sergi (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-06-22)
      Treball Final de Grau
      Accés restringit per decisió de l'autor
      Space exploration arouses a great interest in the scientific community and, each time, it is intended to deal with more complex and ambitious missions. Nowadays, the computing power allows modelling accurate force fields ...
    • Study of Earth-to-Mars transfers with low-thrust propulsion 

      López Hellín, Xavi (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-09)
      Projecte/Treball Final de Carrera
      Accés obert
      Knowledge and investigation about low-thrust propulsion systems have been increasing during the last years and some spacecrafts employing this technology have succeeded in their objectives, which contribute to the possible ...
    • Study of end-of-life disposal options for highly-inclined geosynchronous satellites 

      Cabot Costa, Elisabeth (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-06)
      Treball Final de Grau
      Accés obert
      In recent years, the growing volume of activities in the northern regions (Arctic, Canada, Northern Russia) has produced an increasing request for communications services. Several studies have concluded that there are ...
