Analysis of different solar energy acquisition systems for applications in the Moon
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-07-27)
Bachelor thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe big challenge of the NASA and space agencies for years to come is to return to the Moon to build a base of research there. This return to the Moon stays only a stage before the purpose of the big space agencies: the ... -
Assessment of oxygen production on the Moon through reduction of ilmenite
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-02-12)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn the past 20 years, considerable attention been paid to returning to our natural satellite with robotic and, eventually, manned mission(s) not only to continue one the most scientifically fruitful exploration programs ... -
Autonomous optical navigation for orbits around Earth-Moon collinear libration points
(2013)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe analysis of optical navigation in an Earth–Moon libration point orbit is examined. Missions to libration points have been winning momentum during the last decades. Its unique characteristics make it suitable for a ... -

Evaporation and condensation in a thermal energy storage system
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-01-29)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionA long term mission in a lunar base presents technological challenges that have not been solved yet. The electricity production and energy management are some of the most crucial elements of the life support system. The ... -
Heat storage and electricity generation in the Moon during the lunar night
(2013-08-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyOne of the biggest challenges of the exploration of the Moon is the survival of the crew and the lunar assets during the lunar night. The environmental conditions on the lunar surface and its cycle, with long periods of ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-09)
Master thesis (pre-Bologna period)
Open AccessThe objective of the present study is to hold a preliminary analysis and design of a lunar global satellite navigation system able to provide accurate positional information to operators on the surface or in low lunar ... -
Study of Earth-Moon trajectories with solar sail propulsion
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-09)
Master thesis (pre-Bologna period)
Open AccessThe 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 the transfer between libration point orbits and lunar orbits in Earth–Moon system
(2017-02-23)
Article
Open AccessThis paper is devoted to the study of the transfer problem from a libration point orbit of the Earth–Moon system to an orbit around the Moon. The transfer procedure analysed has two legs: the first one is an orbit of the ...
