Master thesis
Open AccessAdditive manufacturing is a new technology that is currently implemented in different industries such as oil, gas, automation and the medical industry. The objective of this thesis is to analyse whether 3D printing will ... -
Design of an experiment for an orbital payload
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-07-11)
Master thesis
Restricted access - confidentiality agreementNowadays long-term space exploration missions are not efficient in terms of cryogenic propellant management and storage. The exposure of the storage tanks to very harsh environment (radiation, high energy particles or ... -
3 cat-4 attitude control system
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-07-09)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe goal of this Master Thesis (MT) is the development and simulation of detumbling algorithms for the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) of the 3Cat-4 nanosatellite. The difficulty of the ADCS will be given ... -
Study of the impacts of the ionospheric scintillation on a multi-frequency, multi-constellation GBAS ground station
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-06-18)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Indra SistemasIonospheric effects such as ionospheric storms, scintillation, or plasma bubbles are responsible of the performance degradation on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). These threats are caused mainly by solar flares ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-03-05)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe Global Navigation Satelite System, GNSS is a constellation of satellites orbiting around the Earth and transmitting signals that contain ranging codes and navigation data, allowing the user to compute its position and ... -
Astrophysical parameter determination using chaotic orbital regions
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-27)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe goal of this thesis is to show that chaotic orbits of a dynamical system are advantageous (compared with regularnes) to determine the characteristic parameters of the system, and to give an estimate about the behaviour ... -
Implementation of a random forest machine learning algorithm in the context of Gaia space mission
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-14)
Master thesis
Open AccessGaia space astrometry mission will scan about one billion stars an average of 70 times each over five years. During the mission time repeated astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic observations of the entire sky down ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-14)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe vision of the NanoSat Lab of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC BarcelonaTech) is the exploration and development of innovative applications and remote sensing techniques based on standard nano-satellite ... -
Deep reinforcement learning as control method for autonomous UAVs
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-06)
Master thesis
Open AccessDeep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is attracting increasing interest due to its ability to learn how to solve complex tasks in an unknown environment solely by gathering experience. In this thesis, we investigate the use ... -
Introducing required times of arrival to pre-defined routes to enhance sequencing and merging in terminal airspace: A case study for Frankfurt airport PSA25N arrival route
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-10-31)
Master thesis
Open AccessThis thesis presented a new option for the Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) to better handle the traffic in congested Terminal Maneuvering Areas (TMAs). The concept, based on 4D trajectories, uses the required time of arrival ... -
The influence of an asymmetrical structure on the vibrations of satellites
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-10-31)
Master thesis
Open AccessThis thesis describes the influence of an asymmetric structure on the vibration response of satellites, specifically of CubeSat. Two (numerical) versions of asymmetric structure were created based on fractal geometry, as ... -
Energy conversion in a system to generate electricity in the Moon
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-10-30)
Master thesis
Restricted access - confidentiality agreement"I am quite certain that we'll have lunar bases in our lifetime, somewhat like the Antarctic stations and similar scientific outposts, continually manned." These Neil Armstrong words are motivating the world to set up a ...
