Simulation of a full ISRU-based system for energy storage and electricity generation on the Moon
(European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences (EUCASS), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThe survival of the crew and assets during the lunar night is one of the biggest challenges in the exploration of the Moon. The storage and supply of energy are key elements for the success of a mission. We present numerical ... -
Spectral mass gauging in mid-size propellant tanks
(European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences (EUCASS), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe measurement of propellant mass in upper stage tanks during 0g coasting phase is a challenge given the unknown location and shape of the liquid in microgravity. Nevertheless, an accurate mass gauging at any stage of a ... -
An acoustic technique for propellant gauging
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe gauging of propellants in upper stages or satellites in orbit is a challenging task due to the absence of buoyancy, which makes liquids and gases adopt a large variety of configurations. The new Spectral Mass Gauging ... -
Heat transfer management in propellant tanks
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA critical issue in long-term space exploration missions is the storage and management of cryogenic propellants. Storage tanks are exposed to extreme temperatures and radiation, and hot spots might appear on the tank walls ... -
Integrated acoustic technology for boil-off control, mass gauging, and structural health monitoring in cryogenic fuel tanks
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLong-term space exploration missions require efficient systems for cryogenic propellant storage and management. The exposure of the fuel tanks to the in-space operational environment implies the need for efficient technologies ... -
Competencias digitales, sí o sí
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021)
Conference lecture
Open AccessEven if we may consider that young university students are digital natives, it is not clear that they posses the skills corresponding to the level demanded as professionals with a university degree. To assess the level of ... -
An OpenFOAM set-up for simulating thermal winds in mountain/valley configurations
(2021)
Conference report
Open Access -
OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics simulations of thermal wind generation in mountain/valley configurations
(2021)
Conference report
Open AccessThermal winds appear in mountainous areas and valleys due to temperature gradients caused by the buoyancy effects associated with the diurnal heating-cooling cycle of the lower atmosphere. These winds develop over complex ... -
Validation of a fluorometer sensor for characterization of olive varieties and evaluation of fruit ripeness index with non-destructive measurement: preliminary results
(2020)
Conference lecture
Open AccessTraditionally, the criteria for deciding the optimum time to harvest olives are related to the change in color of the fruit. Olive ripeness is caused by the degradation of chlorophyll together with the synthesis of other ... -

Lunar ISRU Energy Storage and Electricity Generation
(2020)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe survival of the astronauts and their equipment is the priority for any long-term exploration mission to the Moon. The provision of energy during the long lunar nights is a critical part of these missions. Several ...
