- 4. Under the supervision of: “Sir Jahanzaib Qureshi” Assistant Professor Department of Space Science University of Punjab Lahore
- 5. Why we intended to choose this topic??? “The purpose for choosing this topic is to manifest what is actually happening around the world regarding space systems. A joint effort is made to show about the latest technologies that change the arena of space systems.”
- 6. Table of Contents What is Space System??? Recent developments in space system agencies: • ISRO • NASA and Space X • ESA • JAXA • Chinese • New Zealand NASA and Russia are building a new space station
- 7. What is space system??? “A space system basically contains all devices and organizations that forms a space network.” It may contain: • Space segment and ground segment. • Data links among spacecraft, mission or user terminals. Space systems centers including NASA, ESA and ROSCOSMOS etc.
- 9. “ISRO” RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SPACE SYSTEM
- 10. • PSLV take off from India Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Feb. 15,2017. • These contain three satellites from India and 101 smaller nano satellites (Doves) from five other countries which include: • The U.S. ,The Netherlands, Israel, Kazakhstan and Switzerland. India launches “record-breaking” 104 satellites in single flight.
- 11. “NASA” AND “SPACE X” RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SPACE SYSTEM
- 12. Solar Electrical Propulsion(SEP) Consumes 10 times less propellant than conventional chemical propulsion system. Cost savings More safe and secure More reliable More superior propulsion power. Figure descripts: Solar Electrical Propulsion at NASA
- 13. Re-Useable launch System • Achieved successful landing and recovery of first stage in December 2015. • Cost of access to space. • Safely complete its main goal even in the case of one engine shutdown.
- 15. New Horizons; Exploring Pluto and Beyond • 3 billion miles from earth. • Launched in 2006 • Visited Pluto in 2015. • Mountain range on Pluto (11000 feet) • Icy Volcanoes contains nitrogen, CO and Water slurries. • Gases escaped from Pluto and accreted on Charon’s surface. CHARON, PLUTO’S MOON ICY VOLCANO ON PLUTO’S SURFACE
- 16. After 11 years in exile; Pluto become a planet again!!! • In 2006, Pluto was eliminated from the planets by IAU. • Body should be orbit around earth, • Circular shape. • 11 years later, Alan Stern (New Horizons Principle Investigator) proposed. • Having substellar body and assumed a spheroidal shape
- 17. World’s largest solar sail (Sunjammer) • Ultra thin, highly reflective material. • Hitting of photons with mirror like surface could transfer momentum. • Propellant-free space craft. • 13,000 square feet, seven times larger than even before. • Can achieve a distance of 240,000 kilometers per hour. FIGURE DESCRIPTS= Solar Cells exploring the Earth
- 18. LDSD For Mars Landing • LDSD (Low density Supersonic Decelerator). • Technique used the atmospheric drag for the landing of launch vehicles/payload. • Recently capable of lifting two to three tons of payload. • Increases landing accuracy from the margin of 10 to 3km’s. • Save the rocket engines and fuel for maneuvering and land procedures. • How is it works??? Figure descripts: Supersonic parachute at Mars Science Laboratory NASA.
- 21. • What is Relay satellite? • Why we need it and how it works? • (EDRD) launch by the ARTES program of ESA. • Similar to the (ATDRSS) • THEN WHAT IS NEW? • Transmits 1.8 Gbit/s across 45,000 km. • SPACE SEGMENT • Eutelsat 9B (launched in January 2016, at 9 degree E WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? • Real time access • High data rates • Encrypted data down link • Fast forward commanding capability European data relay satellite (EDRS)
- 24. Lasers instead of radio-waves!!! • Photons to transmit more data. • Increase space craft communication performance and efficiency by 10 to 100 times than conventional means. • Without increasing in mass volume, power or spectrum etc. • FIGURE DESCRIPTS: Lasers emanating from a specific surface
- 25. Quantum satellite: Another name; Micius • Launched from Gobi desert. • 17 August 2016. • Use the photon entanglement method. • Work under the Principle of Quantum Physics • HOW IT WORKS??? • First Encrypted message sent through the another normal communication channel. • Encrypted keys of the message sent through the photons (having specific quantum states) • FIGURE DESCRIPTS: WORKING OF QUANTUM SATELLITE An example
- 27. “RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN NEW ZEALAND SPACE AGENCY”
- 29. Revolutionary Design Carbon composite materials: • Electron makes use of advanced carbon composite material instead of metal for a strong and lightweight flight structure. • The carbon composite tanks were specially designed in order to be compatible with the liquid oxygen. FIGURE DESCRIPTS: CARBON COMPOSITE MATERIAL
- 30. Rutherford rocket engine • An oxygen/kerosene pump fed engine. • Uses brushless DC motors and high performance lithium polymer batteries. • Its unique high-performance electric propellant pumps reduce mass and replace hardware with software. • First oxygen/kerosene engine to use 3D printing . FIGURE DESCRIPTS: A test fire of the Rutherford engine.
- 31. A 3D-printed rocket engine just launched a new era of space exploration “Create a three-dimensional object in which layers of material are formed under computer control to create an object.” EXAMPLE: Boeing’s micro lattice
- 32. 3-D Printing nozzle 3-D Printing engine
- 33. • Minimize the weight . • Efficient • Less fuel consumption . • Simple structure. • Reduce the amount of wasted material. • Rutherford is the first oxygen/kerosene engine to use 3D printing with engine print time24 HOURS
- 35. NASA and Roscosmos are building a new space station • Known as Deep Space Gateway . • Will allow mankind to stage space flights to Mars and elsewhere in the Solar System. • Technology developed for the Deep Space Gateway could be implemented into surface bases on the Moon and Mars. SPACE STATION: NASA and Roscosmos hope the Deep Space Gateway will open doors to Mars
