Science and Technology for Near-Earth Object Impact Prevention (NEOShield-2)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Impacts of near-Earth objects (NEOs) have contributed to mass extinctions and evolution, and it is a proven fact that NEOs will continue to hit the Earth at irregular intervals in the future, with the potential for catastrophic damage to life and property. With the experience and results gained from the NEOShield project we are now very well equipped to address all aspects of this call, including ...

Stardust-The Asteroid and Space Debris Network (Stardust)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Asteroids and space debris represent a significant hazard for space and terrestrial assets; at the same time asteroids represent also an opportunity. In recent years it has become clear that the increasing population of space debris could lead to catastrophic consequences in the near term. The Kessler syndrome (where the density of objects in orbit is high enough that collisions could set off a ca ...

REconfiguration of CONtrol in Flight for Integral Global Upset REcovery (RECONFIGURE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Commercial aircraft fault tolerant control (FTC) strategies in the flight control system (FCS) are based on fail-safe approaches whereby a nominal control law is switched first to a robust solution and then if necessary to a direct law controlling the actuators surfaces. Each component of the control law set is designed off-line and has a different level of robustness and performance. The reasons ...

Hypersonic Morphing for a Cabin Escape System (HYPMOCES)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"Passenger safety is one of the main drivers for the development of future trans-atmospheric transportation systems. The high levels of energy associated hypersonic flights as well as the level of reliability of the enabling technology leads to the need of a passenger escape system in case of flight abort.The implementation of a cabin escape system for a hypersonic aircraft is challenged by the in ...

A Global Approach to Near-Earth Object Impact Threat Mitigation (NEOSHIELD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

Collisions of asteroids and comets with the Earth have taken place frequently over geological history and have altered the evolutionary course of life; there is no reason why they should not continue to hit the Earth at irregular and unpredictable intervals in the future. Thousands of near-Earth objects (NEOs), mainly asteroids, have been discovered over the past 20 years and the reality of the im ...
