Space Radiation Superconductive Shield (SR2S)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Long duration permanence in deep space or on the surface of planet not protected by a thick atmosphere and/or magnetosphere represent a challenge which remains, as today, unsolved. Long time exposure to Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) and Solar Energetic Particles (SEP) is thought to cause a significant increase in the probability of various type of cancers. Means to adequately shield the astronauts fr ...

Space Thermoacoustic Radio-Isotopic Power System (Space TRIPS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The project relates to an advanced thermal to electric conversion for radio-isotopic power systems (RPS). Indeed RPSs are a key for space exploration as the solar power is very low in deep space, notably in Jupiter orbit and beyond. These systems will be also useful for Mars exploration, where solar power is subject to nights and dust storms.So Europe aims to get its independence for such missions ...

Aerogel European Supplying Unit for Space Applications (AerSUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The main purpose of this project is to create an European Supplying Unit for one of the Critical Space Technologies for Europoean Strategic Non-Dependence, the advanced thermal control materials. Currently, the thermal protection of the hardware of spacecrafts is assured by underlying advanced thermal control materials, typically Multi Layer Insulations (MLI). One of the basic materials for MLI, t ...

The innovative use of virtual and mixed reality to increase human comfort by changing the perception of self and space (VR-HYPERSPACE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"VR-HYPERSPACE addresses the concerns expressed in ACARE’s Vision 2020 publication of changing demographics and increased urbanization resulting in society in 2050 and beyond needing more long-range transport for business and social-related mobility. What is required is a radical approach to conventional thinking with regards to the internal and external dimensions of the cabin, and revolutionary ...

SPAce exploration Research for Throttleable Advanced eNgine (SPARTAN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

The SPARTAN research aims at developing a throttable propulsion technology, which is mandatorily needed for any planetary soft and precision landing. It relies on the hybrid engine technology, exploiting its capability of being throttled and its proper performances.This research is complementary to ESA TRP and Piedmont Regional development programs. It implements and strengthens the technological ...

Megawatt Highly Efficient Technologies for Space Power and Propulsion Systems for Long-duration Exploration Missions (MEGAHIT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"Space exploration is one of Europe’s priorities. Nuclear propulsion and power sources are “…essential and enabling key assets for a significant number of exploration missions…” (2005 European WG report on Nuclear Power Sources for Space) and can thus be considered as key technologies for deep-space exploration in Europe, Russia, and the USA. On the other hand, this technological development requi ...

"Prediction, Protection & Reduction of OrbiTal Exposure to Collision Threats" (P²-ROTECT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The strategic importance of space systems is growing in Europe, for civil and defence applications (satellite communications, ..). Recent examples have shown that on-orbit collisions brought on by space debris are important threats. On one hand, some space debris are routinely tracked, making the collisions predictable, but they increase the cost of space missions’ management. On the other hand, ...

Science in Trieste And Researchers (STAR)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

With 3.5 % of the total workforce composed by researchers, Trieste is appropriately known as a “City of Science” and its network of excellence of universities and national and international research organizations is referred to as the “Trieste System”. The STAR project is an offspring of the memorandum signed in 2008 whereby the University of Trieste, the Trieste Municipality and Province, and oth ...
