Aero-Thermodynamic Loads on Lightweight Advanced Structures II (ATLLAS II)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
ATLLAS II is a logical follow-up of a recently finalized FP6 project which has as objectives the identification and assessment of advanced light-weight and high-temperature resistant materials for high-speed vehicles up to Mach 6.The material requirements are first defined through an in-depth feasibility study of a Mach 5-6 vehicle. The consortium has now this capability at hand as they can rely o ...

Electric sail propulsion technology (ESAIL)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
"The Electric Solar Wind Sail (E-sail) is a recent invention of ultra-efficient propellantless in-space propulsion technology. It uses the solar wind charged ions as natural source for producing spacecraft thrust. The E-sail is composed of a set of long, thin, conducting and positively charged tethers which are centrifugally stretched from the main spacecraft and kept electrically charged by an on ...
