Description

Clean Space industrial days

The Clean Space industrial days aim at providing an insight to the technological advancement achieved to date in the fields of ecoDesign for space, technologies for Space Debris Mitigation (SDM) and Active Debris Removal (ADR).

Through its Clean Space initiative, ESA is pioneering an eco-friendly approach to space activities. On the ground, that means adopting greener industrial materials, processes and technologies. In space, it means preserving Earth’s orbital environment as a safe zone, free of debris.

Clean Space is considering the entire lifecycle of space activities, from the early stages of conceptual design to the mission’s end of life – and even beyond, to removal of space debris. Clean Space has three branches, reflecting its mission to assess the environmental impact of Agency programmes as a first step to finding ways to address them in future, and contributing to a more sustainable and competitive European space industry:

  • ecoDesign: designing to address environmental impacts and foster green technologies;
  • CleanSat: designing to reduce the production of space debris;
  • e.Deorbit: removing a large piece of space debris from orbit.

ESA has pioneered ecoDesign for space by performing environmental life-cycle assessments of its launchers and missions. Applying LCA to space activities is a first step towards a cleaner space sector. Based on this work, ESA has developed a space-specific handbook to perform LCA. A great challenge is to use the results of the LCAs to develop cleaner technologies which will be at least as performing than existing technologies. The industrial days will be an opportunity for the European space industry to acquire knowledge on ecoDesign for space missions.

ESA is globally leading the pursuit for Active Debris Removal through its e.Deorbit mission. The objective is to catch a large spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit and to bring it back to Earth in a controlled manner, in order to reduce the risk of growth of space debris. Through this mission, European industry is developing cutting edge technologies for monitoring, rendezvous, capture and deorbiting of space systems.

The CleanSat project started in 2014 and aims to develop technologies to comply with space debris regulations and avoid the generation of new debris from future missions. ESA’s CleanSat project seeks to steer this evolution in a coordinated manner, in direct collaboration with Europe’s leading satellite integrators and their suppliers. By developing technologies that enable future satellites to comply with standards, Europe’s space industry will have an international competitive advantage. CleanSat is developing building blocks that employ innovative technologies to meet space debris mitigation requirements, and that can be adopted on a systematic basis by a variety of satellite platforms.

By bringing together a variety of stakeholders including the public sector, industry and new potential participants, the Clean Space Industrial Days will be a unique opportunity for a broad discussion on the goals and strategies for e.Deorbit, CleanSat and ecoDesign and will be key to determine the next steps. This will be achieved through presentations from both industry and ESA on the state-of-the-art of the current activities and leaving opportunities to side meetings on specific topics as necessary.

AeroThermoDynamics Design for Demise Workshop

The workshop is organised by the “AeroThermoDynamics Design for Demise” (ATD3) Working Group settled by ESA and CNES to understand the aerothermodynamic process which contribute to reduce the amount of debris surviving re-entry. The Workshop is a regular (every 2 years) forum at European level to facilitate the discussions (at technical and scientific level), collect and disseminate information, propose and plan new topics/activities (roadmap definition and coordination) of all relevant aerothermodynamics aspects which governs the demisability problem and hence, increase the confidence on the tools used for that.

In this frame, a limited number of test cases will be validated with respect to efficiency and accuracy of different numerical tools, from low to high fidelity. The workshop provides the opportunity to compare ground facilities and measurement techniques, physical modelling, to explore Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) approaches and verification & validation process.

        Simulating the Beginning of the Congestion-Tipping Period for Earth Orbits
        Earth Orbits are a finite resource. Understandably, this statement is difficult to fathom given the vastness of space, yet Earth orbits are not infinite regions in this vastness. This study proves that Earth orbits are a limited, natural resource and goes on to construct a quantitatve model to estimate the beginning of the period beyond which it would be detrimental for satellites to continue mission operations in an Earth orbit due to increasing population (spacecrafts + space debriis) in these orbits. The study applies the model to Sun Synchrnous Orbits (SSO) in the 450-1000 km belt to demostrate the workings and interpretation of the simulation. This model is a first of its kind and far from being optimal. It is hope that this research paves the way for future developments to this model & introduces a new, much-needed perspective on how we view 'growth in the space sector'.

        Tethered-tugs dynamics and control verification and models validation by 0g experiments on parabolic flights
        The paper presents in details the design, implementation and running of the experiment run by the PoliTethers DAERPoliMi team to verify and validate the flexible connections dynamics in the 0g relevant environment. Space Tugs exploiting tether connection with the target must avoid effects such the bounce back and whiplash provoked by the intrinsic tether flexibility and elasticity. Therefore, well suited control laws, to be exploited in the tugs main actuators activation strategy must be synthetized and robustly verified before application. The presented experiment allowed testing and verifying the proposed wave‐based control law to dump any unwanted and dangerous stack dynamics, leaning on the tension feedback. Interesting aspects regarding the tension modelling were detected, thanks to the microgravity environment, not identified running the functional tests on ground. Data post‐processing and obtained results are discussed, and on going further developments and future expected testing campaigns are presented.

        Design and Dynamic Testing of Tether System as Active Capture Technology for e.Deorbit and Net/Harpoon Based Missions
        The concept of space tethers has great potential in space applications; for this reason they have been investigated as electrodynamics power generators or motors, momentum exchange and orbital stabilization assets or formation flying connection and pulling ropes. In the most recent years, in the context of ESA (European Space Agency) Clean Space Initiative and general interest in space debris removal missions, they have been included as one of the key technologies for capturing and de-orbiting large space target debris by pulling them. Tether as pulling capture system reveals two opposite aspect, a potential simplicity before the capture phase (simple mechanism, simple rendez-vous, versatile and cheaper) and a complexity after capture related the control and complex stack. Tether would act as a flexible link, elastic or rigid, between the chaser spacecraft and its capture system, consisting, for instance, in a harpoon or a net. Tether elasticity is an important element to take into account for the controllability of the stack. On one side, a high elasticity tether leads to a simpler control problem and a better shocks reduction. On the other hand it may include the presence of a potential resonance with sloshing and an increased risk of collision after the de-orbit burn. In Elastic Tether Design and Dynamic Testing, the ESA TRP (Technology Research Program), Arescosmo, with its local partners *Aviospace* and *Gottifredi Maffioli*, are currently studying and developing both a rigid and a highly elastic tether. Main objectives of the TRP are two; first to increase the TRL of the tether for ADR (Active Debris Removal) missions to 5-6 through an extensive environmental and functional test campaign at both material and assembly levels. Second to deliver two full-size (100 meters long) rigid and elastic tethers as fully functional Engineering Model (EM) with associated datasheets tabulating nominal and extreme values for parameters providing also a clear view of the design parameters-performances dependencies for the future CE (Concurrent Engineering) assessments to be done at system and mission levels. The on-going TRP is related to the activities for the e.Deorbit mission, now in Phase B1, and it reflects the ESA implementation plan of technologies required for ADR missions. The current paper describes the work that has been performed so far in the study. This includes design, material level characterization tests, and development tests at assembly level on scaled models of the tether system in various configurations (rigid, flexible, with and without thermal protection system). The relevant test results and the lessons learned that have guided the final design are discussed, including the various engineering challenges that were faced in designing the tether system. These challenges include thermal and chemical constraints resulting from the thruster plumes of the chaser spacecraft, physical performance of the elastic system under various load conditions, and manufacturing considerations such as the need for dedicated thermal treatments (vacuum stripping and heating treatment) of some of the materials used. The paper also describes the customized BoL and EoL tests designed to evaluate the performance of the tether systems before and after ageing in thermal-vacuum conditions. The test program exposed complex failure mechanisms where interfaces (braiding and seaming) were key points the required updates to the system design. In conclusion an overview of the planned activities until the final wrap-up will be presented.
