The results of the airborne observation of ATV-1 resulted in excellent data about re-entry break-up [1]. The triangulation of the video data showed experimentally the distribution of debris on ground and the spectral data allowed some insight into the destructive entry process[1].

The paper and presentation will introduce the mission and the R&D activities with respect to material, plasma sciences undertaken by the Japanese space start-up 'Astro Live Experiences' (ALE) to develop safe, unparalleled and on-demand shooting stars . Various topics will be covered including, but not limited to:
- the ALE mission and benefit for society
- modeling of plasma and material...
The elemental composition In our early solar system is still one of the key questions to understand its evolution as well as our solar system objects (planets, asteroids, comet, … ) as we know them today [4,5]. Since many decades, scientists try to unravel this composition by a wide variety of experiments, i.e. by laboratory analysis of Interplanetary Dust Particles (IDPs) available from the...
We present a Computational Fluid Radiative Dynamics simulation of the Saint Valentin entry. CFD simulations have been carried out using the ESA code TINA, whereas radiative transfer simulations have been carried out using the SPARK Line-by-Line code, with an updated database capable of reproducing molecular VUV radiation of high temperature air plasmas.
A sensitivity analysis of the radiative...
- Introduction
Meteoroids largely disintegrate during their entry in the atmosphere, contributing significantly to the input of cosmic material to Earth. Yet, their atmospheric entry is not well understood. Among the daily material delivered into our planet, the Chelyabinsk event in 2013 [1] renewed awareness of potential hazards motivating the planning of deflection and mitigation...
