  • Integrating Life cycle engineering of Space Systems into the Concurrent Design Process

    Featured EPFL Space Center Seminars
    ZOOM
    Virtual Event

    The application of Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) within the concurrent engineering process presents a viable method for assessing environmental, social and economic impacts of space missions. Despite the importance of this for embedding sustainability principles into spacecraft design, the novelty of the concept within the concurrent engineering process has meant […]

  • Setting the Bar for the Replacement of the Probability of Collision Metric in Conjunction Assessment

    Featured EPFL Space Center Seminars
    ZOOM
    Virtual Event

    Professional statisticians can often see issues with, and propose better solutions for, statistical methods that are used in industry; but such proposals often remain unimplemented (and therefore unused) because they are not fully sensitive to the particulars of the application.  The Probability of Collision, a metric used by astrodynamicists to […]

  • Space-Based Solar Power, the Moon and Switzerland – A Case Study

    Featured EPFL Space Center Seminars
    ZOOM
    Virtual Event

    To address the energy and climate crises, renewed interest in Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) is being actively pursued in Europe, USA, Japan, South Korea, and China. The European Space Agency launched its SOLARIS programme in November 2022 to further investigate and mature the feasibility of SBSP through a technology R&D […]

  • MOXIE: Mars OXygen ISRU Experiment

    Featured EPFL Space Center Seminars
    EPFL Campus Room BC 410

    Operating on NASA's Mars2020 Perseverance rover between February 2021 and September 2023, the MOXIE experiment (Mars OXygen ISRU Experiment) produced oxygen at night and in the day during both the annual maximum and minimum atmospheric density periods, as well as at many other times during the year. MOXIE is the […]

  • Non-Volatile Photonics for Zero-Energy Programmable Optical Networks

    Featured EPFL Space Center Seminars
    EPFL Campus room MED 0 1418

    Programmable Photonic Integrated Circuits provide mutability and versatility to optical networks. The ability to implement non-volatile mechanisms onto a standard platform is instrumental in providing zero-energy consumption during the exploitation of a programmed configuration. In this talk, we will see the advancements and challenges of two of the most advanced […]

  • EPFL Space Center – Seminar series: Surviving on Mars

    Featured EPFL Space Center Seminars
    EPFL Campus room CM010 EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
    Hybrid Event

    EPFL Space Center Seminar series SURVIVING ON MARS Future human missions to the Moon or Mars require sustainable life support systems that can provide oxygen, water, and food with minimal reliance on Earth. Unlike the ISS, these missions will face longer durations and greater distances, demanding far more autonomous systems. […]
