Prof. Koizumi will introduce the fundamentals and applications of space propulsion systems. This first seminar will tackle the principle of the rocket propulsion; the content is also applicable for rocket propulsion of the launch vehicle, but here mainly focusing on the propulsion system equipped on the spacecraft. The talk […]
This talk will give an overview of the activities on space sustainability currently undergoing in the Aerospace Centre of Excellence (ACE) at the University of Strathclyde. It will start by presenting what we consider a sustainability paradox. The sustainability paradox comes from the tension between the need for a sustainable […]
For this second seminar, prof. Koizumi will introduce mono-propellant thrusters, bi-propellant thrusters, and a chemical propulsion system. The talk will also include the nozzle theory, which is the acceleration principle of the chemical thrusters and their performance index. Prof. Koizumi has been our guest at eSpace since July 2021. […]
In the third part of the series, prof. Koizumi will categorize electric propulsion by its acceleration method and briefly introduce the various types of electric propulsion thrusters. Here focusing on the gridded ion thruster and Hall-effect thruster, the most common in the current electric propulsion system. Prof. Koizumi has […]
