Design of a GNSS-R instrument for spaceborne identification of extreme oceanic events: SWIFT (Spaceborne Wind-speed Investigation for Formation Tracking)
Technical Report
Full-text available
  • Feb 2024
This paper outlines the preliminary design of a Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) Instrument, with the capability of early detection of Extreme Atmospheric Events (EAE) through the measurement of oceanic surface winds over expansive marine areas on Earth. The work begins with the formulation of the mission objectives, follow...

  • Jun 2023
The aim of the following report is to present a different set of solutions for a bi-propellant propulsion system of a 250 kg dry mass spacecraft’s kick-stage engine capable of performing a velocity variation of 2500 m/s. This analysis has been carried out considering two different propulsion couples. The first propulsion couple taken into account h...
