Накратко на български

Ракетите за многократна употреба и възможностите за извеждане на няколко спътника едновременно са в центъра на тези разработки. Те помагат на Европа да развие собствени технологии за достъп до космоса и да остане конкурентоспособна в този сектор.

Advancing Space Access Capabilities - Reusability and Multiple Satellite Injection

Space science and technology have quietly become integral to our daily lives, facilitating faster internet, weather forecasts, navigation, precision farming, and natural disaster monitoring, among other benefits for European society. Recognizing the importance of independent access to space, the 22 member states of the European Space Agency affirmed this goal during the Ministerial Council in December 2016. At that time, the space sector was undergoing rapid transformation, transitioning from government control to a landscape with diverse global space actors, including private companies. This shift, accompanied by the emergence of smaller satellites and mega-constellations, presented new opportunities for space utilization. The launcher market played a significant role in this transition, marked by the success of Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) like Blue Origin’s New Shepard and SpaceX’s Falcon 9. As competition intensified, Europe responded by developing Vega C/E and Ariane 6 to maintain competitiveness and ensure independent access to space. Recognizing the need for innovation and a new generation of engineers, the ASCenSIon project focused on cutting-edge space access research and training. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and upskilling scientists, ASCenSIon aimed to sustain Europe's competitiveness in the launcher domain. Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, ASCenSIon achieved its objectives through the dedication of the Early Stage Researchers and extended consortium members.

Цел на проекта

The purpose of the ASCenSIon project is to develop a programme that focuses on several specific areas of cutting edge space access research, particularly on launcher systems that are (partially) reusable and capable of injecting multiple payloads into multiple orbits. More than providing design concepts, the network aims to identify and advance critical technologies to prove a feasibility of these concepts. Fields of research and training include propulsion technologies and their reusability; Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC); aero-thermo-dynamics of re-entry and safe disposal. A variety of technologies will be advanced, including hybrid rocket engines, electric pump feeding and advanced nozzle configurations. Both computational and experimental (cold-flow and hot fire) techniques will ensure an efficient process and reliable results. The reuse of propulsion systems demands an assessment of their durability. It will be conducted by numerical simulations, system analysis with EcosimPro/ESPSS and experimental test runs. The development and integration of wireless sensor networks will allow health monitoring of these critical subsystems. Moreover, novel GNC strategies and processes have to be developed for the whole mission trajectory. This includes solutions for optimised flexibility w.r.t. the orbital insertion conditions as well as dedicated descend trajectories and GNC missionisation for re-entry. The models will cover various recovery concepts and the support of multiple landing sites. This requires an extensive examination of the aero-thermo-dynamics during re-entry as well as of the interactions between stage recovery and propulsion system layout. Ecological and economical sustainability will be addressed as new payload concepts including large constellations increase the demand for safe disposal and space debris mitigation to ensure an open access to space in the future. Furthermore, the utilisation of so called green propellants will be investigated.
