Do you have a novel and disruptive idea for the future of space infrastructure? Through the European Space Agency - ESA’s LATTICE Campaign, we are looking for innovative technologies to make large space structures (LSSs) more reusable, efficient, and sustainable. Now is your chance to contribute and help shape the future of space. The aim of this campaign is to advance the understanding of the lifecycle of these structures by exploring new approaches to assembly, maintenance, and recycling. Key areas of interest related to the LSS lifecycle include: - 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 - 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 - 𝗢𝗻-𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆 - 𝗨𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Read more and submit your proposal by 𝟯 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: https://lnkd.in/erQjTMT5 #Space #SpaceTech #Sustainability #SpaceInnovation

#SpaceResearch 100: The construction of space habitats requires precise and reliable data. We're using advanced simulation tools to model and predict the behavior of materials and structures in space. #SimulationTools #SpaceConstruction #BIM4Space #DataDrivenDesign

Next in our series of classic hypervelocity impact images. This one shows the impact crater in a monolithic aluminum alloy block created by a 1.2 cm diameter aluminium sphere impacting at 6.8 km/s normal to the target surface. A nominally identical projectile is shown sitting in the bottom of the crater for scale. The test was performed on a two-stage light gas gun at Fraunhofer EMI. The image is one regularly used by the European Space Agency - ESA to highlight the risk of debris impacts. #engineering #spacedebris #orbitaldebris #hypervelocity #impact

Did you know that #quasars are used to build spatial reference frames, and help us understand Earth’s position in space? On Monday at #EGU24, we invite you to a presentation by Rüdiger Haas from Chalmers University of Technology discussing the #VLBI Global Observing System “VGOS – current status, challenges, and prospects”.

New with ESA Pro 2.2: moon phase trigger variable Harness the power of the moon with Nicolaudie Architectural's ESA PRO 2 software, featuring the groundbreaking Lunar Phase Intensity Control. This cutting-edge functionality enables precise synchronization of lighting systems with the lunar cycle, thus providing a natural and dynamic luminous ambiance. Employing intricate triggering mechanisms, the software adeptly modulates the lighting intensity to reflect the moon's radiance, creating an enveloping atmosphere. Exemplary for architectural endeavors and thematic settings, this feature ensures energy conservation and seamless integration into the nocturnal environment. Witness the perfect harmony of technology and the natural world with ESA PRO 2's moon-inspired lighting control. #lightingcontrol #dynamiclighting #nicolaudie #programmingtips

Hey LinkedIn! If you’re new to following me, I talk about #spaceexploration, #spaceinnovation, #spacetechnology, #aerospaceengineering, and #aerospaceinnovation in my blog here: https://lnkd.in/eSUYZ-sS. Let me know if you have any suggestions on what I should post on next!

Cold welding in the vacuum of space. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦: 👇 https://lnkd.in/gEmA26vv https://lnkd.in/gfyHBKtv https://lnkd.in/gYGpKYQa https://lnkd.in/gZFWrbSc 𝐒𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓🔯: Cold welding in space is a phenomenon that can occur when two clean, bare metal surfaces come into contact in the vacuum environment. Unlike traditional welding that uses heat to melt metals together, cold welding creates a bond through atomic attraction. Without the usual oxide layer that forms on metals in the air, the clean surfaces can fuse on a microscopic level. This can be problematic for spacecraft design, as unintended cold welds can jam or lock crucial moving parts. However, researchers are also exploring ways to control this effect for deliberate cold welding in space construction. #Coldwelding #Vacuum #Cleanmetalsurfaces #Atomicattraction #Oxidelayer #Spacecraftdesign #Unintendedwelds #science #scienceexperiment #sciencehumor #scienceandtechnology #ScienceForKids

#StructuralEngineering #EngineeringMagic Before anyone asks, Dr Stella Macharia and the team have not been venturing into space 🛰️🚀 but we wanted to continue our look at some of the of most incredible feats of structural engineering in the world / universe, and the International Space Station is definitely worthy of a mention. ✅ The ultimate jigsaw puzzle - Unlike buildings on Earth, the ISS wasn't built all at once. It's a complex jigsaw puzzle of modules, assembled piece-by-piece by astronauts on spacewalks! Each module, designed and built by different countries, had to fit together perfectly in the zero-gravity environment.👏 ✅Tiny rocks called micrometeoroids can wreak havoc on spacecraft. The ISS uses a multi-layered shield system, with Whipple bumpers and specially designed blankets, to absorb and deflect these spacefaring pebbles.🪨 ✅ The ISS constantly expands and contracts due to temperature changes in orbit. Its flexible joints and truss structures allow it to move with the flow, preventing cracks and ensuring structural integrity. 🌡️ ✅Building in space throws some curveballs. Astronauts use special tools and tethers to move around, and even simple tasks like tightening bolts require immense concentration and skill. ️ ✅A global triumph: The ISS is a testament to international collaboration. Scientists and engineers from 15 countries worked together to overcome immense technical and logistical hurdles, creating a beacon of human ingenuity in the vastness of space.🤩 We can't take any credit for structurally designing the International Space Station 😂 but we have completed surveys, and developed structural drawings & calculations for an impressive range of domestic, commercial and industrial projects.
