Exciting news! 🚀 🛰️ Our Springer Nature Book titled: "Recent Advancements in Green Propulsion: Green Propellants for Micropropulsion Systems" Co-editors: Rachid Amrousse (University of Chouaib Doukkali, El Jadida, Morocco) & Qi-Long Yan (North Western Polytechnical University, Xi'an, China). ISBN: 3031625730, 9783031625732 Officially published after 2 years of hard work! This book introduces recent developments in green propellants and green propulsion systems by various worldwide research groups. Various space agencies across the globe have accelerated the development of non-toxic green propellants, and the European Union is planning to phase out hydrazine (liquid) and ammonium perchlorate (solid) as propellants in the future, as it was identified as substances of high concern by the REACh regulation. Although the process is still ongoing, it has triggered the development of attractive new propellants and technologies for the market, fostering research for non-toxic, high-performance alternative technologies. Several green propellants and green propulsion systems have been developed, tested, and even commercialized, such as ADN- or HAN-based propulsion, hydrogen peroxide propulsion, and water propulsion technology, where water is electrolyzed in orbit to O2 and H2, then combusted for the generation of thrust. This book describes proposed solutions to replace hydrazine, its derivatives, and ammonium perchlorate with green propellants, discusses recent progress in environmentally friendly propellant systems, and covers recent advancements in materials, catalysts, and oxidizers for green solid rocket propellants. It aims to provide necessary technical information for space mission and propulsion systems designers and researchers in this aerospace field. Several worldwide known researchers contributed to this book from: JAXA and IHI (Japan), DLR (Germany), NASA (USA), ESA (Europe), Łukasiewicz-ILOT (Poland) and so on. Others from China, Turkey, Kazakhstan, France, India, Italy, Taiwan and Morocco.

Comet research and mechanical engineering in Hanover? ☄️ YES at the ITA! Together with the Institute of Geophysics and Extraterrestrial Physics (IGEP) at Technische Universität Braunschweig, the research project "Activity of Comets under Partial Gravity" (AKUS) is being carried out at the Einstein-Elevator. The main aim of the project is to investigate the ejection of dust from comet surfaces which is responsible for the resulting tail of comets. To enable realistic conditions for comet-like samples in addition to temperature and vacuum, gravity levels of small Solar System bodies are required for the use inside the Einstein-Elevator. The ITA is realizing the drive concept for this, so that the adjustable gravity conditions on the Einstein-Elevator will range from microgravity to 5 g. Currently, most of the components have been delivered and first basic tests of the drives will be conducted soon. 🎉 🤝 The joint project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) in cooperation with the DLR.   #Spaceresearch #Engineering #Innovation #Comet #Forschung #EinsteinElevator #DLR #wieeinkomet Photo credits: Leibniz Univeristät Hannover/ITA and Technische Universität Braunschweig/IGEP, photo of the comet: NASA

A team of researchers led by cosmochemist Maitrayee Bose from Arizona State University has investigated the sulfur chemistry in samples from the surface of asteroid Ryugu. These samples were collected in February 2019 by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration mission Hayabusa2, which returned to Earth on December 5, 2019, bringing back the samples in a capsule. The results of their study have been recently published in Science Advances. "We found a large diversity of sulfur-bearing organic molecules in the samples retrieved from the surface of the C-type asteroid Ryugu, and a sulfate mineral that is isotopically anomalous,” said Bose, an associate professor with School of Earth and Space Exploration at ASU. The team's research indicates that undifferentiated asteroids have signs of events that happened both before our solar system formed — during the molecular cloud phase around 4.6 billion years ago, defined as time zero (t=0) — and after the asteroids themselves had formed about 2 to 3 million years later, after time zero. The major focus of the team’s efforts was to identify and determine the composition of sulfur-bearing minerals and organics produced by fluid alteration in two Ryugu particles each about 2.1 mm in size (similar in size to the tip of a basic crayon), and to infer the fluid characteristics that operated on Ryugu. The team also studied two meteorites, Murchison and GRA 95229, both rich in organics, to compare to the Ryugu results. Part of this study was done at ASU Core Research Facilities and Bose’ labs equipped with high-end clean rooms with various instrumentation capable of analyzing dust grains from other solar system bodies. Bose is the principal investigator of the NanoSIMS facility with funding from the National Science Foundation, and her research also includes investigating Venus and Ceres analogs. Samples from return missions offer superb opportunities to learn things about other planetary bodies in our solar system that cannot be determined by observations using spacecraft in orbit around the object. The returned samples can be kept pristine (also for future generations), and studied in terrestrial laboratories, under highly controlled conditions.

The futuristic propulsion and gravity control field has fascinated scientists, engineers, and geeks worldwide. Advancements in this machine’s rather exotic realm have been met with enthusiasm and disapproval by the Physical Sciences. Additionally, ending conventional perceptions of physics while at the same time presenting the prospect of interstellar travel, potential propulsion systems, and potential new forms of energy production. These developments are more exciting as they can transform how we interact with space and define technological progress in the future decades. APEC includes participants from various fields who will discuss unorthodox propulsion solutions and ideas. It was referred to as the Woodstock of gravity-modification event, and after a break that took a long time, the conference was held in June 2023, which attracted a lot of interest. The program’s actors are engineering professionals from prestigious educational institutions such as Harvard University, employees of NASA, engineers whose primary source is working on their projects, and admirers of engineering from their garages—the sections of the event cover electromagnetic drives, theoretical physics at an advanced level, and UAPs. While more research is done in these areas, we may discover several advances that can make science fiction technologies a possibility. However, one must welcome them enthusiastically and critically, as the most awesome progress originates from less-expected directions and should be appropriately validated. #control #gravity #modification #magnetism #energy #propulsion #levitation #UAP #research https://lnkd.in/gB_XMbdh
