SUMMARY:eSpace Webinar - Space Propulsion Systems (SPS) Series Part 1: Principle of the Rocket Propulsion\, by Prof. Hiroyuki Koizumi
DESCRIPTION:  \nProf. Koizumi will introduce the fundamentals and applications of space propulsion systems. \nThis 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 will also include some basics of the spacecraft’s orbit transfer and station keeping. \nProf. Koizumi has been our guest at eSpace since July 2021. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Advanced Energy and Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Tokyo\, Japan\, where he directs the Space Propulsion Laboratory and leads the developments of micro-propulsion systems for microsatellites: Hodoyoshi-4\, PROCYON\, AQT-D\, and EQUULEUS.\nIn 2020\, he started working as CTO at the space-propulsion startup Pale Blue Inc.\, that was founded by him and engineers who got Ph.D. at his lab.\nPreviously\, Hiroyuki Koizumi served as an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science at JAXA from 2007 to 2011\, where he was involved in Hayabusa-1 project and he was responsible for the operation of the ion engines mu-10 and the retrieval of the Hayabusa capsule at Woomera in Australia.\nHe received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Keio University\, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the University of Tokyo.\nHe was awarded the International Electric Propulsion Conference Best Paper Award (2015) and Prizes for Science and Technology\, the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education\, Culture\, Sports\, Science and Technology (2017). \n3 other seminars will follow and will feature: \nChemical propulsion; introducing 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. \nElectric propulsion; categorizing 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. \nMicropropulsion; meaning the miniaturized propulsion system dedicated to small satellites (1 – 200 kg size). Its operating principle is the same as the propulsion as mentioned above\, but the miniaturization generates a lot of limitations and features.

SUMMARY:eSpace Webinar - Space Sustainability: from Space Environment Management to Life Cycle Assessment of Space Systems\, by Massimiliano Vasile
DESCRIPTION: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 use of space\, due to the growth of the space sector and the increase in the number of launches\, and the concurrent growing demand to use space. The talk will then expand on some of the key research activities\, in ACE\, on the management of the space environment\, from space traffic to re-entry\, and the assessment of the environmental impact of the space sector. \nMassimiliano Vasile\, is currently Professor of Space Systems Engineering and Director of the Aerospace Centre of Excellence at the University of Strathclyde. \nHe received his M.S. in 1996 and Ph.D. in 2001 from Politecnico di Milano.  He sits on the IAF Astrodynamics and Space Power committees\, the IEEE committee on Emerging Technologies in Computational Intelligence\, and the UN Space Mission Planning Advisory Group.  His research interests include Astrodynamics\, Space Systems\, Computational Intelligence and Optimisation Under Uncertainty exploring the limits of computer science at solving highly complex problems in science and engineering.  Asteroid 2002 PX33 “Maxvasile” was named in his honour in recognition of Prof Vasile’s contributions to the development of innovative techniques for the design and optimisation of space trajectories and his work on asteroid manipulation. \nProf. Vasile has developed novel numerical methods for single and multi-objective optimal control problems\, has pioneered the use of evolutionary computation for the global optimisation of space trajectories\, and the use of imprecise probability theories in the optimisation of space systems.  His research has been funded by the European Space Agency\, the UK Space Agency\, CNES\, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council\, the Planetary Society and the European Commission. \nHe coordinated the Stardust research network on asteroids and space debris\, one of the success stories of the EU FP7\, and the UTOPIAE network on uncertainty treatment and optimisation in aerospace engineering and he is now the coordinator of Stardust Reloaded\, that is exploring advanced solutions for space sustainability\, space environment management and asteroid exploration.
