Perdeck, Matthias (author)In interplanetary space missions, it is convenient to have a second departure opportunity in case the first is missed. Two distinct approaches to minimizing the maximum of the two Delta-V budgets of such a trajectory pair, are developed. The first (‘a priori’) approach optimizes the variables of both trajectories at once. The second (‘a...master thesis 2018

Boudestijn, E. (author)Develop the basis for a TU Delft Astrodynamics Toolbox (Tudat)-based software tool that comprises the fundamental functionalities required in order to optimize low-thrust Earth-centered orbit transfer trajectories for the preliminary mission design phase. Motivation: contribution to Tudat and facilitate case studies for the MicroThrust consortium.master thesis 2014

Koerselman, J.R. (author)A design methodology for composite space enclosures was generated. As a result a panel of an electronics housing structure, as part of a general satellite traversing both GEO and LEO, was designed and optimized. A mass saving of 18% was achieved over a conventional aluminum panel, while assuring structural integrity for acceleration loads,...master thesis 2012
