Prediction of the aerodynamic performance of re-usable single stage to orbit vehicles [PDF]
Re-usable single stage to orbit launch vehicles promise to reduce the cost of access to space, but their success will be particularly reliant on accurate modelling of their aero-thermodynamic characteristics.

Towards robust aero-thermodynamic predictions for re-usable single-stage to orbit vehicles [PDF]
Re-usable single stage to orbit launch vehicles promise to reduce the cost of access to space, but their success will be particularly reliant on accurate and robust modelling of their aero-thermodynamic characteristics.

Oriented vehicles travelling in spherical space [PDF]
This paper tackles the path planning problem for oriented vehicles travelling in the non-Euclidean 3-Dimensional space; spherical space S3. For such problem, the orientation of the vehicle is naturally represented by orthonormal frame bundle; the ...

Robust multi-disciplinary design and optimisation of a reusable launch vehicle [PDF]
For various technical reasons, no fully reusable launch vehicle has ever been successfully constructed or operated. Nonetheless, a range of reusable hypersonic vehicles is currently being considered as a viable alternative to the expensive but more ...

The Sliding-Aperture Transform and Its Applicability to Deep-Level Transient Spectroscopy
A mathematical method is presented for the extraction of defect parameters from the multiexponential decays generated during deep-level transient spectroscopy experiments. Such transient phenomenon results from the ionization of charge trapped in defects

Metal Matrix Composite Solar Cell Metallization
Advanced solar cells are moving to ever thinner formats in order to save mass and in some cases improve performance. As cells are thinned, the possibility that they may fracture or cleave due to mechanical stresses is increased. Fractures of the cell can
