Tailoring Model‐Based Systems Engineering for Sub‐100 g PlanarSats: A Power‐First View Stack
ABSTRACT This paper addresses how to apply model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) to ultrasmall planar satellites under severe power and resource constraints. PlanarSats are sub‐100‐gram spacecraft built as single printed‐circuit boards where the same surface must host both electronics and solar cells, so power generation, geometry, and component ...

New Challenges for European Space Industrial Policy
ABSTRACT The European space industry is globally competitive but faces challenges due to fragmented governance, reliance on commercial markets, and increased international competition. The European Union (EU) has become a major stakeholder in this sector, with a ‘fragmented institutional market’ shaped by policies, initiatives and programmes at ...

ABSTRACT On‐orbit rendezvous and docking constitute one of the most technically challenging activities in the history of space activities. As space endeavours mature to crewed missions, space rendezous and docking technologies (RDT) emerge as an area of technological innovation critical to advances in future crewed space exploration.

Numerical Calculation of Gas–Liquid Two-Phase Flow in Tesla Valve
In this paper, the gas–liquid two-phase flow within a Tesla valve under zero-gravity conditions is numerically studied. Based on the VOF model and the inlet two-phase separation method, the forward and reverse flow patterns and pressure drop changes in a

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.
