Tong, Mathew (author)According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, the notion of “space” can be read in several ways, of what is the five general understandings of it would be: outside earth’s atmosphere, empty area, period, freedom, and lastly, where things exist/move. With the speed, amount of information, and technology we are currently facing in the 21st...master thesis 2023

Marting, Louis (author)Terahertz astronomy has been exceptionally unexplored until the last decades due to a technological gap, but exactly at these wavelengths the most distant galaxies appear very bright. Efficient instruments that are capable of spectrometry are essential in understanding the physics of these distant objects. Within the framework of this thesis, an...master thesis 2022

Tanis, Tobias (author)Autonomous orbit determination could help reducing the growing load on ground-based deep space networks. For small satellites, orbit determination based solely on inter-satellite measurements could be a strong alternative for conventional ground-based navigation support. The possibilities of this autonomous orbit determination method are...master thesis 2022

van Tuijn, Jan (author)Manufacturers of CubeSats prefer the use of COTS electronic components such as microcontrollers (MCU) and SDRAM but these components are vulnerable to errors caused by radiation. A specific type of error caused by radiation are soft errors which can be corrected by Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) methods. Unfortunately, it is uncommon for...master thesis 2022

Hu, Fabbio (author)Further development of the Delft Deployable Space Telescope (DST) was needed to solve for defocus due to thermal expansion. This thesis focuses on implementation of stray light design methodology on the deployable baffle to provide a more stable temperature environment. This methodology utilises various baffle shapes and the arrangement of vanes...master thesis 2022

de Francisco Carballo, Jorge (author)Standardization is becoming more commonplace in space missions, aiming to increase reliability and drive down costs. Due to the relative similarities in operating environment between Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs), a highly-adaptable lander may be able to service a majority of SSSBs with minor adaptations. The model-based systems engineering ...master thesis 2022

Velev, Ivan (author)The goal of this thesis is to propose a design for an orbital space station that incubates the future space civilization and is the base for space regulations and governance. A place that is democratizing access to space and resources, and allows for any interested individual to join and contribute to the world at large and their personal...master thesis 2022

Sośnierz, Zofia (author)“The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between.” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart<br/><br/>With this short statement, the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart aptly captures the essence of the Interval spaces that this thesis was defining. Those are left-over or side-effect spaces, which have many programs but are not programmed. They...master thesis 2022

Broshuis, Lauren (author)We can all relate to the experience of wanting to shut of all the environmental stimuli around us, as our brain is overwhelmed and overstimulated by it all. Our surrounding environments can be improved if architects and designers learn more about how multi-sensory stimuli can enrich our perception of space, and when these triggers can take a...master thesis 2020

Wang, Ruoxi (author)Water shell is a Utopian vision based on the thinking of water in the Tashkent context. It is the reflection over the political and chronological aspect of water: The water distribution is largely decided by the political importance of places, and so intervened by city development. Besides, the water body is shrinking in Tashkent in a long-time...master thesis 2020

Meulmeester, Roeland (author)In this thesis, a proof of concept is developed that describes a complete data processing chain for registering new apartment rights in 3D. This chain starts by defining and adding legal space to Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) Building Information Model (BIM) models. Once the IFC BIMs are enriched with legal space, the 3D parcels are...master thesis 2019

Saleem, Muhammad Usman (author)Over the past many years, technology scaling has resulted in a continuous reduction of lateral and vertical dimensions of transistors. The technology scaling, on the one hand, has led to a commensurate performance gain for very-large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits, but on the other hand, has also made such circuits more vulnerable to ionizing...master thesis 2018

Gorbatenko, Aleksandra (author)With the rapidly advancing technology in the field of concentrator photovoltaics for terrestrial applications, the aerospace industry is eager to innovate and incorporate this idea. Concentrated solar light offers a cheaper but more complex solution to extract more power without increasing the number of solar cells. For extraterrestrial...master thesis 2018

van 't Klooster, Thomas (author)There is a trend in the miniaturisation of satellites. They not only become smaller, but lighter and more powerful as well. A large growth in the nano-satellite sector is present in the form of CubeSats. These milk carton size satellites use commercial of the shelf components in order to keep the costs low and to allow for technology...master thesis 2018

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

Arlauskas, Mindaugas (author)Neglected and abandoned places in the contemporary city are typically understood as negative, problematic issues followed by a tendency of straight-forward architectural solutions. Considering such places as a result of accumulating city processes and conceptualizing them as ”cuts’’ in the urban and architectural tissue opens up an unforeseen...master thesis 2017

Ögüt, Mert (author)Throughout the time humans have always looked up to starry skies and wondered about travelling to the stars. With the current developments in the aerospace field, travelling to neighboring planets have never been more possible. On the top of the agendas of numerous organizations today is the exploration of the Red Planet. However, there are many...master thesis 2017
