Reproducing Orbital Approach Trajectories using Wheeled Robotic Arms
A Method for Hardware-in-the-Loop Validation of Satellite Systems during Close-Proximity Operations
To test GNC systems for close-proximity operations in orbit, it is necessary to recreate the approach trajectories on the ground. This thesis explores how the flexibility of bases with omnidirectional wheels can be exploited to reproduce approach trajectories. It describes how a point-to-point control algorithm can be combined with the Clohessy-Wiltshire equations of relative orbital motion, to achieve accurate reproductions.

The demand for scaled down versions of innovative aircraft has been steadily increasing over the last few years. These so-called scaled flight demonstrators (SFDs in short) can be used to perform flight testing for a fraction of the price, and with considerably more flexibility, with respect to full-scale testing. They also provide more certainty in result quality than can be done solely using computer simulations. One project that could benefit from such an SFD is Elysian. With their E9X battery-electric aircraft, Elysian hopes to conquer the short-range passenger aircraft market and provide a more sustainable future for aviation.
Therefore, the goal of this project is to develop an SFD based on the Elysian E9X, incorporating modular components, to provide Elysian and other potential customers with a possibility to adjust the configuration, and perform a multitude of research activity. ...
