DextrES: Wearable Haptic Feedback for Grasping in VR via a Thin Form-Factor Electrostatic Brake

Herbert Shea, Ronan Julien Hinchet

We introduce DextrES, a flexible and wearable haptic glove which integrates both kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback in a thin and light form factor (weight is less than 8g). Our approach is based on an electrostatic clutch generating up to 20 N of holding ...

Brief Announcement: Persistent Multi-Word Compare-and-Swap

Matej Pavlovic

This brief announcement presents a fundamental concurrent primitive for persistent memory - a persistent atomic multi-word compare-and-swap (PMCAS). We present a novel algorithm carefully crafted to ensure that atomic updates to a multitude of words modifi ...

Guidance, Navigation and Control for Autonomous Cooperative Docking of CubeSats

Volker Gass, Camille Sébastien Pirat

Is it possible to dock CubeSats in Low Earth Orbit? The challenges are mainly associated with the level of miniaturisation. A docking mechanism was designed, built and tested in the laboratory. Results show that a relative precision better than 1 cm and 2 ...

Periodic cellular aluminum structures for space applications : from casting to additive manufacturing

Florian Thibaut Gallien

Mass is one of the crucial parameters for hardware that has to be placed in Earth orbit. Due to its harsh environment, a material with highest specific properties is desired to achieve space missions. The rise and development of new technologies, such as a ...

CubeSat quantum communications mission

Edoardo Charbon

Quantum communication is a prime space technology application and offers near-term possibilities for long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD) and experimental tests of quantum entanglement. However, there exists considerable developmental risks and sub ...

3D Laser Shock Peening – A new method for the 3D control of residual stresses in Selective Laser Melting

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Jamasp Jhabvala, Eric Boillat, Nikola Kalentics

This paper describes a hybrid additive manufacturing process – 3D Laser Shock Peening (3D LSP), based on the integration of Laser Shock Peening (LSP) with selective laser melting (SLM). The well-known tensile residual stresses (TRS) in the as – built (AB) ...

Orbital Filter Aiding of a High Sensitivity GPS Receiver for Lunar Missions

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano, Paul David Blunt

Recent studies have shown that weak Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals could potentially be used to navigate from the Earth to the Moon. This would increase autonomy, robustness and flexibility of the navigation architectures for future luna ...

High accuracy GNSS based navigation in GEO

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano, Paul David Blunt, Endrit Shehaj

Although significant improvements in efficiency and performance of communication satellites have been achieved in the past decades, it is expected that the demand for new platforms in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and for the On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) on the ex ...

Mission Design and GNC for In-Orbit Demonstration of Active Debris Removal Technologies with CubeSats

Volker Gass, Federico Belloni, Muriel Richard, Camille Sébastien Pirat, Christophe Dominique Paccolat, Reto Wiesendanger

Within the frame of the ESA's General Support Technology Programme, two In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) missions using CubeSat technologies were studied. These IODs aim at alleviating the technical risk inherent to new technologies required for Active Debris ...
