We designed a modular system using a combination of shape analysis, color segmentation
and motion information for locating reliably heads and faces of different sizes and …

The paper presents the design, manufacturing and postproduction analysis of a novel high-temperature
spacecraft resistojet heat exchanger manufactured through selective laser …

The following testing was carried out in support of the Surrey Space Centre SSC Alternative
Geometry Hybrid Rocket research and development program. Although VFP testing was …

This paper describes the background to the experiment and the reasons for it being undertaken.
It also describes the development testing performed at SSTL and in ESTEC’s vacuum …

The advance in complexity and sophistication of small satellite missions is increasingly
requiring that these spacecraft have on-board propulsion systems. However, there is a different …

Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd specialises in the design, manufacture and operation of small
spacecraft, principally in the range of less than 200 kg launch mass. Traditionally if such …

Small scale satellites 100 kg and below, are becoming the de facto standard within throughout
the space industry. This growth is facilitated but the miniaturization of components and …

In this paper we discuss a simple method to improve the lighting conditions of a scene or video
sequence. We focus on modifying the intensities of existing light sources and on inserting …

Operation of electrothermal thrusters at extreme temperatures and power densities requires
a detailed understanding of numerous highly-coupled physical processes. A high-…

A next generation high performance xenon resistojet delivering specific impulse above 90s
would be of significant benefit to both small and newer all-electric spacecraft. Such …
