D3 - Control and Deorbit Spacecraft without Rockets

As evidenced by recent events, it is a well-known fact that space debris is a growing threat to operations in space. The proliferation of satellite swarms and constellations is exponentially adding to the danger of catastrophic mission failure or debris scattering. Additionally, spacecraft thrusters may increase that threat due to explosive volatility.

Design and Analysis of a Possible Concept of the Lunar Lander's Landing System

Almost twelve years after India’s 1st lunar exploration mission, India bounced back towards the moon with Chandrayaan-2. It was launched in an attempt to deploy a rover on the lunar surface. ISRO had attempted to give the craft a controlled and soft landing. But due to some technical faults, the lander was toppled and the mission failed.

Design of the E-VTOL (Designing of Vehicle That Works With Vertical Take Off and Landing, in Small Areas, Without Runway)

This conceptual design is one of the futuristic designs in my thoughts.

My design is for an E- VTOL ( ELECTRIC- VERTICAL TAKE OFF LANDING) Vehicle, which can operate in small areas, without using a runway. Takeoff and landing is done at the same place using turbopropellers, and maneuvering at low altitude, and maintaining safety.

In my thoughts,

Dynamic Spaceframe

Our design idea solves the problem of providing a means to construct a double layered, expandable dynamic spaceframe, which can transform from one freeform to another, whilst remaining rigid and load bearing throughout its transformation. It takes up little space when folded but can then be expanded to cover a large area or occupy a large space.

Electric Aircraft Propulsion System

Reliability and endurance are of paramount importance for propeller driven aircraft. Electric motors are more reliable than internal combustion engines, yet also have new failure modes. The EnergySense aircraft propulsion system was created to address these new failure modes and increase endurance, or range, simultaneously.
