Hexaflex Honeycomb Heat Shield Panel

We propose an alternative heatshield design for SpaceX’s Starship. It solves the problem of how to efficiently make a heatshield core material made of steel alloy that can be formed into double asymmetric curvatures without distortion and which has an interstitial space to hold either fuel or water in between the sandwich layers.

High-Speed Communication in Space

Communication in space is becoming increasingly critical, be it between satellites, from satellites to ground or even to/from the Moon or Mars. Current approaches use radio waves that spread quickly resulting in very small capacity: The data rate from the Mars orbiter is a few kbit/s, which is lower than the first-generation home modems decades ago. Therefore,

How a Toothpaste-like Gel Revived Bullet Proof Vests: a Win-win Solution

Aramid fibers are very effective for ballistic protection systems, particularly bullet proof vests. When aramid fibers are compared to steel, on an equal-weight basis, its strength is five times higher than steel. Due to natural degradation and security issues, these bullet proof vests must be replaced by new ones every five years.

How to Keep Drones Flying When a Motor Fails, without GPS

Safety is critical for autonomous drones. However, today's commercial quadrotor drones are still not resilient to severe motor failures. Especially in GPS-denied environments, a quadrotor with loss of one motor will fast yaw spin, causing significant position drift, which will crash the drone and may harm people on the ground. For this reason,

Learning Extreme Flight

During the last decade, the commercial drone industry has grown exponentially. Even though the hardware has improved significantly during that time, drones are still limited by their battery life of 10-20 minutes. Such limited flight time restricts their use in many applications, such as search and rescue, delivery, and inspection.

Life on Other Planets

PROBLEM:

Few planets and satellites in our solar system can have the right conditions for life to develop (Mars, Europa and Enceladus). The space missions to explore these worlds are very expensive and we've to develop cheaper technological alternatives with satisfactory results.

SOLUTION:

To find possible traces of life in our solar system, we're going to develop sensors,
