Thrust Model and Trajectory Design of an Interplanetary CubeSat with a Hybrid Propulsion System by Alessandro A. Quarta

“…This paper analyzes the performance of an interplanetary CubeSat equipped with a hybrid propulsion system (HPS), which combines two different types of thrusters in the same deep space vehicle, in a heliocentric transfer between two assigned (Keplerian) orbits. More precisely, the propulsion system of the CubeSat considered in this work consists of a combination of a (low-performance) photonic solar sail and a more conventional solar electric thruster. …”

Molecular Dynamics Characteristics and Model of Vehicle-Following Behavior by Yanfeng Jia, Dayi Qu, Xiaolong Ma, Lu Lin, Jiale Hong

“…The results of the comparative analysis show that the acceleration in the process of acceleration and deceleration is not constant but more sensitive to the deceleration of the preceding vehicle than to the acceleration and more sensitive to the acceleration/deceleration of the short-distance vehicle than to the acceleration/deceleration of the long-distance vehicle. …”

Effect of Gravel Size, Microwave Irradiation (1 to 2.5 min), Moisture, and Quenching on Aggregate Properties of Chert Gravel: Valorizing a “Waste” Byproduct of Sand Quarrying by Mark Tzibulsky, Vladimir Frid

“…Water quenching significantly intensifies fragmentation, generating irregular but highly fragmented aggregates, whereas pre-wetted samples exhibit finer and more uniform breakage than dry samples. The findings introduce a novel approach for optimizing chert gravel fragmentation, a material previously considered unsuitable for MW treatment. …”
