1. Atmospheric Species and Spectral Radiation in Terrestrial Exoplanets : Implications for Astrobiology
Sammanfattning : The physical properties of the planets and their parent stars are fundamental in the composition of atmospheres and radiative environments, which fundamentally determine their surface temperature and habitability. The atmospheric composition and radiation play a vital role in the emergence of life. LÄS MER
2. Development of robotic instruments and techniques for space and astrobiological exploration and research
Sammanfattning : Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe. The search for life beyond the Earth requires an understanding of the signatures of life, and of the nature of the environments that support it. Space exploration is a crucial factor to achieve these goals. LÄS MER
3. Scientific Instruments to Facilitate the Human Exploration of Mars
Sammanfattning : This PhD thesis describes, from an engineering perspective, some of the preliminary steps that need to be implemented to facilitate the human exploration of Mars. It focuses on the development of a set of novel scientific or technology demonstrator instruments. LÄS MER
4. Development of the Wind and Air Temperature Sensor of the ExoMars 2022 HABIT Instrument
Sammanfattning : This work presents the development, validation and calibration of the air temperature sensors (ATS) and the air and wind retrieval method of the HABIT (HabitAbility: Brines, Irradiation and Temperature) instrument. HABIT is one of the two European payloads of the ESA/Roscosmos ExoMars 2022 mission that will land at Oxia Planum (18.20° N, 335. LÄS MER
5. A planetary chamber to investigate the thermal and water cycle on Mars
Sammanfattning : The water processes that affect the upper layers of the surface of Mars are not yet fully understood. Describing the processes that may induce changes in the water content ofthe surface is critical to determine the present-day habitability of the Martian surface,understand the atmospheric water cycle, and estimate the efficiency of future water extraction procedures from the regolith for In-Situ-Resource-Utilization (ISRU).
