(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Aviation operations negatively impact global climate, degrade surface air quality, and create noise. Towards mitigating these effects, this thesis considers electro-aerodynamic (EAD) propulsion, a form of in-atmosphere ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) exhibit a number of physical properties that have opened new doors for technological advancements in space-based micropropulsion, focused ion beam, energy storage, and other research ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Electromagnetic Formation Flight (EMFF) describes the concept of using electromagnets (coupled with reaction wheels) to provide all of the necessary forces and torques needed to maintain a satellite's relative position and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Astronauts experience sensorimotor changes during spaceflight, which may degrade their operational capabilities. A sensorimotor countermeasure that mitigates these effects would improve crewmember safety and decrease mission ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the environmental trade-offs inherent in multi-criteria objectives of an integrated environmental policy. A probabilistic multi-attribute impact pathway analysis (MAIPA) was ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis introduces novel mathematical algorithms that track changes in stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and total peripheral resistance (TPR) by analysis of the arterial blood pressure (ABP) signal. The algorithms ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Planetary exploration missions are becoming increasingly complex and expensive due to ever more ambitious scientific and technical goals. On the other hand, budgets in planetary science have suffered from dramatic cuts ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Long-duration spaceflight results in severe physiological deconditioning, threatening the success of interplanetary travel. Exercise combined with artificial gravity provided by centrifugation may be the comprehensive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Humans experience strong physiological deconditioning during space missions, primarily due to the weightlessness conditions. Some of these adverse consequences include bone loss, muscle atrophy, sensory-motor deconditioning, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)During the design process, risk is mentioned often, but, due to the lack of a quantitative parameter that engineers can understand and trade, infrequently impacts major design decisions. The definition of risk includes two ...
