CAWSES-II is an international program sponsored by SCOSTEP (Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics) established with an aim of
significantly enhancing our understanding of the space environment and its impacts on life and society. The main functions of CAWSES are to
help coordinate international activities in observations, modeling, and applications crucial to achieving this understanding, to involve scientists in
both developed and developing countries, and to provide educational opportunities for students of all levels. As part of Capacity Building effort, a
series of educational comic books have been produced under the supervision and guidance of Prof. Y. Kamide.

Space Design = Aircraft Design
Université de Liège
Durable structure, can withstand a certain margin of safety, "destruction" of nature.
1kg in GTO costs 6.000 € to 25.000 €
P ground radio station 50 kw for d< 100km
Interplanetary satellite P P<2W
d 1 billion km
Data compression on board
The European aircraft manufacturer invested more
than € 10 billion (spread until 2012) to develop a
competitor to the Super Jumbo Boeing, the 747.
Specific to Space:
• launch
• the space environment,
• lack of maintenance possible (extreme reliability) and
• the very strong limitation of budgets:
Mass, power, size, rate of data transfer.
Total cost of the project is 690 million euros

4 Cluster satellites investigating the Earth's magnetic
environment and its interaction with the solar wind in
three dimensions.
Launch is not easy
•Ariane 501 failure on 4 June 1996
•Orbit : Elliptical polar orbit, 19 000 to 119 000 km, 57 hour period.
•Advances our knowledge of space plasma physics, space weather and the Sun-Earth connection and has been key in
improving the modeling of the magnetosphere and understanding its various physical processes.
•Cluster satellites are the first to be able to make detailed, three-dimensional study of the changes and processes taking place
in near-Earth space. In the beginning of the mission the satellites are only a few hundred kilometers apart, so they will be
able to study small-scale features in the surrounding space. Later they may be separated as much as 20 000 km and thus get a
broader view of the events happening in larger scale.
The satellites' distance will vary between 19 000 and 119 000 km from Earth. As they move in and out of Earth's magnetic
shield they will be able to investigate the magnetic boundary areas of near-Earth space, and outside of Earth's magnetic shield
they will also be fully exposed to supersonic solar wind. They will be able to study the interaction between the Earth's
magnetic field and the solar wind, especially in such areas as the polar cusps, where the solar wind particles get through.
Another interesting phenomenon is the acceleration of plasma particles during magnetic substorms in the magnetotail.
•The four Cluster satellites were able to study the physical processes involved in these and other phenomena by visiting these
key regions. The four-point measurements will allow differential plasma quantities to be derived from the results for the first
time.
•The key regions the Cluster satellites explored are solar wind and bowshock, magnetopause, polar cusps, magnetotail
and auroral zone .

California) was a pioneering rocket designer
and creator of the Atlas ICBM.
His achievements rank alongside those of
Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolev but as
most of his work was for the United States Air

A Belgian general, grandfather of Astronautics
Université de Liège
Casimir Coquilhat Erasmus
In 1873, Major General Casimir Coquilhat Erasmus (18111890) published his last article (16 pages) in
Memoires de la Societe Royale des Sciences de
Liège.
Trajectories of rockets into space, this article contains
the mathematical formula for rocket propulsion, which
determines the performance of its function in a vacuum.
Long attributed to Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935), who
(re) discovered twenty-five years later and made known
in his writings on astronautics, this equation is actually
the work of a Belgian military!? ?
Casimir-Coquilhat Erasmus (1811-1890) was a great expert on guns in the
young army of Belgium, making this his career from 1830 to 1874. This
military personality was good at mathematics, and gifts as a writer on
technical issues. Influenced by both the courses he had received at the
University of Liege by the treaties of pyrotechnics and artillery manuals
used to train officers, he completed April 11, 1871 the drafting of the
document trajectories of rockets in a vacuum.
Without realizing it, the Belgian general Coquilhat throws, with his fine
mathematical demonstration, one of the foundations of what will be the
twentieth century, space travel. This was known as the Tsiolkovsky
equation should now be called the equation Coquilhat!?

Some simple and paradoxical considerations about the difficulty of realising launchers
leaving the Earth, which justify :
• the need to "develop ingenious plumbing techniques”,
• much political will and
• much money to make a vehicle which leaves Earth.

Classical bombshell speed :

The potential energy of a mass of one kilogram at the Earth's surface is: 6 107 J .
This energy must be given to a mass of one kg for the release of the Earth (ignoring the tedious details such as friction in the air, which
would further aggravate the conclusions). One might imagine that this energy is given to ground by the explosion of a chemical reagent
product chosen properly, such as a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen (One of the best choices).
The heat of combustion of the combination liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen that is transformed into a kilogram of water is < 2.107. J which
is considerably less than the energy needed to remove the water body from the Earth.
Naively, by comparing these two figures, one could understand the arguments of a professor of physics and chemistry that in 1926,
refuted the idea of Goddard want to go to the moon with chemical energy, the following words:
"This foolish idea of shooting at the Moon is an example of the absurd lengths by which vicious specialisation will carry scientists ... For a
projectile entirely to escape the gravitation of the Earth, it needs a velocity of 7 miles a second. The thermal energy of a gram at this speed is
15180 calories... The energy of our most violent explosive - nitro-glycerine - is less than 1500 calories per gram. Consequently, even had the
explosive nothing to carry, it has only one tenth of the energy to escape the Earth ... hence the proposition appears to be basically unsound.
Impossible
However, one could argue, on the other hand, with the same simplistic reasoning that space travel should be made trivial : the energy
resource is relatively cheap; for example, if one takes a kWh at 0.125 €, 1 kg launch into space should cost only 20 kWh, or 2.5 €! This is
trivial!
Trivial
The answer to these paradoxes should not depend on the skill with which we can carry out the plumbing of the launcher but must be
justified on simple physical arguments.
The first paradox is actually based on an assumption that is false and this was known long before that Professor of Physics did his remarks
to Goddard. Thus, Jules Verne, himself, knew the real solution to this paradox, with its launcher gun in his journey "from the Earth to the
Moon" .. The second paradox, it is not false, but it is not feasible in the near future.
The space flight in practice is between these two extremes: it is not impossible but it is difficult to achieve.

"From the Earth to the Moon
(1865 )": a huge cannon of 300
meters long which was to propel
to their distant goal, travelers
enclosed in a shell carefully
padded. (Tsiolkovsky put them in
a bath damping the acceleration).
But the human body is a fragile
structure (like the electronics), it
can support up to 10 g for a time
as short as of about 10 seconds
and 5 g maximum for a more
reasonable time . We must reach
a speed of about 8 km / s for a
low Earth orbit. If you want to
limit the acceleration to 5 g, the
barrel must have a length of 600
km!.
A shorter barrel (like in Verne’s The idea of using a gun is of course a preconceived idea, associated with
book) will kill its occupants and the explosive power; in fact, an explosive is just what should not be done:
the speed should not be too high when in the atmosphere due to higher
electronics systems.

September 1992) for defense systems to send or structural components of a

With the chemical
energy alone and with
current rockets at
current levels, we can
only reach the Moon,
Venus or Mars. The
other planets we are
not reachable.
In the 1960s, studies are realised of alternative propulsion systems with high speed of ejection to minimize the fuel
load on board. Findings in the years 1960-1970: the growth of the mass of the system with the power required makes
the system unusable in practice. These studies were restarted since 1995 with success.
In 1960, we conclude that we must use nuclear energy to go beyond Venus - Mars.
In 1962, one discovers the gravity-assist (Although in the thesis of Enrico Fermi) .----> Missions at JPL

Physical properties machines
The Test Centre has a series of machines to
accurately determine the physical properties of
spacecraft systems or subsystems. These
machines include:
Weighing scales:
The Test Centre can weigh items from a few grams
up to five tonnes with a very high accuracy thanks
to a set of state-of-the-art scales and calibrated
weight standards.
Centre of gravity and moment of inertia:
The combined machine SHENCK W50/M6
equipped with L-shaped adaptors allows engineers
to determine the centre of gravity and the moment
of inertia of spacecraft up to five tonnes and three
metres in diameter.
Dynamic balancing:
Depending on the mission, engineers may require
that the spacecraft be perfectly balanced when
spinning. The Test Centre is able to measure
products of inertia, to balance or to spin spacecraft
up to five tonnes, either in air or in vacuum, using
SHENCK E5 and E6 machines.

Large European Acoustic Facility (LEAF)

•
Acoustic noise tests form an integral part of the verification process
of space hardware. The qualification and acceptance of spacecraft
and their payloads by acoustic noise tests assure that no damage
will occur to these structures during the launch phase. When
considering the layout of an acoustic test facility, the main objective
is to simulate realistic spectral noise pressure levels, comparable to
those generated by the launcher engines and by the airflow passing
along the fairing during the atmospheric flight.
The Large European Acoustic Facility (LEAF) provides the required
environmental performance and offers a great variety of noise levels
and spectral shapes as well as test sequences and durations in
order to meet different user requirements.
The noise generation system consists of four different horns with low
cut-off frequencies of respectively 25, 35, 80, and 160 Hz
complemented by three high-frequency noise generators. A
maximum overall noise level of 156 decibels can be achieved;
provisions have been implemented to extend the level up to 158.5
decibels.
Furthermore, the acoustic chamber rests on springs to prevent
propagation of vibration to the structure of the building. With a mass
of 2000 tonnes, the chamber is very well suited for modal survey of
large structures.
The instrumentation of the acoustic facility includes a microphone
mounting system which allows an easy distribution of up to 32
microphones in appropriate locations around the test article. The
large number of suspension points distributed throughout the
chamber and standard moving trolleys offer considerable flexibility
for spacecraft suspension. The noise inside the acoustic chamber is
automatically controlled and adjusted in real time by an acoustic
control console using the average 1/3 octave spectrum of up to 32
microphones. This automatic control permits rapid adjustments to
the spectrum, achieving the desired result in less than 30 seconds
with a very tight tolerance (< ±0.5dB in the high-power bands).
The LEAF is totally remote-controlled.
Since the acoustic noise in the LEAF is generated by pressurised
gaseous nitrogen, the risk of test article contamination is excluded.

Why training of astronauts
in a pool?
An immersed astronaut is not in
weightlessness! He is supported by the liquid
medium which gives him a mobility more or
less comparable to that observed in space.
Problem of on ground testing of flexible optical structures (example Suspension
device for the XMM telescope)
The apparent absence of gravity (centrifugal effect canceling gravity) prevents any
natural convection. Only forced convection in a pressurized enclosure (space
cabin for example) can appear in space.
Lack of sedimentation, presence of dust in the field of view, difficult localization of
fluids in reservoirs, non controlable liquid / gaz interface, design of deployable
structures where the mechanical inertia becomes dimensioning and difficulty of on
ground testing .

Vacuum
Université de Liège
Convective Exchanges negligeable when the pressure is less than 10-4
torr.
In space, the pressure is less than 10-6 torr when the altitude is above 200
km and virtually all satellites have a higher perigee.
In orbit, the vacuum is such that all the convective exchange with the
environment are eliminated.
For an electronic device located inside a unpressurized satellite, the only
means of heat dissipation are radiation and conduction. (The fundamental
difference with the behavior on the ground)
Outgassing / Sublimation / Contamination: materials can outgas and later recondense on the cooler parts, modifying their thermo-optical properties of
absorption and emission.
Se, Cd, Zn are excluded for sublimation, the presence of polymers is to
minimize .... (Test μVCM to select materials)
Drying: Most organic matrices for glass or carbon
fibre composites realization are hygroscopiques. In h (km)
empty space, under vacuum, water is outgassing This
leads to dimensions reductions (A few tens of µm 50

L’hélium : (5,3.10-6 dans l’air)
•Très utilisé dans les domaines des mesures physiques à basse température, des supraconducteurs.
•Coût de plus en plus élevé (de 3.4€ à 10 €/litre selon quantité)
•Provient des puits de gaz de naturel (USA, Algérie, Qatar,Pologne, Australie…)
L'hydrogène : (5.10-7 dans l’air)
• très largement employé dans les années 60, moins utilisé actuellement. Le danger potentiel dans son utilisation. Les risques
d'inflammabilité de l'hydrogène dans l'air existent entre 4 et 75%. Ce mélange est détonant entre 19 et 57 %. Et l'énergie nécessaire
pour provoquer l'ignition est seulement de 0,02 mJ (10 fois inférieure à celle des autres hydrocarbures).
• l'hydrogène existe sous 3 variétés isotopiques ; hydrogène (H2), deutérium (HD et D2 :1 neutron en plus par noyau), tritium (2 neutrons
par noyau).
Le néon : (1,8 .10-5 dans l’air)
L'azote : (0,78 dans l’air)
• bon marché ( environ 0,1 €/litre)
• distribué industriellement par camion citerne calorifugé en tout point de stockage.
• bonne chaleur latente de vaporisation (210 kJ.kg-1) , utilisation facile et peu contraignante (son transfert peut s'effectuer avec un
minimum de calorifugeage, boite en polystyrène…) .
• éviter de porter des vêtements en laine qui, une fois imbibés d'azote liquide, entretiennent un flux de gaz très froid pouvant provoquer
des
brûlures. Leur préférer des vêtements en Nylon. Le risque de brûlure directe par projection de liquide sur la peau est peu probable
(phénomène de caléfaction).
• risque le plus dangereux = anoxie (diminution progressive de la teneur en 02 de l'air lors d'évaporation d'azote liquide. (teneur O2 < 17
% =début de risque majeur).
L’oxygène : (0,21 dans l’air)
• peu utilisé en cryogénie
• risques liés à sa forte réactivité
L’argon : (9,6.10-3 dans l’air) Utilisé dans les calorimètres de détecteur

UV (solar origin mostly)
Université de Liège
Destructive effects even if small part of the solar energy.
Surface degradation (particularly polymers) by breaking bonds in
large molecules
The materials are weakened (loss of plasticity) and thus
become more susceptiblle to other aggressive agents such
as atomic oxygen.
Some lose their volatility -> irreversible CONTAMINATION.
•Solarisation: color turns brown; increase in the solar absorptivity. (Example = UV sensitive solar
panel: the protective glass and its adhesive darkening which reduces the useful illumination of the
cell and by absorption increases the equilibrium temperature of the cell and eventually destroys the
cell). The effect is particularly noticeable on deposits of contaminants that become brown and
opaque. They also become hard and impossible to evaporate by heating.
•The troublesome area for optical components is also 115 nm to 300 nm (energy range 10.8 to ente 4.1
eV), right in the absorption bands of optical materials. This type of radiation created a free e- / hole
pair that is trapped: latent defects in the network thereby creating a color center which absorbs the
blue end of the visible and makes the glass brownish effect of "solarization". Remedy: cerium-doped
glasses
•Besides the coating and glass, there are glues (optical cements) which can also be degraded by UV
irradiation;
•The fluorescence observed around shuttle structure is due to the excitation of molecules of residual
gases by UV radiation. This is really embarrassing when this happens with black coatings designed to
reduce stray light.

•These rays are more dangerous to humans and precautions are taken in the programming of extra vehicular exits.
•
Energetic particules (LEO: 1 - 2 krad (Si)/year with 4 mm equivalent Al shroud; GEO: 15 - 20 krad

Ionization, displacement damage and rearrangement of electrons in optical materials (optics and
cements).
All these mechanisms lead to local structural defects and depending on the dose received:

transmission degradation (solarisation)

refractive index change

dielectric deterioration

internal residual stresses

Radio-luminescence and scintillation
•
HEAVY IONS
•These ions Iron, Carbon, Oxygen ... from solar flares and for a small part from cosmic radiation, because of their mass and
velocity, kinetic energy is large (> 1 GeV). Although the flow is very low, accidents due to these particles can be
catastrophic. These particles, very penetrating, ionize all materials; damages in semiconductors can range from a temporary
lapse to their total destruction. The highly integrated circuits are particularly sensitive to heavy ions. The thickness of metal
needed for effective shielding are several centimeters. These particles represent a serious hazard to astronauts, even inside
vehicles.

•INDUCED RADIOACTIVITY
This induced radioactivity is the result of the fission of atoms of the materials of the satellite by the impact
of high energy particles (protons and heavy ions). The radioactivity of the materials is low and poses no real
danger to men. (54Mn and 57Co from stainless steel; 22Na from aluminium; on the very low orbits of the
space station and shuttles, 7Be radioactive atoms are collected on the outside. This is one of minor
constituents of the atmosphere).

All the heat input to the solar system (excluding planetary radioactive
decay processes), and its mass is 99.9% of the total  the sun
dominates the space environment of the whole solar system.
• Ordinary star: Mass -2 x 1030 kg, modest by stellar standards, and is
one of ~1011 stars that form our galaxy.
• G2V star, with a yellowish appearance because its radiated light peaks
at ~ 460nm, and it is termed as a yellow-dwarfstar.
• Radius is 7 x 1O8 m.
• After the Sun, the nearest star is 3.5 light years away (1 light year =
9.46 x 1012km) and between the stars the gas density is low, with
hydrogen as the dominant species.
• The density amounts to onIy 3 atom/cm³, in comparison to the nominal
number density of our own atmosphere at sea level of 3 x 1019
molecules/cm³
• Fundamentally, a giant thermonuclear fusion reactor whose surface
temperature is ~ 5.800K. The photosphere is optically thick, and its
spectrum approximates to that of a black body.
