  • The lightest air is soaring to new horizons

    Lighter than Air has an ancient origin and various applications are well known, but with little development. Multiple reasons lead to propose, today, new commercial achievements; what are these new features and for which projects? For scientific balloons, CNES with its balloon systems and the CNRS, with its instruments, position France as a world leader, […]

  • The viability of small electric air vehicles

    By André Bord, former Chief Engineer A320, Airbus, former Technical Director ATR, member of the AAE The use of electric energy sources deemed "green" for the propulsion of air vehicles seems, for a long time, reserved for small vehicles meeting the needs of intra-urban transport, such as air taxis. The analysis of the state of […]

The […]

  • Mega Constellations

    Satellites illuminated by the sun are visible in the night sky – even with the naked eye for the brightest – and are a source of light pollution for astronomers. Their number could reach several tens of thousands in a few years. What are the consequences for large observatories, but also for small telescopes and […]

  • The space propulsion of the future

    By Alberto Rossi, Head of Propulsion, Pyrotechnics and Aerothermodynamics, CNES. Space propulsion systems have a big influence on our ability to travel to other planets or how a satellite can provide cheap telecommunications services. This conference aims to provide an up-to-date overview of all kinds of propulsion systems ranging from conventional (Chemical) technology, from nuclear […]
