Turbopump propulsion systems have been used in almost all launch vehicles. With the advancement of manufacturing technologies, especially in the use of composite and lightweight structures, the use of non-turbopump propulsion systems has been considered due to the reduction of operating costs. This study has been investigated the multi-disciplinary optimization design of a two-stage launch vehicle using a pressure-fed propulsion system for both stages. Two main propulsion systems including gas-pressure and self-pressure feeding systems, have been evaluated in different configurations on two launcher stages. To extracting the optimum and possible solution, the launcher mission also has been added as a design variable in the optimization algorithm. The launcher has been extracted and introduced for each specific configuration of the launcher to achieve a certain orbital altitude with the maximum carrying payload and minimum gross mass. For this purpose, the AAO multidisciplinary optimization design framework has been used. The system-level and subsystem optimizer of the GA-SQP algorithm have been chosen.

A new approach to the design and development of launchers is the use of advanced technologies to reduce design and development costs as much as possible. In this paper, an approach to reduce costs and increase reliability is proposed, which is based on the use of a non-turbo pump propulsion system (pressure-fed propulsion system) instead of a turbo pump propulsion system. For this purpose, the multidisciplinary conceptual design optimization of a two-stage launch vehicle with a pressure-fed propulsion system with the aim of sending max payload with a least gross mass to the orbit (500 km) in terms of structure, aerodynamics, propulsion, pressure vessels, simulation, and pitch program disciplines. Then, the sensitivity analysis was performed on the optimum launcher to determine the efficiency of the launcher at different orbital heights and the ability to carry a suitable payload.

The CANSAT design, a simple and small scale of a satellite, is an experience for preparing for the design of a Life cycle of the space project. In this paper, the process of design and construction of ARTA CanSat, which is participated in the scientific-exploratory class of international competition in CANSAT Iran, has been written. The operation scenario is that an automatic scanner system, lands after releasing from 300 meters above ground level with using a recovery subsystem (parachute), which is controlled its downfall and landing position by the parachute controller system. During the descent, the data is transmitted by the sensors and sent to the ground station. After touchdown, the Hotwire system's operates and separates the parachute from the Rover section; Then CanSat with the moving on the ground by using the simpler section embedded underneath the structure, performing excavation while moving to the target point. Throughout the mission, the health of the biological payload is preserved.

In this paper, the performance of fluid momentum controller (FMC) actuators in satellite temperature management is investigated based on two pyramidal and 3-axis proposed configurations. In this regard, the temperature of different satellite surfaces with fluid actuators and without actuators in an orbital period of satellite is investigated and the results are compared to each other. For FMC actuators that are closed as a loop, a Moving Reference Frame (MRF) is used and the flow inside the actuators is laminar. The effect of fluid angular velocity of actuators on the temperature of satellite surfaces with two different angular velocity has been investigated and time-dependent heat flux is applied to the satellite surfaces. The results indicate that in the pyramidal configuration, the decrease in the temperature of the satellite wall surfaces is influenced by two parameters: fluid angular velocity and orbital period of satellite, but in the critical conditions, the 3-axis configuration can carry out this temperature management more quickly.

The main purpose of this paper is system designing liquid propellant orbital transfer block with a new approach for ideal orbital transfer and presenting a simple interfered systematic method for designing aerospace products. Designing orbital transfer block consists of designing all subsystems and integrating all parts of design. Designing all subsystems can be achieved with a meaningful connection between all system and subsystem constraints. In addition to systematic design approach to each of the design sub algorithms, creating subsystem optimization environment according to physical performance of subsystem and also general integration of orbital transfer block system design in an optimized environment have been carried out. Final result of orbital transfer block design for a specific mission is through mass-dimension convergence of equations in integrated design. Design integration according to design matrix and optimizations and convergences of the design is discussed in the paper. According to presented method, which is scientific, functional and extensible to final design of the product, parametric process of results is briefly validated. So in this paper new method is provided for integrating the design in an optimized and collaborative convergence environment maintaining all systemic constraints and limitations to specify specifications of orbital transfer block systems and subsystems.

New algorithm is presented in this paper for attitude determination of LEO nanosatellite with 2 accuracy in attitude determination independent of time. The most important limitation in nanosatellites is about subsystems’s masses so, reduction of subsystems’s masses is always considered. ADS plays the important role in the successful orbital maneuver missions. ADS accuracy is connected with increasing of sensors and complex processors which lead to increase the ADS mass. The presented algorithm uses one magnetometer sensor and one horizon sensor and position data receiving by GPS sensor as minimum required sensors. The selected configuration is resulted to minimum ADS mass and mission cost. Finally, error analysis at two most important orbit zones is done and the performance of the presented algorithm is confirmed.

In this research optimal trajectory of lunch vehicle based on maximizing payload is being attended. At first, motion of missile concluding modeling of environment, atmosphere, gravity, mass, motion equations and aerodynamic coefficients would be simulated. Then procedure of an optimized design by using optimal control theory would be described. Applying variational calculus and mathematical modeling of optimization problems would lead project to a two point boundary condition problem which would be solved by numerical solutions such as steepest descent. At last a code would be generated in which optimal trajectory of missile calculated by using indirect optimal control and steepest descent numerical solution. An interesting point in this article is that some variables are used both as state and control variables. Hence state control variables here are divided to two groups, slow state variables concluding ones which are only state variables, and fast state variables concluding ones which are both state variables and control variables simultaneously. Solution for such control problems is described here.
