  • Infrared thermography as a non-invasive scanner for concealed weapon detection 
    Khor, WeeLiam; Chen, Yichen Kelly; Roberts, Michael; Ciampa, Francesco (Cranfield University, 2024-02-08)
    Non-invasive scanning techniques are vital for threat detection in areas of heavy human traffic to ensure civilian safety. Longer waves in the electromagnetic spectrum, such as millimetre waves and terahertz, have been ...
  • An optimal steering law for sailing with solar and planetary radiation pressure 
    Barles, Anaïs; Ceriotti, Matteo; Ciampa, Francesco; Felicetti, Leonard (Elsevier, 2021-08-25)
    An optimal steering law for sails that exploit both solar and infrared planetary radiation pressure is presented in this paper. The optimal steering law maximises the orbit raise over one revolution of the sail around the ...
  • Sailing with solar and planetary radiation pressure 
    De Iuliis, Alessia; Ciampa, Francesco; Felicetti, Leonard; Ceriotti, Matteo (Elsevier, 2019-12-05)
    Literature on solar sailing has thus far mostly considered solar radiation pressure (SRP) as the only contribution to sail force. However, considering a sail in a planetary mission scenario, a new contribution can be added. ...
  • Sailing with solar and planetary radiation pressure 
    De Iuliis, Alessia; Ciampa, Francesco; Felicetti, Leonard; Ceriotti, Matteo (Unknown, 2019-08-31)
    Literature on solar sailing has thus far mostly considered solar radiation pressure (SRP) as the only contribution to sail force. However, considering a planetary sail, a new contribution can be added. Since the planet ...
