Projekte (in englischer Sprache)

REBECCA - Real-time Blending EPS-METEOSAT by Canonical Correlation Analysis

The goal of this project is to develop a standardized procedure of merging potential synergistic combination of satellite data of the geostationary orbit and those of the low earth orbit which at first sight appear rather incompatible in terms of content, spatial and temporal availability.

Resonance - Electric Field Sensors

The analysis of the electric field sensors on board the satellites of the Russian mission Resonance, which will be launched in the next decade, is the focus of this project. The aim of this mission is the investigation of wave-particle interactions and plasma dynamics in the inner magnetosphere of Earth, with the focus on phenomena occurring along the same magnetic field line and within the very same flux tube of the Earth's magnetic field. Amongst a variety of instruments and probes, several low- and high frequency electric and magnetic sensors will be on-board.

RF-Suitcase - Generic RF-Suitcase Core

So called Radio Frequency Suitcases (RF-suitcases) are required for every spacecraft, in order to assure compatibility of the spacecraft and every groundstation delivering support to the mission. An RF-suitcase contains a simplified, yet representative configuration of the satellite flight hardware in order to make these tests representative.

RONCALLI - Real time traffic information

The RONCALLI principle is based on linking centrally available information with current vehicle data. Key components from RONCALLI are GPS-positioning (later Galileo) and traffic relevant information from a central server which communicates with amobile device (PDA) over a GPRS connection. The permanent availability of positioning signals from satellites and efficient mobile radio connections form the central theme of the project.

RPOD - Real-Time Precise Orbit Determination

The present activity supports RSA’s on-going GNSS receiver product development and aims at establishing real-time navigation algorithms, which enable the RSA receiver to reach a navigation performance in the range of one meter.

RT-PPP - Development of a Real-time PPP Processing Facility

The overall goal of the RT-PPP project, was to develop PPP techniques suitable for various real-time or near real-time applications. The main focus was placed on the production of real-time clock, orbit and atmospheric corrections as well as their transmission via Ntrip to a user client.

SALOTTE - Solar Array Drive Mechanism (SADM) – Long Term Testing Chamber

"SALOTTE" is the design name for a test equipment to test components used for solar array drive mechanisms. The ASAP-project aims at the development of such a facility.

SANOWA - Satellite Basend Emergency Call System for Lumberjacks

The objective of the project SANOWA (Satellite based emergency call system for lumberjacks) is the development of a demonstrator that will increase the safety of lumberjacks and facilitate rescue operations in case of an accident. Satellite navigation, autonomous sensors, wireless communication, and geoinformation systems are integrated in the demonstrator.

SAR-X Environ - Environmental Mapping Applications Using TerraSAR-X

The goals of this project were the improvement of existing X-band scattering models and the development of environmental mapping applications for TerraSAR X data in Austria and in potential export markets.

SATSKI - Sensor-based GPS as a tool to analyse the performance of professional ski racers

The objective is an analysis tool that provides the Austrian Ski Federation with the possibility to increase the performance of its racers, but also to study the physical robustness of the human body, and take counteractive measures if necessary.

SERMER - Sensors for the Remote Monitoring of Experimental Reactors

The R&D activities within SERMER deal with the hardware of the viscosity sensor prototype, the readout, and the interpretation of the sensor signals with respect to the ongoing processes within the experiment to be monitored.

SGIS - Spaceborne GNSS-Receiver Interference Suppression

The SGIS project started with the analysis of future on-board and terrestrial interference scenarios, the analysis and identification of interference suppression techniques suitable for implementation with space technology, and the isolation of candidate solutions.

SIECAMS BOX - Carrier Monitoring System for Small Operators

The aim of the project is the integration of general-purpose PCI sample cards in SIECAMS for supporting standard spectrum monitoring and demodulation measurement tasks on a highly competitive level in terms of performance and price as well as a reduction of the required equipment space. Furthermore, it is the aim to provide a generic interface to import digitized data of different resolution and sampling rates in order to support standard digitization equipment from different manufacturers. The current SIECAMS Client Server architecture will be enhanced by an additional Web-Server hosting the web-application.

SKISPRUNG - Precise Trajectory and Velocity Determination in Ski Jumping

The most important indicators for the flight performance of a ski jumper are the flight trajectory itself and the corresponding velocity. Due to the fact that an accurate position and velocity information along the flight trajectory is available for coaches and athletes shortly after the jump, new and important analysis methods of the jump performance are made possible. Therefore, the main objective of the project SKISPRUNG is the precise determination of these two indicators - the position and the velocity along the flight trajectory at each epoch.

SMART-1 EPDP - Co-Investigator on Electric Propulsion Diagnostic Package (EPDP) for European SMART-1 Satellite

SMDE - Spaceborne Motor Drive Electronics

The objective of this study was to assess the requirements of past and near future space missions and to conduct a technology and topology survey. The results of this survey allowed selecting concepts for power electronics building blocks, with the help of which spaceborne motors, that drive different kinds of mechanisms, can be controlled.

SOFC SINGLE CELL - Single Cell Test Stand for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

The aim of this project was to investigate Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) fuelled with carbon monoxide in order to generate performance data which can subsequently be used for design studies of such power systems.

SoftGNSS 2 - A Dual Frequency Software-based GNSS Receiver

The main goal of this software-based receiver development is to implement the signal processing as far as possible in software, and thus the required hardware can be reduced to a minimum. This decreases the costs for future mass market products and increases the flexibility of the system.

SoftGNSStrusted - Signal Authentication Utilizing a Dual-frequency Software-based GNSS Receiver for Trusted Positioning

The main goal of the SoftGNSStrusted project was to investigate new algorithms for signal authentication. The investigations were based on a previously developed software-based GNSS receiver (ASAP 6 project: SoftGNSS 2).

SOLDYN - Dynamics of Solar Flares and Coronal Mass Ejections

In the project SOLDYN we use the unprecedented observational capabilities of the recent NASA Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) missions to investigate the physical processes in solar flares and Coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
