ACAP - Global Gravity Field Modelling From Orbit Data Based on the Acceleration Approach

The main purpose of the ACAP project was to compute a global gravity field based on precise orbit information using the so-called acceleration approach. This method is based on Newton's second law of gravitation, which states that the acceleration of a mass is related to the forces acting on it.

COSIMA V - Ion Emitters for COSIMA / ROSETTA V

ARC Seibersdorf research GmbH was selected to develop and produce ion emitters for the experiment COSIMA (CometarySecondary Ion Mass Analyser). Scope of this experiment is to analyse cometary matter e. g. to find out what molecules existed shortly after the "big bang". There may be molecules, composed of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, which might build blocks of amino acids, the basic molecules of life.
