Testing Spacecraft Booms in ZeroG

The ZeroG Flight Experience

In the final year of my undergraduate studies, I had the wonderful opportunity to go on the “Vomet Comet,” or zero-g flight. A zero gravity flight, also known as a zero-g flight or a weightless flight, is an experience in which an aircraft creates a state of weightlessness for a short period of time. This is usually achieved by following a parabolic flight path, during which the aircraft first climbs steeply and then dips down rapidly, creating a temporary period of weightlessness as it reaches the top of the arc. Zero-g flights are used for a variety of purposes, including scientific research, astronaut training, and the development of new technologies. They can also be offered as a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience for members of the general public, for the meager price of $7,000. During a zero-g flight, passengers may float and experience weightlessness, similar to what an astronaut would experience in space.

Separation of Spacecraft Noise from Geomagnetic Field Data through Density-Based Cluster Analysis and Compressive Sensing

Published in JGR: Space Physics, 2022

Spacecraft electronics generate magnetic noise that interferes with magnetic field measurements. We present an algorithm based on UBSS and signal compression to remove spacecraft noise.
