Matroshka Austria - Cosmic radiation exposure during extravehicular activities onboard ISS

The ESA Matroshka experiment was launched to theInternational Space Station (ISS) with a Russian Progressfreighter on January 29, 2004. The cooperation of 15 laboratoriesaround the world makes it the most extensive research effortin radiation dosimetry ever performed in space. The facility is aimed to simulate an astronaut’s body during an extra vehicular activity.

Metallic Melts 2 - Electrical Resistivity Measurement of High Temperature Metallic Melts - 2

This project has directly continued the research done in the frame of its preceding project "Electrical Resistivity Measurement of High Temperature Metallic Melts". Unlike its predecessor, it focuses on the measurements of alloys. The pulse heating setup at TU Graz serves as a benchmark for the results obtained from the levitation setup of DLR. The latter is designed to be carried out in microgravity environment. At this stage, parabolic flights with prototypes prepare for a future mission aboard the ISS.

MicroColumbus - Effects of the Space Environment and Microgravity on Cells of Halophilic Archaebacteria

Following the successful installation of the Columbus laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS) in February 2008, the ESA facility EXPOSE-E was used to compare the adaptation and survival strategies of microorganisms from different terrestrial habitats. Several extremophilic microorganisms were tested, including the halophilic archaeon Halococcus dombrowskii, which was isolated from a 250-million-year-old Alpine salt deposit in Austria. Samples were returned after 18 months of exposure tothe space environment.

MoVeTech - Model-Based Processing Technique for the Manufacturing of High-Quality Structural FRP Components for the Aerospace Industry

It is within the MoVeTech project that the concept of model-based processing technology was first implemented in the ARTM (Advanced Resin Transfer Moulding) process. This concept is based on the idea of combining phenomenologically based know-how about relevant mechanisms (heat conduction and transfer on moulds and composites, flow processes during mould filling or curing kinetics of reactive resins) in the form of mathematical models, and making them available at the level of process management - while adhering to real-time requirements.

Model Predictive Control of Thermally Active Building Systems and Monitoring of two Test-Boxes

A robust, predictive controller which utilises weather forecast data to control thermally active building systems had been designed, researched and assessed in terms of energy efficiency and comfort compared to standard controllers, especially for cooling purposes. Simulations and real measurements using two "Test-Boxes" with thermally active building systems which are constructed and built for this purpose were used to analyse energy efficiency and comfort. Low complexity and transparency of methods and solutions should allow for transferability of all results to guarantee maximum usability for similar applications.

Monitoring Sunhouse Eferding

In course of the monitoring project the effectiveness of the energy-technical system was checked on the basis of running measuring data. The data were evaluated and, if required, the arrangements and settings of the control system were adapted. Main result is that the energy balance could have been improved explicitly whilst the monitoring process.
