The CEAS Space Journal has been created by the CEAS Space Branch to provide an appropriate platform for the excellent scientific publications submitted by scientists and engineers. Under the umbrella of CEAS, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency (ESA) support the Journal. The Journal is devoted to new developments and results in all areas of space-related science and technology, including important spin-off capabilities and applications as well as ground-based support systems and manufacturing advancements. Of interest are also (invited) in-depth reviews of the status of development in specific areas of relevance to space, and descriptions of the potential way forward. Typical disciplines of interest include mission design and space systems, satellite communications, aerothermodynamics (including physical fluid dynamics), environmental control and life support systems, materials, operations, space debris, optics, optoelectronics and photonics, guidance, navigation and control, mechanisms, propulsion, power, robotics, structures, testing and thermal issues. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original articles, (invited) reviews and short communications.

The STereo imaging Channel (STC) is a double wide-angle camera developed to be one of the channels of the SIMBIO-SYS instrument onboard of the ESA BepiColombo mission to Mercury. STC main goal is to map in 3D the whole Mercury surface. The geometric and radiometric responses of the STC Proto Flight model have been characterized on-ground during the calibration campaign. The derived responses will...

Remote sensing of methane fluxes has been highlighted as one of the measurement goals of the NASA 2017 Earth Science Decadal Survey. Measuring methane from space and airborne platforms with an active (laser) remote sensing instrument presents several technology and measurement challenges that need to be met in order to provide accurate and precise data. The instrument must be able to make continuous...

In this work, the design of a diode-pumped Alexandrite ring laser in Q-switched single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) operation for a spaceborne lidar mission is presented. The laser is pumped by a self-developed fiber-coupled laser diode pump device and yields a pulse energy of 1.7 mJ at a repetition rate of 500 Hz with an excellent beam quality of M2 < 1.1. By seeding the resonator with a narrow band...
