Physically consistent boundary conditions for free-molecular satellite aerodynamics
Thesis (M.Sc.Eng.) === To determine satellite trajectories in low earth orbit, engineers need to adequately estimate aerodynamic forces. But to this day, such a task su↵ers from inexact values of drag forces acting on complicated shapes that form modern spacecraft. While some of the complications ar...
