MEAM Seminar: “Photophoretic Levitating Structures Enabling Mesospheric and Martian Exploration”
/
Towne 337
Studying certain regions of the atmosphere is hindered by available propulsion technologies. For example, the mesosphere, ranging from about 50 to 80 km in altitude, has air too thin for aerodynamic and buoyant flight but air too dense for satellites and orbital flight due to drag. The Martian atmosphere is another region where no flight […]
