Reusable launcher flight mission
Metelka, Dominik ; Daněk, Vladimír (oponent) ; Zikmund, Pavel (vedoucí práce)
This thesis is split into two main parts which are also the main objectives. The aim of the first part is to describe a mission of a reusable launcher. Firstly, the topic of reusable launch systems and their development until today was approached. Most importantly, the operational reusable launch vehicles are described with the explanation of each booster’s flight mission. Furthermore, alongside some important launch vehicles in development, there is a separate chapter listing the first stage’s return options. The second part is practical with the aim of designing a mission of the launcher reusable first stage. For the calculations, the parameters were chosen according to a current Falcon 9 rocket, from which the final velocity and altitude at which the first stage separates, were analytically calculated. For the return and overall flight mission, a MATLAB script was written to calculate and plot all necessary parameters and characteristics. In the end, the altitude for the engine reignition was also determined to safely land on the ground.

Satellite refuelling mission proposal
Čuda, Adam ; Daněk, Vladimír (oponent) ; Krepl,, Ondřej (vedoucí práce)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of on-orbit satellite refueling. The thesis describes the concept of refueling on-orbit and provides the overview of the passed and planned missions and technology focused on the refueling and life-extension. The specifics of the refueling mission are identified as well as applicable constraints and needs resulting in the overall mission statement. A proposal for refueling mission is drafted further elaborating mission requirements and concept of operations. Payload critical to the mission is proposed. This work brings the description of on-orbit refueling process and provides a proposal of the mission to realize the task. Based on this work a spacecraft can be designed to provide satellites with fuel.
