DESCRIPTION:Hannes Bartle\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA cornerstone of space sustainabili
 ty is the ability to efficiently service\, repair and refuel spacecrafts i
 n orbit. From low earth orbit to geostationary orbits\, the need for such 
 In-Orbit Servicing (IOS) missions is clearly identified and several compan
 ies are trying to race each other to be the first to market. Additionally\
 , as the problem of space debris is more and more recognized as such by pr
 ivate and government stakeholders\, Active Debris Removal (ADR) missions w
 ill be important to reduce the risk of the Kessler syndrome to set in.\nOn
 e of the many challenges these types of missions entail is the design of r
 eliable and secure RF systems covering communications\, radar and RF sensi
 ng. The unique set of requirements posed by a highly agile\, robotic space
 craft poses several challenges for RF systems in terms of performance\, re
 liability and cost. This talk will give an overview of typical requirement
 s\, trade-offs and regulatory hurdles that one will encounter when designi
 ng RF systems for robotic spacecrafts. Furthermore\, an overview of emergi
 ng technologies and current research will be provided.\n\nHannes Bartle is
  an Industrial PhD student in the Microwaves and Antennas Group (MAG) at E
 PFL\, while being employed by ClearSpace SA. His research focuses on the f
 ield of mutual coupling between antennas and installed antenna performance
  on electrically large structures. He is the technical point of contact re
 garding RF and antenna related topics at ClearSpace and is responsible for
  the development\, design and procurement of RF hardware and antennas\, mo
 st notably the ClearSpace-1 communication systems. He received a B.Eng in 
 Aerospace Engineering from the Corporate State University Friedrichshafen\
 , Germany\, and an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Aarhus University\
 , Denmark.\n\n\n\n\n\n
