This endeavor necessitates the development of new technologies to sustain human life on Mars. This paper outlines the design and development of a toroidal mobile home on Mars, capable of housing four people. The focus is on creating a living space equipped with essential life support systems, including air purification, oxygen production, water recycling, waste management, and temperature control. The innovation lies in using inflatable systems for the main structure, which allows for lightweight construction, rapid deployment, and large habitats, facilitating efficient and safe long-duration missions. The mobile platform, equipped with wheels, enables exploration and research near the landing site. The design process employs CAD models to create detailed representations, and analysis to ensure the inflatable structure can withstand Mars’ harsh environment, including its energy demands and terrain hazards. The chosen inflatable materials are crucial for Mars, offering a high strength-to-weight ratio for structural integrity, puncture resistance, and radiation shielding. This study demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of mobile habitats for Mars exploration. The use of CAD models and artificial materials for research and result testing indicates that the inflatable habitat design for Mars is feasible and practical, hence establishing plans for habitation on Mars. Future efforts will focus on integrating life support systems into the inflatable structure and developing physical prototypes to validate the design under simulated Martian conditions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100054,"journal":{"name":"Aerotecnica Missili & Spazio","volume":"105 5","pages":"789 - 802"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148458738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The applied-field magnetoplasmadynamic technology is selected given its performances in terms of thrust, specific impulse, and relatively high readiness level. To assess the extent of this system, a low-power correction to the voltage model is derived according to a multivariable linear regression, allowing the use of genetic algorithms to optimize both geometric and operational system’s variables in terms of thrust and specific impulse. The proposed low-power voltage correction reduced the mean relative error from 46% to 2% against experimental datasets, ensuring higher reliability in the optimization process.

The proposed approach integrates the concepts of Focus of Expansion (FOE) and Time-to-Contact (TTC) through a novel event-based optical flow estimation using direction selective filters. A new FOE method, termed Adaptive Spatial Clustering for FOE Estimation (ASC-FE), combines spatial clustering with adaptive filtering to precisely pinpoint the FOE, even in intricate environments. By clustering regions with similar flow characteristics and then weighting each potential FOE by cluster properties, ASC-FE offers a more accurate and noise-resistant FOE determination. In this proposed approach, the FOE provides insights into the UAV’s direction of travel, thereby indicating the potential points of collision on its trajectory, and the TTC provides information about the relative velocity of points in the image with respect to the UAV, thus allowing the prediction of the time when an obstacle will be encountered if the current trajectory is maintained. Furthermore, in conjunction with a 3D Artificial Potential Field (APF) for obstacle avoidance, the proposed approach generates smooth, collision-free paths, addressing local minima issues through a rotational force component to ensure efficient UAV navigation. The effectiveness of this novel event-based obstacle detection and avoidance method is substantiated through simulations, demonstrating its potential for enhancing UAV navigation safety and efficiency in warehouse environments.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100054,"journal":{"name":"Aerotecnica Missili & Spazio","volume":"105 5","pages":"759 - 770"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148458687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasing frequency and intensity of these hazards, driven by climate change and rapid urbanization, require advanced and timely response mechanisms. Geospatial technologies, particularly Earth Observation (EO), have become essential in this context, providing multi-scale, near-real-time information to support disaster management. This review synthesizes the current state of EO-based flood and drought management, with a specific focus on the operational integration of EO data and procedures across key response substages. It assesses the capabilities of core EO sensor families, including optical, thermal infrared, active and passive microwave, and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), in monitoring critical hydrological and environmental variables. A central contribution of this study is the development of the Operational EO Integration Framework (OEI-F), which systematically aligns EO data types, integration approaches, spatial scales, and response substages within an operational context. The review further examines advances in multi-source data fusion, EO-derived indicators, and service-oriented platforms, while identifying persistent challenges related to data interoperability, institutional uptake, and compound hazard monitoring. The findings underscore the pivotal role of EO in strengthening climate adaptation, multi-hazard resilience, and evidence-based decision-making, and conclude with strategic recommendations to enhance its operational effectiveness across technological, organizational, and policy dimensions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100054,"journal":{"name":"Aerotecnica Missili & Spazio","volume":"105 5","pages":"707 - 728"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42496-026-00309-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148458739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

UAVs can achieve improved aerodynamic performance by mimicking the wing profile of the albatross wing. However, the challenge lies in ensuring that the wing and its supporting structures are as lightweight as possible while maintaining the structural integrity required to withstand the stresses of flight. This study applies cloud-based generative design for topology optimization to an albatross-inspired wing rib and spar structure—extending prior work that has predominantly focused on generic airfoil geometries. Generative design leverages the computational power of cloud-based platforms to automatically generate and evaluate numerous design iterations. In each iteration, the algorithm redistributes material from low-stress regions to high-stress regions, evolving the geometry to meet predefined constraints such as strength, stiffness, and manufacturing feasibility. Through this iterative approach the design converges toward an optimized structure that minimizes weight while maintaining structural integrity. As a result, the optimized rib achieved a 3.20 times mass reduction, decreasing from 247 to 77 g, with a maximum von Mises stress of 4.44 MPa, confirming structural adequacy for the designed load. Through the integration of the generative design method in the design process, the study aims to develop a wing structure that not only mimics the aerodynamic efficiency of the albatross but also meets the stringent weight and strength requirements of the UAVs. The results of this research have the potential to contribute significantly to the field of UAV design, leading to more efficient, lightweight, and robust aerial vehicles.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100054,"journal":{"name":"Aerotecnica Missili & Spazio","volume":"105 5","pages":"693 - 705"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148458740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
