Morfometria di forme carsiche in un possibile "landing site" marziano

Starting from some satellite photos, we try to understand if someone of the many negatives roundish shapes recognized into a complex of two impacts craters could verify the karst phenomenon on Mars. This fact if confirmed could be extremely important to find microbiological life living underground in an area of contact between water and sulfates, shielded from cosmic radiation. In order to verify if these negatives shapes have a karst origin or an impact one, we made several morphometric measurements with particular attention to the length of the axes and to the depth of these depressions. We also studied some other forms (such jagged ridges) as another possible witness of the karst.

Un nuovo algoritmo di Landing Detection per aeromobili quadri-rotore

In questa tesi si è realizzato un nuovo algoritmo di "Landing Detection",il quale utilizza i dati rilevati dall’accelerometro e dal giroscopio, situati all’interno dell’IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), e i segnali PWM inviati ad i motori, rappresentati dai livelli dei canali di radiocomunicazione (RC).
