Abstracts for SE2107
Work in progress, waiting for the submission system to be set up. I will keep updating the abstracts, and add papers and illustrations as they are written.

Some 2-weeks-outdated work here.

Uses VASIMR electric rocket engines and some atmospheric argon propellant to add angular momentum at GEO.
The presentation will focus on linear motor design and simulation tools
