Professional biography

 

 

Research interests

I am involved in the development and characterisation of instrumentation for the in-situ determination of the chemical composition of the atmosphere, surface and subsurface of major and minor solar system bodies.  Key activities have included:

  • Development of the gas handling and processing system on the Ptolemy instrument (Rosetta Lander)
  • The development of miniature mass spectrometers for sub-surface deployment by either low-speed mole or high-speed penetrator devices
  • The development of Carbon Nano Tube devices for use as low power mass spectrometer ionisation sources

I have also been responsible for the development of novel, miniature high performance gas valves for use in space-craft pressure control systems.  Applications of this technology include the gas pressurisation systems for analytical instruments and space-craft propulsion. 

Im currently involved in the following:

  • CO-I on the Ptolemy instrument onboard the Rosetta lander
  • CO-I on the DAMS project
  • CO-I on Duster ESA ITT project
  • Research Scientist on the ESA: Lunar Volatile Resource Analysis Package (LVRAP) project

ProSPA Phase C/D
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Apr 202031 Aug 2025ESA (European Space Agency)

PROSPECT / ProSPA: The OU is leading the development of ProSPA, a miniature chemical laboratory for analysing samples for water and ice at the Moon. It is half of ESA's PROSPECT drilling and analysis package for the Roscosmos Luna-27 mission which aims to land near the south pole of the Moon in 2025. Through its 12-month mission on the Moon, PROSPECT will carry out a detailed survey of how water and other molecules are distributed on and under the Moon’s surface. It will help us understand where these materials came from, and whether they might be harvested as useful resources. The OU is partnered in UK by RAL Space, Airbus Defence and Space, and Dynamic Imaging Analytics; in Germany we work with Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and Technical University of Munich. PROSPECT is led by Leonardo S.p.A. (Italy) under a programme of and funded by ESA.

Exospheric Mass Spectrometer (EMS) Development
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Oct 201931 Mar 2025ESA (European Space Agency)

Exospheric Mass Spectrometer EMS / PITMS: PITMS will fly to the Moon in 2022 as a payload within NASA's Artemis program. We will study how a lunar water cycle might be driven by the hot daytime and cold night-time temperatures of the Moon’s surface. And how over millions of years this may contribute to vast stores of water and other molecules at permanently cold polar regions – molecules that could tell us the history of our own planet and might support human exploration of the solar system. The instrument is led by Dr Barbara Cohen at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The OU, partnered by RAL Space and funded by ESA, has developed the Exospheric Mass Spectrometer for PITMS and will support its scientific operations throughout the 2-week mission of the Astrobotic Peregrine lander at Lacus Mortis.

Understanding attenuation of UHF by regolith for penetrator missions
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Nov 201730 Apr 2018UKSA UK Space Agency

‘Penetrators’ are a new kind of spacecraft that land at high speed (think bullet from a gun!) into a planetary body such as the Moon, Mars or Europa, burying themselves a few meters into the ground in the process. Because they land at high speed, they don’t need much fuel to slow themselves down before hitting the surface – which means that the missions can be lightweight – which also means inexpensive. And here’s the clever bit: they contain a suite of sensors that operate during and after the landing, taking a host of scientific measurements such as the structure of the material into which they have landed, its temperature and chemical composition – even photos of the landing site. Many scientists – us included – think the best place to land the first penetrator mission would be near the south pole of the Moon. This has never been visited before, because it is very cold and there is very little sunlight to power the solar cells needed to keep a traditional Moon lander or rover alive. In fact, some places are so cold that we believe that valuable materials such as water ice may have collected there over billions of years in a gigantic deep freeze, holding clues about how the Moon formed and evolved. Not only is this of tremendous scientific value, it also changes the way we think about exploring the Moon and even our solar system. If we can find this water it opens up the possibility of using it to supply astronauts in future Moon bases with drinking water. And then we can split it into hydrogen and oxygen to fuel a new fleet of spacecraft that could take advantage of the Moon’s low gravity to launch new missions to Mars and beyond. This study is a vital step in designing a penetrator mission. We want to study how the radio signal that it transmits after landing, is affected by the soil it is buried beneath. If we find that the signal passes easily through the soil, we can design the penetrator to go deeper so it can achieve more science. If the signal doesn’t pass easily, then we will design a shallower penetrator. The ideal experiment would test a radio signal passing through real lunar soil. But to do this would require a lot of soil – much more than we could obtain of the precious samples brought back to Earth by NASA’s Apollo missions. And there’s another problem – all the samples on Earth are from near the Moon’s equator, meaning it is very different to what we would expect to find near the pole. So our first step will be to identify a suitable lunar soil ‘analogue’ – an Earth rock that has been crushed to mimic the essential properties of the Moon’s polar soil. Then we will mix it with varying proportions of water ice, and cool it to a range of sub-zero temperatures, to mimic the conditions at the lunar poles. And finally we can obtain a suite of measurements of the electrical properties of the soil, which we can feed into a computer model to predict how our penetrator antenna will perform when buried on the Moon. This research will be performed by The Open University partnered by QinetiQ Limited, and you can follow our progress at www.spacelabslive.com

The Valve : A Solution for Satellite Propulsion (HTP)

Lead01 Jul 201530 Jun 2016Innovate UK

Recent discussions with the Satellite Propulsion Group at SSTL Ltd have resulted in them rating the development, qualification and implemention of the OU's patented proportional valve as being their strategic R&D priority for 2015. Simon Sheridan is the lead inventor the patent (The Valve) along with Martin Jarvis and Geraint Morgan. Oli Lane from SSTL will lead a bid to Innovate UK that will use the OU as their academic project partners to translate the exisiting know-how to SSTL. A second commercial company (tank manufacturer) may also form part of the application (tbc). A commercial Licensing Deal between the OU and SSTL will be a pre-requisite for the work to go ahead. Meetings are scheduled with Malcolm Stokes and iain Gilmour to further this agenda. With SSTL being a subsidiary of Airbus - derivatives of the OU valves have the potential to be utlised as part of the propulsion systems on future small and large (including geostationary) satellites. SSTL would provide the route to market and would conduct the necessary space qualification. Budget available to the OU is likely to be 80% of £80k (tbc)
