Abstract:

The increase in space exploration missions in recent years gave way to the development of a volume-efficient and cost-effective nanosatellite like the cube satellite (CubeSat) which can be developed and fabricated in a relatively short time. With its size and design, CubeSat parts like casings can be produced and assembled through 3D printing to produce inexpensive satellites. Research in this area is undeniably important to maximize the rapid development of CubeSats. While progress has been made, challenges remain in applying 3D printing technology in the development of CubeSats. In this pape

Abstract:

For future large-scale CubeSat applications in orbit, the deployer must accommodate a greater number of CubeSats and facilitate cluster releases. This paper introduces an improved A* algorithm tailored for CubeSat in-orbit transfer path planning. Unlike the traditional A* algorithm, this enhanced version incorporates a path coordination strategy to manage congestion caused by the simultaneous transfer of many CubeSats, ensuring they reach their designated release positions smoothly and thus significantly boosting the efficiency of CubeSat transfers. Additionally, the algorithm develops a cost

Abstract:

Cubesat missions are evolving, and because of their high efficiency, they are becoming more common. Cubesats can go to space more easily because of their compact size. Launch vehicles provide great opportunity for us to reach space and high altitudes of the atmosphere. Today, cubesats are launched to high altitudes for experimental purposes with the help of launch vehicles. In this investigation, a novel launch vehicle was created to match the cubesat's specifications. A stable launch vehicle that can take a cubesat the size of 3U to the stratospheric layer has undergone its first design and e

Beam-steering antenna systems offer a promising solution to address these limitations, enabling adaptive communication links with improved gain and coverage.

Abstract:

During satellite development, engineers need to simulate and understand the satellite’s behavior in orbit and minimize failures or inadequate satellite operation. In this sense, one crucial assessment is the irradiance field, which impacts, for example, the power generation through the photovoltaic cells, as well as rules the satellite’s thermal conditions. This good practice is also valid for CubeSat projects. This paper presents a numerical tool to explore typical irradiation scenarios for CubeSat missions by combining state-of-the-art models. Such a tool can provide the input estimation for

Abstract:

Interplanetary CubeSat missions are currently becoming more popular, with a significant number of recently planned missions. The context of this paper is a Mars mission, starting from a parking orbit around Earth: the adoption of a chemical propulsion system for the Earth-Mars transfer phase is investigated, considering the recent technological developments for CubeSats. A trade-off of propulsion system type and propellant results in the choice of a mono-propellant system adopting the HAN-based propellant AF-M315E (ASCENT). The main challenge for the propulsion system is to fit inside a CubeSa

Abstract The satellite was designed to simulate an orbit around a planet, serving as a vital tool for space exploration. To reduce resource consumption and development time, nanosatellites, or CubeSats, were developed. Despite their advantages, CubeSats face significant space constraints, often limiting them to payload purposes. However, for certain missions, orbital or directional control becomes essential. To address this, CubeSats incorporate a propulsion system, with the nozzle serving as a critical component. The nozzle converts the high temperature and pressure generated by the propulsio

Abstract Nowadays, fuzzy inference systems are popular tools to implement control systems with relative development ease and speed. In particular, within CubeSat development, it is crucial to implement systems subject to severe design restrictions imposed by the CubeSat Standard, like size, weight and power consumption, among others. For attitude control in CubeSats, one option is to implement fuzzy inference systems of the Sugeno type. However, control algorithms based in fuzzy logic principles are, as many others, established in a sequential order, following specific steps, and not requiring

One of the main features of CubeSats is represented by their extreme versatility, e.g., maintaining the same overall structure for different purposes. This requires high technological flexibility achievable in a cost-effective way while maintaining compact sizes. In this contribution, a microwave receiver specifically designed for CubeSat applications is proposed. Due to the wide input operating bandwidth, i.e., 2 GHz–18 GHz, it can be exploited for different purposes, e.g., satellite communication, radars, and electronic warfare systems.

The proposed antenna is able to operate over a wide frequency band from 430~510 MHz. Moreover, pattern diversity is achieved by the antenna’s element placement, resulting in good MIMO diversity performance. The four elements are placed on one Unit (1U) for CubeSat dimensions of

Flash flooding affects a growing number of people and causes billions of dollars in losses each year with the impact often falling disproportionally on underdeveloped regions. To inform post-flood mitigation efforts, it is crucial to determine flash flooding extents, especially for extreme events. Unfortunately, flood hazard mapping has often been limited by a lack of observations with both high spatial and temporal resolution. The CubeSat constellation operated by Planet Labs can fill this key gap in Earth observations by providing 3 m near-daily multispectral imagery at the global scale. In

A wide variety of commercial cylindrical lithium-ion batteries are available for use in nanosatellites (CubeSats) that cycle in low Earth orbit (LEO).

To address this, we experimentally test three LIB cell types using a representative LEO CubeSat power profile in three progressively complex test representations of LEO.
