Abstract:
We introduce an approach for the direct measurement of the gravitational potential (GP) along the trajectory of a satellite, with a specific focus on Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. A LEO satellite communicates with several Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) satellites via frequency signal links. The GP difference can be measured in real-time using the gravitational frequency shift approach by equipping both LEO and GEO satellites with precise atomic clocks. Since the GP at the high orbits of the GEO satellites can be precisely determined by the present gravitational field model EGM2008, the GP along the LEO satellite’s trajectory can be determined. In this study, simulation experiments were conducted, featuring a GRACE-type satellite as the LEO satellite in communication with three equidistant GEO satellites. The results indicated that the accuracy of the GP measurements along the LEO satellite’s trajectory primarily depends on the precision of the onboard atomic clocks. Supposing optical atomic clocks attain an instability level of 1×10−17τ−1/2 (τ in seconds), we determined the GP distribution covered by the LEO satellite’s trajectories with 30-day observations. Then, we determined a gravitational field at the centimeter level based on the GP distribution. The GP data derived from the trajectory of a LEO satellite can be utilized to establish temporal gravitational fields, which have broad applications in different disciplines.

Abstract:
Abstract Accurate satellite orbit calculation has always been a focus in the aerospace field. Especially, the error distribution of the orbit involving various internal and external factors in the satellite launch process has an important influence on the effectiveness of the satellite cluster. To qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the cooperative efficiency of multi-satellite clusters involving various random errors, this paper analyzes the random error sources in the launch process of micro-nano satellites and studies the distribution law of these satellite orbit position errors. Based on the parameter estimation and the central limit theorem of probability theory, the expression of the error function for the satellite’s orbit position is also constructed. In addition, the probability distribution model of the satellites in a certain range is designed, and the relationship between the number of satellites and the overall errors is proposed. Finally, the result is verified by the simulation experiment, which provides the rationale behind the position and altitude adjustment and constellation optimization of micro-nano satellites.

Abstract:
This work focuses on the Satellite Propulsion Subsystem (UPS), a critical aspect of satellite technology that can be supported by various propulsion types: electrical, chemical, cold gas, and nuclear propulsion. For communication satellites, chemical propulsion emerges as the most suitable option due to its simplicity and lower energy requirements. The chemical propulsion subsystem comprises oxidizer and fuel tanks, gas pressuring tanks utilizing helium. Wherein, Thrusters are employed for diverse tasks, encompassing tank sinking, orbital maneuvers (correction), attitude control, and deorbiting. These processes induce propellant consumption from orbit transfer to the deorbiting operation. The satellite's mission life hinges on propellant quantity, emphasizing the need to maintain sufficient reserves for deorbiting at satellite’s end of life. Thus, accurately estimating propellant mass becomes a crucial task. This work delves into propellant mass estimation methods, specifically Bookkeeping (BKP). Moreover, we introduce and test a developed tool based on the Bookkeeping method. This tool proves instrumental in estimating the remaining propellant, offering a valuable resource for satellite mission planning and longevity.

Abstract:
Satellites of communication are located at altitude of thousands kilometers above the earth's surface, so the signal is transmitted by satellite to earth station is very susceptible to interference. Every March and September equinox or when the sun crosses the Earth's equator for several days, earth station occurs a naturally interference called by sun outage. At this time, satellite and the sun reach the closest distance because satellite's position is same direction with the sun. This interference makes the signal received by earth station weaken and even disappears due to temperature noise which increases drastically. Loss of signal on the downlink side caused by noise greatly affects to the performance of satellite communication system. This study aims to analyze the effect of sun outage and satellite orbit to determine sun outage period on the performance of Telkom 3S satellite communication system. The results obtained that indicate the signal quality is represented by degradation in the Carrier to Noise Ratio (C/N) from 14,777 dB to 6,0 dB, Energy bits per Noise Ratio (Eb/No) from 11,515 dB to 2,738 dB, and increase the Bit Error Rate (BER) from 8,29×10-7 to 11,08×10-3. In addition, sun outage makes lost of satellite communication traffic and affecting link availability to 99,855324%. Meanwhile, the result from satellite orbit calculation for sun outage period based on ITU-R S.1525 standard and based by satellite’s handbook.&#x0D; &#x0D; Keywords – Telkom 3S satellite, sun outage, C/N, Eb/No, BER, link availability, sun outage period.

Abstract:
Mobile edge computing (MEC)-enabled satellite–terrestrial networks (STNs) can provide task computing services for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, since some applications’ tasks require huge amounts of computing resources, sometimes the computing resources of a local satellite’s MEC server are insufficient, but the computing resources of neighboring satellites’ MEC servers are redundant. Therefore, we investigated inter-satellite cooperation in MEC-enabled STNs. First, we designed a system model of the MEC-enabled STN architecture, where the local satellite and the neighboring satellites assist IoT devices in computing tasks through inter-satellite cooperation. The local satellite migrates some tasks to the neighboring satellites to utilize their idle resources. Next, the task completion delay minimization problem for all IoT devices is formulated and decomposed. Then, we propose an inter-satellite cooperative joint offloading decision and resource allocation optimization scheme, which consists of a task offloading decision algorithm based on the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm and a computing resource allocation algorithm based on the Lagrange multiplier method. The optimal solution is obtained by continuous iterations. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves relatively better performance than other baseline schemes.

Abstract:
The development of the Bangabandhu Satellite-1 has changed the direction of Bangladesh's satellite communication research. Bangladesh's dream project was the Bangabandhu Satellite 1. This satellite's primary goal is to maintain effective internet and communication services in remote places. First of all, we must concentrate to the depth of satellite communication system and its process to reach any conclusion. Our main goal of the research is to recognize a feasibility review on Bangabandhu satellite-2. So, for the feasibility studies we reviewed the most promising technical parts of Bangabandhu satellite-1. Here, we only focused the certain parts of the satellite such as coding, modulation, battery, purpose of ground station and the benefits of the satellite communication system. Then we moved on the main parts of the Bangabandhu satellite-2. As, Bangabandhu satellite-1 was Geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) communication satellite and Bangabandhu satellite-2 will be Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observation satellite (LEO) so, some of configurations between them might be changed. Furthermore, we largely focused on Facts, efficiency, performance and noticeable difference between two satellites.

Abstract:
An inter-satellite link is a key technology that improves control accuracy, transmission efficiency, and autonomous capability of constellations. A satellite’s pointing and tracking abilities mainly determine the inter-satellite link’s performance, which should be validated through an in-orbit test. However, during the construction of the constellation, the distribution of satellites does not satisfy the constraints of establishing the inter-satellite link. A test method for inter-satellite link pointing and tracking is developed with respect to a single satellite. A practical mission scenario for testing inter-satellite links’ performance is constructed. A virtual satellite is introduced as the target satellite to establish an inter-satellite link with the local satellite. The orbit of the virtual target satellite between two ground stations is characterized based on the Newton–Raphson method. By comparing the predicted and actual time differences between two ground stations receiving the signals from the local satellite, the inter-satellite link pointing and tracking abilities are evaluated independently. Numerical simulations verify the design of the virtual satellite. The single satellite test method for inter-satellite link pointing and tracking abilities is available.

Abstract In the design of satellite systems, it is essential to control the satellite’s position for various reasons, either to have correct communication with a ground station or to make connections with other satellites. In the same way, the positioning of a satellite poses a significant challenge since its behavior is non-linear; due to these issues, several test benches have been developed for the satellite’s position problem. In this review, there will be a journey from the rise of the space age to the latest advances in technology for emulating the satellite’s dynamics.

Abstract:
In our world, communication satellites are becoming more and more significant. They are costly to create, launch, operate, and maintain, thus these costs are crucial. Due to the fact that electronic and satellite components can only operate within a limited temperature range, it is crucial to understand and manage the satellite's temperature in order to maximize efficiency both before and during the mission. This study considers GEO and comparable satellites with the goal of showing satellite temperature. We ignored the entire satellite's internal structure and focused only on the external heat generated by its surface (main body and solar panels). COMSOL is used in this project that is a simulation platform. Finally, the results have been displayed for the model at different times.

Abstract:
In the world of educational satellites, student teams manually conduct operations daily, sending commands and collecting downlinked data. Educational satellites typically travel in a Low Earth Orbit allowing line of sight communication for approximately thirty minutes each day. This is manageable for student teams as the required manpower is minimal. The international Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations (GENSO), however, promises satellite contact upwards of sixteen hours per day by connecting earth stations all over the world through the Internet. This dramatic increase in satellite communication time is unreasonable for student teams to conduct manual operations and alternatives must be explored. This thesis first introduces a framework for developing different Artificial Intelligences to conduct autonomous satellite operations for CubeSat satellites. Three different implementations are then compared using Cal Poly's CP6 CubeSat and the University of Tokyo's XI-IV CubeSat to determine which method is most effective.

Abstract:
The technique of Satellite Laser Ranging is today a mature, important tool with applications in many area of geodynamics, geodesy and satellite dynamics. A global network of some 40 stations regularly obtains range observations with sub-cm precision to more than twelve orbiting spacecraft. At such levels of precision it is important to minimise potential sources of range bias in the observations, and part of the thesis is a study of subtle effects caused by the extended nature of the arrays of retro-reflectors on the satellites. We develop models that give a precise correction of the range measurements to the centres of mass of the geodetic satellites Lageos and Etalon, appropriate to a variety of different ranging systems, and use the Etalon values, which were not determined during pre-launch tests, in an extended orbital analysis. We have fitted continuous 2.5 year orbits to range observations of the Etalons from the global network of stations, and analysed the results by mapping the range residuals from these orbits into equivalent corrections to orbital elements over short time intervals. From these residuals we have detected and studied large un-modelled along-track accelerations associated with periods during which the satellites are undergoing eclipse by the Earth's shadow. We also find that the eccentricity residuals are significantly different for the two satellites, with Etalon-2 undergoing a year-long eccentricity anomaly similar in character to that experienced at intervals by Lageos-1. The nodal residuals show that the satellites define a very stable reference frame for Earth rotation determination, with very little drift-off during the 2.5 year period. We show that an analysis of more than about eight years of tracking data would be required to derive a significant value for 2. The reference frame defined by the station coordinates derived from the analyses shows very good agreement with that of ITRF93.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California<br>An increasing number of satellite users and manufacturers are looking to lightweight, inexpensive satellites as substitutes to traditional large, expensive satellites with multiple payloads. Neither the Department of Defense nor the commercial sector can bear the financial or reputational consequences associated with massive program failures. With the low cost and weight of these new satellites, users can achieve mission success without great risk. One example of this new class of inexpensive spacecraft is the RADCAL (RADar CALibration) satellite. Detachment 2, Space & Missile Systems Center at Sunnyvale, CA operates the satellite. RADCAL is a 200-pound polar orbiting satellite with an average altitude of 450 miles. It is primarily used by 77 worldwide radars to calibrate their systems to within five meter accuracy. Also flying on board RADCAL is a communication payload for remote field users with small radios. The RADCAL program has satisfied all mission requirements. However, with the limited size and cost come certain challenges, both in the satellite and on the ground. Pre-launch testing was not as comprehensive as with more expensive programs; anomalies have arisen that require extensive workarounds. Data management is not a straightforward task, and it is sometimes difficult and inexact to track satellite performance. These challenges are presented with their solutions in the following discussion; this paper addresses the functional, operational, and testing aspects associated with the RADCAL satellite.

Abstract:
The GPS data from Challenging Mini-satellite Payload (CHAMP) is used for its orbit determination for the epoch day of January 1st 2002.  The orbit of CHAMP is computed from the GPS data and ionospheric effects are removed by frequency combination. Further, the orbits of CHAMP for the same epoch day are computed using the satellite tool kit (STK) employing simplified general perturbations (SGP4) and a high precision orbit propagator (HPOP). Results from both techniques (GPS computed orbit and STK computed orbit) are compared. Furthermore, orbits computed using GPS data are also compared with jet propulsion laboratory’s published CHAMP spacecraft orbit and we have found that root mean square difference in ECEF position X component is below 0.01km other than some spikes at poles. The standard deviation of the difference in ECEF position X coordinate is 11.7m. The accuracy of our computed satellite positions (using GPS data) is about 12 metres for other than polar areas. However there are some occasional spikes, especially at poles, having maximum errors (about 0.055 km).

Abstract:
Les éphémérides issues d'intégrations numériques qui peuvent être facilement téléchargées des sites de l'IMCCE ou du JPL, ont une très bonne précision pour les observations récentes. En même temps, un autre type d'éphémérides, celles analytiques comme TASS, décrivent en détail le système dynamique par une représentation en combinaison de fréquences propres. Notre but est d'associer ces deux types d'éphémérides pour l'utiliser dans les études de la rotation des satellites naturelles. Cela signifie qu'il faut reconstruire des éphémérides à long terme et de haute précision montrant les caractéristiques du système comme les fréquences propres à partir des intégrations numériques. La principale difficulté est d'éviter l'intervalle de temps limité des éphémérides numériques. Dans notre travail, nous partons de la représentation des éléments d'orbite de Titan sur 10 000 ans issues de TASS comme exemple et comme standard. Nous expérimentons comment obtenir les fréquences propres sur 1000 ans d'éphémérides de TASS, et comment obtenir la représentation analytique de la longitude moyenne de Titan sur cet intervalle limité. A cause de cette durée de 1000 ans, au lieu de l'analyse en fréquence, nous utilisons la méthode des moindres carrées, en particulier pour les termes à longue période. L'efficacité et l’exactitude de l'ensemble de la méthode sont vérifiées en comparant les représentations de la longitude moyenne de Titan issue de TASS par la méthode des moindres carrées et par la représentation standard de TASS sur 10 000 ans. Finalement et c'est ce qui importe, nous obtenons une représentation du mouvement de Titan pour les 1000 ans d'éphémérides du JPL. Il existe une différence de 60 km dans l'amplitude du terme principal entre les représentations du JPL et de TASS. Cette différence est considérée comme issue du système. L'intervalle de temps limité des éphémérides influence les fréquences propres et induit des erreurs dans les termes à longues périodes comme contenant la longitude du nœud de Titan. Pour toutes les autres composantes ou presque, leurs amplitudes et phases sont similaires à celles de TASS. L'erreur de représentation est inférieure à 100 km sur 1000 ans et la déviation standard est de 26 km environ<br>The numerical integration ephemeris, which are convenient to download from online service of IMCCE, or Horizons of JPL have very good precision based on recent observations. Meanwhile, another kind, the analytical ephemeris like TASS, describes in detail the dynamical system by combination representation of proper frequencies. We plan to make a connection between those two different type ephemeris, that it ’s benefited us to study the rotation of natural satellites with its high precision ephemeris, those instantaneous positions, velocity, and those system characteristics like proper frequencies. The main difficulty is to avoid the shortcoming of the limited interval of observation ephemeris.In our work, we take the combination representation of Titan with 10,000 years TASS ephemeris as an example and standard. Then, we experiment to obtain both the analytical representation of the mean longitude of Titan and the proper frequencies involved in it with 1,000 years TASS ephemeris by analysis frequency. Due to limited timespan, we extend the method with a least square method, especially for the long period terms. We verify the effectiveness and exactness of the whole method in rebuilt the combination representation.Finally and most important, we get the combination representation of Titan with 1000 years JPL ephemeris. Between the solution of JPL and the representation of TASS, there exists a 60 km difference in the amplitude of the major component, that is considered as a system difference. The limited interval ephemeris makes the influence of the proper frequency, which brings the error into the long period term like the one from the node of Titan. For nearly all other components, those amplitudes and phases are similar with the relative terms of TASS. The error of our representation is less than 100 kilometres over 1,000 years and the standard deviation is about 26 kilometres

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A low earth orbit satellite system can be useful in numerous communication applications where physical connections are not possible. Communication time available from any point on earth to the satellite is less than one hour per day. This one hour is fragmented into smaller time slots due to the satellite orbiting. This is not much time to transfer data and there is even less time available to transfer data when there are other external factors affecting the system. It is thus crucial to optimise the satellite communications link so that more data can be transferred per orbit. The goal of this thesis is to improve the performance of a low earth orbit satellite communication channel by varying certain parameters of the system, such as the protocol used, modulation scheme, packet size, transmission power etc. and then to observe how these parameters influence the system. The protocols that were chosen to be implemented are CSMA-CA, CSMA-CA with DSSS technology and Round-Robin Polling. A simulator for each protocol was designed with the Opnet platform, so that specific parameters could be changed and the results observed, in order to optimise the communications link between the satellite and ground stations. The results showed that there is no particular configuration of modulation scheme, packet size, transmission power etc. presenting the best overall solution for LEO satellite communications. It must be considered what the specific LEO satellite application would be used for and the characteristics required by that specific application. A suitable configuration must subsequently be chosen from the set of configurations available to satisfy most of the application requirements.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: ’n Satelliet met ’n lae wentelbaan kan gebruik word in verskeie kommunikasie toepassings waar fisiese verbindinge nie noodwendig moontlik is nie. Die kommunikasietyd van enige punt van aarde af na die satelliet, is minder as een uur per dag. Hierdie tyd word nog verder verklein omdat die satelliet besig is om, om die aarde te wentel. ’n Uur is glad nie baie tyd om data oor te dra nie en in realiteit is daar nog minder tyd beskikbaar as daar eksterne faktore op die sisteem inwerk. Dus is dit baie belangrik om die satelliet kommunikasiekanaal te optimiseer sodat soveel moontlik data as moontlik oorgedra kan word per omwenteling. Die doel van hierdie tesis is om die deurset van die kommunikasiekanaal van n lae wentelbaan satelliet te optimiseer, deur verskeie parameters te verander soos, protokol wat gebruik word, modulasie skema, pakkie grootte, transmissiekrag ens. en dan waar te neem hoe dit die sisteem beïnvloed. Die protokolle wat geïmplementeer is, is CSMA-CA, CSMA-CA met DSSS tegnologie en Round-Robin Polling. ’n Simulator vir elke protokol was ontwerp in die Opnet simulasie platform, sodat die spesifieke parameters verander kon word om die resultate te bestudeer met die doel om die kommunikasiekanaal tussen die satelliet en grond stasies optimaal te benut. Die resultate het bewys dat daar geen spesifieke konfigurasie van modulasie skema, pakkie grootte, transmissiekrag ens. is wat die algehele beste oplossing is nie. Die spesifieke applikasie waarvoor die lae wentelbaan satelliet gaan gebruik word moet geanaliseer word sowel as die spesifieke karakteristieke van daai applikasie. Daarvolgens moet n unieke konfigurasie opgestel word wat meeste van die applikasie se behoeftes bevredig.

Abstract:
Abstract The success of a satellite mission depends on a lot of factors. The satellite thermal control system (TCS) is one of the most important subsystems that ensures that the satellite’s components remain within an acceptable temperature range. Thermal control for satellites includes monitoring the energy that flows into and out of the spacecraft. This monitoring helps to prevent overheating or freezing of critical components. To execute satellite thermal modeling, the mathematical model must be solved while accounting for both the heat rejected out of the internal electrical components of the satellite subsystems and the effect of the different forms of external fluxes. This paper focuses on changing the design of a 3U CubeSat by adding a deployment mechanism. And using passive and active thermal control components guarantees that the satellite stays within the temperature range that allows for satellite operation. At an altitude of 421 km, the spacecraft is in the Low Earth Orbit. SINDA FLUINT and Thermal Desktop Software were used to analyze the satellite thermal data to make sure that the temperatures of the satellite’s electrical equipment are kept within ranges that are suitable for regular operation. The process was validated, and the results were checked by performing hand calculations and computer simulation to improve our thermal analysis’s reliability. The results of the modified design have achieved a better temperature range and better solar panel exposure area to the sun. It is imperative to underline that this work is integral to building a 3U Cube Satellite as a graduation project.

Abstract:
The paper discusses the position of the orbit of PRN11 GPS satellite. Visual analysis of the current GPS constellation showed considerable deviation of PRN11 GPS satellite orbital parameters relative to other orbital plane D satellites. Short comparison of available GPS almanac format was included. Two almanacs per year since the launch of the PRN11 satellites in 1999 were obtained. Parameters of right ascension of ascending node and rate of right ascension of ascending node were taken into investigation. The results confirmed the fact of constant and progressive separation of the orbit from home orbital plane D since the very beginning of the satellite mission. The simulation of long-term persistence of the current trend in the postion of the PRN11 ascending node was presented.

Abstract:
In this paper, we address the optimal ground antenna scheduling problem for multiple satellites when multiple satellites have visibility conflicts at a ground station. Visibility conflict occurs when multiple satellites have either overlapping visibilities at a ground station or difference with time of loss of signal (LOS) of a satellite and time of acquisition of signal (AOS) of another satellite is less than reconfiguration time of ground station. Each satellite has a priority value that is a weight function with various factors. Multi-antenna scheduling (MAS) algorithm 1 and Multi-antenna scheduling (MAS) algorithm 2 are proposed to find the optimal schedule of multi-antenna at a ground station using pre-assigned priority values of satellites. We use the depth first search (DFS) method to search the optimal schedule in MAS algorithm 1 and MAS algorithm 2. Through the simulations, we confirm the efficiency of these algorithms by comparing with greedy algorithm.

Abstract:
To limit the risk of cascading collisions, we will need active debris removal missions to retrieve satellites that die before they can be deorbited. It is well understood that sudden fatal failures can cause a dead satellite to tumble uncontrollably, but it also happens that even properly decommissioned satellites are not immune to spontaneous self-tumbling due to momentum buildup from solar radiation pressure torque, making removal much more challenging. The availability of a detumbling/antitumbling device ensuring passive stabilization of dead satellites could greatly reduce the risk and cost of debris removal missions. We present a totally passive magnetic damping device attached to a satellite's structure, where a rotor fitted with magnets is free to rotate inside a metallic housing. Even if the satellite is tumbling, the rotor stays aligned with the geomagnetic field: the differential angular rate between the rotor and the satellite will create eddy currents in the housing and thus dissipate rotational energy, eventually stopping the tumbling motion. Detailed sizing and simulation activities have demonstrated that one such small (h &lt; Phi &lt; 5cm diameter) and lightweight (m &lt; 100 grams) device was capable of detumbling a medium-to-large satellite (5000 kg.m² of inertia) with a detumbling time constant of a few weeks. We present the current development status, including the results of vibration tests with two representative prototypes built around two competing technologies for the rotor bearing. These steps pave the way for the final development stages of a universally available detumbling function that can be a game-changer for reducing the future burden of taking care of defunct LEO satellites.

Full text
Abstract:
Small satellites can be constructed at a fraction of the cost of a full-size satellite. One full-size satellite can be replaced with a multitude of small satellites, which offers a benefit in covering more area at the same time, achievable through formations. However, the shortcoming to the smaller size is usually a lack of thrusting capabilities. Furthermore, current designs for small satellite deployment mechanisms are only capable of low deployment velocities (on the order of meters per second). Prior research in using a pneumatic launcher shows that it is possible to achieve higher deployment velocities (75–125 m/s). This is beneficial in that it opens the possibility for limited but useful orbit placement and small satellite formations. Achieving a formation is done by reformulating the classical orbital mechanics equations to find the required deployment velocity vectors that yield the desired formation.

Abstract:
&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;With the present state of the art technology, size and mass of the satellites have come down. This necessitated the need for a low shock separation system that does not have mass attached to the separated satellite. Development of Nano satellites with mass of the order of 1 to 24 kg has become popular among scientific/ academic institutions for carrying out scientific experiments. INLS 3U Uni-Pod System (Nano satellite dispenser system) is a satellite dispensing system designed by ISRO for accommodating four 3U class Nano satellites in a single structure where each satellite is deployed independently by separate actuation commands. INLS stands for ISRO's Nano satellite Launch System. The INLS 3U Uni-Pod separation system successfully flown in ISRO’s Launch Vehicle mission for deployment of three satellites from abroad. CubeSat separation system consists of a structure housing the satellite, Holding and release mechanism (HDRM), rattling arresting mechanism, satellite ejection mechanism and movement arresting/ locking mechanism. The system was designed and developed for accommodating four satellites with a maximum mass of 6.0 kg, meeting the CubeSat Design Specification (CDS). Wire fusing system is used as HDRM. Helical compression spring with pusher plate is used for ejecting the satellite. Mechanism with double torsion spring is used for rattling arresting. The system was tested in ground conditions and in thermo-vacuum environment (-15°C &amp;amp; +60°C) nearly 40 times and found meeting the design specifications. The actuation time, separation time, electrical specifications, separation velocity and rates are designed at par with the internationally available commercial systems. The satellite ejection time is within one second from command. Confirmation of satellite separation is through micro switches and reed switches. The system can be mounted in two configurations, viz rail mounting and back mounting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Abstract:
&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;This paper investigates the utilization of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites for vehicle localization and conducts a comparative analysis with traditional Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-based methods. With the rise of LEO satellite constellations, such as Starlink, LEO-based vehicle localization may offer solutions to GNSS-related challenges. With a large number of satellites and short communication distance, the LEO-based method has great potential to improve accuracy, reduce warm-up time, and provide a robust localization solution for vehicle applications. In this paper, a dedicated LEO satellite simulator is presented, adaptable to various LEO constellations, making it relevant for evolving technologies beyond older LEO systems like Orbcomm or Iridium. The simulator includes satellite trajectory generation, observable satellite identification, and vehicle localization. The LEO simulator was also seamlessly integrated with the Carla simulator for real-time online vehicle localization assessments. Comprehensive tests were conducted with the simulation tools to evaluate LEO satellite-based vehicle localization performance across different satellite counts. Results indicate the potential of LEO satellites for precise and reliable vehicle localization, even in challenging environments. Additionally, the discussion revolves around integrating diverse GNSS-based methods into the LEO simulator, offering a versatile platform for hybrid satellite-based localization research. This study underscores the promise of LEO satellites in enhancing vehicle localization accuracy and stability, contributing to autonomous driving technology and safety advancements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Abstract:
In the past, high resolution satellite imagery was the domain of national security organizations. However, this has recently changed with the launch of Space Imaging’s IKONOS satellite. Launched on September 24, 1999 it is the world’s first commercial high resolution satellite, collecting data at 1-meter black/white and 4-meter multi-spectral. 2000 has the scheduled launch of at least two more commercial high resolution satellites. If these satellites are successfully launched, a buyer will be able to acquire imagery every day of the year (barring cloud cover). As an added convenience, an image user no longer has to buy a massive swath of imagery. For example, IKONOS scenes as narrow as 5km (3 miles) can be purchased. This development has opened the door for corridor applications and has been thoroughly and successfully implemented by TransCanada Pipelines in mapping over 1500km of their mainline.

Abstract:
The Chair of Space Technology at TU Berlin continuously develops new satellite technology and software that is verified and used in various missions in orbit. 27 satellites were launched as of 2022. Many of these satellites by far outreach their design lifetime and work until today. At the same time, an increasing number of satellites not only in the academic domain is demanding for qualified operators. Hence, some of the satellites at TU Berlin are not fully operated anymore. To enable an efficient and sustainable use of those satellites, a novel hands-on student-driven project was implemented in order to utilize these aged but functional satellites to train a new generation of satellite operators. In this lecture course, students with various backgrounds are introduced to the basics of satellite operations by student tutors. Using a laboratory model of a CubeSat as a hardware-in-the-loop operations simulation, participants can collect first experiences in the university’s own Mission Control Center (MCC). Besides theoretical and practical foundations of satellite operations they gain skills in managing and coordinating satellite missions. After finishing the basic course in a theoretical and practical operations test, students qualify to participate in the advanced project giving them the opportunity to work with and operate the available satellites in orbit under supervision. Each semester, several interdisciplinary teams conduct experiments such as Earth Observation scenarios or work on related tasks like the improvement of the operations software or Human Factors of satellite operations. The pandemic has posed new challenges to this innovative educational concept, but was also a motivation to find alternative ways to teach satellite operations. The setup of simulated operations in the MCC was transformed into a combined setup of remote access and video conference. In this way, students are enabled to practice satellite operations from home. Theoretical lectures are prepared as screencasts. Further, the advanced project work was transferred to a remote manner. Students planned satellite scenarios from home, which subsequently were conducted by the student tutors, who provided the acquired telemetry data to the participants for analysis. Among the results of the project are several images with the focus on environmental monitoring of Earth, a software update for a satellite and the continuous analysis and documentation of degradation of components that have been in orbit for many years. These achievements do not only provide exciting hands-on classes and new skills to the students but often even contribute to the institution’s research

Abstract:
The New Space Age (NewSpace) marks the advent of a new era in the use of space, characterized by the opening of space to new players, the use of new space technologies, new functionalities for satellites in orbit, and the development of satellite constellations, mainly in the fields of communications and Earth observation. These developments are underpinned by first-rate scientific and technological advances, as well as considerable public and private investment, in particular in the USA, China and, to a lesser extent, Europe. Fleets of small low- and medium-orbit satellites are replacing or complementing the large geostationary satellites that predominated in the previous period. Whereas space used to be reserved to a small number of states and major industrial groups, one is now witnessing the emergence of new space states, new industrial groups such as SpaceX or Amazon, and many start-ups. One also observes the emergence of companies with launching and satellite manufacturing capacities, which are also taking on the role of telecommunication operators and content producers. The most visible result of the deployment of these new space networks is the ability to provide high-speed, low-latency Internet connections to any point on the globe. Combined with Earth observation capabilities, these new communications resources also enable real-time action to be taken in any region, including those with no equipment other than terminals. In addition, these space networks are remarkably resilient compared with terrestrial networks. Geostrategic and military considerations combine with rapidly evolving business models to explain the massive investments currently being made in this domain. However, the lack of international regulation in the field is leading to a race to occupy orbits and frequencies, which has already had serious consequences for a whole range of scientific activities. These constellations have a potentially negative impact on astronomy in the visible and infrared optical domains, as well as on radio astronomy. They also raise a major problem in terms of space congestion, with an increase in the amounts of satellite debris resulting from launches or collisions between satellites, and the possibility of reaching a phase of chain reaction collisions. In addition, from an environmental point of view, the consequences of the proliferation of launches and uncontrolled re-entries into the atmosphere are equally worrying. What’s more, the lack of regulation in the field also leads to a loss of sovereignty, since these new satellite communication networks do not comply with any of the rules that states impose on terrestrial communication networks operating on their territories. A sustainable, global solution must be found to these problems, before major and potentially irreversible damage is inflicted on the planet’s environment, geostrategic balances, democracy, and science. While the Acad´emie des Sciences considers that France and Europe need to step up their scientific and industrial actions in this field in order to benefit from the remarkable advances of these new networks, and ultimately leverage the benefits of a resilient and secure communications network, the Acad´emie also recommends working in parallel to strengthen regulation of the field with the aim of assuring sustainable access to orbital and frequency resources, as well as protection for negatively impacted fields, foremost among which are astronomy and the environment.
