Study of Low-cost Orbit Determination System for Tethered Satellites
The statistics of estimated errors when conducting the orbit determination of a tethered satellite system (TSS) by only using Doppler frequencies is shown. TSS consists of two satellites connected each other by a tether. The center of mass (CM) moves like a single satellite, so this system can be utilized in case of a single satellite as well as TSS. This is considered as a low-cost orbit deter...
متن کاملPrecise Orbit Determination for Low Earth Orbit Satellites
The precise orbit determination problem is to accurately determine the position and velocity vectors of an orbiting satellite. In this paper we review the general contents of the orbit determination process, with particular emphasis on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The different orbit determination approaches and the different force models contained within are briefly discussed. The two mai...
متن کاملMicroGPS for Low-Cost Orbit Determination
This article presents a new technology for satellite orbit determination using a simple Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver (microGPS) with ultra-low cost, power, and mass. The capability of low-cost orbit determination with microGPS for a low Earth-orbiting satellite, Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (SNOE), is demonstrated using actual GPS data from the GPS/Meteorology (MET) satellite. The ...
متن کاملSatellites Orbit Design and Determination for the Australian Garada Project
Australia is presently investigating the design of an earth observation Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite mission, known as “Garada”, optimised to collect SAR images over Australia’s huge land mass for a variety of applications using several small satellites flying in formation. The Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research (ACSER) is funded by a grant from the Australian Space Re...
متن کاملCDMA in Low Earth Orbit Satellites
In recent years the use of small multi mission satellites (SMMS) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for making voice, data and E-mail communications has been grown extensively. Low production cost, Low cost of lunching and low transmission power due to it’s low orbit of these satellites are some reasons for their vast usage. How over because of their low orbit they need to turn several times around the e...
