Deployable Reflectors for Small Satellites
A key limitation for future Small Satellite communications and radar missions will be available antenna reflector aperture. Two types of reflectors are dominant for satellite RF systems today, rigid, single-piece reflectors and deployable mesh reflectors. Single-piece reflectors are limited to the aperture that fits inside a launch vehicle without packaging the reflective surface. Mesh reflecto...
متن کاملA small footprint i-vector extractor
Both the memory and computational requirements of algorithms traditionally used to extract i-vectors at run time and to train i-vector extractors off-line scale quadratically in the ivector dimensionality. We describe a variational Bayes algorithm for calculating i-vectors exactly which converges in a few iterations and whose computational and memory requirements scale linearly rather than quad...
متن کاملRight-sizing Small Satellites
Spacecraft standardization has been a topic of great debate within the space community. This paper intends to be a provocative thought piece asking one fundamental question: “is there a ‘right size’ for small satellites?” In order to answer this question, we propose three top-down design factors for the space systems engineering process: spacecraft utility, mission utility, and optimum cost. Sp...
متن کاملStar Formation Histories of the Galactic Satellites
Late accretion models for formation of the Galactic halo require that many Galactic satellite galaxies have been cannibalised into the halo field. Comparison of the metallicity and age distribution function of stars in the surviving satellites with the apparently exclusively old stars in the field halo can constrain the importance of any such process. We have developed a new objective technique...
متن کاملPulsed Plasma Thrusters for Small Satellites
Since the Russian launch of the Zond-2 satellite in 1964 there have been over fifty years of research dedicated to the understanding of the first electric propulsion device to be flown in space, the Pulsed Plasma Thruster. The Pulsed Plasma Thruster originates from the evolution of the vacuum arc switch, but due to its microsecond operation time, the internal dynamics and nature of operation ha...
