Micro-satellites Advantages
To the assessment of satellite’s capabilities during their progress can be added indices as mass, size and cost. At the final stages of their life-cycle development, owing to the progress in current space technologies, the idea for using small satellites is approved. The small satellites are specified as workefficient, productive and promising. The estimation and the choice ensue from economic ...
متن کاملDeployable 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 کاملDutch Micro Systems Technology for the next Generation of Small Satellites
Advanced microelectronics and Micro Systems Technology (MST) enable an increased functional performance of small satellites with decreased demands on mass, size and power. The research and development cluster MISAT stimulates the design and development of advanced small satellite platforms based on MST aiming at innovative space and terrestrial applications. Focus of research and development is...
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 کاملMicromachined Platforms on Silicon for Micro-sofc
This communication reports on the design, fabrication and testing of special high temperature Si/SiN based micro-hotplates as micromachined platforms for micro-SOFCs. Different designs and materials have been evaluated to realise micro-heating platforms compatible with spray pyrolysed anode, cathode and electrolytes materials. The potential of these micromachined platforms for further integrati...
