THERMAL ANALYSES AND VERIFICATION FOR HAUSAT-2 SMALL SATELLITE

Comparative Study on Space Qualified Paints Used for Thermal Control of a Small Satellite

Inter-Satellite Communications for Small Satellite Systems

Small satellite technology has opened a new era in aerospace engineering by decreasing space mission costs, without greatly reducing the performance. The concept of formation flying using small satellites is becoming popular because of their potential to perform coordinated measurements of remote sensing space missions. The current state of art in satellite communications is a one hop link betw...

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the current trends and practices in small-satellite software verification and validation. This document is not intended to promote a specific software assurance method. Rather, it seeks to present an unbiased survey of software assurance methods used to verify and validate small satellite software and to make mention of the benefits and val...

Prospecting for geothermal energy through satellite based thermal data: Review and the way forward

Geothermal investors need to be confident with the methods and results of exploration programs. Also cutting the upfront cost of geothermal exploration will further encourage investors to consider investment in this emerging clean energy field. Hence, it is of paramount importance to improve prospecting techniques in order to explore where economic concentrations of geothermal energy are to be ...

→ Big Year for Small Satellite

Less than a cubic metre in volume, Proba-2 is one of the smallest missions ever flown by ESA. But judged by performance per kilogram, Proba-2 can also claim to be among the most scientifically and technically productive.
