Micro-satellite Mission Analysis: Theory Overview and Some Examples
نویسنده
چکیده
Rudimentary mission analysis for micro-satellites has been carried out, in particular for ionospheric/thermospheric " dipper " missions. The basic equations of orbital mechanics are summarized and commented on. General properties of near-Earth orbits are discussed and exemplified in figures and tables. In addition, a few specific mission scenarios are described and discussed.

Injectivity in a category: an overview on smallness conditions
Some of the so called smallness conditions in algebra as well as in category theory, are important and interesting for their own and also tightly related to injectivity, are essential boundedness, cogenerating set, and residual smallness. In this overview paper, we first try to refresh these smallness condition by giving the detailed proofs of the results mainly by Bernhard Banaschewski and W...
متن کاملPerformance testing of a microfabricated propulsion system for nanosatellite applications
There is a growing interest in the use of micro and nanosatellites within the aerospace community. Constellations of small satellites may eventually replace much larger, single function spacecraft as a cheaper, more flexible alternative. Micro-technologies will be required to enable small satellite missions including efficient, low-cost propulsion systems for maneuvering. A MEMS fabricated prop...
متن کاملIntelligent Satellite Teams for Space Systems
This paper examines the development of Intelligent Satellite Teams (IST’s) for complex space missions such as construction of space hardware, or Earth or space science. IST’s are composed of many nanosatellites (mass < 10kg) or picosatellites (mass < 10g). IST development is a synergy of many disciplines, such as: intelligent control including formation flying, collision avoidance, knowledge sh...

متن کاملEffects of Some Parameters on Thermal Control of a LEO Satellite
Satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. Effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite have been studied. Results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. H...
