INTRODUCTION Budgetary challenges and launch access limitations have historically constrained the ability to field new space capabilities and technologies for many U.S. government organizations focused on civil and national security alike. Throughout the past decade, advances in highly reliable commercial electronics, miniaturization techniques, and materials have enabled a new class of small n...

To ensure the safety of space station and improve accuracy estimated trajectory tracking noncooperative target, an optical imaging micro-/nanosatellite based on APSO-SSUKF (adaptive particle swarm optimization-spherical simplex unscented Kalman filter) is proposed to track low-orbit target using angle-only measurement. First, algorithm considers effect J2 perturbation, uses data as observation ...

This article presents an innovative mechatronic design of a high-accuracy pointing mechanism for orbital laser communication terminals. The system is based on dual-stage architecture and miniaturized to fit nanosatellite-class spacecraft, aiming enable optical small-size space platforms. focus control aspects the performance assessment experimental prototype under emulated external environmenta...

Abstract The development of national aerospace technology has aroused interest in different sectors, so there is a long road to transformation where our country must develop the necessary infrastructure for said technology. educational sector been interested but use this type expensive. That why, with support ICTs, we think about how solve problem and augmented reality (AR) comes in, given that...

The existing military satellite communication system was based on geostationary satellites equipped with special payloads against enemy’s jamming and signal reception. With the advent of new weapon systems such as unmanned systems, need for low-orbit satellite-based is increasing. This paper introduces various waveform technologies suitable cube operational concept a future nanosatellite system.
