Book Synopsis Achieving Science with CubeSats by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Achieving Science with CubeSats written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-06 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space-based observations have transformed our understanding of Earth, its environment, the solar system and the universe at large. During past decades, driven by increasingly advanced science questions, space observatories have become more sophisticated and more complex, with costs often growing to billions of dollars. Although these kinds of ever-more-sophisticated missions will continue into the future, small satellites, ranging in mass between 500 kg to 0.1 kg, are gaining momentum as an additional means to address targeted science questions in a rapid, and possibly more affordable, manner. Within the category of small satellites, CubeSats have emerged as a space-platform defined in terms of (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm)- sized cubic units of approximately 1.3 kg each called "U's." Historically, CubeSats were developed as training projects to expose students to the challenges of real-world engineering practices and system design. Yet, their use has rapidly spread within academia, industry, and government agencies both nationally and internationally. In particular, CubeSats have caught the attention of parts of the U.S. space science community, which sees this platform, despite its inherent constraints, as a way to affordably access space and perform unique measurements of scientific value. The first science results from such CubeSats have only recently become available; however, questions remain regarding the scientific potential and technological promise of CubeSats in the future. Achieving Science with CubeSats reviews the current state of the scientific potential and technological promise of CubeSats. This report focuses on the platform's promise to obtain high- priority science data, as defined in recent decadal surveys in astronomy and astrophysics, Earth science and applications from space, planetary science, and solar and space physics (heliophysics); the science priorities identified in the 2014 NASA Science Plan; and the potential for CubeSats to advance biology and microgravity research. It provides a list of sample science goals for CubeSats, many of which address targeted science, often in coordination with other spacecraft, or use "sacrificial," or high-risk, orbits that lead to the demise of the satellite after critical data have been collected. Other goals relate to the use of CubeSats as constellations or swarms deploying tens to hundreds of CubeSats that function as one distributed array of measurements.

Book Synopsis Contributions to the advance of the integration density of CubeSats by : Grau, Sebastian
Download or read book Contributions to the advance of the integration density of CubeSats written by Grau, Sebastian and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates potential technologies to increase the integration density of CubeSats. Observations of the CubeSat market and missions are recorded in order to derive design criteria for high performance single unit CubeSats. A promising approach to increased integration density is relocation of the components of multiple satellite subsystems to form a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel. Eligible components are usually allocated to the communication system, the electric power system, or the attitude determination and control system. In a joint research project, development, optimization, and miniaturization of those components in order to form a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel is investigated. The author first summarizes the development work of the project partners for a picosatellite solar antenna and puts it into relation to the overall solar panel design. Advantage of using solar antennas over simple patch antennas is the reduced loss of solar cell area, and hence available electric power, that is usually accompanied by the usage of higher frequency bands for broadband payload data transmission. Magnetic attitude actuators are the backbone of CubeSat attitude control. In order to increase their performance and lower their resource consumption, numerical optimization of the commonly used three coil types is investigated by the author. This leads to the formulation of a novel optimization approach, which is better suited to real-world considerations for magnetic actuator design. Results from the application of the optimization procedure show potential for every coil type. The state of the art of a novel type of attitude control actuators, so-called fluid-dynamic actuators which are based on angular momentum exchange, is advanced by the author by introducing miniaturized 3D-printed conduits for single unit CubeSat applications. Following development and functional verification, actuators are compared to existing reaction wheel systems, which shows their superiority for agile attitude maneuvers and integration with the satellite bus. Further investigation exploits additive manufacturing technologies to create redundancy concepts using four actuators with three-dimensional conduits.Finally, development, optimization, and miniaturization of subsystem components is brought together in the design, assembly, and test of a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel. Analysis of a single unit CubeSat design that applies different configurations of the multi-functional solar panel shows the potential for more than 50% payload mass and payload volume. This brings integration density of single unit CubeSats to a level similar to that of the larger triple unit form factors currently employed for the New Space mega-constellations. Diese Dissertation untersucht mögliche Technologien zur Erhöhung der Integrationsdichte von CubeSats. Beobachtungen des CubeSat-Marktes und ausgewählter Missionen werden zusammengetragen um Entwurfskriterien für hochperformante 1U CubeSats abzuleiten. Ein vielversprechender Ansatz zur Erhöhung der Integrationsdichte ist der Umzug von Komponenten verschiedener Satellitensubsysteme auf ein zu entwickelndes hochintegriertes, multifunktionales Solarpaneel. Infrage kommende Komponenten sind für gewöhnlich dem Kommunikationssystem, dem Energieversorgungssystem, oder dem Lageregelungssystem zugeordnet. In Rahmen eines gemeinschaftlichen Forschungsvorhabens wurden Entwicklung, Optimierung, und Miniaturisierung ausgewählter Komponenten eines solchen hochintegrierten, multifunktionalen Paneels untersucht. Durch den Autor wird zunächst die Entwicklung einer Solarantenne für Pikosatelliten durch den Projektpartner zusammengefasst und in Zusammenhang um Entwurf des Solarpaneels gebracht. Der Vorteil einer Solarantenne gegenüber einer einfachen Patch-Antenne ist der geringere Verlust an Solarzellenfläche, und damit zur Verfügung stehender elektrischer Leistung, der üblicherweise mit der Verwendung höherer Frequenzbänder zur breitbandigen Nutzlastdatenübertragung einhergeht. Magnetische Lageregelungsaktuatoren bilden das Rückgrat der CubeSat-Lageregelung. Um deren Leistungsfähigkeit zu erhöhen und den Ressourcenverbrauch zu verringern, wird durch den Autor die numerische Optimierung der drei gebräuchlichen Spulentypen untersucht. Dies führt zur Formulierung eines neuartigen Optimierungsansatzes welcher besser für die Anwendung realer Entwurfsprobleme geeignet ist. Die Optimierungsergebnisse zeigen ein großes Potential für die Optimierung aller betrachteter Spulentypen auf. Der Stand der Technik im Bereich neuartiger Lageregelungsaktuatoren, den sogenannten fluiddynamischen Aktuatoren die auf Drehimpulsaustausch basieren, wird durch den Autor durch die Einführung miniaturisierter 3D-gedruckter Kanäle für die Verwendung auf 1U CubeSats vorangebracht. Im Anschluss an die Entwicklung und funktionale Verifikation werden diese Aktuatoren mit existierenden Reaktionsradsystemen verglichen, was deren Überlegenheit bei agilen Lageregelungsmanövern und der Integration in den Satellitenbus aufzeigt. Weitere Untersuchungen nutzen die additiven Herstellungsverfahren zur Darstellung von redundanten Konzepten bestehend aus vier Aktuatoren mit dreidimensionalen Kanalgeometrien. Abschließend werden Entwicklung, Optimierung und Miniaturisierung der Subsystemkomponenten im Entwurf, Aufbau und Test eines hochintegrierten, multifunktionalen Seitenwandpaneels zusammengeführt. Die Analyse eines 1U CubeSat-Entwurfs unter Verwendung verschiedener Konfigurationen des multifunktionalen Solarpaneels zeigt ein Potential für jeweils mehr als 50% verfügbarer Nutzlastmasse und Nutzlastvolumen vom gesamten Satelliten. Dies hebt die Integrationsdichte von 1U CubeSats auf ein ähnliches Niveau der 3U Formfaktoren, welche gegenwärtig bei den New Space Megakonstellationen zur Anwendung kommen.

Download or read book Antenna Design for CubeSats written by Reyhan Baktur and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CubeSat is a miniaturized modular satellite that can be constructed from off-the-shelf components. With advancements in digital signal processing, power electronics, and packaging technology, it is feasible to fit science instruments and communication devices that were traditionally carried on larger satellites on CubeSat consolations. This not only reduces mission cost, repair, risk, but also provides more precise and real-time science data. Their low cost and versatility allow for CubeSats to be used to test technologies that are planned to use on larger satellites, to collect point-to-point data in space when launched as CubeSat constellations, or to monitor health of larger spacecrafts. This comprehensive reference explores CubeSat standards, launching methods, and detailed design guidelines for antennas specially made for CubeSat applications. Deployed CubeSat antennas, such as low gain antennas, high gain wire-based antennas, and horn and dish antennas as they relate to the technology are explored. Conformal CubeSat Antennas, including those that are independent of CubeSats and those integrated in CubeSat solar panels, are discussed. An antenna design guideline is provided to demonstrate the basics of a CubeSat link budget, which is transitionally published in signal and system community. Written by an expert in the field, this book enables readers to read antenna specifics when choosing communication front-end.

Download or read book Attitude Stabilization for CubeSat written by Mohammed Chessab Mahdi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores CubeSat technology, and develops a nonlinear mathematical model of a spacecraft with the assumption that the satellite is a rigid body. It places emphasis on the CubeSat subsystem, orbit dynamics and perturbations, the satellite attitude dynamic and modeling, and components of attitude determination and the control subsystem. The book focuses on the attitude stabilization methods of spacecraft, and presents gravity gradient stabilization, aerodynamic stabilization, and permanent magnets stabilization as passive stabilization methods, and spin stabilization and three axis stabilization as active stabilization methods. It also discusses the need to develop a control system design, and describes the design of three controller configurations, namely the Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controller (PID), the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), and the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and how they can be used to design the attitude control of CubeSat three-axis stabilization. Furthermore, it presents the design of a suitable attitude stabilization system by combining gravity gradient stabilization with magnetic torquing, and the design of magnetic coils which can be added in order to improve the accuracy of attitude stabilization. The book then investigates, simulates, and compares possible controller configurations that can be used to control the currents of magnetic coils when magnetic coils behave as the actuator of the system.

Book Synopsis Contributions to on-board navigation on 1U CubeSats by : Weiß, Sascha
Download or read book Contributions to on-board navigation on 1U CubeSats written by Weiß, Sascha and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the use of GNSS receivers on 1U CubeSats, using the example of BEESAT-4 and BEESAT-9. The integration of such a device on satellites enables highly precise time synchronization, position acquisition and orbit determination and prediction The application fields that depend on an accurate attitude control and orbit determination system and can also be processed by CubeSats are highlighted. Therefore the state of the art of GNSS receivers is described, which are suitable for the use on satellites and could be integrated into 1U CubeSats. Further on it is investigated which subsystems of a small satellite are particularly affected and what the special challenges are to realize a precise positioning with a GNSS receiver. In addition, some developments are presented that have significantly increased the performance of 1U CubeSats in recent years. The system concept of BEESAT satellites is introduced and the evolution of the payload board including the use of the latest sensor technologies for attitude control is described. It is shown how the verification of the satellite's subsystems was performed on the ground, with the focus on testing and simulating the attitude control and the GNSS receiver. The necessary integration steps, the calibration and environmental test campaign are discussed. Both satellites were successfully operated and the results of the on-orbit experiments are presented. It is shown how a three-axis stabilized attitude control was first verified on BEESAT-4 and then a GNSS receiver was successfully operated on BEESAT-9 for more than one year. In addition, the inter-satellite link between BEESAT-4 and BIROS will be analyzed, since it is essential for the relative navigation of satellites. The acquired navigation data was sent to the ground and the identification of BEESAT-9 was carried out using this data. A qualitative analysis of the orbital elements (TLE) of BEESAT-9 was performed systematically due to a daily operation of the GNSS receiver. Furthermore, it was investigated how a small GNSS antenna affects the received signal strength from GNSS satellites and whether this antenna or its amplifier degrades over time. Additionally, an orbit determination and propagation based on the navigation data could be performed and the results are evaluated. The analyzed questions allow a statement about the continuous use of GNSS receivers on 1U CubeSats and if it is necessary to achieve the mission objectives. Diese Arbeit untersucht den Einsatz von GNSS-Empfängern auf 1U CubeSats am Beispiel von BEESAT-4 und BEESAT-9. Das Integrieren einer solchen Komponente auf Satelliten ermöglicht eine hochgenaue Zeitsynchronisation, Positions- und Orbitbestimmung sowie deren Vorhersage Es werden die Anwendungsfelder beleuchtet, die auf ein akkurates Lageregelungs- und Orbitbestimmungssystem angewiesen sind und außerdem auch von CubeSats bearbeitet werden können. Dazu wird der Stand der Technik von GNSS-Empfängern beschrieben, die für den Einsatz auf Satelliten geeignet sind und von ihren Eigenschaften auch auf 1U CubeSats integriert werden könnten. Weitergehend wird untersucht, welche Subsysteme eines Kleinstsatelliten besonders betroffen sind und was die speziellen Herausforderungen sind, um eine präzise Positionsbestimmung mithilfe eines GNSS-Empfängers zu realisieren. Dazu werden auch einige Entwicklungen vorgestellt, die in den letzten Jahren die Leistungsfähigkeit von 1U CubeSats signifikant erhöht haben. Das Systemkonzept der BEESAT Satelliten wird eingeführt und die Evolution der Nutzlastplatine inklusive der Verwendung der jeweils neuesten Sensortechnologien für die Lageregelung beschrieben. Es wird gezeigt wie die Verifikation der Subsysteme des Satelliten am Boden erfolgte, wobei der Fokus auf dem Testen und Simulieren der Lageregelung und dem GNSS-Empfänger liegt. Dazu werden die notwendigen Integrationsschritte, die Kalibrations- und die Umwelttestkampagne diskutiert. Beide Satelliten wurden erfolgreich betrieben und die Ergebnisse der on-orbit Experimente werden vorgestellt. Es wird gezeigt wie zunächst eine dreiachsenstabilisierte Lageregelung auf BEESAT-4 verifiziert und anschließend auf BEESAT-9 über mehr als ein Jahr ein GNSS-Empfänger erfolgreich betrieben wurde. Zusätzlich wird der Intersatelliten Link zwischen BEESAT-4 und BIROS analysiert, da dieser für die Relativnavigation von Satelliten essentiell ist. Die akquirierten Navigationsdaten wurden zum Boden gesendet und die Identifizierung von BEESAT-9 erfolgte mithilfe dieser Daten. Eine qualitative Analyse der Orbitelemente (TLE) von BEESAT-9 konnte systematisch durchgeführt werden durch einen täglichen Einsatz des GNSS-Empfängers. Weiterhin wurde erforscht wie sich eine kleine GNSS-Antenne auf die empfangenen Signalstärken der GNSS Satelliten auswirkt und ob diese Antenne oder ihr Verstärker mit der Zeit degradieren. Zusätzlich konnte eine Orbitbestimmung und -propagation auf Basis der Navigationsdaten durchgeführt und die Ergebnisse ausgewertet werden. Die analysierten Fragestellungen erlauben eine Aussage über den durchgängigen Einsatz von GNSS-Empfängern auf 1U CubeSats und ob dieser notwendig ist um die Missionsziele zu erreichen.
Book Synopsis Cubesat Engineering by : Patrick Stakem
Download or read book Cubesat Engineering written by Patrick Stakem and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to Cubesats, those popular and relatively inexpensive modular spacecraft that are upending the aerospace world. They have been built and deployed by colleges and Universities around the world, as well as high schools and elementary schools, even individuals. This is because Cubesats are modular, standard, and relatively low cost. The expensive part is the launch, but that is addressed by launch fixtures compatible with essentially ever launch on the planet. Although you may not have much of a choice in the orbit. Student Cubesat Projects are usually open source, may be world-wide in scope, and collaborative. At the same time, professionals in aerospace have not failed to consider the Cubesat architecture as an alternative for small-sat missions. This can reduce costs by one or two orders of magnitude. There are Cubesats on the International Space Station, and these can be returned to Earth on a resupply mission. There is a large "cottage industry' developed around the Cubesat architecture, addressing "professional" projects with space-rated hardware. NASA itself has developed Cubesat hardware (Pi-Sat) and Software (cfs). Cubesats are modular, built to a standard, and mostly open-source. The downside is, approximately 50% of Cubesat missions fail. We hope to point out some approaches to improve this. If you define and implement your own Cubesat mission, or work as a team member on a larger project, this book presents and points to information that will be valuable. Even if you never get your own Cubesat to orbit, you can be a valuable addition to a Cubesat or larger aerospace project. Shortly, two NASA Cubesats will be heading to Mars. The unique Cubesat architecture introduces a new Paradigm for exploring the many elements of our Solar System. Best of luck on your mission.
