CubeSat evolution: Analyzing CubeSat capabilities for conducting science missions
Progress in Aerospace Sciences, 2017Abstract Traditionally, the space industry produced large and sophisticated spacecraft handcrafted by large teams of engineers and budgets within the reach of only a few large government-backed institutions. However, over the last decade, the space industry experienced an increased interest towards smaller missions and recent advances in commercial ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
Many countries are considering the role of space technology in their science and technology portfolios. Countries with no previous or expressed interest in space technology are now assessing potential applications of space technology. National space agencies through bi-lateral agreements, the United Nations (UN), NGOs, and some private entities are ...

CubeSat Torrent: Torrent like distributed communications for CubeSat satellite clusters
MILCOM 2012 - 2012 IEEE Military Communications Conference, 2012CubeSat is a pico satellite weighing one kilogram, measuring one liter in volume and is used primarily for space research. Low data rate communication limits the use of CubeSats for missions like imaging and remote sensing. In this paper we study how power, volume and geometry constraints of a CubeSat satellite cripple CubeSat communications and ...

Abstract At present, very few CubeSats have flown in space featuring propulsion systems. Of those that have, the literature is scattered, published in a variety of formats (conference proceedings, contractor websites, technical notes, and journal articles), and often not available for public release.

2017 29th Chinese Control And Decision Conference (CCDC), 2017
From 2013 till the end of 2016, more than 552 NanoSats (500 CubeSats among them), weighing less than 10kg, have been launched successfully in total. With the explosive growth of NanoSats/CubeSats, Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) of NanoSats/CubeSats has undergone a profound transform and has changed from the initial passive attitude ...

CubeSat Separation Parameter Optimization
2018 12th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS), 2018To implement noninterference deployment and meet the initial orbital attitude requirements of CubeSat, the CubeSat separation process is designed, theoretical analyzed and parameter optimized. Aiming at the direct-driving kinematic scheme of separation spring pushing CubeSat to open the door, the dynamic mathematical model for kinematic coupling system

CubeSats as Responsive Satellites
Space 2005, 2005California Polytechnic State University, in coordination with Stanford University, has developed the CubeSat standard to provide inexpensive and timely access to space for small payloads. These picosatellites, built mostly by universities, are 10 centimeter cubes with a mass of 1 kilogram.
