Tailoring Model‐Based Systems Engineering for Sub‐100 g PlanarSats: A Power‐First View Stack

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses how to apply model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) to ultrasmall planar satellites under severe power and resource constraints. PlanarSats are sub‐100‐gram spacecraft built as single printed‐circuit boards where the same surface must host both electronics and solar cells, so power generation, geometry, and component ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Optimal Solar Panel Area Computation and Temperature Tracking for a CubeSat System using Model Predictive Control

Информатика и автоматизация, 2020
Recently, there has been a rising interest in small satellites such as CubeSats in the aerospace community due to their small size and cost-effective operation. It is challenging to ensure precision performance for satellites with minimum cost and energy

Simulating Bouncing Packets Driven by Ducted Lightning‐Generated Whistlers: Comparison With SAMPEX Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Bouncing packets are quasi‐periodic microbursts separated by the electron bounce period. Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer observations revealed relativistic (>1 MeV) inner‐belt bouncing packets with “crown,” “decaying,” and “flat” envelopes.

Evolution of Reversed Electron Energy Spectra in Earth’s Radiation Belts Observed by CIRBE

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Following an intense geomagnetic storm (Dst < −150 nT) on 5 November 2023, electron fluxes in the outer radiation belt were reduced by more than three orders of magnitude at energies below ∼700 keV while they were enhanced at ∼1–3 MeV, leading to reversed energy spectra.

Improved A* Algorithm for Path Planning Based on CubeSats In-Orbit Electromagnetic Transfer System

Aerospace
For future large-scale CubeSat applications in orbit, the deployer must accommodate a greater number of CubeSats and facilitate cluster releases. This paper introduces an improved A* algorithm tailored for CubeSat in-orbit transfer path planning.

Spaceborne Far‐Infrared Signal Simulations Over the Antarctic Plateau With Temperature‐Dependent Ice Cloud Optical Properties

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Longwave cloud radiative effects significantly influence variability in global and regional Earth systems. However, there have been very few, if any, measurements of the far‐infrared (FIR) radiation over the polar regions, where about half of the outgoing longwave radiation is in the FIR spectrum. This motivated the Polar Radiant Energy in the
