Investigating Potential Benefits of Future Sub‐L1 Missions With STEREO‐A
Abstract We present the first statistical study of geomagnetic storm forecasting using in situ data from the STEREO‐A spacecraft as a sub‐L1 monitor. Between November 2022 and June 2024, STEREO‐A crossed the Sun–Earth line, covering longitudinal and radial separations of ±15° $\pm 15{}^{\circ}$ from the Sun–Earth line and 0.01–0.06 au from Earth.

Abstract Spaceborne radar systems such as the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM)'s core satellite Dual‐frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) provide global insight into precipitation structure, storm morphology, and hydrological cycles. However, their limited spatial and temporal sampling and high cost constrain their ability to continuously ...

Schematic of manufacturing carbon fabric composite structural batteries. ABSTRACT Structural batteries based on woven carbon fabrics are typically established on lithium ion phosphate (LFP) and graphite. While this method proved viable from the manufacturing perspective, the resulting structural batteries exhibited suboptimal electrochemical ...

MXene‐Coated 3D Printed Horn Antennas for Ku Frequency Band
An additive manufacturing approach to 3D printing horn antennas and coating them with Ti3C2Tx MXene is proposed. Rapid fabrication of lightweight, high‐performance antennas operating in the Ku‐band (12.4–18 GHz) has been demonstrated. The MXene‐coated antennas exhibit comparable electromagnetic performance to conventional, costly aluminum ones, with ...

Surface Degradation of Stainless‐Steel Thruster Components Under Iodine Plasma Exposure
Iodine offers compelling advantages as a propellant for next‐generation spacecraft, yet its corrosive nature poses critical risks to structural components. This study examines the surface interactions between iodine plasma and stainless steel 304 under simulated space conditions, revealing progressive oxidation, surface delamination, and increasing ...

CubeSat attitude determination [PDF]
When satellites are placed in orbit, often times a specific orientation is required to achieve mission purposes. Different factors (such as atmospheric drag, magnetic fields, solar winds) or tumbling upon deployment from the launch vehicle, may result in an undesirable satellite orientation.

Clustering Algorithm for CubeSat Constellations
In recent years, constellations of CubeSat are redefining the concept of space missions. Complex missions that in the past could only be accomplished using large and expensive satellites can now be performed by CubeSat constellations that, thanks to ...
