A passive high altitude deorbiting strategy

open access: yes, 2011
A deorbiting strategy for small satellites, in particular CubeSats, is proposed which exploits the effect of solar radiation pressure to increase the spacecraft orbit eccentricity so that the perigee falls below an altitude where atmospheric drag will ...

The alternative of CubeSat-based advanced infrared and microwave sounders for high impact weather forecasting

open access: yesAtmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2019
The advanced infrared (IR) and microwave (MW) sounding systems have been providing atmospheric sounding information critical for nowcasting and improving weather forecasts through data assimilation in numerical weather prediction.

Solar radiation pressure augmented deorbiting from high altitude sun-synchronous orbits

open access: yes, 2012
This paper discusses the use of solar radiation pressure (SRP) augmented deorbiting to passively remove small satellites from high altitude Sun-synchronous orbits. SRP-augmented deorbiting works by deploying a light-weight reflective inflatable device to

ESIP 2019 Winter Plenary - From Baseline Science Instruments to CubeSats

open access: yes, 2019
Element 84 has been working in the ballooning CubeSat space and recognizes the massive amount of data flowing in from CubeSats and that the biggest use of CubeSats are commercial companies and universities. Previously, only big government agencies could

Development of Novel Integrated Antennas for CubeSats

open access: yes, 2015
The Development of Novel Integrated Antennas for CubeSats project is directed at the development of novel antennas for CubeSats to replace the bulky and obtrusive antennas (e.g., whip antennas) that are typically used.

Survey of Propulsion Technologies Applicable to Cubesats

open access: yes, 2010
At present, no Cubesat has flown in space featuring propulsion. This was acceptable as long as CubeSats were flown mostly as university experiments.
