Preparations for the MicroMAS CubeSat mission
2013 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - IGARSS, 2013The Micro-sized Microwave Atmospheric Satellite (MicroMAS) is a 3U CubeSat (10×10×34 cm, ~4 kg) hosting a passive microwave spectrometer operating near the 118.75-GHz oxygen absorption line. MicroMAS is a dual-spinning 3U CubeSat that aims to address the need for low-cost, mission-flexible, and rapidly deployable spaceborne sensors.

Attitude determination module for CubeSat
2015 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT), 2015The increasing interest of medium and small companies in CubeSats is due to their inherent characteristics like low cost, reduced requirements and short term startup of such space missions. New navigation instruments and modules are being designed and manufacturing in order to increase the functionality and performance of this kind of picosatellites ...

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

Miniature Klystron for CubeSats
2020 IEEE 21st International Conference on Vacuum Electronics (IVEC), 2020We report progress on a miniature klystron amplifier for 1U (10×10×10cm) CubeSats with output power of 32 watts at Ka band (35.6 GHz) and saturated gain of 35 dB. Three beam testers have been built for testing the cathode and focusing structure. A narrow band microwave amplifier is currently under construction and will be discussed.

Acta Astronautica, 2017
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.

A Fault-Tolerant MPSoC For CubeSats
2019 IEEE International Symposium on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI and Nanotechnology Systems (DFT), 2019We present the implementation of a fault-tolerant MP-SoC for very small satellites ( $W$ of total power consumption, which for the first time enables true fault-tolerance for very small spacecraft such as CubeSats. For critical space missions aboard heavier satellites, we implemented an MPSoC-variant for the space-grade XQRKU060 part together with the

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 ...

The Internet of Space Things/CubeSats
IEEE Network, 2019The Internet of Things for terrestrial deployments is a major part of next-generation 5G wireless systems. However, there are many use cases such as monitoring of remote areas, Internet provisioning to under-served or disrupted regions, or intelligent global transport management, which require a more global, scalable, flexible, and resilient solution ...

The Virginia CubeSat Constellation Mission; A Co-Development of Society and CubeSats
2020The topic that links the STS research paper to the technical report is the focus on CubeSat technology. Since the CubeSat revolution in 1999, the use of this originally niche piece of technology has greatly grown within the scientific community and higher education, and has permeated into the commercial sector and lower education as well.
