High altitude balloon testing of Arduino and environmental sensors for CubeSat prototype [PDF]
HardwareX, 2022 CubeSats were conceived with an aim to provide students with hands-on, design, build, and test experiences on spacecraft. Many education-class CubeSats keep the cost of the projects low with the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products.

Micro Satellite Orbital Boost by Electrodynamic Tethers
Micromachines, 2021 In this manuscript, a method for maneuvering a spacecraft using electrically charged tethers is explored. The spacecraft’s velocity vector can be modified by interacting with Earth’s magnetic field. Through this method, a spacecraft can maintain an orbit

Magnetic cleanliness on NanoMagSat, a CubeSats’ constellation science mission
International Conference on Embedded and Multimedia Computing, 2023 NanoMagSat is a constellation of three identical 16U CubeSats, which aims to complement, at a much lower cost, ESA's Swarm constellation of satellites that currently monitor the Earth's magnetic field and ionospheric environment.

DLR's Optical Communication Terminals for CubeSats
2022 IEEE International Conference on Space Optical Systems and Applications (ICSOS), 2022 Free space optical communication (FSO) overcomes the challenges of traditional RF-communication in space. With its high data-rates, robustness against electromagnetic influences and being free from organizational regulations, FSO provides solutions for ...

A Femto-Satellite Localization Method Based on TDOA and AOA Using Two CubeSats
Remote Sensing, 2022 This article presents a feasibility analysis to remotely estimate the geo-location of a femto-satellite only using two station-CubeSats and the communication link between the femto-satellite and each CubeSat.
