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 ...

Thermoelectric Generators Applied as a Power Source in CubeSats: State of the Art

Energies
This systematic review outlines the application of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) as energy sources in CubeSats. While CubeSats currently rely on solar cells with efficiencies between 16.8% and 32.2%, their performance diminishes with increased ...

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

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.

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

Model‐Based Systems Engineering in Space Applications: A Comprehensive Literature Review

Systems Engineering, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 975-1017, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing complexity of space engineering is driving the demand to embrace the adoption of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Although the MBSE is well‐practiced in the space industry, the level of effort and need required to obtain the benefits of MBSE vastly differ across enterprises; this disparity presents a significant challenge to
