Abstract Unexpectedly following launch, the Lunar Trailblazer mission experienced software anomalies that led it to orient solar panels away from the sun and lose communication with Earth. This paper describes efforts to determine the spacecraft state and attempt recovery of the mission's science at the Moon.

Cooperative Downlink Multicell Preprocessing Relying on Reduced-Rate Back-Haul Data Exchange [PDF]
Different-complexity multicell preprocessing (MCP) schemes employing distributed signal-to-interference leakage-plus-noise ratio (SILNR) precoding techniques are proposed, which require reduced back-haul data exchange in comparison with the conventional ...

HELIOS ‐ Highly rEliable Links durIng sOlar conjunctionS
Abstract During deep space missions, maintaining reliable communication between a spacecraft and Earth becomes particularly challenging during superior solar conjunctions, when the spacecraft passes behind the Sun relative to Earth. The highly ionized solar corona and solar wind create plasma inhomogeneities that severely affect radio signals, leading ...

Orbital Decay of the Three SNIPE CubeSats During the Super Geomagnetic Storm in May 2024
Abstract The Mother's Day (Gannon) geomagnetic superstorm of May 2024 produced extreme thermospheric heating and expansion, resulting in enhanced atmospheric drag on low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites. We investigate storm‐time thermospheric drag and density variability using three satellites of the Small‐scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma ...

Spatial de-correlation of the UTRA-FDD radio channel [PDF]
For smart antenna deployment in Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) applications the downlink weight vector can be derived from the uplink steering vector, assuming a degree of correlation between these channels.

Iterative Near-Maximum-Likelihood Detection in Rank-Deficient Downlink SDMA Systems
—In this paper, a precoded and iteratively detected downlink multiuser system is proposed, which is capable of operating in rankdeficient scenarios, when the number of transmitters exceeds the number of receivers.

Initial and Post-Initial Code Acquisition in the Non-Coherent Multiple Input/Multiple Output Aided DS-CDMA Downlink [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the issues of both initial and post-initial acquisition schemes in the multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO)-aided direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) downlink when communicating over spatially ...

Singular value decomposition-based multiuser multiple-input multiple-output vector perturbation-aided downlink transmitter and lattice-reduction-assisted uplink receiver pair [PDF]
: A full-duplex uplink/downlink (UL/DL) system having a UL transmitter/receiver (transceiver) pair and a DL transceiver is considered. Both the UL and DL are improved.

Modulation-mode assignment for SVD-assisted and iteratively detected downlink multiuser MIMO transmission schemes [PDF]
In this contribution we jointly optimize the number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers and the number of bits per symbol within an iteratively-detected multiuser MIMO downlink (DL) transmission scheme under the constraint of a given fixed ...
