An aerostable drag-sail device for the deorbit and disposal of sub-tonne, low earth orbit spacecraft [PDF]
, 2006 There is an increasing amount of debris in low Earth orbit arising from the disintegration and collision of old spacecraft which have not been removed from orbit. A ‘bolt-on’ deorbit device to be attached to new spacecraft is therefore proposed, which

Self-organising satellite constellation in geostationary Earth orbit [PDF]
, 2015 This paper presents a novel solution to the problem of autonomous task allocation for a self-organizing satellite constellation in Earth orbit. The method allows satellites to cluster themselves above targets on the Earth’s surface.

Measuring a Low-Earth-Orbit Satellite Network
2023 IEEE 34th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC), 2023 Starlink and alike have attracted a lot of attention recently, however, the inner working of these low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite networks is still largely unknown. This paper presents an ongoing measurement campaign focusing on Starlink, including its satellite access networks, gateway and point-of-presence structures, and backbone and Internet ...

Low Earth Orbit Satellite Systems
Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy, 2022 Satellites have been around for many decades, yet the low Earth orbit (LEO) was avoided as the cost exceeded the demand until recently. This paper is based on a live presentation to the Australian Telecommunications Association (TelSoc) by Ruth Pritchard-Kelly, Senior Advisor on Regulatory Affairs for OneWeb, and was chaired by TelSoc Broadband Futures

Self-organising low Earth orbit constellations for Earth observation [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents a novel method of manipulating the spatial pattern of a fractionated micro-satellite constellation in Low Earth Orbit. The method developed allows satellites to manipulate the longitudinal position of their ground-tracks over the ...

T3P: Demystifying Low-Earth Orbit Satellite Broadband
CoRR, 2023 The Internet is going through a massive infrastructural revolution with the advent of low-flying satellite networks, 5/6G, WiFi7, and hollow-core fiber deployments. While these networks could unleash enhanced connectivity and new capabilities, it is critical to understand the performance characteristics to efficiently drive applications over them.

Design of optimal Earth pole-sitter transfers using low thrust propulsion [PDF]
, 2011 Recent studies have shown the feasibility of an Earth pole-sitter mission using low-thrust propulsion. This mission concept involves a spacecraft following the Earth's polar axis to have a continuous, hemispherical view of one of the Earth's poles.

Extension of highly elliptical Earth orbits using continuous low-thrust propulsion [PDF]
, 2013 The extension of highly elliptical orbits, with free selection of orbit period, using low thrust propulsion is investigated. These newly proposed orbits, termed Taranis orbits, are enabled by existing low-thrust propulsion technology, offering a ...

Spatial Geometry Design of a Low Earth Orbit Constellation for Iranian Regional Navigation Satellite System [PDF]
Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2021 The regional navigation satellite system (RNSS) is recently used in some countries to cover or enhance their local navigation. The most important satellite navigation systems to date are in the Earth medium orbit (MEO) and Earth synchronous Earth orbit ...
