Drag Sail Conceptual Design for Satellite Orbit Reduction in Low Earth Orbit [PDF]
The main purpose of this paper is to provide a regular design process of drag sail for deorbiting a satellite in LEO orbit concerning the mission requirements. In this regard, the design requirements and manufacturing considerations of the drag sail have

Low Earth Orbit Satellite Systems
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 satellite constellation in geostationary Earth orbit [PDF]
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.

Test and Performance Analysis Methods of Low Earth Orbit GPS Receiver [PDF]
The use of GPS receiver at outer space becomes common in low earth orbit. Recently most of satellites use GPS receiver as navigation solution for finding satellite position.

Analysis on the coverage performance and networking scheme of an MEO constellation
Geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite orbit position resources have been scarce for a long time.The development of giant low-orbit satellite constellations has made the low-orbit resources unprecedentedly scarce.As a compromise between GEO and low ...

Satellite laser ranging to low Earth orbiters: orbit and network validation [PDF]
Satellite laser ranging (SLR) to low Earth orbiters (LEOs) provides optical distance measurements with mm-to-cm-level precision. SLR residuals, i.e., differences between measured and modeled ranges, serve as a common figure of merit for the quality assessment of orbits derived by radiometric tracking techniques. We discuss relevant processing standards

Design of optimal Earth pole-sitter transfers using low-thrust propulsion [PDF]
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.

An aerostable drag-sail device for the deorbit and disposal of sub-tonne, low earth orbit spacecraft [PDF]
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
