Attitude and Orbital Dynamics of a Variable-Geometry, Spinning Solar Sail in Earth Orbit [PDF]

, 2017
At the ISSS 2013, a novel concept of variable-geometry solar sail was introduced: deployed in the shape of a three-dimensional quasi-rhombic pyramid (QRP), the sail exploited its shape and shift between center of mass and center of pressure to naturally ...

Nanosatellite Deorbit Motor

, 2013
Existing and expected debris mitigation regulations require LEO spacecraft to deorbit within 25 years. Given typical spacecraft ballistic coefficients, this places an upper limit of perigee of around 600 km altitude for nanosatellites such as CubeSats.

The Nice Cube (Nice3) nanosatellite project

, 2018
CubeSats are tiny satellites with increasing capabilities. They have been used for more than a decade by universities to train students on space technologies, in a hands-on project aiming at building, launching and operating a real satellite. Still today, one shortcoming of CubeSats is their poor ability to transmit large amounts of data to the ground.

Practical strategies to stabilize a nanosatellite platform with a space camera and integrated mechanical parts [PDF]

, 2014
The growth and speed of nanosatellite capabilities has led to an increasing demand on the respective attitude control systems. Typically, nanosatellites utilise minaturised reaction wheels for 3-axis stabilisation/manoeuvres, which are desaturated using ...
