Computational Nanosatellite Constellations

GetMobile: Mobile Computing and Communications, 2021
As rocket launch cadences increase, access to space rises dramatically - setting the stage for the next space industry surge. New, smaller, and less expensive satellites - now "nanosatellites" - can be deployed en masse to form constellations of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of devices [27, 40, 41, 16, 17, 18, 43].

The CanX-2 nanosatellite: Expanding the science abilities of nanosatellites

Acta Astronautica, 2005
Abstract The second Canadian Advanced Nanospace eXperiment (CanX) satellite, CanX-2, aims to support Canadian researchers while expanding the capabilities of nanosatellites. Designed and built at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies’ Space Flight Laboratory (UTIAS/SFL), CanX-2 will include experiments in GPS technologies, earth ...

Reconfigurable Antenna Design for nanosatellites

2012 IEEE First AESS European Conference on Satellite Telecommunications (ESTEL), 2012
Innovative Antenna Design has recently become as one of most vital subsystem of Satellite Communication. In small satellites however, this subsystem is often overlooked, either due to consideration of weight or available space. Using traditional design approach is not feasible and does not offer any significant benefits. With increasing availability of

University Nanosatellite Television Camera

2019 IEEE 39th International Conference on Electronics and Nanotechnology (ELNANO), 2019
In recent years, there is a strong tendency to reduce the size of orbital spacecrafts while preserving their functional capabilities. The modern element base allows to create inexpensive Earth-sensing satellites having the 1U-2U form factor, which is capable to form images of the Earth’s surface with medium spatial resolution.

Nanosatellite Science Applications

2002
The notion of a “nanosat” or satellite in the range of 1 to 10 kg is not new. In fact, some of the very earliest satellites were technically “nanosats”. These were barely functional but did demonstrate that artificial satellites were feasible. Driven by the belief that bigger is better, spacecraft grew larger and larger for the next thirty years ...

Nanosatellite Conceptual Design

2005
Abstract This chapter integrates the information presented earlier by illustrating the fundamentals of the conceptual design of a simplified spacecraft mission. A conceptual design is the initial step in the description of a space system in which the overall mission requirements are defined, the mission is described, a concept of ...
