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

Fiber Optic Temperature Sensor for Nanosatellites

2020 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC), 2020
This paper focuses on the design of a temperature sensor for use in a nanosatellite. The system uses a light source whose wavelength can be tuned in a moderate range and a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). The interrogation system incorporates a temperature controller, a laser current controller, and a compact signal processing system.

The Era Of Nanosatellites

2008
Nowadays it is possible to achieve low cost and short production times space missions using satellites with a mass below 10 kg. These small satellites are described as nanosatellites. Current microelectronic technology makes it possible to develop nanosatellites for scientific experiments and relatively complex measurements (as well as for other ...

The CYGNSS nanosatellite constellation hurricane mission

2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012
The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is a spaceborne mission concept focused on tropical cyclone (TC) inner core process studies. CYGNSS attempts to resolve the principle deficiencies with current TC intensity forecasts, which lies in inadequate observations and modeling of the inner core.

The T-Sat1 Nanosatellite Team of Teams

2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing, 2012
Designing complex machines and systems that operate in very difficult remote locations, with largely unknown conditions, is very challenging. Specifications for such systems must be extremely detailed and extensive, with input from professionals who have designed such systems before, and who gained considerable experience from their operations.

Architecture of High Power Nanosatellites

2022
Current CubeSat architecture has been developed “ad hoc” throughout multiple years with main goals of creating mechanically stable, sufficiently lightweight and low-cost structure. From their conception up to the current times, thermal issues in CubeSats have been of little concern due to relatively low power consumption.

Optimization of Fuzzy Attitude Control for Nanosatellites

2018
In this work, the optimization by genetic algorithms of a system based on fuzzy logic for the attitude control of a nanosatellite is performed. The objective of this optimization is to propose different designs of the fuzzy controller depending on the possible operation modes along the whole mission of the satellite, to improve its efficiency and ...
