Active disturbance rejection control of drag-free satellites considering the effect of micro-propulsion noise

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: The space gravitational wave detection mission requires a super ''static and precise'' scientific experiment environment. In order to solve the non-conservative force disturbance variation and the actuator noise and measurement noise, this paper

Thermospheric Neutral Density Variation During the “SpaceX” Storm: Implications From Physics‐Based Whole Geospace Modeling

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2022
The Starlink satellites launched on 3 February 2022 were lost before they fully arrived in their designated orbits. The loss was attributed to two moderate geomagnetic storms that occurred consecutively on 3–4 February.

Analysis of Orbital Atmospheric Density from QQ-Satellite Precision Orbits Based on GNSS Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Atmospheric drag provides an indirect approach for evaluating atmospheric mass density, which can be derived from the Precise Orbit Determination (POD) of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. A method was developed to estimate nongravitational acceleration,

Global Variations in the Time Delays Between Polar Ionospheric Heating and the Neutral Density Response

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2023
We present results from a study of the time lags between changes in the energy flow into the polar regions and the response of the thermosphere to the heating.

Fuel Optimization for Low Earth Orbit Maintenance [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2008
The resolution of Earth images taken from a satellite has close relation with satellite's altitude. If a satellite has lower altitude, it gets a picture having better resolution.

Thermospheric mass density measurement from precise orbit ephemeris

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2016
Atmospheric drag, which can be inferred from orbit information of low-Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites, provides a direct means of measuring mass density.

Storm time neutral density assimilation in the thermosphere ionosphere with TIDA

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2022
To improve Thermosphere–Ionosphere modeling during disturbed conditions, data assimilation schemes that can account for the large and fast-moving gradients moving through the modeled domain are necessary.

Forecast analysis on satellites that need de-orbit technologies: future scenarios for passive de-orbit devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Propulsion-based de-orbit is a space-proven technology; however, this strategy can strongly limit operational lifetime, as fuel mass is dedicated to the de-orbiting. In addition previous reliability studies have identified the propulsion subsystem as one

Toward Accurate Physics‐Based Specifications of Neutral Density Using GNSS‐Enabled Small Satellites

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2021
Satellite‐atmosphere interactions cause large uncertainties in low‐Earth orbit determination and prediction. Thus, knowledge of and the ability to predict the space environment, most notably thermospheric mass density, are essential for operating ...
