Small optical transponder for small satellites
2010 7th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks & Digital Signal Processing (CSNDSP 2010), 2010Space optical communications from small satellites need to be developed for the high-data-rate communications link to the ground. The requirements for the onboard resources are discussed with respect to the antenna diameter, the mass, and the consumption power.

Small satellite SIGINT payload
Proceedings of the IEEE 2000 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference. NAECON 2000. Engineering Tomorrow (Cat. No.00CH37093), 2002A history of in-orbit operation of fifteen low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites by the Surrey Space Centre has highlighted the usefulness to the civilian market of measuring and analysing the crowded RF spectrum from the LEO perspective. A desirable instrument would be a payload that performs spectral analysis of a wide frequency range rapidly and to a ...

Small satellites for Earth observation — The German small satellite programme
Acta Astronautica, 2000Abstract The German small satellite programme is introduced. The results of a small satellite workshop are presented. All actual German small satellite Earth observation missions are described. New opportunities will open for commercial missions and in the context of the new opportunity missions of ESA's Earth observation envelope programme.

Advances in Space Research, 2001
Abstract The decreasing of weight and dimensions of the new generation of space vehicles — micro- and nanosatellites — allows us to place the sensors of scientific payload on short and simple booms or even on the satellite body. By this the electromagnetic cleanliness (EMC) of these satellites becomes a first priority question.

Modern small satellites projects
Proceedings of International Conference on Satellite Communications. ICSC'94, 2002The advantages of using small satellites in space scientific and technological activity are discussed. These relatively cheap satellites are characterized by a mass from one kilogram up to several hundred kilograms, dimensions under 1 meter and a relatively simple set of scientific and auxiliary equipment.
