Fractionated satellites: a systems engineering analysis [PDF]
The current method of operating space-based assets involves the design and launch of large, monolithic spacecraft. These spacecraft are not responsive to failures or changes in mission requirements, as both require the launch of a completely new ...

Abstract NASA has led multispectral (≥3 wavelength bands) thermal infrared (TIR) sensor development from the earliest days of the agency. These data are critical in addressing a wide range of scientific questions and administration priories by measuring both temperature (for wildfire and volcanic eruption monitoring, agricultural plant stress, and ...

Spaceborne Autonomous and Ground Based Relative Orbit Control for the TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X Formation [PDF]
TerraSAR-X (TSX) and TanDEM-X (TDX) are two advanced synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites flying in formation. SAR interferometry allows a high resolution imaging of the Earth by processing SAR images obtained from two slightly different orbits. TSX

ABSTRACT Electrical and Computer Engineering (EE/CE) education encompasses the rigorous study of electronic systems, computing architectures, embedded platforms, signal processing and hardware–software integration. Its inherently multidisciplinary nature demands mastery of mathematical modelling and experimental validation skills that pose substantial ...

A GEO‐LEO Imager Data Set for Characterizing Rapid Changes of Global Aerosol Properties
Abstract Aerosols, the ubiquitous small particulates in our atmosphere, have climate, air quality, and/or other impacts far from their original sources. The Dark Target Algorithm (DTA), originally developed for retrieving aerosol properties from satellite imagers in Low‐Earth Orbit (LEO), has been ported to imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit. Using a

Abstract Saturn's ring current, which modulates the global magnetic field configuration, varies dynamically with hot plasma injections. However, quantifying transient magnetic field disturbances remains challenging in the absence of in situ measurements on Saturn's surface.

Statistical Study of Betatron and Fermi Electron Acceleration at Dipolarization Fronts
Abstract Magnetic reconnection jets in Earth's magnetotail are regions of electron heating and acceleration. They are often associated with dipolarization fronts (DFs), which are characterized by sharp increases in the northward magnetic field component Bz ${B}_{z}$.

Abstract Discrete energy bands of ion fluxes, typically organized in velocity with equal separations, have been frequently observed in Jupiter's magnetosphere either in association with Galilean moons or in regions far from their influence. Here, we focus on the latter type and propose that these bands are manifestations of bounce‐phase structuring ...
