Analysis Of Wireless Networks for Satellite Swarm Missions
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2013Abstract Swarm missions are a promising approach for novel space applications, increasing operational robustness and flexibility. The communication within swarms is one main field of research in the project “BayKoSM - Bayerische Kompetenzen fur Schwarm-Missionen”, which will make contributions to different technological areas of swarm missions ...

Thermospheric densities for the Swarm satellite mission
2021<p>The European Space Agency (ESA) Swarm mission was launched in November 2013 and consists of three identical satellites flying in near-polar orbits. One satellite is flying at about 515 km, while the other two satellites are flying side-by-side at lower altitudes, starting at 480 km altitude and slowly descending due to atmospheric drag

Command and Control of UAV Swarms via Satellite
2018Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are attracting an increasing interest from both the industrial and the research fields, because of the large number of scenarios and applications that they can support. One of the big challenges of the next future is the use of UAV swarms, in order to exploit the advantages that coordinated actions of multiple drones can

Systems engineering challenges for satellite swarms
2011 Aerospace Conference, 2011Satellite swarms are globally controlled clouds of functionally identical satellite elements, cooperating to achieve a primary goal.12 Those elements are relatively simple spacecraft, driven by a simple set of behavioral rules. However, due to their interaction, and the dynamics of the environment, an emergent behavior will be observed.

Satellite Traffic Simulation for RPAS Swarms
2019 IEEE 5th International Conference Actual Problems of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Developments (APUAVD), 2019The continuously growing impact of Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS) on our everyday lives is explained by their rapidly expanding application spheres. In some of those applications several vehicles working synchronously, i.e. RPAS swarm, may provide more benefits in comparison with a single vehicle.

Particle Swarm Optimization of RFM for Georeferencing of Satellite Images
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2013Rational function models (RFMs) provide one of the best methods of extracting spatial information from high-resolution satellite images, particularly when sensor parameters cannot be accessed. RFM terms have no physical meaning, and hence, all of these terms are typically used in conventional solutions.

End-of-life of satellite swarms
2020Satellite swarms offer a high-capability mission architecture with a variety of potential applications in space exploration and discovery. Swarm-based architectures —which comprise multiple agents operating collectively as a distributed system— have been proposed for Earth observation, astronomy, planetary exploration, and heliophysics. Some of the key
