Lattice Formation in Space for a Swarm of Pico Satellites [PDF]

, 2008
We present a distributed control strategy that lets a swarm of satellites autonomously form a lattice in orbit around a planet. The system, based on the artificial potential field approach, proposes a novel way to split the artificial field in two main terms: a global artificial field that gathers the satellites around a predefined meeting point, and a

The Swarm Satellite Constellation Application and Research Facility (SCARF) and Swarm data products [PDF]

Earth, Planets and Space, 2013
Swarm, a three-satellite constellation to study the dynamics of the Earth’s magnetic field and its interactions with the Earth system, is expected to be launched in late 2013. The objective of the Swarm mission is to provide the best ever survey of the geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution, in order to gain new insights into the Earth system by ...

Ionospheric plasma irregularities studied with Swarm satellites

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
To study and characterise the ionospheric plasma irregularities at all latitudes, one can employ in-situ measurements by satellites in polar orbits, such as the European Space Agency’s Swarm mission.

Estimation of Ion Temperature in the Upper Ionosphere Along the Swarm Satellite Orbits

Earth and Space Science, 2021
Ion temperature is one of the key parameters that provides insight into the thermal balance of the coupled ionosphere‐thermosphere system. Together with the temperatures of neutral and electron gases, it affects physical and chemical processes and ...

Intelligent Covert Satellite Communication for Military Robot Swarm [PDF]

IEEE Access, 2020
Military robot swarm becomes more and more important for contemporary military application. In order to satisfy sophisticated application scenarios, novel communication architecture for military robot swarm has to be conceived. In this paper, we propose a multi-carrier intelligent covert satellite communication (MCICSC) architecture based on ...

Using Swarm to Detect Total Water Storage Changes in 26 Global Basins (Taking the Amazon Basin, Volga Basin and Zambezi Basin as Examples)

Remote Sensing, 2021
The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite provides time-varying gravity field models that can detect total water storage change (TWSC) from April 2002 to June 2017, and its second-generation satellite, GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO ...

A Community-Based Construct Method for an Inter-Satellite Communication Network of Satellite Swarm

Entropy, 2023
An inter-satellite communication network of satellite swarm (ICNS) is created if the members of a satellite swarm communicate with each other via inter-satellite links (ISLs). ICNS can be constructed using the theory of complex networks. A link community is defined as two satellites between which the ISL has been established. The satellite swarm, whose

A climatological model of the equatorial electrojet based on Swarm satellite magnetic intensity observations

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate
The Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ) is a spatially localized electric current in the ionospheric dynamo region, flowing along the magnetic dip equator at an altitude of about 110 km, mainly on the dayside.
