A Cubesat Payload for Exoplanet Detection
The search for undiscovered planets outside the solar system is a scientific topic that is rapidly spreading into the astrophysical and engineering communities. In this framework, the design of an innovative payload to detect exoplanets from a nano-sized space platform, like a 3U cubesat, is presented. The selected detection method is photometric transit, and the payload aims to detect flux dec...
متن کاملBand-monitoring Payload for a CubeSat Satellite
During changing sun activity, the ionosphere is responding accordingly and therefore it is interesting to observe the propagation behavior of shortwave bands. For the above mentioned purpose we have designed a bandmonitoring payload for an experimental CubeSat satellite. The payload consists of a receiver, which is able to receive SSB modulated narrowband signals in 28 MHz uplink band, and a tr...
متن کاملPayload characterization for CubeSat demonstration of MEMS deformable mirrors
Coronagraphic space telescopes require wavefront control systems for high-contrast imaging applications such as exoplanet direct imaging. High-actuator-count MEMS deformable mirrors (DM) are a key element of these wavefront control systems yet have not been flown in space long enough to characterize their on-orbit performance. The MEMS Deformable Mirror CubeSat Testbed is a conceptual nanosatel...
متن کاملOnboard Autonomy on the Intelligent Payload EXperiment (IPEX) Cubesat Mission: A pathfinder for the proposed HyspIRI Mission Intelligent Payload Module
The Intelligent Payload Experiment (IPEX) is a cubesat that successfully launched in December 2013 and is currently flight validating autonomous operations for onboard instrument processing and product generation for the Intelligent Payload Module (IPM) of the Hyperspectral Infra-red Imager (HyspIRI) mission concept. We first describe the ground and flight operations concept for HyspIRI IPM ope...
متن کاملExoplanetsat: High Precision Photometry for Exoplanet Transit Detections in a 3u Cubesat
ExoplanetSat is a 3U CubeSat which will detect transiting “superEarth” exoplanets around bright, nearby sun-like stars. The ExoplanetSat prototype will focus on stars with low-mass planets (discovered by radial velocity planetfinding surveys)—planets which are not yet known to transit. No other current ground or space-based mission is capable of observing these systems, one star at at a time, o...
