Direct Data Distribution from Low-Earth Orbit
NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC) is developing the space and ground segnumt technologies necessary to demonsUa_ a direct data distribution (D 3) system for use in space-to-ground communication links fzom spa_r_ in low-Earthorbit (LEO) to strategically located tracking ground terminals. The key space segment technologies include a K-band (19 GHz) MMICbased transmit phased array antem_ and a mul...
متن کاملPrecise Orbit Determination for Low Earth Orbit Satellites
The precise orbit determination problem is to accurately determine the position and velocity vectors of an orbiting satellite. In this paper we review the general contents of the orbit determination process, with particular emphasis on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The different orbit determination approaches and the different force models contained within are briefly discussed. The two mai...
متن کاملA CubeSat-Based Optical Communication Network for Low Earth Orbit
A common challenge in developing small-satellite-based Earth-observation (EO) missions is getting the data to the ground. Typically, most satellites download data via space-to-ground radio-frequency (RF) links, communicating directly with fixed ground stations as the satellites fly within range. For many next-generation EO missions, such as hyperspectral imaging or SAR missions, the volume of d...
متن کاملNew Approach to Multiple Data Association for Initial Orbit Determination Using Optical Observations
The proposed approach aims to develop a new method of forming and processing of multiple hypotheses for initial orbit determination using optical observations. This method allows us to generalize the existing 2-dimensional flat constrained admissible region (CAR) to a unique 3-dimensional (3D) manifold of points corresponding to the pairs of observed right ascension and declination. Another adv...
متن کامل(Preprint) AAS 14-204 INITIAL ORBIT DETERMINATION, DATA ASSOCIATION, AND ADMISSIBLE REGIONS OF SPACE OBJECTS USING MAGNETOMETERS
Magnetometer-based detection and characterization of space objects is motivated and challenges are discussed. Observable constants of motion with and without charge screening are derived in detail. Batch filtering methods are proposed to estimate the observable space object states. A novel application of orbit and detection constraints is used to generate admissible region boundaries for unobse...
