Deployable Reflectors for Small Satellites
A key limitation for future Small Satellite communications and radar missions will be available antenna reflector aperture. Two types of reflectors are dominant for satellite RF systems today, rigid, single-piece reflectors and deployable mesh reflectors. Single-piece reflectors are limited to the aperture that fits inside a launch vehicle without packaging the reflective surface. Mesh reflecto...
متن کاملA Space Weather Forecasting System with Multiple Satellites Based on a Self-Recognizing Network
This paper proposes a space weather forecasting system at geostationary orbit for high-energy electron flux (>2 MeV). The forecasting model involves multiple sensors on multiple satellites. The sensors interconnect and evaluate each other to predict future conditions at geostationary orbit. The proposed forecasting model is constructed using a dynamic relational network for sensor diagnosis and ...
متن کاملSpace Weather Support for Communications
Ionospheric variability (space weather) significantly impacts ground and space-based communications. In essence, the electrically charged particles of the ionosphere (i.e., the partially ionized portion of the atmosphere starting at about 40 nautical miles (nm) above the Earth's surface) can attenuate, totally absorb, reflect, change direction of propagation, and change the phase and amplitude ...
متن کاملResearch Environment and Information Service of the Space Weather Cloud
For researches and information services of space weather, it is important to establish a comprehensive system which enables us to analyze observation and simulation data in an integrated manner. For this, we constructed recently a new computing environment called the “Space Weather Cloud Computing System” of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). Now, the Sp...
متن کاملRight-sizing Small Satellites
Spacecraft standardization has been a topic of great debate within the space community. This paper intends to be a provocative thought piece asking one fundamental question: “is there a ‘right size’ for small satellites?” In order to answer this question, we propose three top-down design factors for the space systems engineering process: spacecraft utility, mission utility, and optimum cost. Sp...
