It is very challenging to design complex machines and systems that operate in very difficult remote locations, under largely unknown or uncertain conditions. Specifications for such systems must be extremely detailed and extensive, with input from professionals who have designed such systems before, and who gained considerable experience from their operations. Since much of the operating enviro...

Abstract The paper presents the results of development a neutralizer-free high-frequency ion thruster for university nanosatellite propulsion systems which allow it to perform orbit correction tasks. application technologies allows self-neutralization mode and is relevant engines CubeSat format small satellites where size weight system must be as minimal possible. A pair shapes thrusters with d...

Radio waves provide a useful diagnostic tool to investigate the properties of ionosphere because affects transmission and High Frequency (HF) electromagnetic waves. We have conducted transionospheric HF-propagation research campaign with nanosatellite on low-Earth polar orbit EISCAT HF transmitter facility in Troms{\o}, Norway, December 2020. In active measurement, transmitted sinusoidal 7.953 ...

Attitude determination systems based on global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) present several advantages, most of all, for very small satellites. GNSS receivers have low power consumption, limited mass, small volume, and are relatively inexpensive. However, if the attitude information is extracted from the relative position between two or more GNSS antennas placed on the nanosatellite, du...

Abstract The work purpose is the development of BSUIM-1 and BSUIM-2 complexes for training specialists in aerospace industry with used engineering test beds experimental facilities. Two sets nanosatellite models ground stations had developed. They allow testing hardware software onboard equipment payload, simulating operation modes, flight programs, enable students to gain practical skills work...
