  3. 2. Thermal environment and design considerations of the Foresail-2 satellite mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Deepa Anantha Raman; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; thermal control; radiation; heat transfer; boom;

    Abstract : The thermal design of small satellite missions is critical for ensuring the performance and longevity of onboard instruments. This thesis focuses on the thermal design of Foresail-2, a 6U CubeSat mission to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), specifically addressing the thermal challenges associated with the magnetometer located at the end of a long boom featured on the satellite.

  4. 3. Radiation Shielding Simulations for Small Satellites on Geostationary Transfer Orbit

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Anton Fetzer; [2022]
    Keywords : GTO; Foresail-2; CubeSat; Radiation Shielding; Geant4; Radiation Belts; GTO; Foresail-2; CubeSat; säteilysuojaus; Geant4; säteilyvyöhyke;

    Abstract : The emergence of small and affordable satellites has led to rapid growth in the number of launched satellites over the past two decades. To save costs, small satellites often use mass-produced electronic components not explicitly designed for the radiation environment of space, which reduces reliability and makes them unsuitable for higher orbits.

  5. 4. Design of a variable focal length optics for a SWIR Earth observation camera

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Sergio David Díaz Martínez; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of a preliminary design study of a variable focal length optics for a SWIREarth observation camera which is planned to be placed inside a 6U Cubesat. After thesuccess of DRAGO instrument consisting on a SWIR camera onboard a Cubesat, which hasbeen recently launched (January 2021), the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands(IAC) began this project with the intention of adding zoom optics to SWIR space imagingsystems.

  6. 5. FORESAIL-2 AOCS Trade Studies and Design

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Guillaume Le Bonhomme; [2020]
    Keywords : space engineering; CubeSat; ADCS; AOCS; spacecraft subystems; nanosatellite;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to design a reliable CubeSat platform, including the avionic subsystems that can sustain a high radiation environment for a mission having a lifetime of at least six months. The science instruments put stringent requirements on the platform to achieve and maintain the desired spin rate. READ MORE
