  1. 1. Design of a 2-D Lattice Flower Constellation for Earth observation applying the twin satellite concept

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Julia Martín-Fuertes Brañas; [2023]
    Keywords : 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; number of satellites; number of planes; revisit time; coverage; optimized constellation; target list; twin satellite concept; FreeFlyer; 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; antal satelliter; antal plan; återbesökstid; täckning; optimerad konstellation; mållista; tvilling-satellit-koncept; FreeFlyer;

    Abstract : Events such as forest fires or floods are a danger to our Earth’s environment and the people living in it. The sooner they can be detected, the less damage they can cause. An idea arises: use satellites to monitor the Earth and relay information to prevention and rescue organizations in a very short time, regardless of accessibility from ground. READ MORE

  3. 2. LEO Satellite Connectivity for flying vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jinxuan Chen; [2023]
    Keywords : LEO satellite network; satellite connectivity strategy; Nash-SAC; flying vehicles; LEO:s satellitnät; Strategi för satellitanslutning; Nash-SAC; flygande fordon;

    Abstract : Compared with the terrestrial network (TN), which can only support limited covered areas, satellite communication (SC) can provide global coverage and high survivability in case of an emergency like an earthquake. Especially low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites, as a promising technology, which is integral to achieving the goal of global seamless coverage and reliable communication, catering to 6G’s communication requirements.

  4. 3. Design and Analysis of Non-symmetric Satellite Constellations

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Jomuel Danilo Costales; [2023]
    Keywords : Space; Satellite; Constellation; Coverage; Non-symmetric; Walker; Set Cover problem; Greedy algorithm; Space; Satellit; Constellation; Täckning; Icke-symmetrisk; Walker; Set Cover problem; Greedy algoritm;

    Abstract : Satellite constellation design has been a well-studied problem since the beginning of the space age. In recent years new concepts and approaches tried to solve it with fewer satellites whilst guaranteeing coverage to the areas of interest, whether globally or regionally. READ MORE

  5. 4. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  6. 5. Constellation Optimization using Genetic Algorithm : Combining SAR & Optical Sensors with AI Requirements

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Adrian Pellnäs; [2023]
    Keywords : Satellite Constellation Design; Satellite Constellation Optimization; AI - Artificial Intelligence; Synthetic Apterture Radar; Dual-axis; RegionalCoverage Analysis; Satellitkonstellationsdesign; Optimering av satellitkonstellationer; AI - Artificiell Intelligens; Syntetisk Apertur Radar; Dual-axis; Analys avregional täckning;

    Abstract : With increasing world tensions and improvements of satellites and their sensors, the interest and possibility of using space and satellites for defensive purposes has increased greatly. However, not much research has been conducted into the needs and possibilities of satellite constellations over Sweden, especially using SAR and optical sensors combined with AI object detection.
