  1. 1. Attitude Determination and Control System of a CubeSat in Suborbital Flight

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

    Author : Joan Jordi Boldu O Farrill Treviño; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Bistable Boom Dynamic Deployment (B2D2) experiment aims to successfully demonstrate the deployment of a 2 meter self-deployable boom in order to offer an efficient alternative for small satellites to conduct higher quality magnetic field measurements. The boom will be placed in a free falling unit, following the CubeSat standard. READ MORE

  2. 2. Real-Time Visualization of Flight Data for Suborbital Missions

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Johan Berglund; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to systematically develop a tool used for the visualizationof real-time ight data during suborbital mission, on behalf of the Swedish SpaceCorporation. By focusing on requirements, restrictions, and trade-os regarding functionality,communications technologies, geospatial visualization platforms, and manyother aspects, an interactive product visualizing the position, attitude, speed, G-loadsand angular rates of the rockets could be developed, ensuring a visualization as close toreal-time as possible.
