1. 1. 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.

3. 2. 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.

4. 3. Small Satellite Design for High Sensitivity Magnetic Measurements

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

   Author : Noel Sebastian Janes; [2022]
   Keywords : Magnetic Cleanliness; FORESAIL; CubeSats; High Sensitivity Magnetic Measurements; Small Satellite;

   Abstract : The magnetic cleanliness of a spacecraft during magnetic measurements is an important aspect in the design of many space science missions. The adequate reduction or removal of the spacecraft's magnetic disturbance plays a vital role in allowing the ambient magnetic field to be measured with the required accuracy. READ MORE

5. 4. Magnetic Moment Characterization for Small Satellites

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Alejandro Sans Monguiló; [2021]
   Keywords : small satellite; CubeSat; optical magnetic test bed; magnetic dipole moment characterization; residual magnetic moment; permanent magnet verification; magnetic measurement; Foresail-1; Helmholtz cage;

   Abstract : Small satellites are gaining popularity in a wide range of applications where attitude systems require high precision performance. One of the main sources of errors, in case of magnetic attitude control systems, is the residual magnetic moment (RMM) of the spacecraft. READ MORE

6. 5. Modelling And Simulation of Attitude AndOrbital Control For Foresail-2

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Tushar Sharma; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : A central factor affecting spacecraft lifetime is the radiation environment, which isunpredictable due to an incomplete understanding of plasma dynamics. FORESAIL2 will build on the FORESAIL-1 results – measurements of radiation belt lossesand demonstrate deorbiting in LEO. READ MORE
