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

    Author : Pouyan Azari; [2017]
    Keywords : Orbital mechanics; astrodynamics; small satellites; orbit control;

    Abstract : Cubesats are picosatellites that have a mass of less than 1.3kg and have a shape of acube. As a result of their low cost of development and launch, cubesats are gainingpopularity in industry and academia. These satellites are also a cost-efective way forspace technology demonstrations.

    Abstract : In 1905 Albert Einstein developed the theory of Special Relativity. This theory describes the relation between space and time and revolutionized the understanding of the universe. While the concept is generally accepted new experimental setups are constantly being developed to challenge the theory, but so far no contradictions have been found. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Louise Lindblad; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The preliminary design of Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) algorithms andAttitude and Orbital Control Systems (AOCS) for spacecraft plays an important rolein the planning of a space mission. Many missions require accurate positioning andattitude control to be able to full the mission objectives. READ MORE

  6. 10. Preliminary Mission Analysis and Design for a Small Satellite SWARM

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Noravidhya Tanapura; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The thesis is a preliminary mission analysis and design of a small satellite swarm. The concept of the mission is to probe altitudes between 200 km and 6000 km to study the structures and dynamics of the magnetic field aligned currents. The mission lifetime is about 3 months.
