  1. 1. Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation of MIST Attitude Determination and Control System

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

    Author : Alejandro Vicario; [2022]
    Keywords : Functional Testing; HIL; FlightSimulations; ADCS; TestManager; TestStand; Satellite subsystems; Funktionell testning; HIL; flygsimuleringar; ADCS; testledare; TestStand; satellitsub system;

    Abstract : The MIST(MIniature Student saTellite) project is a 3U CubeSat developed by student teams at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. One of the fundamental systems of the satellite is the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS), re sponsible for estimating and correcting the satellite’s orientation using magnetic fields and sun sensors.

  3. 2. Characterisation of Satellite Onboard Magnetometer for MIST

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

    Author : Marcus Mhanna; [2022]
    Keywords : Magnetometer calibration; Ellipsoid Fitting; Helmholtz coil;

    Abstract : The most common equipment used for attitude determination in small satellites are magnetometers. However, using magnetometers gives rise to many challenges. One of these challenges is the calibration of the magnetometer. Magnetometer calibration takes many factors into account. READ MORE

  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. 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

  6. 5. Methods to operate and evaluate the performance of a cold-gas CubeSat propulsion system on a magnetically stabilised satellite

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Victor Alberto Gonzalez Marin; [2020]
    Keywords : Propulsion system; CubeSat; Performance; Operating procedure; Mission experiment; Framdrivningssystem; CubeSat; Prestanda; Driftsrutin; Driftprov;

    Abstract : Propulsion systems allow satellites to perform many functionalities in space, such as orbital station keeping, reentry control, attitude control, orbital transferring, rendezvous operation, and even more thrilling, interplanetary travel. Indeed, propulsion systems in satellites have fostered a new favourable era of space exploration and application, therefore, detailed processes to operate propulsion systems need to be developed so that space missions, carrying this valuable system, are completed successfully.
