  1. 1. Ageing process analysis of solar panels in graveyard geostationaryorbit for reusability potential

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

    Author : Robin Drevet; [2024]
    Keywords : space debris; Spacecraft Materials; satellite; Space Sustainability; Space Circularity; Space Manufacturing;

    Abstract : The constant growth of space debris and the associated risks force the space community to find solutions to mitigate them. Today the most advanced solutions to dispose of satellites and rocket stages after the end of mission consists of moving them either into a graveyard orbit or towards an atmospheric re-entry ending in the demise of both spacecraft and its materials.

  3. 2. Implementing Total Electron Content in the Grand Unifed Incoherent Scattering Design and Analysis Program for Investigation of Causes to Scintillations

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Samuel Sonesson; [2023]
    Keywords : Total Electron Content; Scintillation; Incoherent Scattering; Ionosphere;

    Abstract : Functionality for calculating and plotting diferent Total Electron Content (TEC) measurements such as Slant Total Electron Content (sTEC), error in sTEC, and VerticalTotal Electron Content (vTEC) was implemented into the data analysis program fromEuropean Incoherent Scattering Scientifc Association (EISCAT), the Grand Unifed Incoherent Scattering Design and Analysis Program (GUISDAP). This utilises a thin-singlelayer model of the ionosphere to convert sTEC into the more analytically useful vTEC. READ MORE

  4. 3. Real Time Navigation Algorithms for LEO Small Satellites using COTS GNSS

    University essay from KTH/Lantmäteri – fastighetsvetenskap och geodesi

    Author : Nathan Groisne; [2023]
    Keywords : PNT; Small Satellite; COTS; GNSS; Navigation; ACS; PNT; små satelliter; COTS; GNSS; navigering; ACS;

    Abstract : Many satellites in LEO use a GNSS-based navigation system, taking advantage of the GNSS constellations in MEO to enhance navigation capabilities. The thesis work focused on developing the software enabling GNSS-based navigation for Hemeria's future small satellites operating in LEO. READ MORE

  5. 4. Deep Neural Networks for Object Detection in Satellite Imagery

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

    Author : Frederik Fritsch; [2023]
    Keywords : Object Detection; Satellite Imagery; Deep Neural Networks; YOLOv8; xView;

    Abstract : With the development of small satellites it has become easier and cheaper to deploy satellites for earth observation from space. While optical sensors capture high-resolution data, this data is traditionally sent to earth for analysis which puts a high constraint on the data link and increases the time for making data based decisions.

  6. 5. 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
