A FRAMEWORK FOR EMPLOYING FEMTOSATELLITES IN PLANETARY SCIENCE MISSIONS, INCLUDING A PROPOSED MISSION CONCEPT FOR TITAN
Perez, Tracie Renea Conn; 0000-0002-7353-8085 (2017-01-02)Over the past 15 years, there has been a growing interest in femtosatellites, a class of tiny satellites having mass less than 100 grams. Research groups from Peru, Spain, England, Canada, and the United States have proposed ... -
The Configurator: A Novel Approach To Enterprise Configuration Of Complex Software Systems
Wang, Thomas K.Software systems are ubiquitous within aerospace technology. They are essentially the guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) of aircraft and satellites. Software systems are a primary component of satellite ground control ... -
Microwave-based Navigation Of Femtosatellites Using On-off Keying
Kamte, Namrata J. (Aerospace Engineering, 2014-07-14)The objective of this research is to validate that a custom-built microchip-scale satellite transmitting a signal modulated with a Pseudo Random Noise code using On-Off Keying, can be tracked. The weak GPS satellite signal ... -
The Samara Spacecraft: Design And Development Of A Self-stabilizing, Auto-rotating, Distributed Sensing System
Lalloobhai, Amit Desai (Aerospace Engineering, 2013-07-22)The scope of this research is the design and development of a self-stabilizing re-entry vehicle that closely resembles naturally occurring seeds in nature. It was hypothesized that a femto-satellite ...
