1) Rapid autonomous commissioning – It is planned to demonstrate advanced autonomous commissioning techniques, including new attitude determination and control and detumble technologies. SRP, as described above, is among the potential propellantless-propulsion approaches. ANTELSAT Brochure http://iie.fing.edu.uy/investigacion/grupos/lai/files/ ANTELSAT_brochure_2012W01.pdf. The cube is slated for a 2013 launch. The attitude determination and control subsystem (ADCS) is used to change direction and altitude of the spacecraft. Attitude Determination and Control team members (from left) Brady Russell, Lee Clement, and Joshua Hernandez verify control algorithms for the spacecraft using their custom Matlab simulator. The functions of a regular satellite would be partitioned in a System F6 model, with the power, receiver, control, computing, payload functionality and ground communication capabilities housed in separate modules. A spacecraft system comprises various subsystems, dependent upon mission profile. - Active 3-axis control via magnetorquers. ANTELSAT is a 2U CubeSat class satellite with a 70 cm SSTV downlink and amateur radio AX.25 Digipeater that is planning a Yasny Dnepr launch in 2013.It has been developed by ANTEL (the national telecom 2 redundant transmitters. FASTRAC, which stands for Formation Autonomy Spacecraft with Thrust, Relnav, Attitude and Crosslink, is a pair of nanosatellites conceived, designed and built completely by aerospace graduate and undergraduate students. ^ A computational tool was developed The global distribution optimization strategy determines component-face pairs for multi-sided satellites, which achieve a more balanced distribution of heat flux. Attitude control: - Attitude determination via magnetometer and photodetectors. While hot- and cold-case design orbits for traditional missions are established from a well-defined spacecraft attitude and orientation, robust thermal control subsystem bounding orbit conditions must be based on a broad range of potential orbit definitions. More information about this spacecraft is available from its maker, Surrey Satellite Technology, Ltd. (2) In-orbit approach and inspection – It is planned to demonstrate miniature JPEG imagery, short videos etc.) to be downlinked by other users. The size of two car tires, which will launch from Kodiak Launch Complex in Alaska with the ability to separate from one another and then establish communication with each other to exchange information on location and attitude determination.
