Small Satellites and CubeSats
- Malgorzata Solyga
Earth observation spacecrafts have seen a great interest and development in the past years and, still nowadays, it is one of the most prominent space markets thanks also to the miniaturization of the satellite platforms that allows to rapidly build constellations. In this presentation, the full development of a smallsats for Earth Observation is shown with a major focus on the thermal aspects....
FENNEC (FoldablE Newspace NextgEneration radiator for CubeSats) is a deployable radiator designed to meet the increasing demand for advanced thermal management systems in CubeSats and other SmallSats.
In the past, despite the typically higher power density of SmallSats compared to larger spacecraft, the external structural surfaces of such platforms have usually been sufficient for thermal...
The CHESS (Constellation of High-Performance Exospheric Science Satellites) mission aims to enhance our understanding of the Earth’s upper atmosphere through direct measurements (species number density, altitude profiles, total electron content, ion population, and dynamics) using two twin 3U CubeSats: Pathfinder 1 & 2. The mission is managed by the student association EPFL Spacecraft Team,...
