Radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensors are one of the fundamental components of the
internet of things that aims at connecting every physical object to the cloud for the exchange …

A Smart Dust is a propellantless femtosatellite, with a characteristic side length of a few
millimeters and a high value of its area-to-mass ratio. It exploits the solar radiation pressure …

Future spacecraft are envisioned as autonomous, miniature, intelligent and massively
distributed systems. At the Surrey Space Centre, a research project is currently under …

Wireless sensor network (WSN) has been used in a wide range of applications in recent
years. However, its use in space applications has yet to receive the same level of attention …

In this paper we investigate key IEEE 802.11 optimization techniques with the aim to adapt
the commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) wireless standard for inter-satellite communication in …

Operations research techniques have been used in the space industry since its infancy, and
various competing methods and codes, with widely varying characteristics, have been used …

This paper is concerned with adapting the IEEE 802.11 protocol for inter-satellite links in
distributed satellite formations for rapid response and disaster monitoring from low Earth …

Space-based networks have long been proposed to support a myriad of both space-based
and terrestrial-based applications. While much research has been done on the individual …

A motion adaptive and the edge-based deinterlacing algorithm is proposed in this paper.
Pixels in a field are divided into two regions: static region and moving region. Inter-field …

This thesis addresses the problem of task allocation in a distributed satellite system. These
spacecraft specialise in different functions, and must collaborate to complete the mission …
