The concept of the OOS of spacecraft can be traced back to the 1960s, when the main focus
was on providing the necessary maintenance to advance the lifetime of spacecraft and …

All devices designed to be used in space must be thoroughly tested in relevant conditions.
For several classes of devices the reduced gravity conditions are the key factor. In early …

Earth orbiting satellites come in a wide range of shapes and sizes to meet a diverse variety
of uses and applications. Large satellites with masses over 1000 kg support high-resolution …

SMALL satellites are enabling multisatellite missions that were not otherwise possible
because of their small size and modular nature [1]. Multiple small satellites can be flown …

In many types of space mission there is a constant desire for larger and larger instrument
apertures, primarily for the purposes of increased resolution or sensitivity. In the Radio …

Clusters, constellations, formations, orswarms' of small satellites are fast becoming a way to
perform scientific and technological missions more affordably. As objectives of these …

This one-of-a-kind new resource presents cognitive radio from an antenna design
perspective and introduces the concept of cognitive radio as a protocol that benefits from …

The ongoing evolution in constellation/formation of CubeSats, along with a steadily
increasing number of satellites deployed in lower earth orbit, demands a generic …

Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a key area to realise new software implementations for
adaptive and reconfigurable communication systems without changing any hardware device …

This paper investigates the application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to
plan joint trajectories of the space modular reconfigurable satellite (SMRS). SMRS changes …
