A tri-static ground-based laser ranging method for precise satellite attitude determination Open
The ability to accurately determine the rotation rate and spin axis of active satellites during deployment, during phases of uncertain operations (e.g. loss of control, potential fuel leaks) and particularly for defunct satellites to asses…

High precision automated alignment procedure for two-mirror telescopes Open
A significant challenge in the production of Earth observation satellites is the precise alignment of the telescope optical components. We have developed a strategy to perform automated alignment of two-mirror telescopes for use in a reali…

A novel deployable telescope to facilitate a low-cost <1m GSD video rapid-revisit small satellite constellation Open
The multi-billion dollar Earth observation applications market continues to demand better spatial and temporal resolution; simply put, this means bigger apertures and more satellites. This paper describes a novel deployable telescope that …
