Orbit design of a swarm for ultra-long wavelength radio interferometry with preliminary swarm and thruster sizing Open
Observing the universe in the Ultra-Long Wavelength (ULW) regime has been called the ‘last frontier in astronomy’—real imaging capabilities here are yet to be achieved. Obtaining an image of the sky in this frequency band can be done by em…

Towards the Use of Commercial-off-the-Shelf Small-Satellite Components for Deep-Space CubeSats: a Feasibility and Performance Analysis Open
The aim of this paper is to assess the feasibility of using currently available commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) small-satellites components in deep-space scenarios, studying their applicability and performance. To evaluate the performances…

Experimental Evaluation of a Green Bi-Propellant Thruster for Small Satellite Applications Open
A bi-propellant thruster system based on the green propellants, nitrous oxide and propane, combines good storage density with specific impulse performance comparable to conventional space storable propellants. The non-toxic and self-pressu…

Swarm Satellites Open
Satellite swarms are a novelty, yet promise to deliver unprecedented robustness and data-collection efficiency. They are so new in fact that even the definition of what a satellite swarm is is disputable, and consequently, the term "swarm"…
