Cubesat Astronomy Mission Modeling Using The Horizon Simulation Framework, Alexander W. Johnson
Cubesat Astronomy Mission Modeling Using The Horizon Simulation Framework, Alexander W. Johnson
Master's Theses
The CubeSat Astronomy Network is a proposed system of multiple CubeSat spacecraft capable of performing follow-up observations of astronomical targets of interest. The system is intended to serve as a space-borne platform that can complement existing systems utilized for astronomical research by undergraduate and high school students. Much research and development work has been performed to develop model-based system engineering methodologies and products for CubeSat missions, including the Horizon Simulation Framework. The Horizon Simulation Framework enables the development of system models using the Extended Markup Language (XML), and its simulation program can generate system simulations over model-specified timespans.
