Medsat: A Small Satellite For Malaria Early Warning And Control, James Slawski, John Vesecky, Byron Wood, James Lawless Aug 1991

Medsat: A Small Satellite For Malaria Early Warning And Control, James Slawski, John Vesecky, Byron Wood, James Lawless

Small Satellite Conference

This paper presents the design for a low cost, light satellite used to aid in the control of vector-borne diseases like malaria. The 340 kg satellite contains both a synthetic aperture radar and a visual/infrared multispectral scanner for remotely sensing the region of interest. Most of the design incorporates well established technology, but innovative features include the Pegasus launch vehicle, low mass and volume SAR and VIS/IR sensors, integrated design, low power SAR operation, microprocessor power system control, and advanced data compression and storage. This paper describes the main design considerations of the project which include, the remote sensing task, …

To The Moon From A B-52: Robotic Lunar Exploration Using The Pegasus Winged Rocket And Ballistic Lunar Capture, Edward Belbruno, Rex Ridenoure, Jaime Fernandez Aug 1991

To The Moon From A B-52: Robotic Lunar Exploration Using The Pegasus Winged Rocket And Ballistic Lunar Capture, Edward Belbruno, Rex Ridenoure, Jaime Fernandez

Small Satellite Conference

A subset of the presently-defined NASA robotic lunar exploration objectives may be achievable with a new mission architecture involving the Pegasus winged rocket, small satellites, and a new class of Earth-Moon trajectories incorporating ballistic lunar capture. Enabling this potentially low-cost method of lunar exploration - perhaps for a few tens of millions of dollars per mission - is the application of the Weak Stability Boundary Theory developed by Belbruno during 1987-89, which leads to ballistic ("maneuverless") Earth-Moon trajectories. On such a path, a spacecraft could be orbited at the Moon for little additional ∆ V (< 50 m/s for minor trajectory correction maneuvers) beyond that supplied by the Pegasus for the initial Earth departure burn, resulting in a significant propellant savings. (Additional maneuvers would then be required to establish a more useful lunar orbit.) The price for this savings is an extended trip time to the Moon of 3-5 months. This type of trajectory is presently being demonstrated for the first time by the Japanese Hiten spacecraft, using an …

Auroral Cluster: A Space Physics Mission For Multiple, Electronically Tethered Small Satellites, J.P. Andrews, J.R. Scherrer, J.H. Waite, J.L. Burch Aug 1991

Auroral Cluster: A Space Physics Mission For Multiple, Electronically Tethered Small Satellites, J.P. Andrews, J.R. Scherrer, J.H. Waite, J.L. Burch

Small Satellite Conference

Auroral Cluster is a space physics mission that has been identified by the NASA Space Physics Strategic Implementation Study as a candidate for flight in the next decade. Auroral Cluster will employ multiple spacecraft outfitted with similar complements of science instruments allowing simultaneous multipoint plasma measurements in the Earth's auroral regions. Co-orbiting small satellites (mass < 400 kg each) that are electronically "tethered" to share distributed spacecraft systems represent an efficient approach for achieving the science goals of the Auroral Cluster mission. Multisatellite missions represent a new trend in gathering space science data and pose many new and difficult challenges for the space systems engineer. The results of an Auroral Cluster feasibility study, which discusses a variety of mission trade-offs, are presented. A discussion of the science background and mission goals is used to identify the technical drivers for the design of the multiple spacecraft system. A mission plan and some considerations for a Auroral Cluster satellite design are presented. Special consideration is given to the spacecraft subsystems that will allow the system to be operated as a network of electronically tethered interdependent small satellites. These subsystems include attitude determination, spatial separation knowledge and control, data storage, and intersatellite communication.

Small Spacecraft Activities At Jpl, Ross Jones

Small Satellite Conference

This paper presents a brief technical description of some of the small spacecraft concepts prepared by JPL for various sponsors. Some of JPL's work in microspacecraft is presented. The paper contains brief technical descriptions of the following four small spacecraft conceptual designs: 1) Lunar GAS, 2) Polar Mesoscale Explorer, 3) DARPA SHF and 4) Discovery. Since 1986, JPL has studied more than 10 small spacecraft including those to be presented here.

Paferm: The Ulisses Particles And Fields Environment Reference Mission, A. Ginati, J. Beeck, H. Kunow Aug 1991

Paferm: The Ulisses Particles And Fields Environment Reference Mission, A. Ginati, J. Beeck, H. Kunow

Small Satellite Conference

The paper discusses a small satellite mission that was proposed to the European Space Agency (ESA) and to the German Space Agency (DARA). The idea is to support the Ulysses mission by conducting reference measurements in the ecliptic plane, particularly during the time periods of Ulysses' polar passages. The scientific objectives, the instrumentation and the impact on the Ulysses mission are discussed. The mission scenario is described, the mission constraints are given, and a preliminary spacecraft concept is shown.
