This is a COSPAR roadmap to advance the frontiers of science through innovation and
international collaboration using small satellites. The world of small satellites is evolving …

Formation flying missions have increased their importance thanks to the better performances
that can be achieved with a distributed system of satellites. One of the most demanding …

The use of active illumination on CubeSats allows tracking of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites
during Earth eclipse with simple ground-based instruments. Position, attitude, and telemetry …

THE concept of satellite formation flying has been extensively studied, particularly in terms of
dynamics modeling [1] and guidance, navigation, and control [2]. The formation flying is a …

This paper answers how multiple satellites are seen from the ground. This question is
inspired by space-advertising, a public exhibition in the night sky using a dot matrix of …

This work presents the design and performance analysis of attitude determination algorithms
for CubeSats that fuse rate gyros with a single vector measurement using a sensor set …

This thesis examines CubeSat attitude determination using the Earth's magnetic field (EMF)
vector aiding a low-cost IMU. CubeSats provide relatively cost-effective methods of …

The use of space‐based Automatic Dependent Surveillance‐Broadcast (ADS‐B) receivers
to extend aircraft surveillance beyond line‐of‐sight communication has been discussed …

As a commercial aerospace education satellite,“Ladybeetle-I” has flashed many times
around the world, which has attracted the attention of many astronomers. This manuscript …

The increasing demand for versatility and accuracy in CubeSat mission's tasks has fostered
