Nanosatellites have established their importance in low-Earth orbit (LEO), and it is common
for student teams to build them for educational and technology demonstration purposes. The …

Abstract The Electric Solar Wind Sail (E-sail) is a propellantless propulsion system for deep
space navigation that exploits the dynamic pressure of the solar wind to generate thrust …

This article presents the development of an anti-windup (AW) compensator architecture for
nanosatellite systems. The design addresses the problem of fault-tolerant control (FTC) for …

Here we present the development and qualification of the highly integrated satellite avionics
stack of ESTCube-2, a three-unit CubeSat carrying various in-orbit demonstration payloads …

This study is aimed at addressing the practical challenges of conducting hardware-in-the-
loop simulation (HILS) for a CubeSat attitude determination and control system (ADCS) with …

This paper presents the design and study of cross product control, Linear-Quadratic
Regulator (LQR) optimal control and high spin rate control algorithms for ESTCube-2/3 …

Given the role of Cubesats in the new space economy, a statistically relevant number of
CubeSats have flown, and considering the high percentage of failed missions, the …

Attitude control for CubeSats and small satellites has been widely researched. Nonetheless,
most of the literature is based on simulations, with limited availability of actual …

The Electric Solar Wind Sail (E-sail) deflects charged particles from the solar wind through
an artificial electric field to generate thrust in interplanetary space. The structure of a …

Implementation of Attitude determination and control system for 1 u cube-sat in polar sun
circular orbit is proposed. ADCS plays an important role in maintaining the orientation …
