The small satellite (SmallSat) industry has recorded incredible growth recently. Within this
class, among mini-, micro-, and nanosatellites, the cube satellite (CubeSat) is primed for an …

The historical failure data of launched spacecraft are very useful to improve the designing
and manufacturing of spacecraft, optimize ground tests and reduce the flight risks of …

The paper presents a Bayesian framework consisting of off-line population degradation
modeling and on-line degradation assessment and residual life prediction for secondary …

Satellites are known as a remotely operated systems with high degree of complexity due to
large number of interconnected devices onboard the satellite. Consequently, it has …

Phased mission systems (PMSs) like satellites and spacecraft perform their functions over
non-overlapping mission periods, called phases. One of the challenges in assessing …

The size and complexity of software in spacecraft is increasing exponentially, and this trend
complicates its validation within the context of the overall spacecraft system. Current …

The satellite power system is one of the core systems to ensure the normal on-orbit
operation of satellite, and is also a representative of typical complex nonlinear systems …

This paper provides results and conclusions on a survey on the implementation and
reliability aspects of CubeSat bus interfaces, with an emphasis on the data bus and power …

An interconnected system (ICS) is a complex industry system with multiple sensors, multiple
tasks, and massive interaction. It is also of great importance for conducting the fault …

This paper attempts to characterize failure behaviour of small satellites through statistical
analysis of actual in-orbit failures. A unique Small Satellite Anomalies Database comprising …
