SATELLITES & CUBESATS

Some satellites orbit in the same direction the planet rotates, which means they get a boost for their launch, but most have orbits where that isn’t ideal, and that creates some challenges for engineers.

After meeting at an expo in Florida, these technology innovators came together to form Team Miles as a privately owned corporation to compete in NASA’s Cube Quest Centennial Challenge. Their innovative, ionic plasma propulsion technology will fly to deep space on Artemis I, the first integrated test flight of NASA’s Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft. Once in space, Team Miles’s goal is to win the Deep Space Derby, a segment in the final phase of the Cube Quest Challenge. To win, teams must demonstrate communications capabilities from a range of at least 4 million kilometers from Earth – more than 10 times the distance to the Moon.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, January 29 at 9:09 a.m. EST, or 14:09 UTC, for its fourth launch of Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Falcon 9’s first stage previously launched Crew Dragon on its first demonstration mission in March 2019 and the RADARSAT Constellation Mission in June 2019. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately 45 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX’s two fairing recovery vessels, “Ms. Tree” and “Ms. Chief,” will attempt to recover the two fairing halves.

As orbit becomes more crowded with satellites, the risk of catastrophic collisions grows. We explore the burgeoning industry of satellite repair: companies hoping to rendezvous with and repair faulty satellites before they cause problems. Or, if need be, knock them out of the sky.

There are over ten thousand satellites in orbit, but only the largest ones in low earth orbit are visible in the hours just after sunset. What would the sky look like if you could see everything in space? I took satellite data and rendered a view of the night sky for an 'average' viewer in North America.

Winners of NASA’s Cube Quest Challenge are preparing their small satellites to launch on the first Artemis mission, aboard NASA’s Space Launch System rocket. Once in space, these three CubeSats will travel to or beyond the Moon to show us what they’re made of, as they take small satellite technology to a new level.

This week Kevin DeBruin, Author of 'To NASA and Beyond', talks about lessons from AeroCube-10, TeamXc at JPL and the use of CubeSats for outreach and education. Do you think CubeSats are the future of space exploration or are they better suited to education/student purposes?

CubeSats have a lot of advantages, but they need a way to move and still stay small, and that means new miniaturized propulsion systems that can help us get these tiny spacecraft out into the universe.

Mars Cube One (MarCO) lead engineer, Andy Klesh, joins us to chat how two tiny CubeSats gave us real-time data from the latest landing on Mars. We talk about what led to naming the spacecraft after the Disney characters Wall-e and Eve, and how both Wall-e and Eve lost contact with Earth just few hours before it was their time to shine.

The KONNECT satellite broadband service is Eutelsat's result of 40 years of satellite experience. Konnect builds new digital roads and provides broadband services even in remote areas, allowing everyone to be connected to the world.

The headlines spoke of 'Rogue SpaceX Satellites' and 'Emergency Course Changes' - but making avoidance maneuvers is a regular occurrence when operating lots of satellites. So what should we make of ESA's twitter thread making a big deal about their decision to avoid a close encounter with Starlink 44?

Fly Your Satellite! is an educational programme for university students, created by ESA after the launch of seven university CubeSats on the 2012 Vega maiden flight. Six teams participated in the first edition of the programme, which concluded in 2016 with the launch of three satellites, while in parallel a pilot edition was undertaken to deploy a satellite from the International Space Station. The second edition of Fly Your Satellite! is currently ongoing since 2017, and participating university teams are advancing closer towards testing and launch. The call for proposals for the third edition is now open.

Watch an exclusive interview with Meir Moalem, CEO & Founder, Sky and Space Global where he say, we started the company a bit more than two years ago. We have three fully working Nano satellites in space, the smallest communication satellites ever built. We're the only Company to use nano satellites for communication purposes. So by 2020 anyone on the equatorial region will have full coverage for instant messaging, Phone call services, machine-to-machine, IoT, which is a growing business and we are part of the new space ecosystem.

EDRS-C, 2nd node of the SpaceDataHighway network has been successfully launched into geostationary orbit by Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana. After a test period, it will double the capacity of this pioneering laser communications system and significantly improve access to Earth Observation imagery. https://www.airbus.com/space/telecommunications-satellites/space-data-highway.html

NASA’s Optical Communications and Sensor Demonstration (OCSD) mission consists of a pair of water-powered cubesats. In this animation, "one spacecraft issued a command to the second to activate its thruster and close the gap between the two," according to NASA's Ames Research Center. -- Converts Water into Steam for Propulsion: https://www.space.com/steam-water-cubesats-dance-in-space.html Credit: NASA's Ames Research Center
