SWIM is part of the CFOSAT satellite mission payload. It is designed for the measurement of directional ocean wave spectra. It is a Ku-band real-aperture radar with 6 rotating fan-beams pointing near nadir. The main characteristics of the instrument, data, products are presented in this paper, as well as performances estimated from simulations.
This paper presents a new low cost GNSS Software (SW) receiver for Microsatellites. Syrlinks (Bruz, FRANCE) has been chosen by CNES for developing and manufacturing this equipment which should be tested on board the scientific microsatellite named MICROSCOPE that will be launched in 2015. The GNSS receiver under development is a highperformance equipment specially designed and optimized for the needs...
A satellite formation flying mission consists in a set of satellites flying in close configuration whose geometry is accurately measured and controlled. Ultimately this allows making space science using a so called “distributed instrument” on several spacecrafts. Several science missions are envisioned, for example PROBA-3 or Darwin from ESA. These missions require very accurate relative positioning...
With the increase of global satellite navigation systems (GNSS) in a limited number of frequency bands, the current spectrum dedicated to satellite navigation encounters congestion. A possible path to keep modernizing the different GNSS is to find new frequency bands where a satellite radio-navigation service (RNSS) could be provided. This article takes a regulatory approach to identify potential...
