Constellations of small satellites are useful for a number of earth observation and space exploration missions. The Heterogeneous Spacecraft Network project is defining operations concepts and promising technology that can provide greater capability at lower cost. Typically, such spacecraft can communicate with each other in orbit and with ground stations for spacecraft operation and downlink of science...
Heterogeneous Spacecraft Networks (HSNs) are network environments in which spacecraft from different missions and institutions can communicate with each other at low cost and with low impact on overall system resources. The Mission Design Center (MDC) at NASA Ames Research Center has been studying solutions for low cost multi-spacecraft systems for a number of years. One may now build on the idea...
In recent years the Mission Design Center (MDC) at NASA Ames Research Center has been studying mission concepts involving clusters of small spacecraft capable of providing cost-effective solutions in orbit compared to space missions involving only a single larger spacecraft. Low-cost networks of small spacecraft can be a viable alternative to large budget Earth observation or space exploration missions...
In 2012, a 50-kg class satellite called the Small Demonstration Satellite -4(SDS-4) faced a challenging mission of demonstrating a space-based automatic identification system experiment (SPAISE), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), a flat-shaped heat pipe (FHP) and thermal control material (THERME). We conduct the Small Demonstration Satellite (SDS) Program at JAXA, which provides useful standard platforms...
