    • Laser Beacon Tracking for High-Accuracy Attitude Determination 

      Nguyen, Tam; Cahoy, Kerri (29th Annual AIAA/USU Conference on Small Satellites, 2015-08)
      CubeSat pointing capabilities have greatly improved in the past few years, paving the way for more sophisticated science and technology demonstration missions. Advances in attitude determination have led to the development ...

    • Active Polarimetric Measurements for Identification and Characterization of Space Debris 

      Pasqual, M. C.; Cahoy, K. L. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-06)
      A bench-top polarimeter ( λ = 1064 nm) is used to measure the polarimetric Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) of several common spacecraft materials in both bistatic and monostatic geometries. The Mueller ...

    • Laser-Guide-Star Satellite for Ground-Based Adaptive Optics Imaging of Geosynchronous Satellites 

      Marlow, Weston; Carlton, Ashley; Hyosang, Yoon; Clark, James; Haughwout, Christian; e.a. (Journal of Spacecraft & Rockets, 2017-05)
      In this study, the feasibility and utility of using a maneuverable nanosatellite laser guide star from a geostationary equatorial orbit have been assessed to enable ground-based, adaptive optics imaging of geosynchronous ...
