Telemetry Fault-Detection Algorithms: Applications for Spacecraft Monitoring and Space Environment Sensing
(2018-05-19)Algorithms have been developed that identify unusual behavior in satellite health telemetry. Telemetry from solid-state power amplifiers and amplifier thermistors from 32 geostationary Earth orbit communications satellites ... -
Active Polarimetric Measurements for Identification and Characterization of Space Debris
(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
(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 ...
