After DART: Using the first full-scale test of a kinetic impactor to inform a future planetary defense mission
Thomas S. Statler, Sabina D. Raducan, Olivier S. Barnouin +38
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is the first full-scale test of an asteroid deflection technology. Results from the hypervelocity kinetic impact and Earth-based obse…
CUSP: a two cubesats constellation for Space Weather and solar flares X-ray polarimetry
Sergio Fabiani, Ilaria Baffo, Sergio Bonomo +25
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) project aims to develop a constellation of two CubeSats orbiting the Earth to measure the linear polarisation of solar flares in the hard X-ray…
Two-Leg Deep Space Relay Architectures: Performance, Challenges, and Perspectives
Dario Modenini, Alfredo Locarini, Lorenzo Valentini +6
In this paper, architectures for interplanetary communications that feature the use of a data relay are investigated. In the considered "two-leg" architecture, a spacecraft orbitin…
Deep Learning for Real Time Satellite Pose Estimation on Low Power Edge TPU
Alessandro Lotti, Dario Modenini, Paolo Tortora +2
Pose estimation of an uncooperative space resident object is a key asset towards autonomy in close proximity operations. In this context monocular cameras are a valuable solution b…
