PASO -- Astronomy and Space Situational Awareness in a Dark Sky Destination
Domingos Barbosa, Bruno Coelho, Miguel Bergano +17
The Pampilhosa da Serra Space Observatory (PASO) is located in the center of the continental Portuguese territory, in the heart of a certified Dark Sky destination by the Starlight…
Tangent Velocity constraint for orbital maneuvers with Theory of Functional Connections
A. K. de Almeida, T. Vaillant, V. M. de Oliveira +9
Maneuvering a spacecraft in the cislunar space is a complex problem, since it is highly perturbed by the gravitational influence of both the Earth and the Moon, and possibly also t…
Theory of Functional Connections and Nelder-Mead optimization methods applied in satellite characterization
Allan Kardec de Almeida Junior, Safwan Aljbaae, Timothée Vaillant +10
The growing population of man-made objects with the build up of mega-constellations not only increases the potential danger to all space vehicles and in-space infrastructures (incl…
Developing a data fusion concept for radar and optical ground based SST station
Bruno Coelho, Domingos Barbosa, Miguel Bergano +4
As part of the Portuguese Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) program, a tracking radar and a double Wide Field of View Telescope system (4.3° x 2.3°) are being installed at the…
ATLAS: Deployment, Control Platform and First RSO Measurements
João Pandeirada, Miguel Bergano, Paulo Marques +4
The ever increasing dependence of modern societies in space based services results in a rising number of objects in orbit which grows the probability of collisions between them. Th…
Cyber-Cosmos: A New Citizen Science Concept in A Dark Sky Destination
Domingos Barbosa, Bruno Coelho, Miguel Bergano +8
Astrotourism and related citizen science activities are becoming a major trend of a sustainable, high-quality tourism segment, core elements to the protection of Dark skies in many…
A Portuguese radar tracking sensor for Space Debris monitoring
João Pandeirada, Miguel Bergano, Paulo Marques +6
The increase in space debris is a threat to space assets, space based-operations and led to a common effort to develop programs for dealing with this increase. As part of the Portu…
Radio astronomy and Space science in Azores: enhancing the Atlantic VLBI infrastructure cluster
Domingos Barbosa, Bruno Coelho, Sonia Antón +10
Radio astronomy and Space Infrastructures in the Azores have a great scientific and industrial interest because they benefit from a unique geographical location in the middle of th…
New SST Optical Sensor of Pampilhosa da Serra: studies on image processing algorithms and multi-filter characterization of Space Debris
Bruno Coelho, Domingos Barbosa, Miguel Bergano +5
As part of the Portuguese Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) System, two new Wide Field of View (2.3deg x 2.3deg) small aperture (30cm) telescopes will be deployed in 2021, at t…
Design of pulsed waveforms for space debris detection with ATLAS
João Pandeirada, Miguel Bergano, Paulo Marques +4
ATLAS is the first Portuguese radar system that aims to detect space debris. The article introduces the system and provides a brief description of its capabilities. The system is c…
Development of the first Portuguese radar tracking sensor for Space Debris
João Pandeirada, Miguel Bergano, João Neves +4
Currently, space debris represents a threat for satellites and space-based operations, both in-orbit and during the launching process. The yearly increase in space debris represent…
