The First Observations of Moonlit Satellites
Sarah E. Caddy, Stephen E. Catsamas, Michele Trenti +2
Optical Space Domain Awareness (SDA) operations have traditionally relied on Sunlit passes near the terminator, limiting continuous tracking of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. In…
Thermal infrared characterization of spatially unresolved resident space objects: Prospects from analytical two-component modeling
Stephen Catsamas, Sarah Caddy, Michele Trenti +5
In this work we investigate the potential of a thermal infrared (IR) space telescope to remotely characterize the component temperatures of a satellite. With the rapid increase in…
The HERMES (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites) Pathfinder mission
Y. Evangelista, F. Fiore, R. Campana +68
HERMES (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites) Pathfinder is a space-borne mission based on a constellation of six nano-satellites flying in a low-Earth orbit (LEO). The…
Unlocking the Potential of Small Satellites: TheMIS's Active Cooling Technology on the SpIRIT Mission
Miguel Ortiz del Castillo, Clint Therakam, Jack McRobbie +8
The Thermal Management Integrated System (TheMIS) is a key element of the Australia-Italy Space Industry Responsive Intelligent Thermal (SpIRIT) mission, launched in a 510km Polar…
Characterisation of SATCOM Networks for Rapid Message Delivery: Early In-Orbit Results
Robert Mearns, Airlie Chapman, Michele Trenti
Traditional nanosatellite communication links rely on infrequent ground-station access windows. While this is well suited to both payload data and detailed scheduling information,…
SpIRIT Mission: In-Orbit Results and Technology Demonstrations
Michele Trenti, Miguel Ortiz del Castillo, Robert Mearns +13
The Space Industry Responsive Intelligent Thermal (SpIRIT) 6U CubeSat is a mission led by The University of Melbourne in cooperation with the Italian Space Agency. Launched in a 51…
Mitigating Challenges of the Space Environment for Onboard Artificial Intelligence: Design Overview of the Imaging Payload on SpIRIT
Miguel Ortiz del Castillo, Jonathan Morgan, Jack McRobbie +12
Artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous edge computing in space are emerging areas of interest to augment capabilities of nanosatellites, where modern sensors generate orders o…
Spatially resolved direct method metallicity in a high-redshift analogue local galaxy: temperature structure impact on metallicity gradients
Alex J. Cameron, Tiantian Yuan, Michele Trenti +2
We investigate how HII region temperature structure assumptions affect "direct-method" spatially-resolved metallicity observations using multispecies auroral lines in a galaxy from…
Near real-time telecommand solutions for CubeSats: State of the art and applications to the SkyHopper mission
Robert Mearns, Michele Trenti
Cubesats and similarly scaled nano-satellites present significant opportunities for hosting both scientific and commercial payloads for Earth sensing and astronomical observations,…
