Advancing Lunar Communication through Inter-domain Space Networks and Dynamic Orchestration
Selen Gecgel Cetin, Baris Donmez, Gunes Karabulut Kurt
The resurgent era of lunar exploration is defined by a strategic shift from temporary visits to a sustained international and commercial presence, resulting in an unprecedented dem…
Modeling the Doppler Shift in Cislunar Environment with Gaussian Mixture Models
Baris Donmez, Sebastien Loranger, Gunes Karabulut Kurt
This study investigates the RF-based Doppler shift distribution characterization of the Lunar South Pole (LSP) based inter-satellite link (ISL) in varying inclination. Doppler shif…
Extending Cislunar Communication Network Reach Using Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces
Aamer Mohamed Huroon, Baris Donmez, Gunes Karabulut Kurt +1
This study introduces a novel approach to enhance communication networks in the Cislunar space by leveraging Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). Using the ability of RIS to…
Diffraction and Scattering Modeling for Laser Power Beaming in Lunar Environment
Yanni Jiwan-Mercier, BarıŠDönmez, GüneŠKarabulut-Kurt +1
Reliable energy delivery is a critical requirement for long-term lunar missions, particularly in regions with limited solar access, such as polar craters and during extended lunar…
Multi-Orbiter Continuous Lunar Beaming
Baris Donmez, Yanni Jiwan-Mercier, Sebastien Loranger +1
In this work, free-space optics-based continuous wireless power transmission between multiple low lunar orbit satellites and a solar panel on the lunar rover located at the lunar s…
