CubeSats are a class of miniaturized satellites that have become increasingly popular in
academia and among hobbyists due to their short development time and low fabrication …

Antenna is one of the key components onboard small satellites as its design determines the
performance of all the wireless systems including telemetry, tracking and control, high-speed …

Modern small satellites (MSS) are revolutionizing the space industry. They can drastically
reduce the mission cost, and can make access to space more affordable. The relationship …

BIRDS-1 satellites, a constellation of five identical 1U CubeSats, were designed,
manufactured, assembled, integrated, and tested at LASINE Laboratory, Kyutech, Japan …

Abstract Design of a multiband circularly polarized antenna is proposed in this article. The
antenna has a simple and compact form factor by employing single‐feed stacked patch …

In this letter, we present circularly polarized (CP) patch antennas that achieve up to 70%
optical transparency by using a wire-mesh patch and by cutting the same grid pattern …

A CubeSat is a type of miniaturized satellite used primarily by universities for space
exploration and research, typically in low Earth orbits (eg sun-synchronous). The design …

Multi-platform swarm/cluster missions are an attractive prospect for improved science return
as they provide a natural capability for temporal, spatial and signal separation with further …

This paper explores concepts for a wideband deployable antenna suitable for small
satellites. The general approach taken was to closely couple antenna theory and structural …

Small satellite technology has opened a new era in aerospace engineering by decreasing
space mission costs, without greatly reducing the performance. The concept of formation …
