Telecom Orbiter (MTO) mission, and is an update to the The flight system requirements define the flight system paper presented at last year’s conference. Launched in performance and functionality to the competing system 2009, MTO will provide Mars-to-Earth relay services for contract proposers. NASA missions arriving at Mars between 2010 and 2020, enabling far higher science data return and lowering the A Rendezvous and Autonomous Navigation (RAN) telecom and operations costs for these missions. MTO demonstration has been added. An orbiting sample canister carries an optical communications payload, which will will be released and tracked by the ground using on-board demonstrate downlink bit rates from 1 Mbps up to and cameras. The spacecraft will then rendezvous with the possibly exceeding 30 Mbps. MTO will also demonstrate canister using its autonomous navigation capability, coming the ability to autonomously navigate, and to search for and to within ten meters of (but not capturing) the canister. This rendezvous with an orbiting sample, in preparation for operation demonstrates capabilities that the proposed NASA NASA’s proposed Mars Sample Return Mission. A to-be- Mars Sample Return orbiter will require to capture the Mars defined science instrument will also be carried.

    WORLD SPACECRAFT DIGEST by Jos Heyman 2013 Version: 1 January 2014 © Copyright Jos Heyman The spacecraft are listed, in the first instance, in the order of their International Designation, resulting in, with some exceptions, a date order. Spacecraft which did not receive an International Designation, being those spacecraft which failed to achieve orbit or those which were placed in a sub orbital trajectory, have been inserted in the date order. For each spacecraft the following information is provided: a. International Designation and NORAD number For each spacecraft the International Designation, as allocated by the International Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), has been used as the primary means to identify the spacecraft. This is followed by the NORAD catalogue number which has been assigned to each object in space, including debris etc., in a numerical sequence, rather than a chronoligical sequence. Normally no reference has been made to spent launch vehicles, capsules ejected by the spacecraft or fragments except where such have a unique identification which warrants consideration as a separate spacecraft or in other circumstances which warrants their mention. b. Name The most common name of the spacecraft has been quoted. In some cases, such as for US military spacecraft, the name may have been deduced from published information and may not necessarily be the official name. Alternative names have, however, been mentioned in the description and have also been included in the index. c. Country/International Agency For each spacecraft the name of the country or international agency which owned or had prime responsibility for the spacecraft, or in which the owner resided, has been included.

    PLEASE SEE CORRECTED APPENDIX A IN CORRIGENDUM, JOSS VOL. 6, NO. 3, DECEMBER 2017 Zea, L. et al. (2016): JoSS, Vol. 5, No. 3, pp. 483–511 (Peer-reviewed article available at www.jossonline.com) www.DeepakPublishing.com www. JoSSonline.com A Methodology for CubeSat Mission Selection Luis Zea, Victor Ayerdi, Sergio Argueta, and Antonio Muñoz Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, Guatemala City, Guatemala Abstract Over 400 CubeSats have been launched during the first 13 years of existence of this 10 cm cube-per unit standard. The CubeSat’s flexibility to use commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts and its standardization of in- terfaces have reduced the cost of developing and operating space systems. This is evident by satellite design projects where at least 95 universities and 18 developing countries have been involved. Although most of these initial projects had the sole mission of demonstrating that a space system could be developed and operated in- house, several others had scientific missions on their own. The selection of said mission is not a trivial process, however, as the cost and benefits of different options need to be carefully assessed. To conduct this analysis in a systematic and scholarly fashion, a methodology based on maximizing the benefits while considering program- matic risk and technical feasibility was developed for the current study. Several potential mission categories, which include remote sensing and space-based research, were analyzed for their technical requirements and fea- sibility to be implemented on CubeSats. The methodology helps compare potential missions based on their rele- vance, risk, required resources, and benefits.
