Published by the IAF, with permission and released to the IAF to publish in all forms. IAC-11-C3.1.3 PROSPECTS FOR SPACE SOLAR POWER IN EUROPE Leopold Summerer European Space Agency, Advanced Concepts Team, The Netherlands, [email protected] Lionel Jacques European Space Agency, Advanced Concepts Team, The Netherlands, [email protected] In 2002, a phased, multi-year approach to space solar power has been published. Following this plan, several activities have matured the concept and technology further in the following years. Despite substantial advances in key technologies, space solar power remains still at the weak intersections between the space sector and the energy sector. In the 10 years since the development of the European SPS Programme Plan, both, the space and the energy sectors have undergone substantial changes and many key enabling technologies for space solar power have advanced significantly. The present paper attempts to take account of these changes in view to assess how they influence the prospect for space solar power work for Europe. Fresh Look Study as well as the work on a European I INTRODUCTION sail tower concept by Klimke and Seboldt [16], [17]. Based on these results, which re-confirmed the The concept of generating solar power in space and principal technical viability of space solar power transmitting it to Earth to contribute to terrestrial energy concepts, the focus of the first phase of the European systems has received period attention since P. Glaser SPS programme plan has been to enlarge the evaluation published the first engineering approach to it in 1968 scope of space solar power by including expertise from [1].

  • Cluster Keeping Algorithms for the Satellite Swarm Sensor Network Project
    5th Federated and Fractionated Satellite Systems Workshop November 2-3, 2017, ISAE SUPAERO – Toulouse, France Cluster Keeping Algorithms for the Satellite Swarm Sensor Network Project Eviatar Edlerman and Pini Gurfil Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract This paper develops cluster control algorithms for the Satellite Swarm Sensor Network (S3Net) project, whose main aim is to enable fractionation of space-based remote sensing, imaging, and observation satellites. A methodological development of orbit control algorithms is provided, supporting the various use cases of the mission. Emphasis is given on outlining the algorithms structure, information flow, and software implementation. The methodology presented herein enables operation of multiple satellites in coordination, to enable fractionation of space sensors and augmentation of data provided therefrom. 1. INTRODUCTION In the field of earth observation from space, modern approaches show a trend of moving away from the classical single satellite missions, where one satellite includes a complete set of sensors and instruments, towards fractionated and distributed sensor missions, where multiple satellites, possibly carrying different types of sensors, act in a formation or swarm. Such missions promise an increase of imaging quality, an increase of service quality and, in many cases, a decrease of deployment costs for satellites that can become smaller and less complex due to mission requirements. Need for incremental deployment can be caused by funding limitations or issues. Although a combination of funds from different interest groups is possible, it can be difficult to achieve. A higher degree of independence for service providers can be enabled through lower cost satellites that allow integration into satellite swarms.
