Srl (Group of Astrodynamics for the Use of Space Systems), specialized in the development of satellites that are launcher platforms as well (like the previous satellites UniSat-5 and UniSat-6). The TuPOD is a CubeSat-type of satellite, with dimensions of 10x10x30cm, which will work itself as launch system for smaller satellites, the TubeSats. The TubeSats are a new type of Nanosatellites, cylindrically-shaped, not much bigger than an ordinary beverage can. To date, there wasn’t any launch possibility for this class of small satellites: with the TuPOD project, GAUSS Srl creates a new and affordable launch opportunity for the users of this new type of satellite. The TuPOD hosts two TubeSats onboard: TANCREDO I (Brazil) and OSNSAT (USA). Thanks to this specific kind of deployer – designed and built by GAUSS Srl – a couple of TubeSats are about to be UniSat-6 Platform released into Space for the first time ever. An important milestone for GAUSS Srl and for the whole Italian Aerospace Community. The TuPOD, in the middle, satellite/deployer for TubeSats from GAUSS Srl. On the right and on the left the TubeSats OSNSAT and TANCREDO I.

  • Local Area Network and Data Network for the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite, ADEOS System Kohei Arai
    Local area network and data network for the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite, ADEOS system Kohei Arai '* * Earth Observation Center, National Space Development Agency of Japan Abstract NASDA is planning the next generation of earth observation satellite, following MOS-1, MOS-1b, JER3-1, so called Advanced Earth Observing Satellite, ADEOS. ADEOS will carry Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner, OCTS, Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer, AVNIR and Anouncement Opportunity sensors, AO sensors and will require a quicl< data distribution. Not only direct broadcasting, but also data distribution through a network are usefull for the dissemination of such data. Therefore a data network of which users can access a quicklook image data base in a quasi real time basis is now considered. In order for the preoperational data handling, a local area network is taken into account for an ADEOS ground facility. The processed data are sent to the film recorder through the LAN together with histograms for the generation of look up table for the gamma correction. Key items of the processed data are also transmitted to the information retrieval subsystem for the registration. The aquired quick look data are transmitted to not only the film recorder but also quick look image data base and the information retreival subsystem in a real time basis. The aforementioned ideas and concept for the development of the ADEOS ground facility will be described in the proposed paper. Presented at the ISPRS held in Kyoto, Japan, in July 1988. 1 1 1 ..

  • Aqua: an Earth-Observing Satellite Mission to Examine Water and Other Climate Variables Claire L
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING, VOL. 41, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 2003 173 Aqua: An Earth-Observing Satellite Mission to Examine Water and Other Climate Variables Claire L. Parkinson Abstract—Aqua is a major satellite mission of the Earth Observing System (EOS), an international program centered at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Aqua satellite carries six distinct earth-observing instruments to measure numerous aspects of earth’s atmosphere, land, oceans, biosphere, and cryosphere, with a concentration on water in the earth system. Launched on May 4, 2002, the satellite is in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 705 km, with a track that takes it north across the equator at 1:30 P.M. and south across the equator at 1:30 A.M. All of its earth-observing instruments are operating, and all have the ability to obtain global measurements within two days. The Aqua data will be archived and available to the research community through four Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). Index Terms—Aqua, Earth Observing System (EOS), remote sensing, satellites, water cycle. I. INTRODUCTION AUNCHED IN THE early morning hours of May 4, 2002, L Aqua is a major satellite mission of the Earth Observing System (EOS), an international program for satellite observa- tions of earth, centered at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) [1], [2]. Aqua is the second of the large satellite observatories of the EOS program, essentially a sister satellite to Terra [3], the first of the large EOS observatories, launched in December 1999.

  • X103 H-IIB Launch Vehicle H-IIBロケット
    Outdoor Exhibition Outdoor X103 H-IIB Launch Vehicle H-IIBロケット ■Purpose of Exhibition The domestically produced large rocket "H-IIB" is exhibited in the outdoor exhibition space. Most of this rocket has the same structure as the real rocket and served as a test. You can find the real parts in the chart including the first stage engine section, the first stage fuel tank, the center body section, the interstage adapter and the fairing, which are exhibited in the exhibition. The rest of the parts were made by referring to the actual rocket. When the rocket "H-IIB" is launched, two other main engines and four fixed rocket boosters are attached to the rocket. You can see the inside structure because the tank part is cut off. For making a light but strong rocket, it is manufactured like a honeycomb. For pouring low temperature liquid- hydrogen into the tank, the exterior of the rocket is coated by a thermal material. The rocket which is exhibited is also coated by using the same thermal material. Like this, the rockets were made by using the latest manufacturing technology and design techniques. We would like you to learn the structure of rocket and feel how big it is. ■Additional Knowledge Space Station had succeeded. The Japanese high- launching technology which put the rocket into the planned orbit accurately, and the connecting technology which controlled the HTV delicately and connected to the International Space Station in outer space, has been shown to the world. [The Other Rockets Exhibition in Japan] There are rocket exhibitions in regions where JAXA developed space technology (as of 2010).The Tanegashima Space Center is where the JAXA Research Institute is located in Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture.

  • Successful Mission of Tupod, an Innovative Cubesat, a Tubesats Deployer Manufactured Via Additive Manufacturing by CRP USA Using Windform® XT 2.0 Composite Material
    Successful mission of TuPOD, an innovative CubeSat, a TubeSats deployer manufactured via Additive Manufacturing by CRP USA using Windform® XT 2.0 composite material ABSTRACT Small satellites provide a responsive alternative to larger, more expensive satellites. As demand grows, engineers must adapt these “nanosatellites” or CubeSats to provide new achievements and goals. One of these achievements is deploying TubeSats from International Space Station (ISS). TubeSats are cylindrical shape and are not compatible with normal CubeSats deployer platform (P-POD) on ISS, thus, an innovative nano-satellite, TuPOD (Tubesat-POD), was developed to address the challenge. TuPOD inaugurated a new era for scientists wanting to use small, highly reliable satellites. It is the first complete 3D printed satellite launched from the ISS, made by CRP USA from CRP Technology’s proprietary material Windform® XT 2.0, the ground breaking carbon fiber reinforced composite 3D printing material known for its mechanical properties, developed with CRP USA. (shown in Figure 1) Figure 1: TuPOD deployed © JAXA / NASA OVERVIEW The story of TuPOD began when a group of Brazilian Students needed to launch their TubeSat, TANCREDO-1, from ISS. They approached G.A.U.S.S. Srl (Group of Astrodynamics for the Use of Space Systems), an Italian company with close relationship to the University of Rome, to help them overcoming the challenge of launching their TubeSat from ISS. CRP USA LLC Headquarters Office 127 Goodwin Circle, Mooresville NC 28115 Phone 704-660-0258 GAUSS was faced with the challenge of designing an innovative system to deploy the first TubeSats into orbit that could act as both a satellite and release platform.
