Therefore, many organizations are entering the space sector due to the paradigm shift caused by nanosatellites. Despite the reduced size of these spacecrafts, their Flight Software (FSW) complexity is not proportional to the satellite volume, thus creating a great barrier for the entrance of new players on the nanosatellite market. On the other side, there are some available frameworks that can provide mature FSW design approaches, implying in considerable reduction in software project timeframe and cost. This paper presents a comparative survey between six relevant fl ight software frameworks, compared according to commonly required ‘New Space’ criteria, and fi nally points out the most suitable one to the VCUB1 reference nanosatellite mission. KEYWORDS: Flight Software, On-Board Software, NASA cFS, New Space. INTRODUCTION Flight Soft ware (FSW) is soft ware that runs on a processor embedded in a spacecraft ’s avionics. -

On the Verge of an Astronomy Cubesat Revolution
On the Verge of an Astronomy CubeSat Revolution Evgenya L. Shkolnik Abstract CubeSats are small satellites built in standard sizes and form fac- tors, which have been growing in popularity but have thus far been largely ignored within the field of astronomy. When deployed as space-based tele- scopes, they enable science experiments not possible with existing or planned large space missions, filling several key gaps in astronomical research. Unlike expensive and highly sought-after space telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), whose time must be shared among many instruments and science programs, CubeSats can monitor sources for weeks or months at time, and at wavelengths not accessible from the ground such as the ultraviolet (UV), far-infrared (far-IR) and low-frequency radio. Science cases for Cube- Sats being developed now include a wide variety of astrophysical experiments, including exoplanets, stars, black holes and radio transients. Achieving high- impact astronomical research with CubeSats is becoming increasingly feasible with advances in technologies such as precision pointing, compact sensitive detectors, and the miniaturisation of propulsion systems if needed. CubeSats may also pair with the large space- and ground-based telescopes to provide complementary data to better explain the physical processes observed. A Disruptive & Complementary Innovation Fifty years ago, in December 1968, National Aeronautics and Space Admin- istration (NASA) put in orbit the first satellite for space observations, the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2. Since then, astronomical observation from space has always been the domain of big players. Space telescopes are arXiv:1809.00667v1 [astro-ph.IM] 3 Sep 2018 usually designed, built, launched and managed by government space agencies such as NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace School of Earth and Space Exploration; Interplanetary Initiative { Arizona State Univer- sity, Tempe, AZ 85287. -

These recommendations having come from the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence with an aim to reduce dependence on foreign vendors need thorough exercise and planning. These objectives, though not possible to be achieved in the short run, however, can progressively pave way for defence related requirements being met indigenously. Private and Public sectors needed to work together as less dependence on foreign sellers meant massive research and investments in the country. Dependence on foreign sellers has often proved full of hassles and delays and not enough procurement from our own sources has added to the problems. It shall definitely prove economically and militarily favourable if procurement were made from indigenous available sources besides the same giving a chance to home sector to develop and expand. Collaboration with foreign manufacturers by the Indian private firms would provide a level playing field in manufacturing and providing items required for our defence needs.

Picsat: a Cubesat Mission for Exoplanetary Transit Detection in 2017
SSC17-III-09 PicSat: a Cubesat mission for exoplanetary transit detection in 2017 V. Lapeyrere, S. Lacour, L. David, M. Nowak, A. Crouzier, G. Schworer, P. Perrot, S. Rayane LESIA, Observatoire de Paris, PSL Research University, CNRS, Sorbonne Universités, UPMC Univ. Paris 06, Univ. Paris Diderot, Sorbonne Paris Cité 5 place Jules Jansen, 92195 Meudon; [email protected] ABSTRACT The PicSat mission is based on a 3U Cubesat architecture, with a payload specifically designed for high precision stellar photometry. The satellite is planned to be launched in September 2017. The main objective of the mission is the continuous monitoring of the brightness of Beta Pictoris. The Hill Sphere of planet Beta Pictoris b shall pass in front of its host during this period (from April 2017 to February 2018). To be ready on time for this rendez-vous, our philosophy was to focus our resources on the development of the payload and the flight software, where we have the expertise. We subcontracted the design and the realization of the platform and of the Attitude and Determination Control System. The payload is designed with a 37mm effective aperture and a single pixel avalanche photodiode. A single-mode fiber is used to guide the stellar light from the focal plane to the photodiode. To guarantee photometric precision and payload stabilization, the residual jitter of the three-axis ADCS is complemented with a two-axis piezoelectric actuation system that locks the position of the fiber on the center of the star. The flight software is based on a "L0/L1" dual-level architecture, making use of Gericos, an active object framework developed in-house.
