Key Concepts of ITF-1 & ITF-2 Toward Space Education and Outreach For Trans. JSASS Aerospace Tech. Japan Vol. 14, No. ists30, pp. Pu_7-Pu_14, 2016 Key Concepts of ITF-1 & ITF-2 toward Space Education and Outreach for the Benefit of All People By Atsushi YASUDA,1) Hiroki KAMEDA2) and Toshihiro KAMEDA3) 1) College of Physics, School of Science and Engineering, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan 2) College of Engineering Systems, School of Science and Engineering, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan 3) Department of Engineering Mechanics & Energy, Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan (Received July 30th, 2015) Since the effective satellite-based education and outreach methods has not been clarified so far, we researched satellites in the world and their activities in order to extract essential issues from the viewpoints of successful education and outreach. As the results, we found the following three key points are all required for successful space education and outreach with satellites; "No limit type": the satellite everyone can use, "Participation type": the satellite users can participate in its mission, and "Interaction type": the satellite users can interact each other. Furthermore, as the example to fulfill these key points, we introduce CubeSats, ITF-1 and ITF-2 developed by University of Tsukuba YUI Project, with their missions and activities related with space education and outreach. Key Words: Satellite, Education, Outreach, Global mission design, Demand analysis 1. Introduction 2. Research Since the first artificial satellite Sputnik was launched in In order to understand whether space education and 1957, many satellites have been launched by various outreach with CubeSats are familiar, we researched a number organizations around the world. In recent years, satellites have of satellite development groups. After that, we focused on the been developed not only by companies but also by university use of their satellites for space education and outreach, and the laboratories. In particular, CubeSats that have been developed effects of each activity. This research was based on the by universities are used not only for scientific and technical following conditions. missions but also for space education and outreach. However, space education and outreach with CubeSats are (1) Only CubeSats developed by universities around the not familiar to most people because effective methods are not world were targeted.

Student number: 4077334 Project duration: September 1, 2016 – June 1, 2017 Thesis committee: Dr. ir. E. N. Doornbos, TU Delft, supervisor Dr. ir. E. J. O. Schrama, TU Delft ir. K. J. Cowan MBA TU Delft An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Summary Objects in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) experience low levels of drag due to the interaction with the outer layers of Earth’s atmosphere. The atmospheric drag reduces the velocity of the object, resulting in a gradual decrease in altitude. With each decayed kilometer the object enters denser portions of the atmosphere accelerating the orbit decay until eventually the object cannot sustain a stable orbit anymore and either crashes onto Earth’s surface or burns up in its atmosphere. The capability of predicting the time an object stays in orbit, whether that object is space junk or a satellite, allows for an estimate of its orbital lifetime - an estimate satellite op- erators work with to schedule science missions and commercial services, as well as use to prove compliance with international agreements stating no passively controlled object is to orbit in LEO longer than 25 years.

  • Small Satellite Doldrums
    25 Years of Small Satellites AC4/5 MISSION Siegfried Janson The Aerospace Corporation Presented August 9, 2011 © The Aerospace© The Aerospace Corporation Corporation 2010 2011 Microsatellite Launch History: Last 25 years Microsatellite launch rates rose rapidly in the early 1960’s, and peaked in 1965. Non-Strela microsatellite launch rates hit bottom from 1977 to 1987; the “Small 2 Satellite Doldrums”. They’ve recovered over the past 25 years. Nanosatellite Launch History: About 3 nanosatellites were launched per year during the first decade of space exploration. Launch rates hit zero between 1972 to 1989, but stabilized at ~2 per year 3 through 2002. The CubeSat paradigm has enabled a rapid rise in launch rates. Picosatellite Launch History: Only two active picosatellites were flown before 2000. The Stanford Orbiting Picosatellite Automated Launcher (OPAL) ejected 6 picosatellites into orbit, kicking- st 4 off a 21 century return of picosatellites and the CubeSat Era. Small Satellite Launch History: The First 30 years • The 1960’s: Boom and Bust - Small satellite launch rates rapidly increase in early 1960’s as the Space Age unfolds - Small satellite launch rates decrease in latter half of decade as launch vehicle throw weight capability increases and satellites get bigger (on average). • The 1970’s: Soviet Microsatellites Dominate - Strela-1M constellation deployed; it eventually requires over 300 spacecraft - Western small satellite launch rates continue to decline as satellites grow in size • The 1980’s: Small Satellite Doldrums (1977-1987) - No nanosatellites or picosatellites launched - Less than 5 Western microsatellites launched per year - DARPA initiates LightSat program; holds workshop in 1987 - First AIAA/USU Small Satellite Conference in 1987 - “Doldrums” end in 1987 By 1986, the Soviet Union was actively launching military communications microsatellites, but the rest of the world was experiencing a dearth of new small 5 satellites.

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.

  • And Cubesats) Has Come: Analyzing the Numbers
    SSC13-IX-01 The Long-Threatened Flood of University-Class Spacecraft (and CubeSats) Has Come: Analyzing the Numbers Michael Swartwout Saint Louis University 3450 Lindell Boulevard St. Louis, Missouri 63103; (314) 977-8240 [email protected] ABSTRACT We have covered the statistical history of university-class small satellites for nearly a decade, revisiting the numbers every two years. In every previous paper, we have promised/threatened that the number of university-class missions will increase, only to spend the next paper explaining why that flood has not happened – but is definitely going to happen next year. This year, at last, we can break the cycle: the flood of university-class spacecraft has come, in the form of CubeSats; more than 30 are known to be manifested for 2013, with equal (or greater) numbers for 2014. For this paper, we will revise previous studies in two ways: 1) Include the results of the past two years, which will show a continued upward trend in the number of university- class missions, a continued downward trend in the size of the spacecraft, and a not-so-continued dominance of the flagship universities. Have we hit a second turning point in the history of CubeSats, where they switch from novelties to actually-useful missions? (The preliminary answer: maybe.) 2) Expand the study to consider other small spacecraft mission types: specifically the professionally-built CubeSats. We will perform side-by-side comparison of the two. The results will be used in a brave but ultimately naive attempt to predict the next few years in university-class and CubeSat-class flights: numbers, capabilities, and mix of participants.
