      Context: The expansion of space applications and their liberalization is an actual fact since the last decade. Small satellites are developed either by academic institutions and private companies. The concept of femtosatelites, ...
    • Design of a femto-satellite for high-altitude thermospheric studies 

      Moschtaq, Mohammad Raschiq (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-02-12)
      Projecte Final de Màster Oficial
      Accés obert
      This work deals with the design of a femto-satellite for scientific studies. The goal of the femto-satellite is to model the density of the thermosphere by measuring the orbital decay caused by atmospheric drag. The proposed ...
    • Further evidence of the long-term thermospheric density variation using 1U CubeSats

      Faculty members, undergraduate and graduate students of the School of Communication and Aerospace Engineering (Polytechnical University of Catalonia) are participating in a series of studies to determine the thermospheric ...
    • Implementation of a femto-satellite and a mini-launcher for the N Prize 

      Tristancho Martínez, Joshua (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-05-20)
      Projecte Final de Màster Oficial
      Accés obert
      In this Master Thesis we begin with a short analysis of the current space market, with the aim of searching solutions that allow us to implement femto-satellites (that is, satellites with a mass less than 100 grams) and ...
    • Integration of a Camera in the Femtosatellite Design Cycle and Assessment 

      Pallarès Albaladejo, Aina (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-01-31)
      Treball Final de Grau
      Accés obert
      A femtosatellite has a mass between 10 and 100 grams. Current satellites are based on boxes owned by different manufacturers. The consequence of this architecture is an increment of mass due to structures, wiring and ...
    • Magnetic systems for the ADCS of a femtosatellite 

      Cachon Vigil, Manuel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-02-14)
      Projecte Final de Màster Oficial
      Accés obert
      Magnetic attitude control systems are suitable for very small satellites, and yet provide a simple and robust method to detumbling and attitude control. In this work we analyse the use of hard ferromagnetic materials and ...
