CubETH command and data management system

Lovejoy, Stéphane ; Bianchi, Christophe (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie, 2013.

The Swiss Space Center is involved in a new CubeSat program called CubETH, whose goal is to fly four GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) sensors on a cubesat. The GNSS sensors will be used for orbit determination and if possible also for attituded determination. The Geodesy and Geodynamics lab of the ETHZ is responsible for the payload. EPFL is responsible for the platform. The goal of the...

Inertial platform for cubesat = Plate-forme inertielle pour CubeSat

Van de Winkel, Dries ; Craeynest, Maarten ; Bianchi, Christophe (Dir.) ; Corthay, François (Codir.)

Mémoire de master : Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie, 2009.

The infotronics department of HES-SO Valais is preparing a Master course on high performance signal acquisition and processing. This course will be illustrated with an example linked to a very small satellite, a CubeSat named SwissCube. An Attitude Control and Determination System (ACDS) will be implemented. The goal of this thesis is to realize a demonstrator of a one liter cube levitating in a...
