REGULUS: A propulsion platform to boost small satellite missions
Marco Manente,Fabio Trezzolani,Mirko Magarotto,Elena Fantino,A. Selmo,Nicolas Bellomo,Elena Toson,Daniele Pavarin +7 more
TL;DR: The REGULUS platform can compensate the effects of atmospheric drag on a 6U CubeSat in a 400 km altitude orbit for years by exploiting the natural drift of the ascending node caused by the second zonal harmonic of the terrestrial gravity field, and can be deployed through several planes in some months employing small fractions of the onboard propellant.

Spacecraft attitude determination and control
TL;DR: In this paper, the first comprehensive presentation of data, theory, and practice in attitude analysis is presented, including orthographic globe projections to eliminate confusion in vector drawings and a presentation of new geometrical procedures for mission analysis and attitude accuracy studies which can eliminate many complex simulations.

Survey of worldwide pico- and nanosatellite missions, distributions and subsystem technology
J. Bouwmeester,Jian Guo +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of publicly known pico-and nanosatellite projects is presented in this article, showing that most subsystem technologies used are rather advanced, except for the attitude control systems and performance characteristics of subsystems that depend on attitude control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of Formation Flying and Constellation Missions Using Nanosatellites
TL;DR: Missions with multiple small satellites can deliver a comparable or greater mission capability than a monolithic satellite, but with significantly enhanced flexibility, adaptability, scalability, evolvability, and maintainability and robustness.
