“…Measurements in orbit were done during the radio contacts between the satellite and the ground station in Pilsen (Vertat et al ). For radiation measurements, it means that the conditions are stable from the point of view of altitude and latitude.…”

Radiation resistance monitor on VZLUSAT‐1: Preliminary results

et al. 2018

The technological CubeSat VZLUSAT‐1 was launched in June 2017, and carries a number of scientific and commercial experiments aboard. Several of them are focused on in‐orbit investigation of a novel carbon‐fiber composite developed by the 5 M company; examination of residual liquid evaporation, change of eigenfrequencies of the material due to aging, and shielding abilities against cosmic radiation. The quality of shielding is evaluated from a comparative measurement between three channels with different shielding. Each channel contains a calibrated biased PIN (p‐type, intrinsic, n‐type semiconductor regions) diode as the radiation sensor, which is sensitive to radiation in the 6–80 keV energy range. Preliminary results from the in‐orbit measurements are presented in this paper.

Outgassing monitor on VZLUSAT‐1: Preliminary results

et al. 2018

The first results of an outgassing monitor on board of the first Czech CubeSat launched into Earth's orbit are presented in this paper. VZLUSAT‐1 was launched in June 2017 as a technological satellite and is still operating in the LEO orbit. A newly developed carbon‐fiber‐reinforced plastic, which can be used as a radiation shield, is one of the tested items on board. The amount of outgassing is one of its critical properties for space applications. Water vapor is the largest part of matter outgassed from mounted composites and other components. Thus a novel monitoring device based on several types of humidity sensors was proposed to be used on board of the VZLUSAT‐1 nanosatellite as one of the payloads. This paper presents the responses of these sensors and discusses their applicability in the space environment.

“…Una vez un satélite CubeSat es puesto dentro del espacio orbital para el cual fue diseñado, este entra en varias etapas de estabilización y operación acordes a su misión (Vertat et al, 2018). Durante dichas etapas, y particularmente durante la fase de operación normalizada, los sistemas de telemetría y mando a distancia del satélite, en conjunto con los mismos sistemas del nodo en tierra, juegan un papel importante durante la vida útil del satélite (Díaz y Hernández, 2015).…”

Este articulo muestra la construcción de un modelo de información para el intercambio de datos e información dentro del contexto del desarrollo de sistemas satelitales de tipo CubeSat. Se articulan el desarrollo, procedimiento, descripción, diseño, arquitectura y los resultados que refieren en gran medida a la adopción de dichos lineamientos en un escenario de interoperabilidad tecnológica. De igual manera, se puntualiza la funcionalidad en los esquemas de trasmisión de información de telemetría en satélites académicos. Se tienen en cuenta los lineamientos del Comité Consultivo para Sistemas de Datos Espaciales (CCSDS), en colaboración con la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) y la entidad de Cooperación Europea para la Normalización Espacial (ECSS), las cuales han consolidado múltiples recomendaciones para normalizar la transferencia de información de sistemas espaciales a través de varios procedimientos y mecanismos. Adicionalmente, se consideró el lenguaje de marcado extensivo (XML), junto al formato de intercambio de telemetría y comando (XTCE), en conjunto con el estándar de utilización de paquetes (PUS), la descripción de los servicios de operación de misión (MO) y la capa de abstracción de mensajes (MAL), teniendo en cuenta que sugieren la modularidad y especificidad necesaria para el desarrollo y construcción de sistemas de información en tecnologías satelitales.
