Feasibility Study and Preliminary Design of Lunar Reconnaissance Drone
Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Rodriguez Martinez, Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer
With orbiting stations and ground bases planned to be built, we are yet to master the ability to explore long term and long range over areas of the Moon often characterised by an extreme topography, dauntingly low temperatures, and wedged with what are kno ...
2022On the adjustment, calibration and orientation of drone photogrammetry and laser-scanning
Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat
Centimetre level precision mapping is essential for many applications such as land-use, infrastructure inspection, cultural heritage preservation, and construction site monitoring. However, the acquisition and its preparation (in particular the setting of ...
EPFL2020Correction of CCI cloud data over the Swiss Alps using ground-based radiation measurements
Alexis Berne, Fanny Alexia Jeanneret
The validation of long-term cloud data sets retrieved from satellites is challenging due to their worldwide coverage going back as far as the 1980s. A trustworthy reference cannot be found easily at every location and every time. Mountainous regions presen ...
Copernicus GmbH2018High accuracy GNSS based navigation in GEO
Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano, Paul David Blunt, Endrit Shehaj
Although significant improvements in efficiency and performance of communication satellites have been achieved in the past decades, it is expected that the demand for new platforms in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and for the On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) on the ex ...
Elsevier2017CubeSat quantum communications mission
Quantum communication is a prime space technology application and offers near-term possibilities for long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD) and experimental tests of quantum entanglement. However, there exists considerable developmental risks and sub ...
2017Architecture-based Design: A Satellite On-Board Software Case Study
Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze, Anton Ivanov, Anastasia Mavridou
In this case study, we apply the architecture-based design approach to the control software of the CubETH satellite. Architectures are a means for ensuring global coordination properties and thus, achieving correctness of complex systems by construction. T ...
