2. 1. Deployment Simulations of a Composite Boom for Small Satellites

   Author : Pau Mallol Parera; Gunnar Tibert; Keith Seffen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; small satellites; deployable structures; high packaging ratio; composites; bi-stable; gravity off-loading system; små satelliter; utfällbara strukturer; kompakt ihoppackning; kompositer; bistabil; tyngdkraftskompenserande system;

   Abstract : The use of small satellites is rapidly growing, especially satellites with masses between 1 and 10 kg and few litres of volume. The main reasons are due to the low development time and cost. Electronics miniaturization and high density integration is enabling the small satellites class to perform more and better tasks and at a lower cost. READ MORE

4. 2. A database of single scattering properties for hydrometeors at microwave and sub-millimetre frequencies

   Author : Robin Nils Ekelund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sub-millimetres; Hydrometeors; microwaves; clouds; single scattering properties; satellites.; remote sensing; water vapour;

   Abstract : Remote sensing observations of hydrometeors (ice or liquid water particles) at microwave and sub-millimetre wavelengths provide important input to numerical weather forecasting through data assimilation and give insight to cloud processes that are relevant for climate prediction. The utilization of such measurements requires information on the single scattering properties (SSP), i. READ MORE

5. 3. Optics for Earth Observation Instruments

   Author : Arvid Hammar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; off-axis; free-form mirrors; measurements; stray light; spline horns; THz; reflector optics; satellites; scientific instruments; diamond turning; tolerancing; telescopes;

   Abstract : The optical system is an essential part of every remote sensing instrument used for detecting electromagnetic waves. Careful design, fabrication and characterization is therefore crucial, especially for satellite-borne missions where the possibility of post-launch repairs is highly limited. READ MORE

6. 4. Antiparticle identification studies for the PAMELA satellite experiment

   Author : Jens Lund; Mark Pearce; Tuneyoshi Kamae; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Space technology; PAMEL; satellites; astroparticle physics; antiparticles; calorimeters; Rymdteknik; Space engineering; Rymdteknik;

   Abstract : The PAMELA satellite experiment will soon be launched and during its 3 year mission perform measurement of charged particle fluxes in the cosmic radiation. PAMELA is specifically designed to identify antiprotons and positrons in the vast background of other charged particles. READ MORE

7. 5. The Anticoincidence System of the PAMELA Satellite Experiment : Design of the data acquisition system and performance studies

   Author : Johan Lundquist; Mark Pearce; Tony Weidberg; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PAMELA; satellites; astroparticle physics; electronics; anticoincidence system; trigger system; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik;

   Abstract : PAMELA is a satellite-borne cosmic ray experiment. Its primary scientific objective is to study the antiproton and positron components of the cosmic radiation. This will be done with unprecedented statistics over a wide energy range (~10MeV to ~100GeV). READ MORE
