We are pleased to announce that a new #journal article written by our very own Dennis Langer is now available online, to be published in the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Several unique and repeatable satellite maneuvers for extending satellite imaging capabilities are presented in it. They are demonstrated with Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)'s HYPSO-1, a 6U satellite with a hyperspectral imager. The maneuvers include: - Simultaneous pointing and imaging to track geographic features such as rivers - Pointing and on-board classification to downlink information about a target in Norway less than 2 minutes after imaging - Slewing to increase the signal-to-noise ratio over dark targets Check out the early access article at IEEE Xplore: https://lnkd.in/d243Th8z! #cubesats #remotesensing #satops #EO

The HYPSO-mission will observe oceanographic phenomena by using a small satellite with a hyper-spectral camera onboard
Om oss
NTNU SmallSat Lab is host to a variety of space-related projects at NTNU. The first satellite, HYPSO-1, was launched on the Transporter-3 mission in January 2022. The team is also building a second satellite, HYPSO-2. The Hyperspectral Small satellite for Oceanographic observation (HYPSO)-mission will observe oceanographic phenomena by using a small satellite with a hyper-spectral camera onboard. Motivations for employing this approach: Oceanographic phenomena are of great interest to understand more about the effects of climate change and human impact on the world. Traditional Earth-Observation satellites are very expensive and take several years to develop and launch. Dedicated small satellites can be used to provide high spatial resolution within a small field of view to areas of interest with short revisit times. The information from these images can be downloaded and communicated to unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles which can then investigate the areas of interest further using the data from the small satellite. There is currently a team of approximately 30 students and 6 PhDs and 2 Post.Docs. working on this mission. The team changes every year, so over 100 students have worked on the missions since 2017. The team is multidisciplinary, consisting of students from several departments at Mechanical Engineering, and from Department of Electronic Systems and Department of Engineering Cybernetics. This is the first satellite for the students and the first chance to work in a truly multidisciplinary team.

The 10th of February we (the Geminicenter for Small Satellites - with Department of Technology Systems, UiO, SINTEF Digital, SINTEF Ocean and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), together with the Norwegian Space Cluster) host the 7th edition of the Norwegian Microsatellite Forum. This will take place at Skøyen. The main targets are Norwegian industry, academia and governmental actors. We have now opened a call for abstracts over the following topics: Current and future space missions and projects: What is currently happening in the Norwegian microsatellite community? What are the most promising research trends regarding earth observation and monitoring for environmental resource management, security, and other types of space exploration? Enabling technology: Which industrial research and development projects may contribute to flourishing space activity in Norway? What are the industry needs of research and competence building to meet the future demands on space projects – in the short and long term? Highlight how collaboration with research partners? Space project funding: Collaboration between industry and academia: Which form of collaboration could work, what does not fit? We would like perspectives both from large and small companies. How does the programs for centers, individual funded research projects from EU, Research Council, ESA fit your organization? Submit your abstract here: https://lnkd.in/dzpDygx4 Sign-up to the event will be available later. The program will be posted here when ready: https://lnkd.in/diXg6tbj

Visste du at NTNU no har to forskingssatellittar i bane rundt jorda? 🛰️ Denne veka markerte digitaliserings- og forvaltningsminister Karianne Tung overgangen til driftsfasen for NTNUs andre forskingssatellitt, HYPSO-2 som vart skoten opp av SpaceX i midten av august. 🚀 — No tek NTNU det neste steget vidare for Noreg som romfartsnasjon! sa ho i samband med markeringa. 💫 Satellitten, utvikla av NTNU-studentar og forskarar, skal overvake havet med eit avansert hyperspektralt kamera, som gir detaljerte bilete som kan brukast til miljø- og ressursforvaltning. HYPSO-2 kan følgje med på vasskvalitet, algeoppblomstring, og andre viktige havfenomen – og er ein teknologi som kan bidra til å redusere behovet for utsleppsintensive overvåkingsfartøy. 🙌 – Dette er ein bragd av NTNU! sa Frank Udnæs frå Norsk Romsenter, og berømma studentane og forskarane som har gjort suksessen mogleg. 📸 : Skjermdump frå SpaceX. #Havovervåkning #Romforskning #NorskTeknologi

🛰️"HYPSO-2 separation confirmed."🛰️ Congratulations to the team at NTNU SmallSat Lab with another satellite in orbit last Friday! Looking forward to seeing the results. This one is extra special for Håvard Heen Brovold, Torbjørn Vitsø and myself since our bachelor's thesis is actually in space now. Very cool to have contributed to the project!

The hunt for HYPSO-2 was short so far. We have had several contacts from our ground station at Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU) already, and now the operations team at Kongsberg NanoAvionics will conduct the early-operations phase and check out the status of the satellite. Exciting times!!

In preparation for the HYPSO-2 launch very soon, we have now re-launched our web pages! The most complete information (best viewed on a desktop), you will find on the official website NTNU website https://ntnu.edu/smallsat. Here you find information about our satellites, including some example datasets! You can also read about our related research projects. We also have filled https://hypso.space with a bit lighter but detailed, information about the satellites and our projects. This is best viewed on your phone. HYPSO-2 will be launched on the SpaceX transporter-11 mission, from Vandenberg Space Force Base very soon. We will update this space with detailed information when we have it. The image below is a throwback to when the HYPSO-2 instruments were tested last year.

I'm a few days late myself, but congrats to HYPSO-1 and our team!
This #satellite trio is celebrating its 2nd orbit around the Sun today, despite having orbited Earth 10,000+ times. And if Einstein taught us one thing, it's that they just got ~0.03 seconds younger than their Earth-bound FlatSat counterparts. They all launched with SpaceX's Transporter-3 and have been delivering some interesting data ever since. Starting with the biggest of the bunch: 🛰️ ETV-A1, a 16U nanosatellite we manufactured for Sen, has been filming and live-streaming 4K videos of Earth from space, providing everyone with panoramic and close-up views of environmental events going on on our planet. Since the launch, Sen has introduced an open library of videos you can view free of charge on their website or app (iOS only for now), which you can find on their profile. 🛰️ HYPSO-1, a 6U nanosatellite for Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU), has been using its RGB and hyperspectral imagers to monitor the health of our oceans, seas, and freshwater reserves by detecting algal blooms and their migration. Since its launch, HYPSO-1 has collected thousands of data sets around the globe, and the NTNU research team plans to make their data library publicly available very soon if that's something you would find helpful. 🛰️ Last but not least, DEWASAT-1, the first of two satellites we have manufactured for Dubai Electricity & Water Authority - DEWA, made them the world's first utility provider to own satellites that improve the operations, maintenance, and planning of electricity and water networks. The ground IoT terminals developed by DEWA's R&D Centre connect sensors from their remote electricity and water assets directly to DEWASAT-1, transmitting data without terrestrial networks. Here's to more fruitful data-gathering years in orbit! #NewSpace #nanosatellites #smallsats Images are courtesy of SpaceX, Sen, NTNU, and DEWA.
