ODYSSEUS Space’s Post

Do you what to learn about Space Electronics and Satellite Applications? I’m returning to Space Tech Expo this November joining over 8,000 attendees, 700 exhibitors and 150 speakers in Bremen, Germany, to open the Tech Forum session on the morning of Wednesday 20th November with a 90-minute Keynote Tutorial on, Space Technology : The Journey from System Design to Product Launch to Delivering Satellite Applications. The Tutorial will describe the journey from capturing the customer’s mission requirements, designing the space electronics, choosing parts, building and testing prototypes, qualifying hardware, product launch and then delivering satellite applications. The Tutorial will explain the architecture of smart, AI-enabled payloads and how to choose the right technologies for Telecommunication, Earth-Observation, In-Orbit Servicing, Space-Debris Retrieval and SIGINT applications. Space Tech Expo Europe and USA are the two premier, global Space Technology events, comprising a conference and an exhibition: entry is free, register using the link below and look forward to seeing you at my Tutorial!

Continuous Improvement Despite the fact that the production of our Sunsensors is largely automated, we are always looking at improving the manufacturing effectiveness. Therefore, in order to improve handling and storage (and allow experiments with automated assembly of multiple sensors in a single charge), we are currently developing membrane storage boxes in cooperation with Stellar Space Industries. Last minute modifications as currently implemented by Koen Brouwer are a lot easier to coordinate if the companies are in close proximity as is the case on the NL Space Campus in Noordwijk. At Lens Research & Development we already have a long history cooperating with companies like Lencon, Stellar Space Industries and HDES Service & Engineering BV, but we are looking forward to the expansion of the campus as currently under investigation by Municipality of Noordwijk and Provincie Zuid-Holland. #space #Noordwijk jerre sweers Jan Willem Lucas Berry Sanders Renate Beausoleil Marc Sandelowsky That being said, we presume NSO - Netherlands Space Office and European Space Agency - ESA will contribute to a further expansion as well, and are looking forward to more local capabilities and cooperation in the area of hardware manufacturing and test as this will without doubt strengthen the European space ecosystem (and the Dutch in particular)

📣 📣 We’re thrilled to announce that the 12th Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference and the 18th Signal Processing for Space Communications Workshop will be held from 26 to 28 February 2025 in Sitges, Spain! 📡 Here the link to the conference https://lnkd.in/dj4KAn5B Building on the success of the past editions, also the 2025 conference foresees two separate tracks: - Track A with stronger focus on theoretical advances with relatively low TRL and requiring full paper submission (max 8 pages). Accepted papers in this track will appear in IEEE Xplore ®. - Track B addressing mainly industrial developments with higher level of technological maturity based on extended abstract submission. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Adaptive antennas and MIMO - Distributed beamforming for satellite swarms - Advanced PHY/MAC techniques - SDR-based ground and space components - Flexible, intelligent and reconfigurable payloads for NTN - Network slicing, orchestration and radio resource management - SDN/NFV and network disaggregation - Cloud continuum (e.g. orbital edge computing) - Optical communications (intersatellite links, feeder links, space terminals, ground stations) - Optical transport networks - Ultra-high throughput satellite systems - Massive Internet of Space Things - Mega-Constellations and vLEO/HAPS swarms - Advanced multi-orbit / multi-frequency constellations - 3D networks and enablers for the native unification of TN and NTN (e.g. TN-NTN seamless mobility) - NTN sustainability - Direct to device satellite connectivity - Standardization and regulatory issues - Satellite demonstrations and trials and Proof-of-Concepts - Secure and resilient satellite connectivity - Satellite-augmented vehicular communications - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning applied to satellite communications - Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for satellite communications - Quantum satellite communications   🗓️ Paper submission deadline: 15 November 2024 Sandro Scalise Miguel Ángel Vázquez Oliver Estefanía Recayte Alessandro Vanelli-Coralli Alessandro G.

🚀 Mission Update: Successful Fine Pointing Tests with QUBE 🛰️   ✨ Last week, QUBE’s LEOP reached a significant milestone with fine pointing tests successfully tracking our Ground Station in Würzburg. A few minutes before the overpass, QUBE's ADCS transitioned into fine pointing mode, configuring all necessary sensors, filters, controllers, and actuators. When first contact was established, QUBE was already pointing toward our ground station!   🎉 QUBE maintained its tracking for the entire duration of the overpass without any disturbances. Thus, a critical step in verifying the fine pointing mode was successfully passed.   💻 The collected data are now carefully compared with Hardware-in-the-Loop tests conducted before satellite delivery to calibrate and optimize attitude performance. We're excited to keep pushing forward and continue with LEOP to collect more in-orbit data in upcoming experiments to further optimize the satellite’s performance. #SpaceTechnology #SatelliteTracking #MissionSuccess #QUBE #ADCS #Innovation 🤝  Qube Mission Collaboration This project is the result of a close partnership between Zentrum für Telematik e.V. and several key collaborators, including Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., DLR Institut für Kommunikation und Navigation, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Together, we accumulated the necessary interdisciplinary expertise in an excellent way to advance the frontiers of quantum communication and satellite technology. We also want to extend a special thanks to Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung for their outstanding support in making this mission possible.

Greetings from some MST members in Heidelberg! 👋 Last week, the Medium-Sized Telescope (MST) Technical Coordination Meeting took place in Heidelberg, Germany. The meeting focused on the three main sub-projects: the MST structure and the two cameras, NectarCAM and FlashCam, which will be installed on the MSTs at the CTAO northern and southern arrays. The management and systems engineering teams of these sub-projects came together to tackle open questions about camera-structure interfaces, assembly, integration, verification procedures, and more. It was a very constructive and productive meeting that resulted in a clear action plan to get ready for the first MSTs. Looking forward to seeing these telescopes in action at the sites, capturing the core energy range of the CTAO! ✨ Want to learn more about these telescopes?
