Dr Javier Cubas (Instituto Universitario de Microgravedad Ignacio Da Riva, Universidad Politรฉcnica de Madrid)24/09/2018, 10:40Space Science with CubeSats and Small SatsTalk
CubeSat has become a satellite concept with increasing interest for space research and exploration. Key elements of its success have been standardization, easy design and low cost. However, the constraints of space, weight and power represents practical limitations for the scientific instrumentation that can be accommodated limiting the scientific scope that the CubeSat concept can have....

Mr Mansur Tisaev (ESA/ESAC; University of Bristol)24/09/2018, 11:00Space Science with CubeSats and Small SatsTalk
Investigating the polarisation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides us with the opportunity to study the formation of the early universe, in particular it reveals the effect of gravitational waves caused by inflation after the Big Bang. Experiments studying the CMB polarisation use ground and balloon-based polarimeters operating in the millimetre wave range, and these require both...

Mr Daniel Sors Raurell (Open Cosmos)24/09/2018, 11:40Communities, Regulations, and Business ModelsTalk
The idea of simplifying space missions by using CubeSats and CanSats appeared around 20 years ago with the main purpose of making space technologies accessible to a broad audience. Both platforms proved to be a game changer in the space sector up to the point nowadays that anyone can start developing space related missions from home.
The CanSat platform has been used as the perfect...

It is not new that satellite design, component procuration, integration, testing, launch and operation are cost and time demanding. However, during the last decade, the small-satellite concept re-emerged not only as an enabler of smaller and lightweight platforms, but also as a new aerospace paradigm based in a) the adoption of up-to-date consumer technologies, b) rapid development cycles and...

Artur Scholz (LibreCube)24/09/2018, 12:40Communities, Regulations, and Business ModelsTalk
The LibreCube Initiative has the objective to promote and develop open source projects that form modular and space-ready elements, which then can be used for earth and space exploration missions, mainly CubeSat missions. To achieve this, LibreCube is based on three pillars: open source, standardization, and a reference architecture.
While the open source aspect of LibreCube is a very...

Dr Chiara Palla (Imperial College)24/09/2018, 16:00Science Instruments and PayloadsTalk
In situ space weather measurements are currently sparse; this represents an obstacle to further improving our understanding of the Sun-Earth interaction. Constellation missions are ideal as they enable a comprehensive and broader set of magnetic field data at many points simultaneously. A novel approach is to exploit CubeSat platforms, however, on them, mass and power resources are...

Mr Juan Luis Cano Rodrรญguez25/09/2018, 12:00Space Science Data and SoftwareTalk
Nowadays, even though software has a fundamental role in scientific research, the wide majority of scientists is primarily self-taught and received no formal training in software engineering, with often leads to quality and reproducibility problems[1]. The space industry is in a similar situation, with many incident reports describing โvarious aspects of complacency and a discounting or...
