ELECTRON KICK STAGE R/B

Informationen über ELECTRON KICK STAGE R/B

Correlating state-of-health information from the spacecraft with space weather in low Earth orbit (LEO). Consist of five instruments built in-house including: a magnetometer, a Langmuir plasma probe, a dosimeter, a state-of-the-art structural health monitor and an electrical health monitor.

ELROI, the Extremely Low Resource Optical Identifier, is a new concept that can provide a self-powered satellite
identification beacon in a package the size of a thick postage stamp. Its small size, low cost, and fully autonomous
operation make it usable by all space objects, including CubeSats and inert debris objects. The beacon?s signal is received on the ground using a small telescope equipped with a photon-counting detector which can unambiguously determine the satellite identification number during a single pass overhead. Additional information can be included in the signal to aid in anomaly diagnosis and resolution, further improving spaceflight reliability and safety.
