Electronics for a Versatile and Robust Retarding Potential Analyzer for Nano-Satellite Platforms
… (RPA) is an instrument that, when mounted on a satellite in low-Earth orbit, makes in-situ measurements of ion density, temperature and speed relative to the satellite frame. The instrument works by changing the voltage on one of a set of grids and measuring a corresponding current generated by …

Hydrostatic Pressure Testing of a Square-Cross Section Stainless Steel Propellant Tank Manufactured Using Selective Laser Sintering
… manufactured propellant tank, constructed for a nano-satellite of the cubesat class. Strain measurements from twelve strain gage locations on the propellant tank were recorded. A finite element analysis (FEA) model, which assumes isotropic material properties, was generated and a FEA analysis was …

Considerations for a multi-modal electrospray propulsion system
Micro- and nano-satellites have begun to garner significant interest within the space craft community as economic trends encourage a shift away from larger, stand-alone satellite platforms. In particular, CubeSats have emerged as popular, economic alter natives to traditional satellites which might …
