Gigabit Cubesat Communications Systems enabling the Earth Observation Sciences and Space research: Challenges and solutions
Abstract
Gigabit Cubesat communications systems can enable the Earth Observation Sciences and Space research to maximize the utility of a new generation of miniaturized instruments that generate vast data sets well beyond the current downlink capabilities of small research Cubesats. Designing and developing gigabit cubesat Communications Systems is very challenging due to the extremely limited size, mass and power budget of cubesat spacecraft. We will explore the many design considerations and their solutions and applications.
