This simulator is composed of a launching pad, imaging rack, and electromagnets. Using this simulator and its four designed experiments, the concept of the weightlessness conditions are simulated for the students. Achievement Creators Profile Description Profile Description Profile Description
“Micro ADCS simulator” is a simulator for knowing, developing and testing the performance of the satellites attitude determination and control subsystem, (ADCS). This simulator has been developed as hands-on training setup for students and researchers who are going to work in space technology field. “Micro ADCS simulator” were explored to establish 1-axis attitude control. This simulator can be used by research and educational centers and labs for providing wide range of hands-on training and searching activities. “Micro ADCS simulator” show how satellites rotate by control actuators and also show the evolution of satellite’s attitude determination and control methods in [...]
Small satellite, big future Introduction Currently, CubeSat with a 10 cm cube (10×10×10 cm3) and a mass of up to 1.33 kg has become the lowest cost turnkey access to Space, which has become the most popular training/educational tools or low-cost technology demonstration platforms that could be developed and launched within a short period. The CubeSat Hands-on Training Package (CHTP) aims to support participants to study space technology and satellite engineering by CubeSats technology. Satellite system design and engineering practice will be the basic baseline of this package. CHTP focused on educational skills and has [...]
Introduction To simulate the conditions of the space environment at ground the SRL was developed a tabletop Micro testbed. The Tabletop Testbed provide near-frictionless motion environment with 360-degree rotation about one axis (yaw rotation) about 35-degree around two other axis (Roll and Pitch). Tabletop Micro Air-Bearing has 2 main parts: 1. Platform with balancing mechanism 2. The hemispherical Air bearing with its support The platform must be tall enough to place test equipments in the middle of it and provides a stable base. In order to create a balancing platform a 30 cm diameter circle [...]
Vacuum and Its Formation Vacuum is called to a space which is free of matter. In such a condition, air molecules which cause pressure are also available. This is an ideal definition of vacuum. Absolute zero pressure is defined in this space. In practice, achievement of such an environment is impossible because there are always some gas molecules; however, achievement of very low pressures is possible. Today, vacuum systems are manufactured that can generate environments capable of very low molecular separation per unit volume. Pressures lower than the pressure of air atmosphere are called vacuum. The word Vacuum is derived [...]
In order to test the identification of magnetic two poles of the production magnet torquers and also their interaction with magnetic field there was a need for satellite orbit, so that by the use of two dimensional Helmholtz rings, the magnetic field of the orbit could be simulated in a coordinate system attached to the orbit's page in two dimensions For this aim, the simulator system of satellite orbit magnetic environment called "KOSAR 100" was built in Space Research Laboratory and it could simulate magnetic field in a wider confine more carefully. This simulator is used to simulate a magnetic [...]
In order to simulate the functional environment of a space system and to assess the function of control/stability subsystem, SpaceRL has begun designing and making the Hardware In the Loop (HIL) for attitude simulator. This system is a stand with three degrees of freedom which can simulate the attitude of a space system and its elements like the way it actually happens in orbit. This simulator can be used to test the attitude actuators such as reaction wheels and thrusters. Appropriate properties of this simulator have made possible the sending of control commands and the receiving of its reaction in [...]
