This method has been developed to reduce the prohibitive cost and time of their conceptual design phase. The proposed method effectively conducts the design of GEO communication satellite lying in the range of 1–7 thousand kilograms. The main feature of the new methodlogy is to determine the design information of the conceptual [...]

M. Sc. Thesis Author Introduction:First name: ShahramLast name: KeshavarziEntrance year: 2020Defense date: 2023/Sep/12Email address: Shahram.keshavarzi@email.kntu.ac.ir Title: Autonomous optical navigation of interplanetary cubesats Abstract: Mission planning for space exploration typically relies on determining the Earth orbit to determine the appropriate position and guide the spacecraft towards the mission objective. This process involves ground tracking stations and flight dynamics teams for communication and control of spacecraft in deep space, contributing to the overall cost of space missions. However, recent expansion of CubeSat satellites challenges this paradigm, where interplanetary spacecraft navigations are employed. In fact, miniature spacecraft increase the total number [...]
