Eshuis, Frank (author)
The Deployable Space Telescope (DST) project aims to reduce the stowed volume compared to other Earth observation satellites with a similar resolution. The DST demonstrator functions in the thermal infrared (TIR) domain, which imposes stringent thermal requirements on the detector. The detector must be cooled to 150 K, and the instrument box to...

ADCS magnetometers on board of satellites suffer from the disruptive magnetic field produced by the satellite itself. For CubeSats and PocketQubes this magnetic field is usually not quantified. If the largest magnetic field sources are known and if there is freedom in the magnetometer placement, the magnetometer is simply placed as far from the...

The miniaturization of satellites throughout the decades is mostly contributed by the advancement in electronics and technology. Volume and mass of a satellite are factors of the launch costs. The Deployable Space Telescope (DST) program<br/>aims to reduce the stowed volume of the telescope and subsequently reduce the costs.<br/>Telescopes have...

de Vries, Roelof Jan (author)
In the DST project, a deployable space telescope is designed for the thermal infrared spectrum. For this project, a new Systems Engineering (SE) approach was needed, since the SE was outdated and the project worked in silos. Important goals for the SE approach were that it was easy to use and minimizes the workload by automating as much as...

The need for Earth observation telescopes with high spatial and temporal resolution is constantly increasing, however, current state-of-the-art telescopes are costly. The Deployable Space Telescope project at TU Delft aims to provide a solution with an Earth observation telescope that has the same optical performance as today's best ones, but at...

The Earth magnetic field is used in many applications such as navigation. Magnetic field sensors are mainly used on satellites for attitude control and in limited missions as scientific instruments. These magnetic field instruments are: specifically designed for the mission, expensive and/or require knowledge of the magnetic noise sources...

The Deployable Space Telescope (DST) is a telescope that uses foldable optical elements to reach state-of-the-art ground resolutions while minimising the launch volume and total mass of the system. One of the promising concepts that is part of the DST design is the Compliant Rolling-Element (CORE) Hinge. This hinge uses compliant links to let...

The need for higher spatio-temporal resolution Earth observation increases rapidly. To fill this need, the Deployable Space Telescope (DST) project aims to make a light-weight, low-volume deployable telescope. In doing so, the achievable ground resolution is high while the cost per telescope stays low. This allows for the DST to be used in...

As the new space movement develops, so comes the request for cheaper space solar panels with a shorter delivery time. This master thesis investigates the possibilities of using a Semi-flexible terrestrial solar panel in a low Earth orbit space environment. A Semi-flexible solar panel is a sandwich of polymer films with the solar cells in between...

There are several benefits of using autonomous sensors in spacecraft. Avoidance of wired connections reduces cost, mass, and increases the flexibility and reliability of the system. The impact of wire reduction can be significant, especially for small satellites with many sensors, like temperature and sun sensors. Previous research has already...

van der Linden, S.P. (author)
The definition of the CubeSat is already nearly two decades old. This results in the trend that a large fraction of CubeSat missions are leaving the domain of (educational) technology demonstration and entering that of commercial applications. Therefore a larger focus is put on the reliability and compatibility of commercial of the shelf systems...

The Delfi program is a development line of small satellites comprising the successful Delfi-C3 and Delfi-n3Xt CubeSat missions. As part of an effort to involve radio amateurs from all over the world, a telemetry client is designed which allows radio amateurs to demodulate, decode and display telemetry data. This software was designed for an RF...

DelFFi is a CubeSat mission with the objective to demonstrate formation flying and explore the composition of the upper atmosphere. The research performed in this master thesis focusses on the development of the system architecture of the Command and Data Handling Subsystem of the two identical satellites. Specifically three questions are...

The present thesis deals with the design and analysis of the solar energy supply for the DelFFi nano-satellites. The DelFFi project is parts of the QB50 mission, led by VKI, that intends to launch 50 CubeSat to 350-400[km] altitude in 2016, to carry in situ research in the lower thermosphere. This kind of research has never been done in the past...

After a decade of worldwide CubeSat development, the Von Karman Institute took the lead, to proof the concept of a large swarm of fifty CubeSats which will be launched in early 2016. In addition, the QB50 mission has the main objective to measure the characteristics of the lower thermosphere. In scope of the QB50 project the TU Delft will...

Fault-tolerant On-Board Computer (OBC) software for the Delfi-n3Xt nanosatellite is needed in order to minimize the risk of failures that may occur while the satellite is operating in space. Failures may be OBC specific, but failures that affect the state of the entire satellite and influence the health of the data bus may occur as well. Some...

To improve the pointing capabilities of nanosatellites a fast response attitude control system is required. Reaction wheels are an effective solution and rely on the simple principle of conservation of angular momentum. Also they can be developed within the stringent budgets of nanosatellites with current technologies. The Delfi-n3Xt satellite...

Structural slabs on underwater concrete are widely applied in the construction of tunnels, parking garages, rail- and road construction. Over the years many problems have been reported with aquiferous crack formation in structural slabs on underwater concrete. Aquiferous trough crack formation threatens the durability of structural slabs on...
