Pages: 4 - 12 Abstract: OPS-SAT is the first publicly accessible Hardware/Software Innovation Lab in low Earth orbit. It was launched by the European Space Agency on December 18, 2019, and is open to European academia and industry, allowing new concepts to be tested in space with a range of interesting payloads. This article discusses the implementation and results of an in-orbit demonstration (IOD) using the software-defined radio payload of OPS-SAT together with onboard RF processing techniques. We demonstrate the design of a software configurable search and rescue receiver using GNU Radio, running on Linux in a 3U CubeSat. The system runs on the Satellite Experimental Processing Platform (SEPP) Cyclone V ARM system-on-chip and is able to autonomously detect and decode transmissions from terrestrial 406-MHz beacons from the global COSPAS-SARSAT search and rescue system. Decoded beacon information is logged onboard together with metadata and is downloaded to mission control at ESA/ESOC. The successful IOD paves the way for in-orbit RF experimentation and bridges the gap between satellite operations and the Internet of Things era. PubDate:

Pages: 14 - 28 Abstract: Critical national infrastructure sites, such as airports and nuclear facilities, have been subject to a number of airspace breaches from malicious unmanned aerial systems (UASs) in recent years. Not only can these incidents cause major disruptions, but they can have significant financial consequences. This article conducts a short review of security incidents caused by the malicious use of small UASs at airports and nuclear facilities. We conclude that the number of incidents of concern remain high and suggest the increased use of UAS with longer flight times, indicating a move away from commercially available platforms, which have limited flight times. The detection and classification methods presented in this review each have strong benefits but this is not withstanding their own challenges. Hence, this review recommends that more than one sensor type are considered in parallel for live systems. A comprehensive detection and classification system must extend further than typical commercially available platforms if we are to fully realize the threat. We also conclude that while successful countermeasure methods do exist there still remains many policy and legal challenges ahead for their implementation. PubDate:

Pages: 30 - 39 Abstract: In the Hayabusa2 re-entry capsule recovery operation, marine radars were used to estimate the landing point of the capsule. These radars were commercial products for ships and were used with some modifications for this operation. The radars tracked the instrument module (I/M) containing the asteroid samples for 18 min, along with other equipment. The maximum observed distance was 31.55 km, and the tracking was accurate up to 240 m near the I/M landing point. This article describes the marine radar system, reports the tracking results of the operation, and discusses the considerations made for future missions. One consideration is to estimate the altitude by using multiple search radars in order to more accurately predict the landing point. Another is to estimate the radar cross-section of the I/M during descent. This article demonstrates that the altitude can be estimated by the search radars, and the radar cross-section fluctuates by approximately. 10 times depending on the elevation angle relative to the radar. The results of this article suggest the possibility of cooperative search by using multiple small radars. This feature may contribute to reductions in mission costs and to expanding the choice of landing areas. PubDate:

Pages: 40 - 47 Abstract: This article outlines the early U.S. history of real-time telemetry processing and display in the computer era. The requirements for real-time testing and display overwhelmed the computer capabilities in the late 1960s and early 1970s. A number of creative solutions were used to address the problem, both from a technological perspective and from the flight test engineer's (the “user”) perspective. The primary history is the experience at the Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River, MD, USA. Parallel developments at other test ranges and in the commercial sector are also described. PubDate:
