INTRODUCTION
A satellite is basically any object that revolves around a planet in a circular or elliptical path. The path a satellite follows is an orbit. In the orbit, the farthest point from Earth is the apogee, and the nearest point is the perigee. Orbits are been classified into three namely: Geostationary orbit Asynchronous orbit Polar orbit
Classification
NANO SATELLITE
The term "nanosatellite" or "nanosat" is usually applied to an artificial satellite with a wet mass between 1 and 10 kg. It refers the precise engineering of materials on atomic and molecular scales. It uses MEMS(Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. Primary application is a system wide implementation of laser communication.
COMMUNICATION
A typical satellite communication system
ANTENNA
ANTENNA
RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER
SUBSYSTEM
It is divided mainly into two: PAY LOAD It is everything a satellite needs to perform its specific mission Bus
SCIENTIFIC INTRUMENTS
The scientific instruments include the various equipments on the satellite for observations study and measurements and for certain measurements. Some of them are: Electric Field Vector Sensor (EFVS) Magnetometers Langmuir probe Antennas
FUNCTIONS
Orbit insertion Satellite Attitude, stability and orbit adjust during transfer orbit Reorientation, spin rate, orbit dispersion, east and West drift and eccentricity and inclination corrections during drift orbit and station acquisition. Orbit Maintenance The various propulsion systems used are Micro Thrusters Xenon Ion Propulsion Free Molecule Micro Resisto jet (FMMR)
MICRO THRUSTERS
New generation thrusters which are capable of generating forces between 10mN- 50mN Operation Chamber filling with solid propellant Propellant heating by Joule effect and ignition Combustiongas production and thrust force
XIPS
It stands for XENON ION PROPULSION SYSTEM. The electrostatic ion thruster is a kind of design for ion thrusters. Design use high voltage electrodes in order to accelerate ions with electrostatic forces.
ADVANTAGES
Reduced overall mass (cheaper launch) Increased efficiency Adaptability Robust to space environment
USES
various academic and commercial purposes Sensor array and on screen video telemetry Remote sensing.
CONCLUSION
