094 - High-accuracy formation flying technologies for future distributed space instruments
More and more advanced sensing systems implement the concepts of distributed instrumentation, in areas ranging from science to telecommunications. Typical illustrations include astronomy with optical and radio-telescopes (e.g., SKA, ALMA), underground sensing, and some implementation of massive MIMO over multiple base stations in 5G/6G networks. The opportunity of distributed instrumentation has…
079 - Reduced size Antenna for Earth Pulsar navigation
Pulsar are rapidly rotating neutron stars emitting beams of radiation periodically, some with very high stability.
Since every pulsar has a different frequency, they can be used in a navigation system like beacons, and in timing (see EL1-006).
Emission occurs in all spectrum (infrared, visible, RF, X-ray). For space navigation, detectors in X-ray are preferred for their size, but detectors…
