1. Lesson 3: Design for Remote Sensing Your Mission 1; just like a real CubeSat

2. Design for Remote Sensing Class structure: – 1. Real satellite sensing equipment and relation to Mission 1 sensors – 2. Mission 1 sensor instructions

3. Real Satellite example and Mission 1 Measure what? Why?Example MissionSatellite sensing equipment Your Mission 1 sensor how? ForceDrag force leads to satellite orbit decay (falling towards Earth) Drag and Atmospheric Neutral Density Explorer Satellite (DANDE)DANDE more infoinfo Accelerometer & neutral mass spectrometer Force Sensitive Resistor 0.5” Magnetic field For example to understand Earth’s interior: earthquake prediction ESA SWARM and more infoSWARMinfo Very precise magnetometer and magneto torques. Reed switch

4. Measure what? Why?Example MissionSatellite sensing equipment Your Mission 1 sensor how? Infrared signal From infrared temperature data the sea temperature can be estimated The Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM) on the Jason-2 satellite Infrared spectrometer with integrated optics Optical Detector / Phototransistor AttitudeMaintaining the correct orientation is extremely important for either taking images or collecting solar power OPS-SAT Attitude Determinatio n and Control System Tilt-ball switch Vibration / Acceleration Remote sensing satellites need to make sure there are no vibrations in the structure before taking images. Rosetta Micro- Imaging Dust Analysis System (MIDAS) Piezo electric sensors Vibration sensor

5. Other value of Remote Sensing What would you measure to determine the optimal location for solar panel placement?
