Consumable-free electron emitters are presently not feasible for autonomous tether-based deorbit devices such as E.T.PACK due to their power requirement. The bare-photovoltaic-tether (BPT) concept combines the bare tether electron collection with a tethe...

For geostationary orbit transfers, a long duration is required using electric propulsion and a large propellant mass is needed with chemical propulsion. Hybrid transfers can achieve a balance between the fuel consumption and transfer time. In this paper,...

Flight dynamics is a topic often overlooked by operators of small satellites without propulsion systems, as two-line elements (TLE) are easily accessible and accurate enough for most ground segment needs. However, the advent of cheap and miniaturized glo...
