Next-Gen Nanosatellite Design for Sustainable Development Goals

Join the Nanosat Student Initiative and design the next generation of nanosatellites that combine new technologies and address earth-observation challenges aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. Explore various disciplines, conduct experiments, and create models to tackle sub-topics such as thermal protection, lightweight materials, structural optimization, on-board systems design, positioning and propulsion, logistics, business planning, environmental considerations, and overall integration. Collaborate with experts and contribute to the Repository Analysis, Prototype Conceptualization, and R&D. Minimum 3-year commitment.

  1. Nanosat Student Initiative (1st thoughts, September 3, 2019)

  2. The student challenge: to design next-generation of nanosatellite(s) which combine new technologies and earth-observation challenges fulfilling Sustainable Development Goals. This will require detailed investigations among and across several disciplines where both experimental and modelling approaches are welcome. Potential sub-topics could include, among others: • Thermal: thermal protection systems, insulation…. • Materials: light-weight materials development and characterization wrt thermo-mechanical fatigue, creep etc… • Structures: static and dynamic behaviour of integrated, multi-purpose structures for the full application range; optimization of structural layout… • Systems: design of on-board systems; electronics, power generation, communications and data links… • Positioning & Propulsion: • Operation, Logistics, Business: network infrastructures and interfaces, launch planning, cost assessment for development-manufacturing-exploitation, commercial viability… • Environmental issues: … • Overall Design and Integration

  3. PossibleWorking Groups? WG10: Environmental issues

  4. Initiative overview Main Objective Repository Analysis. Potential targeted experimentation actions. Dedicated Effort Minimum effort is 3 years; If EU funding available it could be extended. Phase I Phase III Phase II Main Objective Prototype Conceptualization based on I and II. Conceptualization Approx. 1 year Ramping-up Approx. 1 year Analysis Approx. 1 year Main Objective Repository (peer reviewed) of challenge-specificR&D&I. Time

  5. Phase I: Ramping-up

  6. Phase II: Repository Analysis

  7. Phase II: Repository Analysis

  8. Phase III: Conceptualization

  9. Phase III: Conceptualization

  10. High Level Gantt Chart • Minimum effort is 3 years; • If EU funding available it could be extended. Repository Dedicated R&D&I Repository Synthesis. Potential extra experimentation/simulation tailored to students. Prototype Conceptualization (activity realised by all students) Basic Collaborative Platform Advanced Collaborative Platform Increasing in-kind effort required Increasing EU funding useful.

  11. Next steps: organizing the ramping up Meeting • Identify & invite the willing to take part in this initiative. • Populate the different Working Groups and challenges. • Nominate WG Coordinators. • Start developing the R&D&I repository.
