Strategic Project

Abstract Romania achieved full membership within ESA (European Space Agency) in 2011 and is actually involved in several European flagship space programmes. The “National Strategy for Space and Related Fields” is a strategic project funded through the Romanian Space Technology and Advanced Research Program (STAR), which is implemented by a consortium coordinated by IAROM S.A. One of the project goals is to identify national space- related technological capabilities and possible niches for Romania within the European space industry, as well as to identify cooperation opportunities within the mandatory and optional ESA programs. This paper presents an overview of the areas of expertise covered by projects contracted in 2012 and 2013 in the framework of the national space research and development programme. The paper does not cover industrial space contracts since they contain sensitive information.

The Creation

This chapter describes the author's proposal on the necessity of Establishing an Asian Space Agency (ASA). The establishment of the ASA will promote the international cooperation among Asian countries in space exploitation, research and technology, as well as their space application and developments, much like the European Space Agency in Paris. It is desirable and necessary for us to establish ASA in order to promote cooperation in space policy, law, science, technology, and industry among Asian countries. The creation of an ASA would lead to a strengthening of the cooperation deemed essential by the Asian community towards joint undertakings in space and would act as a catalyst for the efforts on space exploitation and allow resources, technology, manpower, and finances to be centrally managed in an independent fashion to the benefit of Asian countries. It is desirable and necessary for us to establish the ASA in order to develop the space industry to strengthen friendly relations and to promote research cooperation among Asian countries.

Space Agency

Eurospace, founded in 1961, is the Organization of the European Space Industry. Its members are 80 major industrial companies, banks and operators from 13 countries in Western Europe. The Association is the mouthpiece of industry to the European Space Agency (E.S.A.), in particular with regard to future European space programmes. In the course of its other promotional activities it has applied and sustained successful efforts to promote a regional communication satellite system serving the African continent.

Selection Of

The analysis of information on the stability of the electronic component base (ECB) in the development of radio-electronic equipment (REE) of spacecraft (spacecraft) is an important and urgent task. The paper considers the main components of the approaches of foreign organizations developing radio space technology to ensure its radiation resistance. The design approaches of Thales Alenia Space, Airbus Defense and Space, and the European Space Agency are presented. The article outlines the main directions for optimizing the procedures for the preliminary selection of ECB, which consist in ensuring the required resistance of REE SC at the ECB level with ensuring the reliability of data on durability, in minimizing the costs of applying resistance enhancement measures (through the use of a promising ECB with increased resistance characteristics), to replace ECB.

New Generation

MAGNA STEYR Space Technology was authorised by the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop to breadboard level a low mass micro engineered device able to change the heat rejection capability of a radiator and to protect it against external radiation variations. Previous works of MAGNA in the field of thermal control systems was the thermal design, manufacturing and verification of the ROSETTA thermal Louvres [5]. Thermal Louvres in satellite applications are used for thermal control to avoid overheating of the new generation satellites by exposed or shadowed radiator area. The closing and opening of the louvers wings is performed by thermal controlled actuators. The Louvres system is designed to be controlled by solar radiation. The challenge in the project was the design, manufacturing and verification of louvers with less mass but higher efficiency than current louvers.

The Impact

The European Space Agency (ESA) has established a Technology Observatory to actively monitor and benchmark the evolution of space technologies worldwide in support of its space technology strategy. One of the issues that has been recently analysed is the effect of restrictions placed by national governments worldwide on the export of space technologies. In this paper, the authors discuss the main findings of this survey. Import and export restrictions and indicative space related export and import flows are mapped and analysed. In addition, space-related cooperation agreements are reviewed. Positive and negative impacts of export and impact restrictions are identified and analysed. Major space faring countries have national legislations dealing with ‘sensitive’ technologies; however, the scope and type of legislations vary widely. Diverging trends have been identified for major exporting space industries. The European space sector has experienced a large increase while its American counterpart witnessed a net decrease; countries like China, India, Japan, and Russia are more active in export activities. U.S. export regulations have had the strongest impact on shaping the world export market. The widening of the export market strengthens the impact of export restrictions in Europe.

Malaysia had in the past sent two remote sensing satellites to orbit by collaborating with foreign space companies to build homegrown capacities for space technology development. At the educational institutions, a pico-satellite development program would be an ideal first step to establish such capacity as students could gain the experience and know-how through the complete cycle of designing, building and testing a satellite. As it is now, some of their overseas counterparts have already succeeded in running CubeSat programs due to strong support from kit manufacturers and their national space agencies. However, the cost to purchase such kits could be discouraging and National Space Agency (ANGKASA) recognises the needs to initiate some designs that could be used or referred to for further development or expansion. In this paper, a hardware design of On-Board Data Handling (OBDH) board using PIC Microcontroller is presented. OBDH is a main subsystem which controls all subsystems in the satellite. It provides a series of important services like command, telemetry, data communication, data acquisition, process, storage and management. The PIC Microcontroller made by Microchip Corporation is chosen as it is widely used by the industry and academia in Malaysia. The 16-bit PIC24 microcontroller has been recognized as a suitable part due to its performance, memory, peripherals, cost effective solutions as well as availability. The method used in designing the OBDH in this pico-satellite is first based on a main mission to investigate ionospheric effect on GPS signal transmission. Other considerations taken are that the parts used should be of commercial off the shelf product and having its own development board for ease of testing. The expected result would be the successful arrangement of all required parts in limited pico-satellite’s size and the accomplishment in achieving the satellite’s missions through simulation.
