In this paper, a mission analysis software is described for LEO small satellites which is developed by students participating in the APSCO (Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization) Student Small Satellite (SSS) project. The software currently includes several functionalities such as orbit propagation with the options of SGP4 and numerical integration as well as calculation of groundtracks, eclipse durations, solar and albedo fluxes on the satellite panels, communication intervals, imaging opportunities and parameters specific to satellite modes. The results of the most functions are compared and verified with General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT). For the further analysis, it is considered to include specific attitude profiles, and thermal analysis capabilities. It is aimed that this work would a baseline for a highly capable mission analysis software which can be used by universities and research institution for the design, analysis and operations of LEO small satellites.

A Shadow based trainable method for building detection in satellite images
Dikmen, Mehmet; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2014)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a supervised building detection and extraction algorithm with a shadow based learning method for high-resolution satellite images. First, shadow segments are identified on an over-segmented image, and then neighboring shadow segments are merged by assuming that they are cast by a single building. Next, these shadow regions are used to detect the candidate regions where buildings most likely occur. Together with this information, distance to shadows towards illuminati...
An interactive program for GPS-based dynamic orbit determination of small satellites
Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01)
This work introduces a near real-time dynamic orbit determination program for small satellites. A quality check of orbit data on ground is important for satellites with GPS positioning that is only available at discrete time epochs because of the limited power-supply onboard, so that space-borne GPS receivers are switched on/off intermittently, or because of possible malfunctioning of GPS receivers. The method of parameter estimation with space-borne GPS position fixes as observations is based on an extende...
A Multi-National Multi-Institutional Educaiton Framework: APSCO SSS-2B CubeSat Project
Yaglioglu, Burak; Atas, Omer; Kahraman, Duygu; Kose, Suleyman; Tekinalp, Ozan; Suer, Murat (2019-01-01)
Initiated in early 2015 and officially started by the end of 2016, Asia Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) Student Small Satellite (SSS) program aims student and faculties training from Member States (Bangladesh, China, Iran, Mongolia, Pakistan, Peru, Thailand and Turkey) by involving them in a real satellite design project where they can experience the whole life cycle of a space mission. With this, the program also targets capacity building and human resource development. Within the scope of t...
A tool for designing robust autopilots for ramjet missiles
Kahvecioğlu, Alper; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006)
The study presented in this thesis comprises the development of the longitudinal autopilot algorithm for a ramjet powered air-to-surface missile. Ramjet Missiles have short time-of-flight, however they suffer from limited angle of attack margins due to poor operational-region characteristics of the ramjet engine. Because of such limitations and presence of uncertainties involved, Robust Control Techniques are used for the controller design. Robust Control Techniques not only provide an easy limitation/uncer...
Development of control allocation methods for satellite attitude control
Elmas, Tuba Çiğdem; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010)
This thesis addresses the attitude control of satellites with similar and dissimilar actuators and control allocation methods on maneuvering. In addition, the control moment gyro (CMG) steering with gyroscopes having limited gimbal angle travel is also addressed. Full Momentum envelopes for a cluster of four CMG's are obtained in a pyramid type mounting arrangement. The envelopes when gimbal travel is limited to plus-minus 90 degree are also obtained. The steering simulations using Moore Penrose (MP) pseudo...
