The CubeSatLab is&nbsp;a&nbsp;centrepiece of the ISM, and provides facilities that allow students to fully understand this revolutionary technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCubeSats catalysed the NewSpace movement. Through&nbsp;CubeSats,&nbsp;we can go to space in a way that is more standardised,&nbsp;modular,&nbsp;and cost-effective. Since it became cheaper to develop space-ready technologies, this has triggered an influx of private players into the space sector. In our CubeSatLab, we can teach the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ism.uni.lu\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">ISM<\/a>&nbsp;students through missions that can actually be&nbsp;accomplished&nbsp;here in Luxembourg,\u201d said&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/snt\/people\/jan_thoemel\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Jan Thoemel<\/a>, Head of the CubeSatLab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what exactly is a CubeSat?&nbsp;As a miniaturised satellite with fixed dimensions, measuring 10cm on all sides, 1kg in mass, 1L in volume, and 1W in energy output. CubeSats are far less expensive to produce and launch.&nbsp;&nbsp;Over the course of three semesters, students of the ISM learn the theory behind CubeSats, have the opportunity to design a mission, and experiment with them in the laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey can handle a CubeSat here that is near-launch-ready, which is vital for the students. It gives them the opportunity to learn what technology is being used for space missions right now, and how to properly leverage this style of satellite,\u201d said Dr. Thoemel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past year and a half, the CubeSatLab has expanded its infrastructure offered to students. They can now use a Helmholtz cage to explore attitude control. This demonstrates how satellites can&nbsp;rotate in&nbsp;a certain direction. Students may also discover a vacuum chamber, which allows them to experiment&nbsp;with theelectronics used in CubeSats.&nbsp;These chips are often consumer electronics designed for daily use, which heat-up but normally can release heat into the Earth&#8217;s air. In space, however, these chips may overheat in the vacuum.&nbsp;In the chamber, students can&nbsp;experience this with their own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CubeSatLab has also recently been equipped with a clean cabin. Satellites are ensembled in so-called clean rooms, where the environment of clean air is guaranteed. For&nbsp;CubeSats,&nbsp;a clean cabin fulfils the same purpose. With clean cabins, students can learn how to assemble them in clean air and solder the parts, for example. \u201cOur CubeSatLab is ready to build pilot projects that could go to space,\u201d shared Dr. Thoemel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition,&nbsp;the CubeSatLab features a sun simulator. This lamp produces the right composition of light for the satellite&#8217;s solar cells and produces electrical power. This technology is essential for satellite operation because defective solar cells or incorrect calculations of energy generation can lead to missions ending prematurely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe students are most impressed by the versatility that we have. We can address most of the aspects of satellite engineering in practice. They can&nbsp;learn&nbsp;attitude&nbsp;control,&nbsp;communication aspects and discover a satellite ground station to communicate with satellites in the orbit. They can get a complete understanding of CubeSat technology here,\u201d said Dr. Thoemel.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Connection with Luxembourgish Space Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CubeSatLab&nbsp;maintains a&nbsp;connection with the&nbsp;Luxembourg&nbsp;space industry. The laboratory is in exchange with Luxembourgish companies to benefit from their experience in practice and with innovative technologies. For example, recently&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dropslab.com\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Dropslap Technologies\u2019<\/a>&nbsp;research and development engineers visited the CubeSatLab. SnT\u2019s researchers evaluated using Dropslab Technologies\u2019 combined artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) solution for the assembly of a hosted payload experiment. The researchers and engineers examined how assisted manufacturing can help to assemble miniaturised payloads and satellites. Exploring the&nbsp;possibilities of&nbsp;collaboration,&nbsp;the researchers&nbsp;tested&nbsp;their&nbsp;Sense&nbsp;software and their unique headset. Using headsets and voice control, the researchers were able to assemble the payload hands-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/07\/studying_cubesats_a_look_into_the_orbit.jpg\"\n                    style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 4\/3; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p><i>Using headsets, the researchers assembled the payload hands-free.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such highly innovative technology is being tested in the CubeSatLab and might be used here in the future. \u201cAssisted&nbsp;assembly&nbsp;increases the&nbsp;speed and quality of satellite assembly. As&nbsp;a&nbsp;support&nbsp;for&nbsp;humans,&nbsp;it can prevent human error,\u201d said Dr. Thoemel. \u201cI was&nbsp;impressed by&nbsp;how&nbsp;seamlessly&nbsp;the Sense solution integrated with our researchers and the laboratory, despite extremely limited&nbsp;preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Students present their Research at International Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students from the CubeSatLab received a special opportunity to present their research at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/iac2022.org\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">2022 International Astronautical Congress (IAC)<\/a>. In their second semester of the CubeSat course, students designed a complete CubeSat mission and compiled the results into a report. \u201cThe students discovered aspects during their mission that were highly innovative. They also received guidance in the scientific writing of their report, but I encouraged them to go a step further and write a scientific paper on their findings,\u201d said Dr. Thoemel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission they presented was to observe northern latitude wetlands, with a method of observation called GNSS-reflectometry. Due to climate change permafrost is vanishing and the northern latitudes are becoming increasingly wet. The students wanted to observe waterways with CubeSats, as they can carry out missions with a much smaller budget than larger satellites. The applied reflectometry technology uses GPS signals reflection on Earth\u2019s surface to detect waterways on Earth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vladyslav Bohlachov, a student of the ISM, presented the mission, entitled&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/iafastro.directory\/iac\/paper\/id\/73064\/abstract-pdf\/IAC-22,B1,IP,67,x73064.brief.pdf?2022-04-05.11:03:54\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cDaffodil\u201d<\/a>,&nbsp;at the IAC. \u201cThe presentations were great. Vladyslav Bohlachov had quite an audience that wanted to know how this mission works,\u201d shared Dr. Thoemel. Dr. Michaele Jamrozik, former ISM student, presented a detail of their similar mission&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/iafastro.directory\/iac\/paper\/id\/71497\/abstract-pdf\/IAC-22,B5,1,15,x71497.brief.pdf?2022-04-05.11:19:00\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cGoldcrest\u201d<\/a>. The mission required computational resources on board of the CubeSat. She solved this problem and ensured the mission&#8217;s feasibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe International Astronautical Congress is the largest space conference in the world. This was an important motivator for the students. At the IAC you see major innovations and new mission in space. Directors of major space agencies such as NASA and ESA participate. Students have gained a very broad view of various missions,\u201d added Dr. Thoemel.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the University of Luxembourg\u2019s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), students of the Interdisciplinary Space Master (ISM) can\u00a0handle and develop miniaturised\u00a0satellites, known as CubeSats.
