Micro/nano/pico-satellites are now making a big game change in the field of space utilizations with their ultra low-cost and quick development feature. The University of Tokyo (UT) has been conducting research and development of such satellites since 2000, and already launched and operated successfully 11 satellites including the world's first 1kg CubeSat in 2003. This workshop will highlight the history of UT’s satellite development activities and gives an overview on how we educate students in the field. Important topics such as improvement of survivability in space, attitude control, and recover from critical situations will be covered in this workshop. The University Space Engineering Consortium (UNISEC), a university community in Japan to encourage such student activities, will be introduced and how it is now becoming an international organization (UNISEC-GLOBAL) will be described. Basic satellite technological issue such as radiation environment, basics of orbital mechanics, mode transfer, and satellite operation will be lectured.
Agenda:
09:00 - 10:00: Attitude control basics for micro/nano/pico-satellite (including CanSat)
10:15 - 11:15: Satellite design basics for such satellite
11:15 - 12:00: Additionnal Q&A session
14:00 - 15:00: Orbit mechanics and orbital design basics
15:15 - 16:15: Considerations for survivability and flexibility for such satellites
16:15 - 17:00: Additionnal Q&A session
Prof. Nakasuka graduated from University of Tokyo in 1983 and got Ph.D in 1988. He joined IBM Research during 1988-1990, and then worked for Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, University of Tokyo as a lecturer in 1990, as an Associate Professor in 1993, and became a Professor in 2004. His major research areas include guidance, navigation and control of spacecraft, applications of artificial intelligence to space systems, and novel space systems. He developed and launched the world first 1kg CubeSat in 2003, and since then successfully launched eleven micro/nano/pico-satellites. He lead the governmentally funded “Hodoyoshi Project” during 2010-2014 to establish an infrastructure of developing and utilizing micro-satellites, and because of its excellent outcomes, he received “Prime Minister Award” in the 3rd Space Development and Utilization Award coordinated by Cabinet Office of Japan. He is a member of JSASS, SICE, and IAA, and the former Chairperson of IFAC Aerospace Technical Committee and current president of UNISEC-GLOBAL. He has been a member of Space Policy Committee of Cabinet Office since 2012, and played the central role to establish the current basic plan of Japanese space policy issued in January 2015.
