X Abstract

Picosatellites are very small satellites with a mass of less than 1 kg. A number of picosatellite projects have been undertaken by University and government research teams. Constellations of picosatellites could prove to be a low-cost and efficient solution to remote sensing in LEO. Reconfiguration and adaptation are capabilities, which are of critical importance to such constellations. A conceptual model of a constellation consisting of heterogeneous picosatellite nodes with a payload function distributed among the nodes will be outlined. Enabling technologies for picosatellite constellations such as wireless intersatellite links, reconfigurable onboard computing and distributed processing will be discussed. A proposal for a test-bed to demonstrate a reconfigurable distributed computing platform will be outlined.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
