      Færgestad, Rannveig Marie; Holmen, Jens Kristian; Berstad, Torodd; Cardone, Tiziana; Ford, Kevin Anthony; Børvik, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Hypervelocity impacts (HVIs) from orbital debris are an increasing threat to current and future missions in low Earth orbit, making spacecraft shielding vital for future space exploration efforts. A debris shield is a ...
    • On small satellites for oceanography: A survey 

      Guerra, Andre G.C.; Francisco, Frederico; Villate, Jaime; Agelet, Fernando; Bertolami, Orfeu; Rajan, Kanna (Journal article, 2016)
      The recent explosive growth of small satellite operations driven primarily from an academic or pedagogical need, has demonstrated the viability of commercial-off-the-shelf technologies in space. They have also leveraged ...
    • Satellite uplink interference measurements in the 437 MHz UHF amateur radio band onboard LUME-1 

      Quintana Diaz, Gara; Ekman, Torbjörn; Camanzo, Alejandro; Birkeland, Roger; Lago, José Miguel; Muíño, Alberto González; Aguado, Fernando (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Satellite operators struggle to communicate with their satellites over Europe in the UHF amateur band (430–440 MHz) due to high power in-orbit interference. Statistical characterisation of the interference beyond average ...
