Free-Space Optical Communication Module For Small Satellites

View page
US Patent:
20200021361, Jan 16, 2020
Filed:
Sep 24, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/579914
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Kathleen Michelle RIESING - Cambridge MA, US
Kerri Cahoy - Lexington MA, US
Tam Nguyen Thuc NGUYEN - Cambridge MA, US
David O. CAPLAN - Westford MA, US
International Classification:
H04B 10/118
Abstract:
Communication bottlenecks, particularly in the downlink direction, are a common problem for many CubeSat developers. As described herein, a CubeSat module for a CubeSat comprises an optical transmitter to transmit data to a remote terminal, a receiver to acquire an optical beacon from a remote terminal, and a fine-pointing module operably and directly coupleable to a coarse-pointing module of the CubeSat. The fine-pointing module is configured to point the optical transmitter toward the remote terminal with an accuracy range that overlaps with an accuracy range of the coarse-pointing module of the CubeSat so as to establish a communications link between the CubeSat and the remote terminal over a low-Earth-orbit (LEO) distance.

Satellite Tracking With A Portable Telescope And Star Camera

US Patent:
20170366264, Dec 21, 2017
Filed:
Jun 16, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/625288
Inventors:
Kathleen Michelle RIESING - Cambridge MA, US
Hyosang YOON - Cambridge MA, US
Kerri Lynn CAHOY - Lexington MA, US
International Classification:
H04B 10/118
H04B 10/61
G01S 3/786
Abstract:
A portable optical ground station can track a satellite with an amateur telescope mounted on a two-axis gimbal. The telescope is aligned with respect to an inertial, Earth-fixed frame using a wide field of view star camera. Star cameras are accurate to the arcsecond level and have the advantage of providing orientation with a single measurement. Using multiple star sensor measurements at different gimbal angles, it is possible to calculate the alignment of the gimbals in the Earth-fixed frame and the alignment of the star sensor in the gimbal frame. Once the alignment is obtained, satellite tracking can be achieved with a known orbit and precise Earth rotation model, such as the International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service (IERS). This alignment procedure can be carried out in less than one hour, making it practical to move and deploy the portable ground station.
