This document outlines a proposed CubeSat mission to study Phobos, one of Mars' moons. A network of 4 CubeSats would work together to overcome limitations of a single CubeSat. Two CubeSats would each carry a spectrometer and camera to analyze surface composition and image Phobos. A third CubeSat would carry an X-ray spectrometer. The fourth CubeSat would function as a communications relay between the network and Earth. This coordinated approach would allow for more comprehensive scientific analysis of Phobos compared to previous single-satellite missions.
Nearly every military vehicle and every satellite that flies into space uses the GPS to fix its position. In this popular 4-day short course, GPS expert Tom Logsdon will describe in detail how those precise radionavigation systems work and review the many practical benefits they provide to military and civilian users in space and around the globe.

Importance of SSPS in SDG and ESG, and importance of antennas in SSPSAdvanced-Concepts-Team
A space solar power satellite system or SSPS can generates electricity without CO2 gas nor harmful debris with competitive cost. So, it should be attached importance in SDG and ESG programs. The SSPS is a huge system working in space so that several key technologies have to be innovated or verified in space before the final manufacture. I will introduce those key technologies in terms of difficulty in applying to SSPS. In a research and development plan, key technologies with more difficulty should be ranked higher. Antennas are typically difficult ones. It is explained how the antenna is challenging compared with the existing antennas on the ground and in space. Finally, I will show you a R&D plan to put SSPS into practical use in about 30 years.

The demand for greater positioning accuracy with more reliability for waterways and marine positioning is aided with more satellite availability. While GPS from USA, and GLONASS from Russia, have been the mainstay of GNSS for the last few years we have seen three new constellations – QZSS from Japan, BeiDou (Compass) from China and GALILEO from Europe.
This presentation reviews the current status of all the GNSS constellations. Other new developments which will be touched briefly;
-Updated Geoid Model EGM-96,
-Due to doubling of the number of satellites, the corrections needed for precise GNSS, have also doubled so a new correction format is explained.
Furthermore we will tell you something about the latest RTX service (corrections over satellite) and xFILL technology (maintaining your positioning after you lose your GNSS signal).
NavikEye is the Multiconstellation GNSS simulator from MaxEye Technologies.
NavikEye Multi-constellation GNSS Simulator offers realtime generation of various global satellite navigation signals including dynamic scenarios and HIL simulation. The scenario generation can be fully automated using the remote TCP commands via Ethernet. This enables the implementation of dynamic HIL environment. The HIL test system can feed the realtime location coordinates, velocity and other vehicle dynamics to the GNSS Simulator. Based on this GNSS simulator updates the receiver position in realtime.
The simulator supports moving receiver scenarios with predefined waypoints using NMEA and KML files. NavikEye GNSS Simulator is based on National Instruments scalable and software defined PXI architecture powered by LabVIEW.

Larry Matthies, senior research scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, presents the "Using Vision to Enable Autonomous Land, Sea and Air Vehicles" keynote at the May 2016 Embedded Vision Summit.
Say you’re an autonomous rover and you’ve just landed on Mars. Vexing questions now confront you: “Where am I and how am I moving?” “What obstacles are around me?” “Are the obstacles moving?” “What other objects are around me that matter to my mission?” As it turns out, Earth isn’t that different from Mars in this regard. If you’re an autonomous car or drone, you face similar challenges. You’ve got to find combinations of sensors that work across different illumination, weather, temperature, and vehicle dynamics; processors that fit the size, weight, and power constraints of the system; and algorithms that can answer the questions given the sensors and processors available. In this talk, Matthies gives an overview of autonomous vehicle computer vision applications, explores successful approaches, and illustrates concepts with application examples from applications on Earth and in planetary exploration.
A coupled Electromagnetic-Mechanical analysis of next generation Radio Telesc...Altair
This work considers the design of large and complex receivers used in the field of radio astronomy, e.g. for the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) project. The purpose of this work is to consider a coupled simulation where the electromagnetic analysis, performed with the computational electromagnetic software package FEKO, is enhanced by the structural analysis offered by HyperWorks products such as HyperMesh and Optistruct. External influences such as gravity, wind-loading and thermal properties will be taken into account. This will enhance the electromagnetic simulation results, thereby aiding designers to mitigate these environmental effects.

A GEO satellite’s distance from earth gives it a large coverage area, almost a fourth of the earth’s surface and also have 24 hour view of a particular area.This will be very helpful to army,navy etc.,These factors make it ideal for satellite broadcast and other multipoint applications.Continuous monitoring is done and also cost effective in long term, risk-less.
