Sensorik und Kommunikation fuer orbitales Servicing (SEKOS) Endbericht

In connection with the future development of an experimental service satellite (ESS-project) sensors suited for guidance navigation control and for automatic orbital control systems, modes of communication and aspects of commercializing have been discussed. Compiled sensors include earth sensors, sun sensors, star sensors (scanner, tracker, mapper), magnetometers, gyros, accelerators, global positioning systems, attitude and orbit determination systems, laser-supported systems for distance measurements, CCD-supported systems for target acquisition and identification. For each type of sensor the performance, mechanical/electrical specification, environmental specification and standard are given together with a discussion on coasts, availability and tendencies of future technical developments. Standard values have been defined for the components of a ground terminal station for communication with a satellite equipped with low and high gain: antenna systems (s band for telemetrie/telecommand, c band for video), local area network, receiver, transmitter and management systems.
