Testing the on-board satellite software (VAMOS) with SCOS 2000. Those testing commands will be stored as templates, which will be used for verifying the on-board software after launching the German satellite BIROS, which is part of DLR's FireBird constellation, that consists of two spacecraft, TET-1 and BIROS.Those research tasks are the next phase of the previous work done by us in 2014, in which we had to test the on-board software programmatically with C++.The goal of… Show more Testing the on-board satellite software (VAMOS) with SCOS 2000. Those testing commands will be stored as templates, which will be used for verifying the on-board software after launching the German satellite BIROS, which is part of DLR's FireBird constellation, that consists of two spacecraft, TET-1 and BIROS.Those research tasks are the next phase of the previous work done by us in 2014, in which we had to test the on-board software programmatically with C++.The goal of VAMOS is to make as much use of the resources given onboard a spacecraft as possible and to enable reacting to events that haven’t been known during the ground-based planning run. Such events can include cloud coverage or to the detection of interesting contents in newly acquired data. Therefore, an additional software component shall be embedded into the onboard software that performs near-real-time re-planning and re-commanding. To achieve this, the onboard component is assisted by respectively extended functions of the ground mission planning, which prepare complex calculations in advance and provide the results via tele-commands.More information about VAMOS:http://elib.dlr.de/89409/1/OnboardSchedulingWithinFireBIRD_submission%20_6.pdfhttp://elib.dlr.de/84313/1/IFAC2013_VAMOS_03.pdf More information about BIROS:https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/content/-/article/biros Show less

1-Two line elements (TLEs) accuracy investigation. Since publicly available TLEs provided by NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) are not associated with statistical information about accuracy and propagation errors. Therefore accuracy investigation is required to be done in order to realize the level of confidence in the TLE data. Such information is needed for space collision avoidance maneuvers2- Mounting of the 10 Micron GM2000 HPS telescope driver for the optical… Show more 1-Two line elements (TLEs) accuracy investigation.

Tasks:Constructing complex urban networks from GUF (Urban Binary Mask generated from SARimages). The analysis of this networks helps in understanding urbanization behavior andpopulation densityThe first prototype was written in MATLAB since it allowed testing of the concept and main algorithm in a short term.

Studying and simulating Earth like exoplanets Atmosphere. Imaging exoplanets is very difficult given that, the planets brightness is very small compared to stars also its far away from us. As a consequence the alternative way to study exoplanets is to investigate their atmosphere which answers some of the questions about the planets composition and habitability.
