CUSat: An End-to-End In-Orbit Inspection System University Nanosatellite Program

摘要

CUSat is Cornell University's entry in the University Nanosatellite Program (UNP4) . The student team has met many of the objectives of the program already, including education and outreach. The project promises a first-ever, end-to-end in-orbit inspection system. with centimeter-level accuracy, carrier- phase differential GPS enables CUSat to navigate and use its cameras to gather target-satellite imagery. In the ground segment, image-processing techniques verify the CDGPS position and orientation estimates and provide a 3D model of the target satellite for the data end-user.
