September 05, 2020: Dr. Nguyen Hoang Quan (VNU Univ. Eng. Tech.), Integration and Testing Challenges of Nano Satellites: Experiences from a Space Technology Project
Since the dawn of space-age, many artificial satellites have been launched and operationalized by many space-faring nations for Earth observation, Communication, Navigation, and Space sciences applications. Nano Satellites offer a compelling alternative to large space projects, with the capability to support commercial, governmental, academic applications responsively and cost-effectively. Also, Nano Satellites have a lot of potential in the future and will give rise to a lot of new developments in various technologies and are needed from a strategic point of view in the near future. Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) is a very important phase in the spacecraft development cycle. It verifies functions of all hardware and software elements of the integrated spacecraft. Generally, AIT activity starts with the beginning of the spacecraft development life cycle. It includes assembly of many components, parts, and manufactured subsystems, followed by integration and testing of the flight spacecraft. This presentation will explain various aspects of spacecraft integration and testing activities in a space technology project.
