Riding with Hera are two small cubesats, named Juventas and Milani. The shoebox-sized craft are stashed inside little "garages" on board Hera called Deep Space Deployers, and they will be released ...
A mission to survey the results of a deliberate crash between an asteroid and a NASA spacecraft has taken stunning images of ...
Hera’s job, Carnelli said, is to reach Didymos and gather all the necessary scientfic data to turn this one-off experiment into a validated and repeatable technique. To do so, it will release two ...
The European Space Agency (ESA) fires up three of the instruments on the Hera spacecraft and takes images of the smaller ...
"We developed a scheme that allows the CubeSats to operate efficiently without colliding," said aerospace Ph.D. student Ruthvik Bommena. "These small spacecraft have limited onboard computation ...
Space is hard, especially if you haven’t done it before. A growing number of CubeSats are launched by small, inexperienced teams every year, and a number of them fail due to missing some small ...
Credit: Spire Global SAN FRANCISCO – Spire Global established two-way optical communications for the first time between two six-unit cubesats. The cubesats, equipped with an optical ...
The Hera spacecraft, along with two cubesats named Milani and Juventas, will be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The liftoff is ...
Hera came as near as 5000 kilometres to the ... The mission also carries two miniature satellites, or CubeSats, called Juventas and Milani. Rather than orbiting Dimorphos, these will fly in ...
Researchers are developing a methodology that will allow multiple CubeSats to act as servicing agents to assemble or repair a space telescope. Their method minimizes fuel consumption, guarantees ...
