Small spacecraft can be a great learning and training tool, but can also contribute greatly to science advancement. While small spacecraft cannot do everything in the science realm, they can fill important niches and they can complement the major missions of the various national space agencies. Especially in key arenas such as Earth observation and space weather monitoring, small missions can...

The first INSPIRE project has created an instance of a global collaboration centered on science return -- setting in motion an opportunity to envision how INSPIRE might grow as part of the "university of the future" discussions taking place in research-driven academia. With global communication technology being well established, information content (once in the domain of academia) is readily...

In this presentation, I shall be giving an overview and current status of the International Satellite Program in Research and Education (INSPIRE). Since its inception in 2015, INSPIRE has now grown to three satellite missions in various stages of development funded by multiple Universities and agencies. INSPIRE continues to attract interest from Universities to become partners and new mission...

In the mythology, JANUS is a god who is the symbol of "the passer". This program initiated by CNES in 2012 proposes to "pass" knowledge and enthusiasm, to young people and more particularly to students. This program is a concrete tool to involve students more actively in space science.
The main objectives of JANUS are as follow:
- promote space activities by supporting students to...

CubeSats are rapidly becoming a viable platform for scientific observations, in addition to their long established role in engineering education. In this presentation, we share our experiences in initiating a CubeSat development and operations program at National Central University (NCU) in Taiwan, building on a foundation of ionospheric research and payload development, as well as...

The structures of the INSPIRE satellites are all custom designs and assembled at the Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics. The designs of the structures are heavily affected by the method of deployment from the launch vehicle and their respective mission for component placement. INSPIRESat-1, 3, and 4 will use a ring style deployer to separate from an Indian PSLV. These devices require...

IDEASSat (Ionosphere Dynamics Exploration and Attitude Subsystem Satellite) or INSPIRESat-2, is a 3U CubeSat mission developed by National Central University, Taiwan, in collaboration with partners in the INSPIRE consortium. It carries the Compact Ionosphere Probe (CIP) to measure and study ionospheric irregularities. The main functions of our communications (COMM) subsystem is to downlink the...

Solar occultations served as an early work-horse for characterizing the temperature and density of Earth's thermosphere because of the technique's capability of making self-calibrated measurements of thermospheric density from roughly 90 to 400 km. However, solar occultations have been abandoned in recent decades, and few, if any, satellite-borne solar occultation instruments designed...

We will present here our activities at LATMOS / OVSQ / IPSL related to education on satellite programs. We are involved in many educational programs and many of them, like our scientific activities in fact, concern satellites. We are developing it in the frame of our routine teaching activities at the University level of course, but also in the frame of several other projects: H2020 European...
