ACSER

Write a comment

The Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research (ACSER) was launched at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in November 2010. The centre aims to assist in the Federal Government's push to increase Australia's capabilities in the space industry.

The centre will build on existing UNSW strengths of satellite navigation, earth observation, and hypersonics, and can draw on the huge expertise of Australia's largest Engineering faculty. UNSW is participating in five Australian Space Research Program (ASRP) projects.

SAMPEX

Write a comment

The Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX) satellite was launched in July 1992 into a low earth orbit at an altitude of 520 by 670 km and 82 degrees inclination.

The satellite far exceeded its expected three-year lifetime. It has primarily operated in a three-axis stabilized mode but has also been spun for limited periods. The satellite carries four instruments designed to measure the radiation environment of the Earth's magnetosphere.

SAMPEX was an international collaboration between NASA of the United States and Germany. It was part of the Small Explorer program started in 1989.

SAMPEX science mission ended on June 30, 2004.

PhoneSat

Write a comment

NASA's PhoneSat project will demonstrate the ability to launch the lowest-cost and easiest to build satellites ever flown in space – capabilities enabled by using off-the-shelf consumer smartphones to build spacecraft.

A small team of engineers working on NASA's PhoneSat at the agency's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., aim to rapidly evolve satellite architecture and incorporate the Silicon Valley approach of "release early, release often" to small spacecraft.

The International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (ITSO) is an intergovernmental organisation charged with overseeing the public service obligations of Intelsat.

The creation of ITSO, previously known by the acronym "INTELSAT", resulted from the efforts of a group of nations to join the United States in 1964 to establish a global communications satellite system. The International Telecommunications Satellite Organization is an intergovernmental organization that incorporates the UNO principle which establishes that communication by means of satellites should be available to the nations of the world as soon aspracticable on a global and non-discriminatory basis.

ITSO underwent an important restructuring in 2001 in a market with increasing competition, fast-paced innovations and rising capital costs. The Assembly of Parties, in 2000, approved the way to create a commercial and pro-competitive company named "Intelsat, Ltd." to operate the satellite system. For this purpose, ITSO transferred its global satellite system, including the geostationary-orbital locations, "landing rights" and the brand-name of "Intelsat," to Intelsat Ltd
