NASA : Successful Deployment of University Satellites From Space Station.- El éxito de implementación de la Universidad de satélites desde la Estación Espacial

Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG.,  ingeniero de vuelo Tim Peake de la ESA de la Expedición 46, captó esta foto el 29 de enero, 2016, frente a la Estación Espacial Internacional, como el brazo robótico en el laboratorio Kibo de Japón ha desplegado con éxito dos satélites combinados de las universidades de Texas. El par de satélites - Aggies AT4 construido por los estudiantes de Texas A & M University, y BEVO-2 construido por la Universidad de los estudiantes de Texas - en conjunto forman el Experimento de navegación terrestre baja órbita de la nave espacial para Rendezvous Autónoma Pruebas y Soporte para investigación (LONESTAR).

Expedition 46 flight engineer Tim Peake of ESA captured this photo on Jan. 29, 2016 from the International Space Station, as the robotic arm in Japan's Kibo laboratory successfully deployed two combined satellites from Texas universities. The pair of satellites -- AggieSat4 built by Texas A&M University students, and BEVO-2 built by University of Texas students -- together form the Low Earth Orbiting Navigation Experiment for Spacecraft Testing Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking (LONESTAR) investigation.

 

The satellites will demonstrate communication protocols between them and with ground stations, as well as systems that allow the satellites to navigate through space and relative to each other and to orient themselves in three dimensions. Flight demonstration of these abilities, necessary for unmanned craft to be able to rendezvous and dock in space without direct human intervention, will contribute to future satellite missions as well.
