Thermospheric Mass Density Modelling during Geomagnetic Quiet and Weakly Disturbed Time by Changyong He, Wang Li, Andong Hu, Dunyong Zheng, Han Cai, Zhaohui Xiong

“…Atmospheric drag stands out as the predominant non-gravitational force acting on satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), with altitudes below 2000 km. This drag exhibits a strong dependence on the thermospheric mass density (TMD), a parameter of vital significance in the realms of orbit determination, prediction, collision avoidance, and re-entry forecasting. …”

LEO-Constellation-Augmented BDS Precise Orbit Determination Considering Spaceborne Observational Errors by Min Li, Tianhe Xu, Haibo Ge, Meiqian Guan, Honglei Yang, Zhenlong Fang, Fan Gao

“…The precise orbit determination (POD) accuracy of the Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is still not comparable to that of the Global Positioning System because of the unfavorable geometry of the BDS and the uneven distribution of BDS ground monitoring stations. Fortunately, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, serving as fast moving stations, can efficiently improve BDS geometry. …”

Preparation and Characterization of Transparent Polyimide Nanocomposite Films with Potential Applications as Spacecraft Antenna Substrates with Low Dielectric Features and Good Sus... by Yan Zhang, Bo-han Wu, Han-li Wang, Hao Wu, Yuan-cheng An, Xin-xin Zhi, Jin-gang Liu

“…Optically transparent polyimide (PI) films with good dielectric properties and long-term sustainability in atomic-oxygen (AO) environments have been highly desired as antenna substrates in low earth orbit (LEO) aerospace applications. However, PI substrates with low dielectric constant (low-<i>D</i>_k), low dielectric dissipation factor (low-<i>D</i>_f) and high AO resistance have rarely been reported due to the difficulties in achieving both high AO survivability and good dielectric parameters simultaneously. …”
