\u2022 UniNa \u2013 Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e delle Tecnologie dell\u2019Informazione (DIETI) dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 degli studi di Napoli Federico II (through a NITEL-DIETI consulting agreement);<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U-DRAGON project consists of a ground infrastructure for telecommunications, whose purpose is the simultaneous management of multiple nano-microsatellites, belonging to different missions and referring to different users. Its functions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 to provide a network of ground stations with fixed-beam and tracking capabilities, able to control a satellite (or a fleet or a constellation of satellites),
\u2022 to interface the ground network directly to the satellite owner’s Mission Control,
\u2022 to manage the satellite using a TT&C software,
\u2022 to receive telemetry streams several times a day,
\u2022 to send commands to the satellites at the earliest opportunity,
\u2022 to provide a service for different types of users, budgets and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ground stations represent the interface between the satellites and U-DRAGON, and allow the communication in the main frequency bands. Telespazio, with the support of NITEL and the consultancy of UNINA, will deal with:
\u2015 the definition of the characteristics of the Ground Stations, with fixed beam and\/or with tracking capability, in conventional and innovative technology (beamforming), for the control of a wide variety of microsatellites and\/or cubesats;
\u2015 the evaluation of the ground stations performance for the aforementioned types in terms of gain, capacity, latency, and the reliability of the use of COTS components;
\u2015 the creation, deploying and testing of the prototypes for both types of Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
