Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Gravity Field of a CubeJames Michael Chappell, Mark John Chappell, Azhar Iqbal, Derek AbbottWe calculate the Newtonian gravitational potential and field of a cubic, homogeneous asteroid and we apply it to the orbit of possible satellites. Large astronomical objects such as stars or planets, naturally tend to form spherical shapes due to the dominance of the gravitational forces, but as a thought experiment, we consider the properties of a planet in the form … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 27 Mar 2013 · 15,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTunability Performance of Reflectarrays Based on Non-Linear Material PropertiesM. Y. Ismail, M. Hashim DahriLimited phase range and narrower bandwidth are the main performance limitations of reflectarray antennas for high gain applications which result in the performance to be restricted particularly in satellite and earth observatory systems. This study provides a thorough investigation on the tunability performance of reflectarrays designed in X-band frequency range using different non-linear dielectric substrates. An investigation of phase agility … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2013 · 7,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Quantum Cryptography through Satellite Networks TransmissionSkander Aris, Abderraouf Messai, Malek Benslama et al.Problem statement: The security of the telecommunications satellite has become a crucial issue. The telecommunications can be set using the classical cryptography. But this so-called classical cryptography provides cryptographic security. This means that security is based on the difficulty of some mathematics problems. On the other hand, quantum cryptography provides security without conditions based on the law of quantum physics. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDaily distribution Map of Ozone (O3) from AIRS over Southeast AsiaJasim M. Rajab, M.Z. MatJafri, H.S. Lim, K. AbdullahProblem statement: Daily retrieved Ozone (O3) column data for 12 day for periods varying (11-18 August) 2005 and 2003 and (12-19 February) 2005, obtained from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder AIRS, are utilized to investigate the ozone distribution over the Southeast Asia. Approach: AIRS included on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua satellite launched on 4 May 2002. Ozone (O3) is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractV-Band Fade Dynamics Characteristics Analysis in Tropical RegionKhairayu Badron, Ahmad Fadzil Ismail, Jafri Din, Ahmad Tharek Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Satellite operations at V-band in tropical and equatorial regions are constrained as a result of attenuation from rain. Approach: Statistics for 20 consecutive months of V-band terrestrial link signal attenuation measurements in Malaysia were presented in this analysis. Such information was considered very pertinent for Earth-space communication link design and can be used for initial groundwork plan for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeologic Mapping of United Arab Emirates using Multispectral Remotely Sensed DataMaged Marghany, Shattri Mansor, Mazlan HashimProblem statement: Geological studies are requiring standard methods and procedures to acquire precisely information. However, traditional methods might be difficult to use due to highly earth complex topography. Regarding the previous prospective, the advantage of satellite remote sensing in its application to geology is the wide coverage over the area of interest, where much accurate and useful information such as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractActive Fire Monitoring with Level 1.5 MSG Satellite ImagesAbdelatif Hassini, Farid Benabdelouahed, Noureddine Benabadji, Ahmed Hafid BelbachirThe first of the new generation of Meteosat satellites, known as Meteosat Second Generation (MSG-1), was launched in August 2002. As with the current Meteosat series, MSG is spin-stabilized and capable of greatly enhanced Earth observations. The satellite’s 12-channel imager, known formally as the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI), observes the full disk of the Earth with an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeveling Process of Total Electron Content (TEC) Using Malaysian Global Positioning System (GPS) DataY. Norsuzila, M. Abdullah, M. IsmailThe signals from the satellites of the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) travel through the earth's ionosphere on their way to GPS receivers. However, ionospheric delay is one of the main sources of error in GPS. The magnitude of the ionospheric delay is influenced by the Total Electron Content (TEC) along the radio wave path from a GPS satellite to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRainfall Attenuation and Rainfall Rate Measurements in Malaysia Comparison with Prediction ModelsMandeep Singh Jit Singh, Syed Idris Syed Hassan, Mohd Fadzil AinAttenuation due to rain is a primary cause of communication impairment on satellite-earth paths, especially above 10GHz. Rainfall is a serious source of attenuation at such a frequency. This paper presents the characteristics of rain distribution in USM based on measured one minute rain rate. For attenuation of rain, predictions models like ITU and VIHT (Variable Isotherm Height Technique) model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArchitecture for Combined Energy and Attitude Control SystemIbrahim Mustafa Mehedi, Renuganth Varatharajoo, Harlisya Harun, Mohd Nizam FilipskiCombining the energy and attitude control system is a feasible technology for small satellites to improve the space missions. In this Combined Energy and Attitude Control System (CEACS) a double rotating flywheel is used to replace the conventional battery for energy storage as well as to control the attitude of an earth oriented satellite. Each flywheel is to be controlled … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,409 accessesView PDFCite
