Nanosatellites (spacecraft with mass less than 10 kilograms) offer novel opportunities for HQP training, technology demonstration, and advanced space-based research. The next generations of nanosatellites are already replacing conventional (large-scale, expensive, state-operated) satellites for a variety of private industry and academic research missions, including animal tracking, vessel tracking, communication, resourcemonitoring, atmospheric science and geophysics. It has been a focus of our research team at York to develop a series of nanosatellite technologies that will lead us to an advanced scientific nanosatellite missions in near future. In this CRD project, we propose to extend the current nanosatellite research, in partnership with Kepler Communications (referred to as 'Kepler' hereinafter) to examine an area of nanosatellite design especially for communication mission from low-earth orbit. Kepler has been working with several research partners, including the proponent in the last few years to develop a next generation telecommunication solution, using space-borne, low-cost nanosatellite as the key platform. As the first step towards the technology demonstration, the Kepler team has developed and characterized custom high data-rate transceiver suitable for space-borne telecommunication service. Next, the team plans to demonstrate the space-ground communication on-board a CubeSat-class satellite in late 2017. In long run, Kepler will incrementally deploy the satellite infrastructure to fully establish a global network.In order to establish full satellite network with as many as 40 spacecraft in orbit, several areas of satellite and mission design need to be improved. From the proposed CRD project, we are proposing to develop autonomous mission operation algorithm to achieve maximum efficiency in demonstrating multi-satellite, multi-ground station operation of telecommunication mission.

纳米卫星（质量小于10公斤的航天器）为HQP培训、技术演示和先进的天基研究提供了新的机会。下一代超小型卫星已经在取代常规（大型、昂贵、国营）卫星，用于各种私营工业和学术研究任务，包括动物跟踪、船舶跟踪、通信、资源监测、大气科学和地球物理学。我们约克的研究小组一直致力于开发一系列纳米卫星技术，这些技术将在不久的将来引领我们实现先进的科学纳米卫星任务。在这个CRD项目中，我们建议与开普勒通信公司（以下简称“开普勒”）合作，扩大目前的纳米卫星研究，以研究纳米卫星设计领域，特别是用于低地球轨道通信使命。开普勒一直在与几个研究伙伴合作，包括过去几年的支持者，以开发下一代电信解决方案，使用星载低成本纳米卫星作为关键平台。作为技术演示的第一步，开普勒团队开发了适用于星载电信服务的定制高数据速率收发器，并对其进行了表征。接下来，该团队计划在2017年底展示CubeSat-class卫星上的空间-地面通信。从长远来看，开普勒将逐步部署卫星基础设施，以充分建立一个全球网络。为了建立一个完整的卫星网络，多达40个航天器在轨道上，卫星和使命设计的几个领域需要改进。从拟议的CRD项目，我们建议开发自主使命操作算法，以实现最大的效率，在演示多卫星，多地面站操作的电信使命。
