Resolving the Origin of Deimos: Combining Global and Local Composi-tional Analysis with the small-sat TASTE Mission
Understanding the formation of Phobos and Deimos is critical for decoding the history of Mars and the evolution of the outer Solar System. The scientific debate centers on two models: for-mation via a Martian giant impact or the capture of D-type asteroids. The TASTE – Terrain Analyzer and Sample Tester Explorer mission seeks to resolve…

Lesson Learned in the Operation of a CubeSat ADCS in the Presence of Sensor Anomaly
Small satellites and CubeSats often employ commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components to achieve cost effectiveness, but these components are prone to anomalies that may jeopardize mission success. It is thus desired to learn from operational experience for continuous improvement. In the paper, lessons learned from the operation of the Lilium-1 CubeSat attitude determination and control subsystem…
