Journal Article
Graham, C., Bramall, D., Younus, O., Riaz, A., Binns, R., Scullion, E., …Bourgenot, C. (in press). Steering Mirror System with Closed-Loop Feedback for Free-Space Optical Communication Terminals. Aerospace, 11(5), Article 330. https://doi.org/10.3390/aerospace11050330

Precision beam pointing plays a critical role in free-space optical communications terminals in uplink, downlink and inter-satellite link scenarios. Among the various methods of beam steering, the use of fast steering mirrors (FSM) is widely adopted,...

Topology Optimization of a Single-Point Diamond-Turning Fixture for a Deployable Primary Mirror Telescope (2024)
Journal Article
Bourgenot, C., Krumins, V., Bramall, D. G., & Haque, A. M. (2024). Topology Optimization of a Single-Point Diamond-Turning Fixture for a Deployable Primary Mirror Telescope. Aerospace, 11(1), Article 50. https://doi.org/10.3390/aerospace11010050

CubeSats, known for their compact size and cost effectiveness, have gained significant popularity. However, their limited size imposes restrictions on the optical aperture and, consequently, the Ground Resolution Distance in Earth Observation mission...
