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）为总部训练、技术演示和先进的天基研究提供了新的机会。下一代纳米卫星已经正在取代传统（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、船只跟踪、通信、资源监测、大气科学和地球物理学。我们约克研究团队的重点是开发一系列纳米卫星技术，这些技术将引导我们在不久的将来执行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，扩展当前的纳米卫星研究，以研究纳米卫星设计领域，特别是低地球轨道通信任务。开普勒一直在与多个研究合作伙伴合作，包括过去几年的支持者，以星载低成本纳米卫星作为关键平台，开发下一代电信解决方案。作为技术演示的第一步，开普勒团队开发并表征了适合星载电信服务的定制高数据速率收发器。接下来，该团队计划于2017年底在CubeSat级卫星上演示空地通信。从长远来看，开普勒将逐步部署卫星基础设施，全面建立全球网络。以建立完整的卫星网络多达 40 颗航天器在轨运行，卫星和任务设计的多个领域需要改进。从拟议的 CRD 项目中，我们建议开发自主任务操作算法，以实现演示电信任务的多卫星、多地面站操作的最大效率。
