“…Multiple objectives and constraints often arise from developing such a WSN for space-based security applications (Arslan et al 2006;Vladimiroval et al 2006;Yang et al 2007;Watson et al 2004;Kumar et al 2002). These multiple objectives often compete or conflict in essence, for example, think of the coverage of sensor networks and the number of participating sensor nodes involved in the system which can be online reconfigured.…”

“…Technical advances in ad hoc networks, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices, lowpower electronics, adaptive and reconfigurable hardware, micro-spacecraft, and micro-sensors have enabled the design and development of such highly integrated space wireless sensor networks for security applications (Clare et al 2005;Krishnamurthy and Preis 2005;Vladimiroval et al 2006). For example, the ESPACENET 1 project (Arslan et al 2006;Vladimiroval et al 2006) aims to design evolvable and reconfigurable sensor networks and distributed reconfigurable System-On-Chip (SoC) sensor nodes for aerospace-based monitoring and diagnostics.…”

Wireless sensor networks have emerged as a promising way to develop high security systems. This paper presents the optimizations of a space-based reconfigurable sensor network under hard constraints by employing an efficient multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA). First, a system model is proposed for cluster-based space wireless sensor networks. Second, the statement of multi-objective optimization problems is mathematically formulated under hard constraints. Third, the MOEA is used to find multi-criteria solutions in the sense of Pareto optimality. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of applying the MOEA to the multi-objective evolutionary optimizations of a space-based reconfigurable sensor network under hard constraints

The paper proposes a micromachined antenna on a silicon substrate for Aerospace applications. The research focuses on the feasibility of fabricating antennas using standard fabrication and 3D integration techniques to develop a single chip solution for wideband/multiband communication devices.The antenna reported in this paper is designed to work between 30-150 GHz, for applications of high bandwidth point-to-point communication, radio astronomy and remote sensing for satellites. The antenna is specially developed as a payload for the ESPACENET [1, 2] sensor satellite, which is based around a CubeSat [3] nanosatellite frame.The antenna is designed to operate with the objective being to achieve the smallest implementation with high efficiency, the minimum loss while accomplishing consistent performance over the prescribed range of frequencies. The antenna design fits on a 4mm 2 die and has been simulated using MicroStripes, which predicts promising results for 7 different bands over the desired operating range of 30-150 GHz. For a majority of these bands the efficiency of the antenna is within 80-95%, whilst the directivity is 4.5-6.5dBi and the gain of 2.2-5.5dBi. The radiation patterns for the operating range vary within nominal parameters and had 8-16% bandwidth between the operating ranges. 12

“…Space Based Wireless Satellite Sensor Networks (SBWSSN) is an emerging application based on traditional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) targeting compact, miniaturized, and multi-functional picosatellites [15]. An SBWSSN retains the inherent features of WSN, at the same time presents further challenges such as limited energy supply to nodes, constrained communication distance, multi-hop information gathering and diffusion, all of which must be catered to, in the SBWSSN design.…”

Collaborative networks of miniaturized satellite nodes demand new comprehensive and efficient distributed algorithms and protocols. The mobile nature of these nodes requires that these algorithms and protocols must be adaptive to ceaseless topology changes. This paper proposes an adaptive decision making function and weight factor targeting a highly efficient algorithm for distributed nodes. The new emerging algorithm aims to solve the above deployment problem. Other research work inspired by classical dynamics that study the movement of objects, called virtual force algorithm, is compared to the new algorithm in the paper. Our results demonstrate that the deployment algorithm using Decision Making function and distributed nodes' Weight Factor provide much more efficiency and savings in mobility energy than the existing algorithms.
