This paper proposes the design of a single-element rectangular microstrip patch antenna that operates in the C-band at 7.1 GHz and the X-band at 9.2 GHz. The proposed antenna is simulated using Advanced Design System (ADS) software. To meet the requirements of the proposed antenna, such as high efficiency and gain, the patch is slightly modified with a mm extension of length at the center, and the performance of the antenna is studied in terms of antenna parameters such as return loss, VSWR, gain, and radiation pattern.","PeriodicalId":512770,"journal":{"name":"Acceleron Aerospace Journal","volume":"27 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140364301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effects on Aircraft Performance Due to Geometrical Twist of Wing","authors":"Prajwal N, Kushal Chatterjee","doi":"10.61359/11.2106-2410","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.61359/11.2106-2410","url":null,"abstract":"This paper provides an overview of the effects of Geometric Twist on Aircraft performance by introducing a washout condition in an aircraft wing. This condition results in an effective Angle of Attack at the wingtip that is lower than the Angle of Attack at the wing root. Using CFD analysis, the variation of aircraft performance factors such as lift, drag coefficients, and aerodynamic efficiency is calculated for different Twist angles. A plot of lift and drag coefficients at varying Angle of Attack angles has been generated based on these analyses. These results illustrate the advantages of wing twist variation, particularly at higher angles of attack. One significant advantage of Geometric Twist is that it causes stall conditions to first occur at the wing root, providing a signal to the pilot to control the aircraft before the stall reaches the wingtip. This ensures the effectiveness of control surfaces, such as Ailerons and Flaps, located at the wing trailing edge. A comparison is made between the lift, drag coefficients, and aerodynamic efficiency of twisted wings and untwisted wings with identical parameters. While twisting the wingtip yields favourable results at higher Angles of Attack (AOA) compared to an untwisted wing, the aerodynamic efficiency of the wings decreases at lower AOA. However, applying the twist angle at high angles of attack, such as 10, 12.5, 15, and 20 degrees, leads to an increase in aerodynamic efficiency.","PeriodicalId":512770,"journal":{"name":"Acceleron Aerospace Journal","volume":"67 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140364941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gone are the days when satellites were huge in size, with systems and sub-systems taking several months to a few years to be manufactured, assembled, tested, and launched depending on the mission. A wide variety of technological developments in the past decades, including miniaturization of systems and subsystems, availability of space-qualified and commercially-off-the-shelf (COTS) components, and the advent of application-specific integrated chips (ASICs) have paved the way for an increase in quantity and quality of space-based systems, thereby enabling a wide variety of missions even for emerging space economies. With the growing number and complexity of satellites, there have been multiple recorded instances of attacks that have happened on space and ground-based systems over the last three decades. For example, in 1986, the Galaxy I satellite uplink was disrupted by a suspicious person from Florida under the pseudonym \"Captain Midnight\". In 1997, computers belonging to the X-ray astrophysics section of the Goddard Space Flight Center campus were compromised. In 1998, the ROSAT X-RAY satellite co-owned by the United States and Germany was hacked. One of the satellites from the military communication system Skynet - owned and operated by the UK's Royal Air Force was hacked. As we enter the space age, it is important to note that many countries, including underdeveloped nations, utilize satellites for various earth-based and space-based applications, military recon missions, interplanetary missions, and all other types of space exploration. Given the extent of utilization, it is crucial to tackle the threats facing space-based and ground-based systems. Some developed and space-faring nations like the USA, Russia, China, the UK, etc., have counter-space capabilities at present to tackle a wide variety of threats. On the other hand, countries like India, Iran, Australia, New Zealand, and UAE, which are still new or emerging players in the new space industry, are still developing their systems to be robust enough to tackle space-based and ground-based threats. At the farther end are countries like Mongolia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Norway, etc., which are still developing their space capabilities. In this concise abstract, we present an overview of the myriad security threats encountered by both space-based and ground-based systems. Additionally, we introduce a generic and cost-effective threat assessment framework designed to evaluate these threats across diverse scenarios. This mission-agnostic framework, along with its brief methodology, serves as a foundational tool for identifying security vulnerabilities and formulating comprehensive risk mitigation strategies tailored to specific missions.
