Executive Summary
SMS2 (Sustainable Multi-functional Satellite Systems) investigates the co-design and coexistence of multi-functional payloads (communications, radar earth observation, and navigation) operating on shared hardware and spectrum on single satellite platforms.
Key Objectives & Contributions
- Shared Spectrum & Hardware Coexistence: Development of joint waveform optimization algorithms allowing simultaneous communication and radar sensing without self-interference.
- Spectrum Efficiency: Maximizing spectral utilization in L-band and S-band non-terrestrial networks.
- Space Sustainability: Minimizing orbital footprint and energy consumption per satellite payload.
